Wilson Expects to Finish
Former Champ with Kayo
Title Holder Says He Will Stop O'Dowd and
Will Have no Excuses if He is Toppled
From His Throne

until he was sure he had fully re-
covered from an illness that befell
him shortly after he earned the
title. When satisfied he was in con-
dition and ready he jumped at the
chance of giving the former title
holder a return engagement.
O'Dowd. who has been crying
wolf" ever since his championship
passed to Wilson on a referees de-
cision. will have no trouble making
the weight. which Is to be 1so
pounds at o'clock Thursday after
noon. Mike satisfied himself Of this
point IN private at Grupp's yester-
workout. The former champion
boxed twelve regulation rounds with
Harry Wills, Clay Turner and Marty
Deegan.
Rickard has carded two ten-round
attractions of merit to precede the
championship number st. Patrick's
night. Joe Benjamin. the Califor-
light weight. Will box George Erne,
of Buffalo. and Eddie German, an
other native son, will meet Earl
Baird. of Seattle.
If early sales may be accepted as
a criterion the middle-weight cham
pionship battle Is likely to ap-
proach the record attendance for
Madison Square Garden. Not since
the willard-Norsn fight. of which
this will be the fourth anniversary,
has there been such a first-day rush.
A line two blocks long was in wait
ing for the opening of the sales at
. o'clock yesterday morning. 1t
looks like an early sell out.

yesterday to post with Tex Rickard
the articles of agreement the cham
ptoi signed last week. as well as
Wilson's forfeit for weight and ap-

looks fine. He's got about ten
pounds more than he had when the
season closed last year. and believes
he can carry II well. He didn't do
much. except chase bunts with
Brewer and warm up gently. Court
ing a few, the first time he has
done anything like this except one
or two yesterday.
While Il probably is> manifestly
unfair to compare them right now.
1t Is not out of the rights of the
times to speculate on the only
chance for a. rookie to break into

That's at third base. Ellerbe is
slamming the apple. but Foss 10 do
ing likewise. Right now both look

Meanwhile O'Rourke. Harris and
Judge are playing the same old

performs like 1t Is going right now.

Runaway Traced Through Wheel Chair

They became inseparable companions,
with Evelyn propelling the wheel chair
at perious rate at times.
With war work over Elliott few
months ago began to think of return
ing to the Calvert county farmland.
so too, did Miss Evelyn begin to think
of the farm with seriousness unsur-
passed by her parents. She and
Edna discussed at length the advan-
tage of movies and street cars and
electric lights and city conveniences.
and decided that to keep Evelyn from
the farm both would make break for
the big city.
SO they TAXED to the Pennsylvania
station In Baltimore in the wheel
chair and s+arted their trip, after
checking the chair. A few hours later
Edna's father got on the track of the
wheel chair and went TO the railroad
station. The rest was easy-a call
from the Baltimore police arranged
reception for the girls here by the po=
lice and the Travellers Aid society.

Persons bureau says there's a mora
in the story. Leave the wheel chair

The leading vegetable crops are ca~-
taloupes, cabbage, cucumbers, toma-
toes, lettuce, celery, onions, beans and
sweet corn. In the production of can
taloupes Colorado ranks second among
the states, being surpassed only by
California. Cantaloupes are raised
here both for market and for seed, this
state producing larger proportion of
the annual seed output of the United
Stat, than any other. Reports of
county assessors to the State Immigra-
tion Department show that approxi-
mately 1000 acres of eantaloupes We're
grown in the state this year, of which
about 1000 acres were grown for seed.
