However, the Islanders are

New York, May 13.-These Jer-

kick up fuss. Following the an
nouncement that Frank Flournoy
of the Madison Square Garden COM
pany had signed up Benny Leonard
and Jack Britton for a battle eth
er at the New York VeIodrome.
now in process Of construction, or
in New Jersey, on June /, ]. Frank
Black, who controls fighting in the
Jersey City armory, comes to the
bat with loud howl.
Black says he still holds Jack
Britton's contract for a match with
Leonard in August of last year at
Harrison field. He also holds q
telegram from Billy Gibson, Leon
ards manager, sent three DAYS
after the Leonard-Kansas match at
Harrison last year, to go ahead
with arrangements.
Everything was set for the fight,
says Black, when the jersey box
ing authorities advised Black that
the fight was not on the level and
could not be pulled. So ask Black,
if the fight was not on the level
then, why is it on the level now
Black says that Velodrome stuff
is all stall and that at the proper
time it will be announced that the
new structure cannot be finished
by June l. and that, therefore. the
battle will go to Boyle's Thirty
Acres. Will it? Well, Black is
going to see about that. Just now
he is at work on a circular letter
which will advise sporting editors
as to what certain men high nm
said about the match three months
ago.
The holding that Lewis and Car
pentler did in their battle is the
very thing that is held by English
critics as seriously injuring the
sport of boxing in England All

Valuable data on the growing OF
tomatoes under glass have been OBJ
tanned from an experiment just COM
pleted at the X. 8. A. G. greenhouses.
The tomatoes were planted In four
plots and each plot was pruned DIFF
ferently.
The first plot was pruned to one
stalk. The fruit on these plants set
earlier; it was more uniform and
larger, and this plot ranked first in
weight yield. In the second division
which was pruned to two stalks, the
fruit set later and was not so even,
and the weight yield was somewhat
less than in the first plot.
The third and fourth divisions
were pruned to three and four stalks,
respectively. Such pruning proved
impractical, resulting in excessive
leaf growth and small weight yield,
according to w. B. Balch, who was
in charge Of these experiments.
