POLLOCK PROGRESS

The state board of equalization Of
North Dakota, at . me esting last Satur
day, gave farm land valuations a
boost az from l5 to 25 per cent above
the amount returned by the various
county boards of equalization. This
boost, coming on top of q heavy In
crease in valuations rs Sreturned by
assessors this spring, will give fhe
farmers Of North Dakota more food
for thought and may cause them to
wonder where they are to be .bene-
fitted by the N. r. reign. Land valu-
Hations in Emmons county, returned by
the county board at $15.25 per acre,
were raised by The state board to
$18.36. This is an increase Of over 20
per cent and no doubt will cause the
farmers Of that county to shout with
JOY.
AT last Pollock is to have electric
lights. All kinds of schemes and ideas
have been advocated and tried during
the past few years to get an electric
light plant for our town but all have
come to naught. II.
Now, however, we are reasonably
certain that our town will soon have
|a plant established here and before
many moons roll around "juice' will
be on tap for those who wish to use

"in the high schools of the state to
check over the courses of study of
students preparing to teach in rural
schools. They are not being taught to
make out programs-to make out pro-
grams" he repeated.
Miss Nelson called Mr.. Muir's at
tention to the fact that each county
has superintendent of schools whose
duty it is to look after this work.
But" objected the very Rev.
George A. Totten, "the county SUPER
intendent is located at the county seat
and may be DO miles away"
So the job of checking over high
school courses and teaching prospec-
tive rural school teachers to "make
out programs" is delegated to Mr..
Macdonald, who may be all the way
from zoe to 500 miles away.

the board Of administration came up
Thursday. The secretary reported that
something had gone wrong with, the
building of garage or some other
important adjunct to the science
school at Wahpcton. Chairman Tot
ten thought Muir could go down and
fix it up and Muir agreed that he'd
like a ride on the steam cars, 80 that
was arranged.
Along toward the close Of the after
noon, after he, had milled it over for
some time, Totten decided he'd like
to take trip, too, and he announced
his intention of accompanying Muir.
Not to be outdone, Mr.. Casey Joined

probably have been disposed of in a
five minutes long distance telephone

A. E. Tye and son, Russell, of Haz.
elton, recently went down to Fargo
for an inspection on the new Equity
Packing Plant, financed by North Da-
kota and neiehboring farmers.
The Record man asked Mr.. Tye for
soma first-hand information on what
he found out as to the operation Of
the plant. Mr.. Tye states that there
seemed to be between twenty and
thirty employees in the plant, which
indicates that the plant is running at
much less than capacity, as the man
Fagement Of that institution has stated
that many times that number would
be required to reach the plants capa-
city.
Mr.. Tye was Interested primarily on
two points. He wanted to know what
prices were being paid for live stock
and whether or not individuals were
allowed to bid against the packing
plant authorities for stock shipped
to that point. AS to prices paid, Mr.
Tye states that hesaw the receipt
given a shipper Of some hogs, and
that the price paid was about two
cents below market. Upon asking
whether or not he would be allowed
to bid for stock, he was informed that
II he bid higher than the packing
plant authorities his bid would not be
considered.
Mr.. Tyc expects to make no ship
ments to the Fargo institution.
At strasburg, last week, the Rec
ord was informed that people in that
vicinity were refusing to ship to Far
go because Of the lower prices paid
there.

MOORE LOST OWING
TO ALLEGED FOUL

NEW YORK, July 9.-Accordine to
Yesterdays cabled information from
England. Pal Moore. the American ban
tam. was decided against by Referee
CORR because of violation of the English
boxing rule prohibiting the striking of
blows with the open glove 1t is de-
clared that CORR warned Moore in the
tenth round, and it was this offense that
cost Moore the victory CORR did not
dlsqualify Moore. as he could have done
under the rules, but named Wilde the
winner on points. Only one warning is
said to have been given to Moore about
the open glove offense, despite the fact
that it has been the custom of English
referees to warn an offender three times
and disqualify for the fourth violation
In the absence of an official statement
from CORR it appears that lie decided in
Wlldes favor on points. although the
real basis for the decision was Monre's
violation of rules. BY this decision the
impression is conveyed that Wilde had
the better. of the engagement on his mer-
its as a boxer although all reports agree
that the Briton was decisively out
pointed by the American.

|HEyDLER BACKS BOARD
He Thinks Directors Were Within
Rights Tossing Out Game That
Cincinnati Won.

, NEW YORK, July 1s.-President
Heydler of the National League has
issued statement UNFOLDING the &C
ton of the board of directors in ex-
punging from the records the second
game played between Cincinnati and
Pittsburgh on July 6. The statement
was made in answer to criticisms by
Garry Hermann, president of the
Cincinnati club.
Heydler said that he referred the
protest against the game. made by
the New York National club, to. the
board instead of deciding it himself
because of the extraordinary nature
OF the complaint. but that if there had
been a tie vote he would have voted
as the board decided. He termed the
protest one involving a violation of
the constitutional provisions of the
league and not an ordinary complaint
OF violation of the playing rules or
against an umpires rulings.
The papers of complaint were
mailed the Cincinnati club on July g.
Heydler said. NO reply had been
received for eight days thereafter.
Il do not consider Herman rs pro-
tests we'll taken. He has elected to
remain away from the last two league
meetings as well as one board meet
ing. At all of these meetings mat
tiers were considered in which the
Cincinnati club was especially inter-
eSted."

BOSTON RED S0X MAY
CHANGE HANDS SOON

BOSTON. Mass. July 19.-The sale
of the Boston Red Sox seems likely in
the near future. Inner circles" have it
that Harry Frazee, the present owner,
has let it out that the club can be
bought.
1t is no secret here that at least
three offers have been made for the
Boston club. One of these comes from
New York interests and two are local,
the latter inquiries being made
through a downtown bank.
The sum offered by the New Workers
exceeds a million dollars, including
the clubs property. but at least one
of the Boston offers is as big.
If change is made in the ownership
of the organization it is practically
certain that John E. Stanton. now vice
president, will remain with it as
stockholder. He is a red-hot base
ball fan and any new owners would
be likely to want to keep him, as he
is leading citizen, influential and
genuine booster" Indeed, it is de-
clared that he is concerned in one OF
the local offers to take over the club.
Persons who ought to know are ad.
uniting that President FraZee is UNI
happy at the showing the Red Sox are
making this season. He confidently
believed at the opening of the season
that he would capture the American
League pennant without the slightest
difficulty and the realization that the
chance has become remote, if not en-
tirely extinct, has come to him as a
shock, according to close friends.
Frazee has had nothing to say to date,
but the air is full of smoke and
break is looked for very shortly. /, ~

Why Fights Are Patronized.

In no year-at any rate, in the time
of the present generation-has there
been so much definite and distinct
interest in boxing as at present
There are several causes for this,
but the one bulking largest is natu-
rally the world war, for every nation
found that it must in the ultimate
issue have strong fighting men. No
matter what guns or munitions or
implements of warfare were made.
there had to be rank and file of men
to do the work and these men must
of necessity. be physically strong and
enduring, as well as courageous and
having individual pluck and tenacity-
men who could endure pain and hard
ships, and still go forward: men who.
iE other words. were of fighting
type. Although we had considera bly,
lost what, in our modern civilization
instincts. there were still traces of
them here and there. Somehow the
public. even the most refined of them.
still like to look on the spectacle OF
foot ball game on the spectacle of
or test of fistic skill and courage.
There were those who arranged
these spectacIes and there were
others who went still farther and did
their best to eliminate the hard and
severe side of such contests.
Hence it is particularly interesting
at this time to study puglism. as
it is called by some, prizefghting by
others and boxing by some with
mental reservation. 1t has always
been the case that many who have
not, either through physical inferority
or for other reasons. taken part in
boxing have still been the most ar
dent admirers of those heroes of the
ring. OF course. as is the case in
many other things of like nature.
thousands have been led to boxing
through watching and admiring
others, and it is difficult to say how
much public exhibitions of this char
acter have meant to the community.
1t may have brutalized some, but it
has undoubtedly benefited others.
The history of boxing in England is
particularly interesting along this
line. There was a time in early 1900
when boxing came steadily to such
a point of popularity that pugilists
were looked upon with great favor.
not only by the nobility but by men
prominent in state affairs, as well as
by scholars and literary men. Tom
Crib. who was the most prominent
pugilist in the early eighteen hun
dreds, not only boxed before the
crowned heads, but has monument
erected in Woolwich Churchyard.

When it comes to molding a winner
out of a lot of nisft material Pat
Moran. the only manager to produce a
pennant in the National League in Phil
adelphia, is the past master.
All of which has been said many times
and then repeated with slight changes
in wording. but il is a theme on which
much can be said and serves as swell
prologue to a review of what Pat, the
miracle man. has done during the
short period in which he has held sway
in Cincinnati.
Last fall no one would have believed
that anybody bnt Pat Moran would be
at the helm of the Phillics this season
The history of his release, however, and
his subsequent adventures, ending with
his signing to manage the Reds shortly
before the training camp mobilization,
Is known even to Henry Ford.
Pat came upon the Reds when they
were at their worst, and looked as
though it didn't matter much whether
they had manager or not. 1t was
hard to see how they would be able to
remain in the league. for they looked
like anything but a ball team. They
would have made a swell section gang,
for they were unSkilled laborerS.

leaders. and are only there because rain
prevented three clashes with the tail

When Moran drifted to Redland he
needed a shortstop, second baseman,
an outfielder and some pitchers. Besides
all that he was forced to fill the shoes

in the game. With those few exceptions

Career of Jack Broughton.

In this connection one should re-
member the career and final down
fall of the famous Jack Broughton.
a Waterman and then later Woman
Of the Guard. and who finally became
the leading British pugilist. During
eighteen years Broughton relgned as
undisputed champion of England and
then ceased to fight for some little
time, as there were no challengers:
He let himself grow fat and out Of
condition. and when attending a race
meeting at Hounslow he met a
butcher named Slack. who insulted
him. whereupon Broughton threatened
to thrash Slack with horse whip
he had in his hand unless an i'm
Slack would not apologize and in
fact challenged Broughton to defend
his title. Broughton was very con-
fident of the result and did not train
very hard. So sure was he of win
ming that the day before the battle
he sent his opponent ten guineas not
to break the engagement.
When the men entered the ring
everybody felt sorry for Slack So
obvious was the superiority of the
champion in the first round that he
became 10 to l favorite, but in
true, mo fight is won until the man
is actually counted out" For. after
being severely punished for some
time, Slack suddenly rallied all his
strength and got in a blow between
the champions eyes. So powerful
was this that it speedily closed
Broughton's eyes, who CROPPED blindly
around the ring for his antagonist.
The Duke of Cumberland, who was
then Broughton's patron, called out,
what are you about. Broushton

MARSTON AND WILD
ARE GOLF FINALISTS

NEW YORK. July 19.-Erstwhile
club rivals, Max R. Marston and f.
NJ. Wild will meet for the New Jer-
sey State Golf Association title IN
thirty-six- hole final round over the
Deal links today. They both repre-
sent Baltusrol now. though years ago
their clashes for the Crawford cham
pionship were memorable events.
These two survivors won easily in
the second rounds yesterday morning,
but had to work hard later on. In
fact Wild only downed a. F. KAN
mer. another Baltusrol representative.
after an extra hole match. Opinion
is divided as to the outcome today.
Some fancy Marston because of his
many successes and greater tourna-
ment experience. while others pick
Wild in the belief that he will be less
liable to tire especially when the
going is heavy, as at present.
