By Jack VIeock,

international News Sporting Editor
New York, Feb. 22.-Boy Nc
Cormick, who recently made his
bow to Gotham boxing fans when
he won a decision over Johnny
Howard, looks like a boxer OF
parts.
Billy Gibson, manager of Benny
Leonard, is handling the happygo-
lucky Irishman with the frey red
hatch and Gibby predicts that his
protege will punch his way to fame
and perhaps a title.
Mccormick made hit rourd
these diggins by his cleverness and
his sunny disposition. He wears
flat nose and sunny smile and he
goes about the business of boxing
as though he gets lot of fun out
OF it. He handles himself naturally,
too, and is extremely fast as
boxer of his weight, 165 pounds.
Mccormick claims the middle
and light heavyweight titles of Eng
land, but he is not satisfied to stop
at that. He is after the crown worn
bv Johnny Wilson and says he can
make the middleweight limit.
Boy has fought most of his bouts
in the west since coming to this
country several years ago and out
there they think well of his ability.
Mccormick is twenty-one years old
Mccormick is 21 years old. He
was born in Calcutta. India, in 1899
which makes him just of voting
age. His real name is Noel Nc
Cormick. but he changed his mon
iker to boy" when he entered the
fight game.
The sorrel topped young man has
had over 100 fights since he enter
ed competition. He won the light
heavyweight title of Great Britain
by whipping Harold Rolph.
Last year he had thirteen scraps
on the coast and won twelve de-
cisions. He fought ten round
draw with Tom Gibbons in Port
land on his way east. In San Fran
cisco he whipped Gunner Smith
and Jack Reeves, and in Portland
beat Captain Bob Roper, Frank
Farmer, Spider Murphy. He went
back TO England for a short stap.
Upon his return he gave Silent
Martin lacing and trimmed Willie
Meehan. While in Portland he de-
feated Battling Levinsky on a foul
in seven rounds.
One of our readers wants to
know about the longest fights on
record. Here is the list:
The longest glove fight on record
was that between Andy Bowen ana
lack Burke at New Orleans April
D, 1893. The pair went 11O rounds
TO a draw. The fight occupied z
hours and minutes. The same
year Bowen beat Jack Everhardt

Senate Approves
Lake Land Bill

Only seven members of the SEN
ate went on record as opposed to
legislation whereby the state
should declare its title to lake bed
lands when the Bennett bill was up
for consideration in the senate this
morning.
The bill came in on a divided re-
port from the judiciary committee
the majority of which was stacked
against the bill. Senators Vinton,
Hare and Jones saved the bill to-
consideration on the floor by in
Producing a minority report favor
able to the bill and which was
adopted by the senate this morning
by n vote of 23 to seven, placing
the bill on the calendar for third
reading and final passage.
Senator Vinton in speaking for
the minority report declared that
the bill was designed to protect
and secure for the$state's school
fund the title to thousands of acres
cf land now covered by water and
which, in the event of the recess
sion of those waters would be
worth approximately two million
dollars.
To Senator Lachmund of Mar
ion county goes the distinction of
fathering the only new bill to be
introduced in the upper house on
the final day of the session.
Lachmund's bill provides that
the state board OF control may ex-
change certain state land for other
lands adjourning state property.
Through suspension of the rules
the bill was put through to final
passage and had been sent over
to the house in less than four min
utes from the first reading.

Lloganberry Is
Given Boost by
B. Cunningham,

Loganberry growing is placed
-tn the class of highly profitable
~enterprises by at least one success
-ful farmer. Bruce Cunningham,
n7ne of the heaviest planters of the
Salem district, last year cleared up
$4,000 on As acres of the berries.

Mortune on their future In that he
Al expecting to plant 60 acres
more to berries this year.
The fine points of their success
Mul culture and management were
r3iscussed in an address at Corval-
ms to the students in farm man
segment who are studying the rel
zhtive profits Of Oregon farm en-
Nerprises. Loganberries are sure
srroppers in the opinion of Mr..
cunningham. For this reason his
preference is placed with the ber-
;Kies rather than prunes which had
neen his specially for many years.
Some of the points on starting
~ loganberry enterprise emphasiz-
nj by the speaker follow:
Do not let the plant have "wet
feet."
Plant in well drained soil -
north slope is preferred
Do not set out wilted, sickly or
weak plants.
Take only main vine tips, not
secondary ones.
Leave young plants attached to
old plants as long as possible.
Do not set too close together.
He suggests eight by eight.
Do not thin the new shoots from |
a plant to any certain number, but
allow all vigorous ones to grow
Be sure to set young plants deep
ssnough, five or six inches.
Fog young vines down in June
I'm four hands"
Leave them pegged down until
she old plants are out.
Out the old vine at or under
Khe surface of the ground twice
"a week il possible.
Haul and ship the berries the
asame day they are picked.
Use some kind Of fertilizer. He
ssses nitrate.
Mr.. Cunningham believes that |
ehe greatest cost in establishing a
goganberry field outside of the
Time and labor required to bring
x.he vines to production. is that
.yf the posts and wire for the trel-
Nfa on which the vines are trained,
Fsut feels that anyone who puts in
"a lot of good hard work will be
well repaid In the end sfor all his
eafforts He is also of the opinion
1hat loganberry growing may be
Nsasily fitted into a diversified
Farm or be handled as a specializ-
aed enterprise.
