There was a time in the dim,

cut via the cradle route and was

from one chute into wagon along

at the rear and is strewn across the
field as the machine progresses.
The capacity Of the machine is
said to be 500 bushels day and is

The text of his letter follows:

"You have not yet given the Amer-

the terms of the Harding association
that you propose shall supplant the
Wilson league. Has not the time
come, ! respectfully ask, for you to
do this. Surely you cannot expect the
forty-eight members of the present
league to scrap it and come into your
association unless two things are
perfectly clear:
First, that the new association is
substantially as good or better than
the existing league, and,
Second, that this time pro- Nosal
of a president of the United States
will have the permanent and over
whelmiilg support Of the American

 TRAIL OF PRINCE
Local Battler Anxious to Defend Claims to Nutmeg
 Championship

Fresh from numerous ring con- tests in the Bay State circuit, Young O'Leary, Bridgeport's clever feather weight, is back home again. The To- cal boy has been absent from the old home burg for about six months, dur ing which time he met and defeated some of the fastest boys in his class in the Hub district, among them be- ing Billy Campbell, the Worcester boy.
 O'Leary returns to the freside in a defiant mood by hur1ing a def to all
 aspiring feathers in the Nutmeg sport
 realm. t'I am willing to fight any
 112-pound boy in the state,'' he said
 yesterday.
 O'Leary is particularly anxious to get another crack at Billy Prince, his sturdy rival for the state titular title O'Leary and Prince c1ashed in great battle here last Labor day, and many ringside experts were inclined to give O'Leary the verdict.
 Local ring fans would like noth- ing better than to see another battle between this pair of ring wizards, and | as the game is in a. dormant state 1 just now, there's a chance for some 1 llale and revive the sport with Prince and O'Leary one of the attractions Dan O'Leafy is officiating in the 1 role as, manager for his brother, an6 l as he said yesterday he is open to l receive offers to all corners for state
 titular honoEs. He can be reached al 1 ASA Brooks street.
 Young OLear has a host of ad 1 mirers in the Park City who ar,
 unanim ous in declaring that he is the peer of featherweight boxers in tht Nutmeg State and is entitled to clain l thes tatee title. Princes friends ar, | equally as loyal and both sides arr shouting for a setto between the pal to settle the issue
