CROP REPORT

There has been a decided change
| in weather conditions throughout the
Northwest during the past week, ac-
cording to the weekly crop report
issued by the Van Dusen Harrington
company of Minneapolis. On several
days the temperatures ranged from
80 to 100 degrees, with high winds
IN some localities. The warm wealth
er is more favorable for the growth
Of the grain crops, especially corn.
The usual red rust is reported in
some fields, but this is found each
year and is not the black rust va
riety that causes so much damage.
The conditions have been very
favorable for the filling of rye. In
PAGES the plant is five feet high,
with large heads and we'll filled. in
the southern districts some fields
have started to ripen.
Barley and oats in the southern
half of this territory are heading.
The conditions up to this time have
been very favorable. Providing no
adverse conditions develop we antic-
ipate very good yields OF both barley
and oats.
Spring wheat is heading in the
southern districts. In the north some
VI IuC earlier SOWu iIcluS VIII DekIu
to head soon. The northwestern
wheat crop as whole looks very
promising at this time. Certain con-
ditions might arise, however, between
now and maturity to affect the yield.
The most to be feared are the hot
winds or black rust.
Corn, which has been from two to
three weeks late, has made very good
progress during the past ten days,
especially in South Dakota and south
ern Minnesota. With a continuation
of the present weather considerable
percentage will probably stand from
10 to Ii inches high by the 4th of
July, although there will be 0cca-
sional fields that will not be over
five inches high. There are still
prospects for very fair corn crop,
providing the weather is favorable.
In southern South Dakota farmers
have suffered some severe losses in
corn because of cut worms and
pheasants. These birds, which have
been protected, have multiplied so
rapidly that they bave become nui-
sanee in places and have dug u the
seed to such an extent that replant-
ing was necessary.
The rrogress of the flax crop has
been very satisfactory the past week
The earlier sOwn fields generally
have strong, healthy growth, but
in some instances flax on old ground
is becoming quite weedy.

MAULER PLANS
new STUFF IN
SHARKEY MIX
Dempsey Alters Tactics TO
Administer More Cl0se-in
Punches-Impr0ving

Saratoga Lake, N. Y, July G.-F
An old dog will try new tricks
when Jack Dempsey fights Jack
Sharkey in the Yankee Stadium.
Despite the contention of handlers
that the former champion is merely
reverting in fighting style to the
earliest period Of his ring career,
Dempsey apparently intends to show
the fight fans something new in his
attack on the big Boston sailor boy
July 81.
During the first half dozen work.
outs here Jack sought to regain the
weaving prowess of titular days that
made him shifty target, bobbing
twofisted battering ram, ever elu-
sive and always on the attack. But
something was wrong with the old
system.
Old Style Not Easy
The natural fighting style of lean
youth, rawhdc strong. did not re-
turn easily to the former CHAMPION,
now 32 years old and almost 20
pounds heavier than when he won
the title.
Sparring mates, catching Dempsey
with solid left jabs as he tore in on
his toes, tipped him off balance,
ruined Workmanship, and forced him
to swing long and inaccurate punches
while out of position.
AS result Jacks board Of
strategy, headed by Manager Leo p.
Flynn, worked out a solution of the
problem. The decision pulled Demp-
sey down from his toes, Strengthened
his body from the crouch and reduced
bobbing to minimum.
Yesterday in the most impressive
workout Jack has yet shown, he
knocked down straight left leads
with his right hand instead of try
ing to weave away from them and he
continually bored in close with head
down and body swinging, to rip short
left hooks to the head and ribs.
McMullen Kayoed
Eddie McMullin, middleweight,
who kept out Of harm way rather
ing, was knocked through the ropes
eled less than foot. Dave Shade,
crack middleweight from California,
bumped into three six inch left hooks
to the chin and was groggy when the
bell ended his round. In all. Jack
worked the equivalent of 10 fast
three-minute rounds.
Jim Corbett, ex-heavyweipht cham
pion, watched Dempsey work. II ex-
pected to find she'll rocked vet
eran," he said. -"Instead Jack is a
wonderful fighter in grand condi-
tion."
Dr.. w. M. Frahlick, New York
surgeon, sent here by Tex Richard
to examine Dempsey, declared Jacks
condition "splendid."

spit 2 Meager Income

Wimbledan, July 6.-&P,-The great
offensive Of professionalism against
amateurism, carried on throughout
the Wimbledon tenniS tournament
has eliminated in victory for the
amateurs. Despite gigantic offers of
sterling, dollars and francs to in
duce William T. Tilden, Henri Cochet,
Mrs. Kitty McKane Godfree, Miss
Helen Wills, Miss Betty Nuthall and
Fraulein Cecilie Aussem, to shed
their ermine cloaks of amateurism, SO
far as was known today, all refused.
Eight thousand pounds sterling,
$4,000 and 100000 francs were Of
fered to Miss Betty Nuthall, Miss
Wills and Cochet, respectively, but
there was no answer.
Miss Nuthall's mother-Betty still
being under age and unable to sign a
contract-dickered for nearly week
with the promoter, and then refused.
Miss Wills laughed when the sub
ject was preached and said, "See
Mamma Then Mrs. Wills referred
It to father at berkeley, Calf, and
DR.. Wills replied mot for 5000, OOO."
Had Tempting Offer
Had the thousand or so spectators
been aware Of the strain under which
Cochet was laboring in his match
against Tilden, the winner of the
Wimbledon mems singles champion
ships would have been cheered more
Justify than he was, for he had been
approached with a tempting offer
just before he took the courts.
Cochet is poor boy as tennis
players go. He is the son of a
Lyons ground keeper, having learned
tennis while chasing the balls about
the courts for Andre Colbert, William
Laurentz and other French cham
pions. He has little store in Lyons,
the income of which is reported to
be $4,000 francs-about $1,000
yearly. He is married and his
friends Say he has steady. sober
habits.
Tilden, the amateur tennis player,
maintained his standing. but Tilden
the actor, it is reported, wiz head
show in London next winter.

ThCr1'll lie No Elk in Front
Of Name Next FALL He says
in Interview With Powers
Is Out TO Win Back Title, Says
lie Knows He's in Good
Shape-H0pe Is High
BY JIMMY POWERS

New York, July inca 1.-THE
idols Of sport die hard.
For years, JacI. Dempsey stood
on pedestal He rocked dizzily
once. One hectic, heart-tingiing
night hairy-chested bull-like man
battered him through the ropes
That was Luis Firpo. Then came
the inevitable crash. Another night
n murky night and rain dashed
canvas was splashed with crimson
blotches, from a bleeding nose, q
puffed eye and pair of split lips
Gene Tunney did that.
The shock chilled millions of fans
Now is the comeback. Nine out OF
ten persons this writer has talked to
here want to see Dempsey regain his
pedestal. They want to think OF
that horrible scene in the shadows
of the Sesqui stadium as just a
vague nightmare.
And SO we have Jack with US again
--bronzed with a deep coat of Cali
fornia sunshine, eyes bright and
clear, manner brisk and confident
a slap on the back and CHEEKY word
He looks like the Dempsey of old.
Here is the tragic undertone of our
interview. 1t gives a little insight
into the heart of the man who was
once, it seemed, idoized by every
kid and every kids father in every
city block in America.
you don't know what year
spent since that thing at Phly,'
unused Jack, flash- darkly with the
memory Of it all. Eyes staring at
me in hotel Hobbies. on trains, in the
restaurants wherever | went. All
plying me all thinking You poor
sucker, YOU
Is Not Broken
1T was enough to break the spirit
of any man. Pm not a broken-down
machine. I'm man who held the
championship Of the world and lost
it in a single fight, outponted for
the title.
But I've had plenty of time to
weigh my friends. I've got friends
now who are real. That bunch of
who robbed me and bled
me dry and kicked me owe" are gone
and say, Pm glad l know my pals
now who are regular"
He grinned and nlayfully tousled
the head Of his trainer, Jerry the
Greek, who thinks there's nobody in
the woild like the chompeen.'
"Sharkey? | hear he's good. /
hear he's better than Tunney. Fine!
When | beat him it will make the
Tunney fight seems lots easier.
They say he's going to put the
pretty good at that eye business
Il know when I'm right. never
TENDER. If | had to go couple of
more, rounds then believe Gene
would have knocked me out"
And Jack looked very serious as
he said that and for a moment he
must have permitted himself to re-
view the painful debacle. Then he
grinned.
Out to Win
"I'm out to win that title back.
know I'm in good shape. I'd never
risk the humiliation of a worse beat
ing for all the money in the world
/ don't need it that bad. But I'm
going to win. There'll we no EEK in
front OF my name next fall. Remem
Der that"
So there's Dempsey for you. A
sensitive, popular idol hungry for the
piaudits OF the roaring mob who
cheered themselves hoarse every
time he thrust his scowling head be-
tween the ropes and every time he
left them. Every time, that is, bu.
once.
Hope. it is written, springs eternal
in the human breast.
And You can't hang a man for try.
