CONSERVATION PROGRAM FOR
1898 REVISED in LINE WITH
NEW ACT
NEW ACT

Items on which maximum payment
to farmers participating in the 1888
agricultural conservation program
will be based have not been changed
since original announcement of the
program, according to County Agent
Miller, but some of the rates are
different. Changes were made, he
states, in accordance with the new
Farm Acts specific directions for
allocating funds among the crops.
Among the most significant chang
es from the standpoint out, is the
es from the standpoint of number of
farmers affected, Mr.. Miller, points
out, is the provision for increased
payments to producers on small
farms. For payments of $40 or less
the increase will be 40 per cent. The
rate of increase will be reduced as
payments are increased, but there
will be some increases for all pay
ments under 5000. The effect of the
increase in small payments will be
equivalent to an increase between
s and 10 percent in the basic rates.
The formula in the new Act under
which these increases are made is as
follows: Payments totalling $40 or
less will be increased 40 percent;
S21 to $40 payments will be in
creased So plus 20 percent Of the
excess over $40; SAL to $50 pay
ments will be increased $12 plus 10
percent of the excess over $40; SCI
to 1856 payments will be increased
s14; $1S6 to 5000 payments will be
increased to $500.
A maximum payment that can be
earned will be determined for each

Twas something l heard that told

Across the fields on the distant pike,

And it came like music to listening

Across the fields-and across the years!

Ed'cards Gets Salary Boost;
Eight Veterans No,v Signed

Both Of the only two remaining
members of the original Redskins were
signed today to play professional foot
ball during the 1898 season, following
receipt Of Turk Edwards duly filled-in
contract from his home In the State
of Washington. The contract of Erny
Pinckert, the only other man on the
squad who started to play for George
Marshall in 1882, was received several
weeks ago.
Outside Of stating that Edwards,
captain Of last years champions. had
been given raise and would be the
highest paid tackle in pro ball."
Marshall would give no intimation Of
the salary agreed upon. The only
known fact about salaries Of the local
club is that no player received less
than $l25 per game last season.
Last year Edwards was one Of the
three stand-out players, along with
slingin' Sam Baugh and CHI Battles,
of the team. His massive 260-pound
frame seemed to get better as the
season progressed and his work In the
Green Bay Packer game here and the
Eastern title-winning game In New
York brought him wide acclaim.
Tops Leagues Tackles.
His work was publicly recognised
when he was chosen all-league tackle
for the fourth time In his 6-year pro-
fessional career. An all-American
tackle for washington State, he still
is regarded as one. of the two best
tackles ever to ha$e played In the

ARCHIBALD TO Do

Planned for Him to Meet

Battle Tonight.

Buffeted by crying clouds last night,
the Pete Scalzo-Tony Dupre eight
round feature bout will make delayed
launching tonight at Griffith Stadium
as Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn con-
tinues his featherweight elimination
tourney with the consoling knowledge
there will be no immediate interfer-
ence from New York.
Ahearn, who accused New York pro-
moters of attempting to wreck his
l26-pound tourney by rematching
joey Archibald and Mike Belloise in
Gotham later this month, now is har-
boring no grudges, with the possible
exception q the weather man, for
that proposed bout has been cancelled.
Archibald, who trimmed Belloise
here last week, will conflne his ring
labors exclusively to Washington,
where he remains undefeated in IL
engagements.
Will Fight Tonight's Winner.
Archibald, according to Ahearn, will
meet the winner Of the Scalzo-Dupre
fuss, with the eventual winner OF the
tourney likely to be recognized as
champion by the National Boxing As

articles to defend his title before the
N B. A. convention here in September.
The sixth postponement suffered by
the fistic firm of Turner g. Ahearn
since they vacated Turner's Arena for
the sumer season does not figure to
harm attendance to any extent, for
Scalzo and Dupre are ranking Differs,
who have captured respective follow
ings here in previous engagements.
Dupre's wedge to popularity here
was the impressive manner in which
he trounced Lou Gevinson, while
Scal7o, defeated only once in ~ en-
counters, scored knockouts in both his
previous performances here.
Reilly Sold on Dupre.
Pete Reilly, one Of the Nations more
astute judges Of ring flesh, has cul-
tivated large chunk Of respect for
Dupre, whom he regards as one of
the stifIest tests his protege. scalzo,
has been forced to meet. Pete has
seen Dupre swing on several occasions
and has been impressed by his clever
ness and authoritative punching.
Scalso, rated sixth in the feather
weight division, and Dupre, ranked
ninth, both weighed l25 pounds at
the official beef inventory.
The remainder of the card will hold
over, with Steve Mamakos meeting
Cal Cagney, New York middleweight,
in the eight-round semifinal and
Chester Ruby facing Jerry Hall in a
six-rounder.

AMBERS SLIPPING,
ARMSTRONG HINTS
Way to Lightweight Title
Eased by Champs firing
Legs, Henry Thinks.
BY DREW MIDDLETON,
By DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer.

NEW YORK. July 19.-Every time
you look UP Henry Armstrong is get
ting ready to knock off some fellows
head, This time it is Lou Ambers and
the Los Angeles Negro goes so far as
to predict he'll belt out the king of
the lightweights.
The buzz-saw is making his first ap-
pearance here since he battered
Barney Ross into bleeding, helpless
pulp and added the welterweight
championship to his featherweight
crown. He starts training Wednes-
day.
Il saw him fight this Jimmy
Vaughn out in Los Angeles" said
Henry, "and I think maybe he's gone
back. He didn't lick Vaughn until
Vaughn got tired and Jimmy hit him
couple Of licks that really rocked
him.
Not Sure Lou Is Past Peak.
"Now that's different than he was"
continued the hammer. Remember
him against Montanez that time in
doors Pedro hit him with everything
but the water bucket one round and
he came back in the last rounds and
won draw. Then he took some more
from Pedro, outdoors, and licked him. -
The inference was that Ambers,
after five years of fighting on or
around the top, has passed his peak
But Henry was not too confident that
was the answer. I'm not too sure"
he said, ''all can say is if he doesn't
get better, Ill drop him.
This was about face for Henry.
Early last spring when he and Harry
Armstrong. his trainer. were plotting
their triple killing of the welterweight,
lightweight and featherweight titles,
they were more worried over Ambers
than Ross.
Still Thinks Ambers Cute"
I'VE still think he's cute. We
haven't changed our minds on that"
Henry answered. Man, he's hard to
hit and he knows lot. But if his
legs are goin' he isn't going to be SO
hard to hit and you saw how much
KNOWN lot meant for Schmeling
when he got in there with that
Louis
The Hammer also pointed out that
Ambers' peculiar style-he boxes with
his hands low, almost at his sides
would be to his advantage
When I rush him he'll either have
to punch with me or get his hands up
to protect himself. 1t don't matter to
me, because I know I can hit him
Besides, he's lightWeight-I can hurt
a lightweight more than welter-
weight"
Must Shed Seven Pounds.
Henry weighs l40, which is 6ia
pounds more than he weighed for Ross
and more than he expects to weigh
for Ambers August 10. Before the Ross
massacre he proclaimed roundly that
1873 or thereabounts was his best fight
ing weight and demonstrated by giving
the Chicagoan terrific going over.
Nav, don't like the idea of train
ing much. Guess there isn't a fighter
that does. But had good vacation,
and I'm ready to go. Besides sorta
like it in there sparrin'. 1 feel the
same way about 1t, like told you last
spring. like to hit my man and see
him go down. When I lose that feelin'
or they don't go down, III quit"

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 19.-As one As
syrian to another. have you ever seen
anything like Tony Galento's popu-
larity? Or to be more direct-have
you ever seen anything like Tony
Galento?
The beer barrel that walks like a
man is out in Summit, N. j., these
days training for his approaching bout
with John Henry Lewis, the light
heavyweight king AS soon as Tony
sees you he bellows, Hey, dey had a
quarter Of a million guys out to see
me in Philly. Them guys are nuts
about me down there"
Those not swayed by the oratory of
Tony's manager, Joe Jacobs, are in
clined to put the figure somewhat
lower, but one and all agree 1t was a
terrific turnout for prizefighter, Lady
Godiva or an earthquake.
They Call 1t Fast Work.
A goodly portion Of the fight fans
appear at Nine. Bey's to watch Tony
60 through what he whimsically calls
his training. Yes, since the New York
State Boxing Commission cracked
down, Tony really trains. He's down
to three beers and as many cigars a
day. The citizenry stands pop-eyed
while Galento waggles his left hook,
fans the breeze with his right and in
dulges in various elephantine motions,
roughly described as footwork.
The fans don't say much. No de-
fects are pointed out as they were at
Joe Louis camp for the very good
reason no one has that much time
No one even mentions John Henry
and those good old bywords psyche
logical advantage" and emotional
liability" haven't yet been trotted out.
Instead the boys stand around until
Tony hits somebody with his left hook.
Then they walk up, peer at the body
and shuttle happily home.
Tony fancies his chances as much
as his followers do To hear the old
nightstick talk it will be q question of
Q couple Of good lefts In the Lewis
kisser and then everybody over to 'the
jernt" for q lager on the proprietor
when they meet in Philadelphia on
the 26th.
Fans Are Skeptical.
Others, however, think differently
though not aloud in Tony's presence.
They content themselves with looking
at the rural life when Tony misses,
which is often, and talk Of other
things when the tubby nightstick starts
to pun and turn pale after few
rounds Of not too strenuous sparring.
For they know that John Henry Is
long ways from being the worst
fighter In the world. He can move and
he can hit sharply and accurately with
his left. And he is too smart to wait
for Tony to wind up that LETT, In other
words, a hard guy for any One to beat,
particularly for Galento.
The funny part Is no one wants to
