BARONS TO CLOSE LOOKOUT SERIES IN A TWIN BILL
Barons Have Taken First Game And DoubIe- Header
 Ends Series

After copping the opening game of the series from the Look the Barons stand ready to face the Chat tanoogans in double header at Redwood Saturday. The first game will begin at 2:15 o'clock.
 The twin bill with the Lookouts is one regularly scheduled. Three games were billed for the two-day stay of the 'Noogans here, which ne- cessitated the playing of two-timer Saturday.
 Under the leadership of Stuffy Stewart, new manager of the Barons, the Magic City pastimers have been going like a house afire, and have won nine games out of their 13 since Stewart took charge. Random IS watching the progress of the Barons with interest since rejuvenation of Stewards men, and Saturdays dou- ble header should draw forth a great crowd.
 Phil Morrison or Red Bates. the only two right handlers on the pitch ing force, will probably draw the opening assignment against the Lookouts Saturday, with Roy Moore. latest southpaw acquisition, doing the hurling in the second.
 The Barons have won three con- secutive series at Redwood since re- turning home from that disastrous trip to Atlanta, and should they break even in today's double header which is decidedly more than prob able-they will run their string up to four straight series since Stew art took charge.

GIBBONS HAS NOT
 TAKEN COUNT IN 10 YEARS BOXING
Tommy Will Meet Dempsey With Record Of Never Be-
 ina Knocked Down

ST. PAUL, June 22.- (By Associ- ated Press.)-When Tommy Gibpons of St. Paul enters the ring at Sheipy, Mont, July 1. to meet Jack Dempsey in 15-round decision contest, ne will carry with him rare boast Tor a fighter of his experience-he mas never been knocked off his feet.
 In 10 years of his professional ca reer, the St. Paul challenger mas successfully withstood all efforts to knock him out, or even down, while he, in turn has counted 50 knock outs in his last 34 bouts.
 It was back in 1913 that Tommy counted his first knockout, flooring Johnny Shaw in the third round.
 For several years Gibbons was merely successful boxer, and it was not until 1921 that he began to show punch that sent opponent after opponent down for the count. It was the start of his successful match toward a championship bout. Twenty KnOckOuts.
 Gibbons won 20 straight contests via the knockout route, then was outpointed by Harry Greb in 15- round bout in New York. in March 1922. which went to Greb on the ref eree's decision and with it the light heavyweight title Gibbons was striv- ing for.
 In the list of knockouts that pre- ceded the Greb affair, there were such names as Al Reich. Tony Mel cher, Clay Turner, Jack Herman, Willie Meehan and others who last ed less than one round. Paul Samp- son. Jack Clifford and others suc- cumbed to his driving punch in 8 few rounds.
 Since the Greb bout. Gibbons has come along again with more knock outs and decision victories. In his last encounter he met Chuck Wig gins, no mean portion in the light heavy division. and Gibbons floored him six times before the referee stopped it in the tenth round.
 Financial reward, at least imme- diate had little to do with Gibbons eagerness in singing with Dempsey The title bout has been his ambi- tion for three years, and before he comes into the money at Shelby, the paid attendance will have to climb beyond the $300.000 mark. For his end. Dempsey is assured of S300.000, regardless of the attendance

GIBBONS FACE IS CUT IN WORKOUT
 BY UM DELANEY

SHELBY, Mont, June 22-(By As sociated Press)-The partially healed old sores on Tommy Gib- bons' lower lip were split open today and the challengers mouth was bleeding when he ended his workout. Jimmy Delaney walltped Gibbons in the face. as they came out of a clinch and the sores which kept Gibbons from working out Wednesday were opened.
 Gibbons was not bothered by the bleeding today and continued his sparring. He declared later that the sores would be entirely healed within a few days and probably would not be tender next week.
 Delany's work against Gibbons this afternoon seemed to emphasize the challengers foot work, his feint- ing ability and the strength of his quick left. He snapped the St. Paul fighters head back several times with a left hook and drove right across to the body repeatedly.

Dixie's golfing world Is pay ing tribute this morning to little Bobby Baugh, youthful wor- shipper at the shrine of the great royal and ancient pastime. In his defeat at Roebuck Friday, glory of a victor, for his battle was such a gallant one, his stand so courageous that his worth was recognized at once as that of a champion.
 Bobby Baugh, although he has been on and off his game throughout the tournament--like the Aurora Borealis that flashes across the northern skies, then fades away, only to flash back again-made a great bid for top honors, and fell by the wayside only before the prowess of that sure shooting veteran, Perry Adair. the Atlantan. who has won his way right on through to the finals, and is picked. probably. by more than half the field of dopesters to win the title in the finals with Frank Godchaux this morning.
 When one considers that Bobby Baugh pitted his few years Of golfing experience against field that was composed of some of the greatest stars the game below the Mason and Dixon line line has known. his true ability must be recognized, and to him goes the glory of victor. though defeated by the experi- enced veteran from Atlanta, Perry Adair.
 4. ,n.vs<ohIe Inxy of the links seems to he that the veterans ni- ways win out nt last. The youngsters flash like meteOrS ncross the horizon early in journeys. only to fade away as the affair progresses, until only the usual steady stars, thnt twinkle day in and day out, are the ones left to fight 1t out for the championship.
 It has been great week for Birmingham's golfing world. All Dixie has turned its attention to the Magic City, as three big golf tournaments have been run off in rapid succession.
 Last Saturday the Alabama Georgia open championship was decided, going to Dan Goss, Birmingham professional.
 Tuesday, the southern amateur meet began, and will wind up today, with either the Atlantan or Nashvillian returned the win ner.
 Friday, the Country clubs in vitation tournament, which drew field of 100 entrants and which has been in progress for three days, was won by David Rob erts, Jr., Magic City past timer.
 The feeling of the step-child upon the arrival of . brand- new baby mt somebody's house must have filled the breasts of those bloOd-thirsty BarOns dur- ing the week. King Golf has held absolute sway over the sport pnges for . week, but will

sink bnck into his little province i'm a few days more, and the nb- dicatcd rulcr-OId Man BnsebnII will slip back into the throne he occupies six months out of every year.
 Railbirds have beard the cry of Wolf! Wolf" much too often to go off into any wild orgy of celebration over the recent suc- cesses of the Barons, but it must be admitted that the showing of those rejuvenated Magic City pastimers is of such calibre that one must begin to take them seriously.
 For years. 1t has been the hab- 1t of the Barons to spurt along about June or July and fill every ones breast with hope. then let their sprint peter out into a com mon, everyday walk. Such things used to thrill, now they almost merely interest.
 Nevertheless, Stuffy Stewart has 'em up in the air, and those fans are swearing by him as faithfully as a bootlegger by pro- hibition. Stewart goes about his business of winning ball games in such a confident. easy man. ner that he can't fail to inn press. Furthermore, Stuffy has a style of play that is playing havoc with foes of the Barons these days. That aggressive, dar- ing style of game is to baseball what the forward pass Is to foot ball. an extremely dangerous weapon in the hands of a mas ter-and Stuffy Stewart has shown the earmarks of being q mi 0 C n ha l. he has been in charge.
 The passing of Plateau Cox to the bushes-Or little better-fs m incident thnt casts a shadow over the career of the rcd head- cd twirler. A year or so ago Cox, who is still young fellow. showed worlds of promise, and 1t was thought that he would be one of the games stsS-s.
 Then someone took charge of him. made him change his style of pitching. md today we see him riding the cinder spreadcrs to n bush league berth.
 Cox could never get going with the BarOns. and his release was expected. There arc now five BarOninl pitchers in camp, three south paws E,nd two right hand- CTS. When the newly created va- vacancy Is filled, fandOm will he interested whether Manager Stewart will try to buck fate and add another right haner, or whether he will take n chance md attempt to find . fourth winning southpaw.

Hagen Says He Won't Compete In England

NEW YORK, June 22.-Walter Ha- gen. star American golfer. arriving from England today on the steam ship Berengaria, accused British golfers of poor sportsmanship and declared he never again would com pete in a British tournament.
 Open unsportsmanlike tactics adopted by officials and the gallery at the British open golf champion ship tournament at Troon have caused Walter Hagen to resolve new CT again to play in England unless he is assured of better treatment, he declared today on his arrival on the Berengaria. "They wanted to win so badly that they acted like bad sports" said Hagen. who failed by one stroke to retain the British open title. which he won last year.

SHORT PEGS

The I1ope Is a low character and not to be trusted with a dime of any mans money as far as you can see him through brick wall. Not withstanding his many failures of the past. he was permitted again this year to name the order in which the American league teams would run. He brewed 8 broth of figures and rated them thus: l. Yankees; 2. Tigers; 8. White Sox; {. Browns; Athletics; 6. Indians; 2, Senators; 8, Red Sox.
 But baseball predictions. more than any other kind. must be cop pered, discounted and underwritten, and even then had better be thrown away. The Yankees were figured" tt' beat the Giants in last years world series and they lost four in row; the Dodgers were sure to win from the Indians In 1920 because Brooklyn had all the pitchers. and they lost without much of a fight.

Interesting Data
From Crop Report

A recent number of the Wisconsin
crop reporter gives some interesting
data on climatic conditions in this
state the present summer. Region A,
the extreme northern part of the
state, suffered little from drought and
crops are good. Region B, taking ir
central Wisconsin and Green, Rock,
Dodge, Dane and Jefferson counties,
had more drouth conditions but crops
are generally good. Region c, COM
prising southwestern Wisconsin, in
Guiding Grant county, was seriously
affected. Hay is 60 percent Of full
crop. Corn prospects good, small
grain fair and pastures poor. Region
d, comprising lower lake shore coun-
ties, was somewhat less affected by
drouth than region D.
The state at large forecast on corn
calls for a 80 percent crop. Forecast
is 80 million bushels, or six million
more than the August forecast year
ago.
The Wisconsin potato crop drops to
67 percent of last year. The crop was
reduced II percent and the yield per
acre will be less. Potato prices will
be fair this year compared to very
poor last year.
Hay crop is Y percent of last year.
Oats is forecasted at 81 million bush
els, or 10 percent under last year.
For coasts on barley, rye and wheat
are less than last year.

The number of 40 pound cows this

that none of the members in the ass0-

TWO GAMES
OF FAST BALL
DURING FAIR
Dubuque, Madison and
Dodge's Red Sox to
Cross Bats Here

Arrangements have been completed
for some of the greatest baseball that
has ever been seen in this section, at
the Grant County Fair.
On Sept. 18th, the Dubuque Missis-
sippi Valley League Team are booked
up with the Madison Blues, who re-
Gently defeated the Union Giants in
three straight games.
On Sept. 14th, Dubuque will play
Jimmy Dodges Twin City Red Sox,
who have been making a record in
Wisconsin this season.
During this series there will be
seen in action ten men who at one
time have played on Lancaster teams
and Lancaster fans are of the opinion
that if this team could play together
they would easily defeat any team in
this part of the country. This team
would line up as follows:
Montgomery, catcher, Madison; De
laney, pitcher, Dubuque; Dodge,
pitcher, Twin City; Schultz, frs
base, Twin City; Minardo, second
base, Twin City; Armstrong, Dubu-
que, short stop; Elliott, third base,
Madison; Powell, center field, Madi-
son; Hyde, left field, Dubuque; Mig
bur, right field, Twin City.
Efforts will be made at a later date
to get this team together and issue a
challenge for the championship of the
Tri-States.
The Fair association has arranged
for the seating of 1900 people at these
ball games.
The games will start at 1890 p. m.
There will be boWery dances on
Thursday and Friday evenings also.

GRANT COUNTY
WINS CUP FOR
BEST EXHIBIT
Southwestern Wisconsin
for First Timei is Farm
Crop Champion

Products of the soil of real Grant
county type and class along with a
good deal of hard labor resulted in
Grant county 1.-THE California of Wis
consin" bringing home the Blue Ban
ner and the Silver cup. What does it
mean? First place out of the II
counties of the state. Although all
counties do not show we still can
claim this, for the non-competitor is
always admitting his defeat in the
fact that he is not there.
Out of the possible $3.50 points
Grant county scored 1889, while the
nearest contender for first place made
scored 2,522.2 points. Grant came
with 81 points of scoring a perfect
score. Leading as you will notice,
the nearest contender by a margin of
CO.'S points.
Entrance requirements in the cOun-
ty crops competition are so exacting
that only 16 counties competed this
year. Second place went to Sank
county and third to Waukesha. The
judges Of the county exhibits said the
display this year was the best in their
II years of judging this feature and
that low place winners among the
competing counties had exhibits that
would have taken the prize at any of
the preceding fairs.
From seventh to first place was
what Grant county had to aim at
Last year the county ranked seventh
in the list.
SurpasSes Northern Counties.
Ever since the county exhibit fea
ture was established at the State fair,
northern counties have been taking
first place and the Journal cup with
regularity. The highest score ever
made by a county all goes to show
that nothing is too hard for Grant
county to do, if they but set out to do
it.
All counties competing were award
ed variously colored banners in token
of their good work in displaying farm
crops and the advantages that Wis
consin offers for diversified farming.
In addition to Grant, Sank and Wau
kesha counties, the others competing
were placed as follows: La Crosse,
Taylor, Shawano, Jackson, Wood, ST.
Croix, Price, Marathon, Milwaukee,
Jefferson, Rock, Juneau and Vernon.
Before the Journal cup was pre-
scented to j. B. keenan,, who was in
charge Of the Grant county exhibit
and who accepted the token in behalf
of the county, George M. Briggs OF
Madison, manager of the farm crop
exhibits at the fair, spoke. He con-
graduated Grant county on its show
ing and all of the other counties COM
peting.
A complete write up of other win
nings of Grant county will appear
later.
The exhibit will be on display al
the Grant County Fair at Lancaster,
however it will not be as complete.
Ralph Irwin won first premium on
his apple exhibit at the State Fair last
week. Mr.. Twins premium money
on apples alone amounted to $11O.99.

Boy Admits Attempt
To Attack 4 Girls

Joseph Kosidowski, II, captured
last Wednesday night in Milwaukee.
after a chase of six blocks, during
which Patrolman Herbert Doege
emptied his revolver at the fleeing
youth, Thursday he admitted he had
attempted to attack four young
women on the East side in the last
two months.
The patrolman heard scream and
saw Kosidowski attempting to drag a
girl, 16, into an alley between jack
son and Van Buren, streets. When
the youth saw the patrolman he
threw the girl to the pavement and
ran.
After a severe grilling he admitted
that he had been molesting girls IN
the vicinity of Knapp and Van Buren,
streets for several months and that
he had attempted to attack four girls.
