Wills Comeback Fails
To Stir Fight
Bugs

With Jack Dempsey getting
ready for his return to the ring
against Jack Sharkey, July 81,
there is little interest shown in
the plan of Harry Wills to come
back.
Wills is to fight Paolina Uz-
cudun around the middle of the
month at Ebbets Field, Brook
Ign.
Wills met his downfall last
year when he met Sharkey. The
Lithuanian beat the Black Pan
Their from the first to the final
gong, and it was believed then
that Wills couldn't attempt to
fight again.

ing any prediction of the outcome of
the Dempsey-Sharkey fight.
"I've fought Dempsey and have
seen Sharkey in action" he declared.
Both these things convince me that
Dempsey is essentially slugger and
that Sharkey is a boxer. Dempsey
may be a bit old and weather-be beaten
by the years. but figure that he
still can hit hard enough to come
close to annihilating any man who
happens to get one of his shots on
the vulnerable spot.
''Sharkey is a splendid boxer:
seemingly a keen and crafty fell

cleyerness. If he can keep out
of Dempsey's way, stem the
Dempsey rushes and save him.
self from being hit-welI. then.
I'd say that If the affair resolved
itself into a boxing battle
Sharkey would have great
chance Of winning.
Gus for any man to try to say this
man will win or that man will win.
For this battle is all entangled with
ands and ifs and butts. Sharkey may
not be so great as his Maloney fight
showed. On the other hand, he may
be better man. Dempsey may not
be able to make the come hack grade.
Yet it is extremely possible that he
can come back with a cyclonic rush.
It's all a guess as to how good
Sharkey Is and a guess as to how
good Dempsey isl
1T there's going to be any knock
out in that flight, well--"at which
point Tunney would go no further
on the subject and would only add:
cit Is quite immaterial to me
which man wins. i only hope
the better man triumphs and
that he does SO i'm spectacular
fashion. Then there will be no
further debate over the point
that / am going to fight the
best man i'm the world when go

Tunney returned to Spectator only
few days ago from brief trip to
Cleveland. Since then he has in
dulged only in long walks and an
occasional short run over the hills.

The Boston Besrcat was big
burly dark boy who had beaten
everybody in and around Salt Lake
and Ogden and he was constantly
looking around for some new blood
to spill. A great fellow, the Bearcat,
very talkative and very savage in
his ring manners. If you cared to
believe the Bearcat, well, the only
reason he wasn't world champion at
the time was because Jess Willard
was ducking him.
One afternoon bounced in on a
promoter looking for a fight and
dusky Bearcat. l said sure and the
match was made, but not until the
Bearcat had his way about all of the
purse going to the winner.
No sooner had we been
matched than he hunted up the
newspaper folks, and, in his good
Old-fashiOned way, told every
body that he would ruin me and
he begged and pleaded with
everybody through the newspa-
per columns and also when he
met 'em on the street to bet on
him.
"A day before the fight the
Bearcat insisted that the promoter
place big canvas over the orches-
ira pit which was just in front of
the stage where we were to fight.
Naturally, folks began to get curious
about the reasons. So the bearcat,
who felt he was a great goat getter.
and who tried to win his fights
razzing and jeering at fellows even
before the first bell rang, told EN-
like this:
"A nice boy, this Dempsey, and
so / don't want to break his neck
when knock him off the stage.
That's why I put the canvas there
to catch him when knock him off

''When we were i'm our corners

tried to scare me dizzy. So /
just grinned back at him and
pointing to the canvas in the pit,
/ yelled:

me about Is pounds. came tearing
at me. / kept iockeying around so
that could edge him along the
edge of the stage. 1t took me about
a minute to get him placed right,
then put everything l had into
left-hand drive for the body. The
Bearcat doubled up and his body
shot off the stage into the pit and
his neck was saved by the canvas
that was put there
'Wny does that incident remind
YOU Of Sharkey-or vice versa?"
Dempsey was asked.

fellows can try to figure out all by
yourselves" answered the ex.chan.

himself for a long jaunt on the road,

THINNING SWEET CORN

Some gardeners make a practice
of removing the secondary shoots
which arise from the base of sweet
corn plants, thinking that they are
benefiting the remainder of the plant
by so doing. This has been shown
TO be mistake, for plants from
which the suckers are removed yield
considerably less weight of ears. The
Cornell Experiment Station. which
carried on the experimental work,
comes out emphatically with the
recommendation that the corn be al
lowed to grow as it will. This find
ing and advice is in direct accord with
results obtained with apple and peach
trees. A reduction of the leaf sur
face reduces the gain in root and
tops. The leaves of plants are busily
engaged during daytime in the manu-
facture of foods for themselves and
for the plant as a whole. 1t stands
to reason that a removal Of leaf sur
face such as is practiced in sucker
ing corn is simply removing a part
of the factory and cutting down the
resulting output. AS a rule the
sucker shoots do not grow tall enough
TO compete seriously with main
stalks for sunlight and. in the face
of the results of the carefully con-
Quoted experiments. the practice of
the removal of the side or sucker
sh pots should not be continued.

HOLLYHOCKS

One of the tallest growing herba-
ceous perennial plants, this snowy,
old-fashioned flower is well adapted
for use as background to the Sum-
mer flower garden or for covering
an unsightly fence. In rich soil the
plants grow lUxuriantly. attaining a
height of s or feet The flower
buds, ranged along the stem from
the middle to the very tip, come into
bloom a few at a time. so that each
plant continues in flower over quite
a long period. The color range in
cludes yellow. white and all shades
of pink and red Raised from seed,
the plants do not come at all true
to color Named varieties with flow
ers of known form and color are OBJ
tainable, but these must be pur-
chased as plants, which the nursery
man raises by making cuttings Of the
young growth.
HollyhockS have a serious foliage
enemy, a rust fungus, which, when
very severe entirely defoliates the
plants. Spraying with Bordeaux mix
tGrc, starting early in the growing
season. will hold this disease in
check, but there seems to be no posi-
tive control.
Hollyhocks seed themselves with
great freedom, so much so that one
has to weed them from the flower
border lest they dominate the beds to
the injury of less vigorous flowers.
Those who like the hollyhock should
also try growing its relative, the
marshmallow or rosemallow. The
flowers are of the same general type
as that of the hollyhock, but are very
much larger, reaching, in improved
varieties, a width of 10 or more
inches. The plants are hardy, adapta-
bile to dry or moist locations and very
effective boomers, continuing in
flower from June to September.

RASPBERRY MOSAIC

Red raSpberrieS used to be consider
ed one of the easiest of fruits to grow.
Now, unfortunately, this is no longer
true since the advent of the mosaic
disease. so called because of light
spotting or nothing of the leaves of AZ
feCted plants. Raspberry mosaic dis
ease is classified as a virus infection.
that group of obscure but widely
spread plant diseases which until a
decade ago was scarcely recognized
but is now known in many cultivated
and wild plants. The casual organ
ism is so small that it has never been
seen even with the aid OF powerful
microscopes, but it's existence has
been proved by the transfer of in
lection from diseased TO healthy
plants.
Such obscure diseases are very diff
cult to combat. Spraying, except as
it checks aphids and other insects
which are known to carry the disease
from plant TO plant, is of no avail
There seems in the case of raspberry
mosaic no better course to pursue
than to purchase healthy plants in
starting new plantations. In certain
of the fruit States the agricultural
experiment stations have located
sources of healthy plants and are glad
to answer inquiries from prospective
purchasers. Again certain varieties
appear more resistant than others to
this disease. Herbert and Latham
have been found by the New York
station at Geneva to be quite resist
ant and both are very fine varieties.
The home gardener need not worry
about this disease so long as his plants
are growing thriftily and bearing
well. One of the first indications is
a decline in yield and a lowered pro,
duction of new canes. The leaves be-
come notified and lack the green
Ulster of health. What berries that
are produced are small and inferior
in quality. In severe cases the canes
die before the fruit is ripe.
Any gardener who finds his raspber-
ry plantation going to pieces in the
manner described may secure advice
from the Department of Agriculture
or his State experiment station. The
Maryland station is located at College
Park and the Virginia station at
Blacksburg.
