CHALENOER DOWN
Champion Has Best of 17 Out of 20
Round Contest Two Were
Even.
San , Francisco, April 18. Willie
Ritchie still retains his title as light
weight champion of the world today.
Ho defenlded it last night agaiiisut
Harlom Tommy Murphy in one of the
fastest 20-round contests ever seen in
Suu Francisco. N
Charges thab tho champion was
afraid of the ehallengor were fully
disprovod. It is also true that Mur
phy is one of the gamest scrappers
that the game has ever known. A less
courageous mfin would hve gone
down from the terrific hammering the
challenger received. His ability to as
similate punishment was marvelous.
Ritchie outclassed and outfought
Murphy at every; anglo of the game.
Seventeen of the 20 rounds belonged
to Ritchie. The other throe wore prac
tically even. The champion 's victory
was dociaive. In' the closing rounds
he hammered tho New Yorker all over
the ring. Tommy was all but out
whon the gong clanged the end of the
twentieth round. Had the battle gone
another round it lscertain that Ritchie
would have won by ai knockout.
The champion loft the ring un
marked. Tommy was covered with
cuts and bruises. His left eye was bad
ly puffed aud bleeding. When the
final gong sounded he staggered to his
cornor, hardly hearing the words of
praise voiced by the champion. Only
bulldog determination, backed by won
derful grit, enabled Murphy to go
through the battle to a finish.
Ritehio played for the body through
out the contest' and this attack grad
ually wore tho challenger down.' Time
and agem he sent terrific rights and
lofts into Murphy's mid-section until ,
the spectators marveled that ho stood
up under it.
San Franciscans were convinced that
the local boy is a real champion. He
fought a heady fight and Bhowed thatj
ho is splondid two-handed scrapper.
And that Ritchie failed to knock out;
the challenger was due entirely to the
letter's wonderful condition and game- j
ncss.
Closo students of the game say that'
last night's mauling will tell on the;
llarlemite in tho future. He is no,
longer a youngster, and Jt will bej
weeks beforo the soreness leaves his;
body.
After the battle the champion
walked over to Murphy's corner and
put his arm about his shoulder. ' ' Tom
my," he said, "you made a great:
fight. No gamer boxer ever entered!
the ring." -
Whilo Murphy felt his defeat keen- j
ly, he admitted frankly and volun-1
tarily that the champion had won. j
"I don't want to be a sore loser,";
ho said, "but I feel confident that I'
can do better than I did lost night. I
went agminst a real fighter and a real
champion, and I did the best that 1 1
could for my friends. I would like j
another chance." '
Ritchie took his victory as a matter!
of course. " I
"I never met such a game man in
all my life," he said. "I hit Tommy:
tra hard as I ever hit any man in mv,
life, and he stood up under it. Both
of my hands are sore. Tommy punches
did not bother me, and, after we had ;
gone a couple of rounds I thought it
would only be a matter of my waiting
for the chanco to lrlnd the knockout'
wtallop. Murphy covers up in such
stylo, however, that it hard to hit him
arid he has great powers of reeovery.
I hope Y never have to hit as many ;
stomach blows as I gave him last
night, I have the greatest Admiration-
for Tommy, and I can almost say
that I am sorry that it had to be so.",
"Roferee Jim Orififn said: I
"Ritchie won all the way. He has1
improved wonderfully since his last
apiwaraaco here. Hard righto and;
lefts to the stomach weakened the :
challenger, and Murphy took enough i
punishment to put half a doieu ordin- j
ary fighters to sleep. It was a clean
battle from start to finish.!' , j
Weather conditions for night fight
were perfect and. the big arena waa
packed. ' i
AGRICULTURALIST IS PERFECT
ING PLANS FOR ORGANIZATION
OF GIRLS ' CANNING CLUBS.
Luther J. Chapin, U. 8. agricultural
export for Marion county, returned
this morning from Eugene, where he
spent Thursday and Friday in per
fecting plans for girls' canning clubs
to take part in a vegetable canning
contest to be held at the Oregon statfl
fair in September. The Eugene Daily
Guard of Friday's issue has the fol
lowing to' say of the work done in
Lane county:
Plans for an intor-couuty fruit and
vegetable canning contest between
sixty Lane and Marion county girls
at the Oregon state fair in Septem
ber were comploted in a eonferenco
between F. W. Rader and Luther J.
Chapin, county agriculturalists of Lane
and Marion county respectively. The
contests are arranged for the purpose
of introducing modern methods of
steam pressure canning in the rural
homes of the state. It is one attempt
to aid the rural housewife with scien
tific kitchen machinery, and the pro
posal is to demonstrate canning nv
chinery in the schools and in the home.
The contest- at Salem will be made
one of the most important features of
the fair. Arrangements have been
made for motion pictures of the girls
at work for display over the nation,
and tbo canning demonstration will be
continuous throughout the six days of
the fair. Two contests will be held
ach day between teams of five girls
each. For the three highest, prizes
of $10, $7.50 and $5 wUl be offered.
The Eugene teams will be selected
by similar contents hold during tho
throe days of the Lane county fair
tho week previous to the state fair.
The winning teams of the contests
here will have the expenses of a trip
to tho state fair paid for. The Mar
ion county teams will be selected in
some different manner, but represen
tative teams will be taken from the
Chemawa Indian school, the Salem
high school and the Marion county
rural schools.
The plans for the contest include
tho growing of products for canning
at home before the fair. Fach team '
will have its time divided into two
periods, and during the first of these
periods they will can products of their
own growing, and the second period,
hat for whicU they will be timed for
speed, is that on which the prizes will
be granted. Efficiency and appear
ance will also bo counted in the award
ing of prise. The two counties aro
the only ones in the state that will
participate in these demonstrations.
I According to tho county agricultur
; ist home canniifg machines, winch can
be purchased for ouly a few dollars,
will revolutionize the canning process
of the housewife. The cpnning un
der steam pressure permits a moro
perfect sterilization of the fruit, it s
claimed, and it permits the use of t'td
cans and saves the housewife time.
At an all-day agricultural rally to
be held at Thurston, early in May,
and at which 11. T. French, stata
agriculturist, L. J. Chapin and F. W.
Rader will bo present, demonstrations
of mechanical canning for the house
wife will be mado. To this meeting
farmers aro planning to como for
miles around, and the affair will bs
ono of the most unique rural educa
tional picnics ever held in the state.
At the conference of the two agri
agriculturalists today plans were alsa
laid for inter-county competition at
corn show to be. hold at Salem in
November. Farmers from both coun
ties will .competo for prizes for dis
plays of exhibits of corn.
Mr. Rader and Mr. Chapin today
went to Pleasant Hill to make experi
ments in the inoculation of soil and
the use of time to neutralize acid
soil.

Laurel?
A Practical Demonstration of
"The World's Greatest Fuel Savers"
will be given at our store all next week, April 20th. Everybody . attending will be
shown how the wonderful Laurel Range is operated and how the Laurel Fuel Saving
Flue Construction saves you actual money yes enough in one year to pay for your
range. Don't stay away because you are not interested in buying a range at present.
You will want one some day, and may never again have as good an opportunity to learn
why all ranges do not bake and cook as quickly and economically nor with the same imi-.
f ormly successful results which any Laurel Range will give.
This demonstration which we will conduct ia given to convince you that the stove is of
as much, if not more, importance than the cook. , , (
You will notice in the illustration shown above that the lids of the stove are numbered.
In other ranges than the Laurels the heat passes only under Nos. 1, 2 and 3 when the di
rect draft is opened. Laurel Twin-Flue Ranges are built differently; they heat the
entire stove top; they use less fuel; they heat the entire pyen to a uniform temperature
when you want it, but do not heat the oven at all when you don't want it. This saves
fuel and makes the kitchen more comfortable. The special Laurel Twin-Flue Construc
tion which makes this possible will be explained, with many, other desirable Laurel fea
tures .during each day. of this demonstration. L L-Li UlIuUtiU uiau,
