SPORT OF eRAz|L|ANs
STANDING AS BASEBALL
IN UNITED STATES

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 2.-As-
ISOLATION foot ball is the popular
outdoor sport of Brazil. In fact
1t is virtually the only outdoor sport
to which the Brazilians have taken
with much enthusiasm. There is
some interest in tennis, swimming
and rowing, but football is to the
younger generation of Brazil what
baseball is to the people of the
United States. Brazilians are not
interested in baseball.
The game was adopted in Brazil
about Is years ago. Interest awak-
ened by the games played by the
British residents was quickened by
the return of Brazilian youths from
schools in England. A few of them
Joined the British teams and later
formed clubs of their own. Today
there are as many clubs in Rio de
Janeiro as there are amateur base
ball clubs in one of the large cities
OF the United States. All are anna
teur organizations and many leagues
exist in this city under the super
vision of the "Metropolitana de Des-
portos T~errestres." The clubs of
the entire country r governed by
the Confederation Brazileira dos
Desoprtes." 5,
City, state and national champion
ships are held and then an ALI
star tea mis- picked to represent
Brazil in the annual series for tine
championship of South America,
other countries participating being
Chile, Argentina and Uruguay.
This international championship
has been held three times only. be-
ginning in 1916 in Buenos Aires
with Uruguay victorious. In 1917
it was held in Montevideo and Uru-
quay won again. The 1918 series
was postponed owing to the Spanish
influenza epidemic in Brazil in OctO-
Der and did not take place until
May, 1919, Rio de Janeiro being the
city and the victorious team Bra
iii. The next series for the year
1919 will be held in Santiago, Chile
late this year. A plan to have the
United States enter this champion
ship has been frequently discussed
here, with a view to making it an
"All-American" affair.
In Rio de Janeiro. the Flumeness
club with a membership of 5000 re-
Gently constructed a half million
dollar stadium and it was here that
the recent championship games were
played. With a seating capacity of
300.0 the stadium was filled for
each of the six games.
From the viewpoint of the North
American the striking feature at
one of these games is in hearing
the Brazilian "torcedores" or root
ers" use the English language. In
adopting the game the English X
pressions were also accepted and the
shrieks of foul" "offside" and
"shoot the goal" coming from the
lips of the Brazilians are always a
source of much surprise to the
North American seing his first
game.

OLD TIME CAMP

NSoAtihoSS -
ing out and shipping ores at a most
satisfactory profit.
E. s. Lawrence, president of the
Exchequer Leasing and Mining COM
pany, who has been spending some
time in the district, has been kind
enough to furnish the Record with
the following details of present ac-
~tivities there:
The two oldest mines of the dis
trict are the Egan and the Star.
The Egan is located south of the
town of Cherry Creek and was or
iginally opened up and worked by
General Rosecrans, who was in COM
mand of a troop of cavalry sta
toned in the country when the
mine was discovered. This mine
was on the line of the old overland
stage line. and was visited by Mark
Twain and other celebrities in the
pioneer days of the state. 1t was
a great producer in the early days
and is now under lease by j. w.
Walker and NJ. l.. Thomas, who are
confident that there are still good
values in the old property.
The Star mine is located two
miles north of Cherry Creek and is
owned by an English syndicate and
has not been operated since the be-
ginning of the world war in 1914.
1t has produced many million dol
lars in silver bullion and has the
largest mill in the district.
The largest group of mining
claims in the district at the present
time is under control of the Ex-
cheluer Leasing and Mining COM
pany Production from these
claims has figured in the history
of the camp during past years and
there is every eason to believe that
it will continue to do so. The
majority of the claims are situated
three miles north of Cherry Creek.
They have five large buildings,
three medium and two small, all
with the requisite equipment. The
erection of an S0-ton mill has been
planned, the material for the first
unit of which is expected to arrive
in a short time. At present their
monthly shipments average over 40
C in silver and $1.00 gold per
ton. A considerable tonnage of ore
was left in the old workings which
runs from 20 to 35 unce per ton.
The Exchequer vein continues for
a distance of 5000 feet in a north
east-southwest direction and is de-
veloped by open cuts. The ore
above the tunnel level and near the
surface shows values of from 20 to
35 ounces silver, while there is es-
timated to be 10000 tons of mill
ing ore on the dumps running FROM
Is to rs ounces. The water level
in the Exchequer shaft, which is
valuable for milling purposes, must
be lowered considerably before oper
atoms at depth can be made. This
will be done by the means of a
rapidly progressing drift which will
connect the bottom of the $50 foot
level of the E%xchequer shaft with
that Of the Imperial shaft. where
ore is now being mined and
shipped.-Ely Record.

Opinion of Governor Shoup-Also
Declares Water Trust Should

That the land of Colorado
should be owned by the men who
are willing to work it and that
large tracts of land leased by in

subleased should be broken up
and sold to people willing to farm,
with preference given to soldiers,

Shoup made before the state board
of land commissioners Thursday.

and C. X. McHarg of Pueblo az
the owners of land leased to ten

cut up.
Scarcely had the members of the
land board and delegation OF
Pueblo county citizens recovered
from the shock which the COVER
nor had given them, when he
startled them once more by declar-
ing that q water trust exists in
this state and that this trust
should be broken up. He ex.
pressed the belief that he could
hire an attorney and break up
this trust.

BEST WHEAT IN YEARS.
Five Loads Delivered Last Week at
Garden City.

NJ. M. Baker of just east of the
city delivered five loads of wheat
to the Garden City elevator the lat
ter part of last week, which tested
on an average, at 81 pounds, and
was dark brown, No. l hard, and
he received the top notch price of
S2.25 per bushel for it. This is said
to be the highest price paid here
this season for wheat.
The wheat was raised on the ele-
ven acres just across the road
from the Baker home, and one
quarter south, and averaged about
32 bushels per acre. A header was
used in cutting it, and the stacking
was carefully attended to, in order
that the proper curing could be
had.
Elevator officials state that
this is the best hard No. l brown
wheat that has been received here
in years. Mr. Baker was busy all
the latter part of the week thresh-
ing, having several other fields Of
wheat, but none tested as well as

Later Indications.

In connection with the disap-
pearance of Sheriff Kibler some
later developments have resulted
in feeling that he has betrayed
the trust of number of his friends
who endorsed notes for him and it
is estimated that he took nearly a
thousand dollars with him and
it is reported that he left his
family almost destitute. The dis
appearance of a woman of about
the same time has also contributed
to the feeling that Mr.. Kibler's
disappearance was premeditated.
There is some talk of making a
systematic search for him.

So Says the Federal Trade
Commission.
PACKERS, TANNERS AND
RETAILERS ARE BLAMED
Hide Market Virtually Controlled
by Great Meat Concerns and Elk
orbitant Profits Are Made Up
For by Excessive Charges.

The following news dispatch is
taken from last nights Denver
Post:
Washington, Aug. 6-The high
price of shoes was declared to be
due to excessive profits taken by
every factor in the shoe produc-
tion industry in report by the
federal trade commission to cong
ress made public Wednesday. The
packers were charged with having
begun the pyramiding of shoe
prices by an unwarranted in
crease in the price of hides, the
supply of which they were said to
control. On top of this the tan
ners have taken exceptional pro-
fits" while the shoe manufacturers
have demanded an unusual
margin" and the retailers have
made unwarranted increases in the
price that are mot justifiable."
The commissions report covers
the 4-year period from 1914 to 1918.
To show that the packers have
made unWarranted increases in the
price of packer" hides, the report
pointed out that the price differen-
tial between their hides and "coun-
try hides hides of a lower grade
has increased far beyond the usu-
al proportion"
(horroc ,>,,
against the tanner and the shoe
manufacturer were said to be sup
ported by "the high rates of re-
turn On investments" in both in
dustries following the price in
creases
"rhe public" said the report,
had to pay prices for shoes that
not only could not be justified be
cause retail shoe dealers took too
much profit but because the deal
er had to pass on to the consumer
the excessive profits received by
butcher for hides and also the ex-
cess profits of tanners and shoe
manufacturers"
Some relief from the intOlerabIe
rrices paid by consumers for shoes
may be had" the commission said,
by:
IA rigid enforcement of the
laws against monopolistic control
of commodities.
"2-Legislation forbidding pro
ducers of hides engaging in the
tanning business, and
"3-The adoption of a device in
the distribution of shoes that will
acquaint the consumer with the
selling prices OF the manufacturer.
