JIIT
ARDS TODAY
ON THE
Los Angeles, Cal, April 9. "Noth
ing to It," fs the consensus of the com
petent on today's fight at Vernon be
tween Sam Langford, the colored
boxer, and Jim Barry, the Chicago
heavyweight. While the mill. Is
scheduled to last twenty-five rounds.
It Is the general opinion that the ne
gro will take Barry's measure In
much less time. The fight will be the
ninth between Barry and Langford.
Langford has two knockouts to his
credit over Barry, and has always been
able to hold the Chicago heavyweight
safe. Langford's easy victory over
Flynn makes the local fans skeptical
of Barry's ability to cope with the
Cave Man.
It was Barry who asked for a long
fight, despite Langford's recent easy
victory over Jim Flynn. Langford
has beaten Barry several times, but
the white man, having the advantage
of height, reach and weight, as Flynn
also had, believes that he can over
come the negro's superior general
ship in a battle of more than ten
rounds.
After this fight Langford will go
east to train for his six round bout
with Stanley Ketchell In Phiadelphia
on April 27. It is said that they;
will fight at one of the Quaker base-
ball forks, where 2". "00 persons can '
look on. As Ketchel will receive a
iu,u.. guarantee, me promoters win
have to take In big money at the rate
as Langford's share will be steep and
the club certainly wants to cut up
some snug profits.

DYNAMITE CAUSES GREAT
MORTALITY OF UNBORN CHICKS
Madras, Ore. The farmers and
poultriers in this vicinity have a
grievance against the railroad con
tractors working on the Hill and Har
riman railroads building near this
city, and from present results In the
hatching line the complaint Is well
grounded. The hens are only hatch
ing from two to five eggs In settings
of from 13 to 15.
This poor showing was at first at
tributed to inferior eggs, but many
different ranchers began to compare
notes, and it was seen that the poor
results were general.
An examination of the unhatched
eggs In most cases showed that the
chicks had partially developed, but
had from some cause died before
hatching. And the chicken raisers
have come to the conclusion that the
heavy blasts incident to railroad con
struction are responsible for the high
mortality of the unhatched eggs.
The chicken and egg production In
this section Is becoming Quite an ex
tensive Industry and has heretofore
been very remunerative. The railroad
work has no deterrent effect on the
laying hens, who are keeping the con
tractors well supplied with fresh hen
fruit, but the probable supply of
spring frys and broilers, etc., for the
later season promises to be short un
less the farmers find some means to
counteract the effects of the blasting.
