Byers is an interesting story tell

round the emerald hued table and
he told a few facts that have taken
place during his career. Starting
into the game at the same tint that
many of the country's best billiard
lists got under way. he had little
hopes Of starring with the stick and
worries. His profession as he knew
il then was prize lighting and he
told the crowd that when Meehan.
Dempsey and many more of the

APPARENTLY he was no mean fighter.
In his record he holds a X. o. over
Md Kennedy who at one time was
believed TO be a far better NIT sling

Byers had his hands injured many
times, and displayed a broken bone
in each wrist as the result of his

Dropkick Wins Came
For ELkhdrt Scouts

Football fans that braved the
rains OF Sunday afternoon were
treated TO a stellar football exhibit
tion at Leeper park gridiron
when the fast Elkhart Scouts, the
premier lightweight aggregation
from the railroad camp, defeated
the South Bend Tigers by a to 0
score.
The game early developed into a
fast clean fray with every tackle a
hard one and every gain we'll de-
lserved. 1t seemed impossible for
either eleven to get within striking
distance of the goal line.
Capt. Fred Wambaugh sewed up
the fray for his cohorts in the first
quarter when he booted a pretty
dropklck squarely between the Tiger
goal posts. Wampaugh is an ali
state half back and was the cut
standing star Of the game.

BUCK SHAW RATED
AS ALL-AMERICAN
TIMBER THIS YEAR
NOtre DANES Stellar Tackle
Has Made Opposition Look
Very Weak.

The attention Of Walter Camp,
Eckersall. and Co, is hereby direct
ed TO the performance Of one Buck
Shaw. star right tackle or Rockne's
football team. Shaw's remarkable
playing at Iowa and Nebraska put
him in line for All-Western honors:
his work at Indiana demands some
thing greater, for il was nothing
less than AlI-American.
For three seasons Shaw has been
playing a mighty role in the Irish"
victories. He has been more diff
cult for opposing teams to penetrate
than any other member of the Gold
and Blue squad he has never been
given the notoriety which he de-
serves, because he is one of the most
modest men who ever dOnned in a
uniform. Buck is no grandstand
man.
His work is done effectively. but
so easily and artfully that the aver
age spectator thinks it only ordin-
airy. In other words. Shaw's playing
is unusually so far superior TO that
of his opponent that a spectator is
more likely to attribute it TO weak
ness on the part of the opponent
than strength on the part of Shaw.
In Hard Luck
There are other reasons, howev-
er, for the lack of publicity which
has heretofore been given this ster-
ling performer. Last season he was
forced to play mate to Frank
Coughlin, e. star in western football
and captain of the NOtre Dame
team. Naturally whenever tackles
were mentioned, the captain of the
team was given the publicity. And
| this fall Shaw has been playing OPP
posite to Carvey, and Garvey is one
| of the most sensational football
| tackles in the game. Shaw's work
/ has been so consistently brilliant
! however, that he has ben forced to
( the top, and throughout this section
! of the country, football followers
are expecting him to be placed or
! Eckersalls all-western, and probably
/ Camps all-AmeriIan team.
There is no doubt that he deserves
/ it. In the four hard games which
\ the 1IlSu nave alL So'uS P4"SO - -
than twenty yards have been made
| through Shaw's position.
In the Iowa game. he broke
! through to down the great Aubrey
Devine for nine yard losses on three
| occasions. During the Nebraska
game. he frequently went down after
punts to tackle the receiver before
/ either Eddie Anderson or KiIey
could arrive on the scene. and both
Anderson and Kiley are reckoned
among the fastest ends in the whole
country. If Buck can maintain this
standard Of playing next Saturday
, there is no doubt that Camp will
again have Notre Dame player on
/ His AlI-American team.

Thirty BUSHELS ON
1850 ACRES WHEAT
PROBABLY BEST YIELD ON THAT
SIZE FARM MADE IN THE
COUNTY THIS YEAR.

(From Saturdays Daily HeraldD.
Thirty bushels to the acre ON a
100 acre field is probably the best
yield of wheat in the county so far,
acreage considered. This was the
yield made by Horace /. Cecil ON one
of the finest farms in the county and
located in the Mt. Pleasant section.
There have been better yields per
acre reported this year than that made
by Mr.. Cecil, but they were for
much smaller acreage. The yield on
this farm was 1880 bushels which at
s1.25 a bushel gave gross return to
the owner of $4,000. 1t was all strict
ly No. 2 wheat and most of it tested
sixty pounds to the bushel which is
considered extraordinarily good. The
highest yield so far reported in the
county this year was made by Carl
Gilbreath, of the sixth district, who
made over thirty.eight bushels to the
acre, but it was on about thirty acres.

(From Saturdays Daily Herald)

(From Saturdays Daily Herald.
During the week ending today the
corn and clover crops of the county
have suffered greatly from the exces.
sive heat and drought. In some sec.
tions of the county corn is dying in
the tassel and without a good general
rain within the next few days the
damage to corn will be enormous in
the county. e.
A greater part of the wheat and oat
crop has been threshed in the county
and has been saved under almost
ideal conditions The general wheat
yield for the county has been good.
Pastures are drying up IN many sec.
tons and dairy cattle are suffering
for the want of water and pasturage.
The flow of milk has shown big de-
crease during the present week. Farm
ers are coming more and more to the
realization of the need of ensilage for
summer 1eedlng.
Although many farmers have indi.
Gated that they intend to sow clover,
very little ground has been broken up
until this time on account OF the hot
dry weather.
Taken as a whole the weather of the
past week has caused more damage
to the cropssof the county than has
been done In similar period in years.
Agricultural authorities declare the
best remedy for corn in dry weather
is to KEEP the ground at the roots stir
red as often as possible. 1t should
be intensively cultivated when there
is no rain.
The hay crop of the county shows
substantial decrease under that of last
year.
