Gene Tunney Is Joke, According
 To Billy Roche
Says Carpenter Should Fight Either Madden or Bren-
 nan Before Dempsey
By JAMES J. CoRBETT

Where" inquiries Billy Roche, one of the best known referees in America do the sporting experts get the l- cense to advocata meeting between Gene T1nney and Gecrges Carpentier And how do they get that way-stating Tunney is the logical foeman for the Frenchman?
 What's Tunney ever done to merit chance, with Carpenter? He's knocked out ten men or so-and .z ry one was jokel He never fought a good man in his lite For nearly a year the public has howled at him take on a tough one once in a while and Tunney hasn't done anything of the sort. Easy marks that's his specially.
 There are two white men in the game who are qualified to give the foreigner real workout; two men who can test his reai worth. One of them is Knockout Bill Brennan-and the other is Bartley Madden. Between the two Madden is infinitely the better.
 'Tm ready right now to back Mad den to the limit--if Carpenter will fight him. And if the two of them ever do get together, it5ll be worth going quite distance to see that af- fair-presuming that the Frenchman is good as is cla imed. If he isn't that good--if he shows no more than he showed against Levinsky--then it's a safe bet that Carpenter will be elirni- mated in that fight from any further discussion as Jack Dempseys prospec- tive ring foe
 Madden never has been knocked out or even knocked off his feet. That's a better record than Carpenter can displsy-and Madden. mind you. has fought men infinitely better than the Frenchrpan has tackled Bartley took on the giant Fred Fulton when the big fellow was going great and held him off--and did it easily-for the full six rounds. And Madden wasn't as good then as he is now.
 Madden whipped Levinsky when the battler was real fighter-not a hu- man bulk as he was when he met Car pentier. Madden fought and decisively defeated Brennan when Bill was knock ing them dead. He knocked out Jim Coffey when Coffey was being re- garded as a world beater.
 Madden has beaten every heavy weight of prominence in the game to- day--except Jack Dempsey. And he's never had a crack at Dempsey
 Madden is one of the toughest and gamest of all ring warriors. Nobody ever has hurt him. He's taken the stiffest punches of score of men and never stopped tearing in. He's fought clever men-and 'hard hitters But none ever stopped him.
 'Jf Carpenter wants a real fight to show whether he's any good. let him lay off the I.evinskys. the Tunneys and other has beens and non- arrivals Let him take on Madden. He'll have a chance in such meeting to show whether he's any good or not If the Frenchman can beat Madden. I'll admit and so will the sporting world-that he's areal fighter and entitled to swar punches with Dempsey
 ''But I don't think that Carpenter is in a class with Madden It's my opinion-and I've been identified with the fight game for over twenty five years-that Madden not only can beat Carpenter but probably knock hin,

DERA|LED
NEAR LAKE PRESTON
OVER TWO HUNDRED FEET OF
TRACkAGE TORN UP AS
RESULT.

For several weeks past trainmen
have exercised due caution while
travelling over sections of roadbed
that are ballasted only with dirt and
subject to wash in the heavy rains.
Up the north line there are several
places where speed must be limited
to less than thirty miles per hour
Soft track has already caused two
wrecks within the past two months
and last night there was another one
not far from Lake Preston.
Yesterdays local freight coming
from Bristol was derailed some time
last night, that is, three cars of the
train went into the ditch. They were
a coach, a car load of coal and the
way car. No one was injured, so far
as could be learned today.
Last nights derailment delayed the
morning passenger from the north
until after mid-afternOon Passen-
gers, baggage and mail for Sioux
Falls and other points south left on
time on a train that was made up in
the local yards.
One travelling man, in speaking of
the swaying motion train has in
coming from Sioux Falls to Madi-
son, compared it TO riding on q

STATE CROPS ARE
To BE- IARCF
HAY YIELD IN WESTERN SOUTH
DAKOTA LARGEST IN MANY
YEARS.

Pierre, July 15.-The eastern part
of the state is making a great crop
showing at the present. time.
A few fields of corn in the south
ern part of the state are laid by
for the season, but cultivation is yet
the order of the day on most farms.
While small grain is making a fine
showing, it is not likely that any har-
vesting will be done even in the
southern counties inside of two
weeks, while farther north it will be
later. But the grain section of the
northern part of the state never made
a better showing.
Wheat, as well as all small grain
except possibly a few late fields, is
headed out and flax is beginning to
blossom, with the fields showing a
magnificent growth and promise of
a heavy crop.
Outside of the feeded sections of
the state the crop outlook was never
better at this time of the season, the
only jarring note being the hail dam
age which shows up in strips and
spots scattered over the grain grow
ing section.
West of the Missouri river the crol
is just as fine looking as it is east
and the wild hay crop will be about
the heaviest ever harvested, and il
stron gcontrast to the crop in the
more western counties last year
whether thistles or anything green
| was looked upon as life-saver 70
| many cattle, while this year th'
whole country is coverey with a bi;
hay crop.
