\ Wonderful Orchard.


 Directly in front of us lay m old fashioned orchard. of the kind which I had thought was found only in fiction. Here were great gnarIed trees, at least fifty of them. with sturdy branches. some poinS- ing straight upward. others stretch- Ing horizontally as if to invite chiI- dren to fasten swings To them, still others curving fantastically. They were evidently just ready to burst into bloom. for there was q rose tint covering them. which upon closer inspection proved to be the exquisite ly tinted edges of the unfolding buds.
 The ground underneath tho trees was badly cut up and trampled. but tho grass was beginning to cover its unsightliness.
 They lot the pigs in here" Mrs. Ticer explained. and they rooted up tho ground. Oh. them foreigners is something awful when they rent q place They rob land putting com mcrcial fertilizer on it for their po- tdtoes. and thcT lot their animals nnd chickens run all over. But when they get money enough to buy places Of their own--do they splurgc thcn? Well. I guess '''

Doc roNnr'o~. the Cleveland

He came up for Duster Mails

against Walter Johnson.
By the time Doc Johnston came

The first thing that. struck visitors
yesterday was the martial air of the
camp. Two State troopers, resplend-
ent IN drab uniforms, belts bristling
with cartridges and guns on the hip,
leaned on the old front gate while
their mounts grazed by the roadside.
The gate was padlocked and swung
open only when the proper credentials
were presented to the tender.
1t was Chicago day at Carpenters
Long Island chateau. And those Chi
cago boys certainly stand well with
Georges, for he boxed five fast rounds
with three sparring partners and got
up a good sweat-which Is something
more than he did for the strictly New
York press delegation last Thursday.
Signor Ricardo Curley, once. fig
ure in Gotham boxing circles, but now
a promoter and matchmaker in Chi
cago. conveyed a flock OF Windy City
sporting editors to Manhasset. There
were a few others there from San
Francisco and New York. but they
boasted OF no guides.

was also a member of the Curley
party of tourists. Mr.. White is visit
ing New York on his honeymoon.
"The boy Is clever" he said after
the show, "but / don't see how he
can upset Dempsey. He's a good
little man, but Jack is a good big
man"
KEPT ON THIN SHIRT.
DR.. Roller, the wrestler, was an,
other post-time arrival. The doctor
found Carpenter an interesting
study as a physical specimen. snd
remained for talk with him after
the other spectators had vanished.

tier did not remove his thin, sleeve

baseball circles in West Virginia
has been established by Harry

has struck out 103 men. He has

The general conversation drifted TO
his chances of winning from Demp-
sey. He said:
What do you think of the betting
on the Tight, Mr.. Corbett7'
We'll" replied, ITS two to one or
better in Dempsey's favor now. ac-
cording to what I hear

But surely" he came back. that
can make no difference in the nsht
itself. The odds can have nothing to
do with what Dempsey or will show
in the ring"
agree with him that the, odds
should have no effect on the fight pro-
vided the fighters themselves refused
to consider them one way or another.

heavyweight champions of the past,
Carpenter continued. 'I find that
about eight out of ten favorites havs
been beaten. Your fight with Sullivan
was one instance. What were tbs

And you. in turn. was favorite over
Fitzsimmons?"
That's right" I answered.
And Fitz In his turn was a favorite
over Jeffries and Johnson was the
favorite over willard at least up TO
the last few hours before the fight,
efter most of the big bets had been
placed"
Then there is one outstanding In
stance where the challenger went
into the ring the favorite" Georges
said, .'and that was in the Toledo
fight when Dempsey was generally
picked to defeat Willard"
That was the one big instance" !
answered. "Of course there have been
other cases but they are not worth
while recalling"
DO you know" Carpenter said
with a smile, II wish Dempsey was

would get better odds. / would like
to see them get all they can. The
fact that Mons Dempsey is favorite
makes no difference to me. II was
favored to win It would be the same"

The fight is the fight and the best
man Will win It regardless OF the
odds The fact that am smaller than

Small men have won just as often as
the larger ones. Am not rightT'
That's quite true" said /. II was

his heavy conditioning in earnest
while everybody is excluded except
