The tighter!) owe it to themselves and above all, to the boxing public to enter the ring In the armo of physical perfection. Just It ok what they are getting. 1 It Imi't their fault, of course, that the fight game Is so strongly commer cialized today. But they are profit In? by It. And the average fighter of to (lav thinks more of the commercial end of the game than he does of a chum plonshlp. In the old days a fighter foucht fr glory as well us cash. Why, John L. Kullivan never forgave me tor tHklt--the title away from him. The good old fellow couldn't forget It, somehow, mid I think that hurt him until the day ho passed along on the greatest of all adventures. Fighters today bet on themselves but compared to the purses they are gutting In this age they do not wager such sums as we fellows of bygone flsilc days used to do. When I fought Charley Mitchell, for Instance. I bet tlO.Ouo that I would defeat him. I placed my bet with ' Squire Abingdon Balrd. as the older fight fans will remember. Such ben as that In those days more than often wero larger than the purses. You don't see a fighter of today betting more than he receives, at least not often. The movies, too. must be considered when wo compare the financial side of the game today with that of bygone years. Of course the law which pre vents a boxing film from being trans ported from one stale to another has taken most of the kick out of fight pictures in this country, but they are Mill profitable. If the Dempsry-Cnr-pentler fight goes from fire to seven rounds the pictures will be worth a couple of million dollars. , We never . thought -of millions wlien I fought. Ten thousand grand and the glory of winning a tltUe was big stuff in those days. OF LEAGUE PERFORMERS CHICAGO, June 23. (A. R) The stolen base, once one of the blggctt factors In tho attack of world cham pionship baseball teams, has been thrown Into the discard by the major league managers of today. Records show thai there were nearly three times ns many stolen bases In tho Am erican league and nearly twice as many In the National league nine years ago as there were last year and Indi cations are that the decrease this year ever nine years ago will be still great er. Where there were ten star base stealers there Is now only one. Muny reusons for the decrease arc Advanced by managers and men who formerly were noted for their daring on the paths. While all agree that heavy hitting has helped In the ten dency to make the stolen base extinct, some also blame the Ineffectiveness of pitchers, failure of umpires to en force the bulk rule and the scarcity ot fast men. Ty Cob, the greatest base runner In history, says that the stolen baso has been discarded only tempo rarily and will return soon. Cobb declares that the gamo moves In cycles and that following the cycles of great pitching and great base run ning, we now have the cycle of great hitting. "With the sluggers of today, base stealing Is a back number," suld the Detroit manager, whose stolen baso mark formerly was close to the 100 figure for a season. "Rut, the hitting will pass. Then we will again return to the cycles of pitching and baserun- nlng. Five years from now my bue running marks may be eclipsed by some youngster now In grammar school." Trls Speaker, manager of the world champion Cleveland Indians, combines Ineffectiveness of pitching with heavv hitting ns the reason for tho lack of shlolen bases. j "The base runner of today Is the! man who can go from first to third or; troni second home on a single, not the man who can steal seventy-five bases In a season." suld Speaker. "The In effectiveness of the modern pitcher has brought about the heavy hitting and. Indirectly, the decrease In stolen bases. We have no pitchers today like Mathewson. Joss, Welsh, I'lank, Wad dell, II row n and other stars of ten year oro. Th average-pitcher of to day throws the ball up and hopes It wont hit him coining back." Kddle Collins, who once was onp of tho greatest of base runners, declares that the catchers are not throwing any better than In the years past and that the runners are not any slower. "Why should r try to steal when I have men behind me who usually ad vance me by hitting?" asked Collins. "I'd be foolish to take the chunee. An other thing, the rules arc more strict now. We used to get a lot of free stolen bases when there were two out with the other team way ahead and no one cared whether the runner was on first or third. We don't get those any more. The only time I try to steul is with two out and one run need ed to tie or win. Then I want to be on second so I can score on a single." Harry Hooper, another great base runner, takes the same view as Collins, whllo Kid Glcuson, manager of the Chicago White Hox says that the base runners of today aren't as smart as those of past years. He said: "Why have them steal, when the chances are they'll get thrown out or picked off the suck after stealing?" he said. "The batters ore hitting and that's the best way to get the runners home." In 1912 there were 1.910 stolen bases In the American league. 1.430 In 19Ki. " In 1919 and only 751) last year. Thus fur this season there have been 197 thefts, at the ratio of only 591 for the season or little more than one fourth the number in 1912. Where Clyde Milan led the leuguo in 1912 with 88 thefts and Cob In 1915 with 96, the lender last year Sam Rice stole only 63, and George Sister with 42 "was the only other man to Pass the 25 mark. Eight years ago there were nearly 30 men with more than 25 stolen bases each. I SPORT BULLETINS TIMKIiY HITTING WINS. SEATTLE. Wash., June 23. (A. P.)

Dave Smith, the Australian middle weight who saw the Carpenticr-Klaus figUt at Dieppe. France, writes the following interesting letter to the Syd ney Referee: "When in Englar.U m 1912 I hap pened to be in Liverpool, and a discus sion arose ragarding the projected con test between Carpentier and Klaus, so I decided to have a look at it and, if possible, have a cut at the Frenchman myself. ' The contest was held In the oas.al town in France. Dieppe. The promoter, whom 1 afterward met, was very shrewd fellow. After signing both boys up he hunted for a town to hold the contest. He approached tnc deputy of the different places, asking what each would offer to have the bout stared. Dieppe bid highest, and so got the mill. The promoter him self told me he had more money guar anteed than he had to pay both box-' ers. The house, to use an Australian expression, was all cop. The guaran tee money was collected from tne n sinocs hotels and other public places, and even the taxi men had to pay their share. My hotel rate was usually 2') francs a day. They charged all visit ors 40 francs a day. I, being a boxer, was charged the usual prices, so got off lightly. The contest was held in a railway goods shed. The streets leao- ing to the convincing place were lineu with beflagged poles. "The carnival opened on Sunday. "Monday was the day of the big mill. blK crowd assembled. Fully eight or nine thousand persons attended, of which 4000 were ladies. "Sitting at the ringside with an Eng lish writer's wife, I was surpriseu when Billy Papke came in and sat next 'o me. We were both introduced to the audience and got a flattering recep :on. Frank Klaus was In the ring. He looked a Les Darcy sitting in his corn r short, tough and rugged. Carpen ier, who received an ovaticn flowers, -on'fetti and kisses, etc., looked some hing like our Les O'Donneil of years igo, Just an overgrown boy. The fight tself needs little describing. Klaus, vho employed the Cyclone Thompson method of boring In. simply took oil leorges puches to the head, and wal oped lefts and rights to the body and he soon had the Frenchman in Queer itreet. One can hardly believe the tales of Carpentier s wonderful foot work one hears today. Then he spread his feet too far apart, and was flat footed. -The fifth round saw Georges on the floor. Though knocked ciown ie- leatedly, he battled away till the nme eenth round. Then Deschamps pulled Hi. Severest thing in the h.'story of the ring. Georges was getting a feariui mauling In a mix-up when Deschamps jumped Into the ring, and Carpentier lost the contest through a breach of ; the rules. Instead of being defeated j by the k .o. he was a martyr to a hot headed second. Can you bent that? "If Dempsey is of the same gum- j chewing .tough species of man Klaus was I think he will take all Georges' j wallops and not lose a heart-beat." Most Ili-uvywrlglit Champ Have Initial J. It's rather strange how the letter J seems to hung aoout the men who have worn the crown in the heavy weight division. Every heavyweight champion of the world under the Marquis of Quccns bury rules has had the initial J except Bob Fitiisimmons. John L. Sullivan was the champion of the world under London prize ring rules and later the first to defend his title under the new rules. From John I,, down, the Christian names of the title holders have invariably started with the letter J. , I'jpe the list: John L. Sullivan, Jim Corbctt, Rob ert Fitz-simmons (the only exception), Jim Jefferies, Jack Johnson, Jess Wil lard. Jack Dempsey.

Although the price of wheat is not j so wry satisfactory to the farmers, the prospects for a big crop puts a smile on everybody's face. If the present favorable wheat weather continues until harvest time, there is no good reason why Weston farmers will not harvest sixty bushel wheat. Hut un less rains should come soon the pota to outlook Is not so promising at this tmie. The potato acreage on the dif ferent mountains adjacent to Weston ts rather large, and with plenty of rain tho growers may reasonably ex pect a large yield.
