Coulon of Chicago, 105 pound champion of America and candidate for the 115 pound honors, was given a beating last
night by Patsy Brannigan of Pittsburg.
Although no decision was rendered, the
popular verdict was against the windy city boxer.
Brannigan proved the more clever, be
ing aided by his greater height. He towered over Coulon fully slnx inches
and was three pounds heavier.
Coulon had a narrow escape from be
ing knocked out in the third round. He had had the better of the first two ses

stepped into a hard wallop which dazed
him and sent him nearly across the ring. He was In distress, but Brannigan failed to follow up his advantage and Johnny held until his head had cleared and the danger was past.

will not be dangerous.
President Bryan said: "No game is

a game cannot be kept except at that

exercises at today's football practice than they ever thought existed. Signals followed, In which particular attention was paid to the style of play arranged for the Thanksgiving game
against St. Louis university. The bruised Indian warriors are notoriously afflicted and the regular lineup probably will remain in the closing game, for which Carlisle leaves tomorrow evening. The Indians will put every effort into digging out a victory In Missouri and were told this afternoon by Warner that they could surely win if they played the kind of ball he had tought them.

New York, Nov. 23. George Sutton,
the rotund billiard star from Chicago,
gathered In the first game in the
world's billiard championship tourna
ment at 18.2 balk line when he defeated his compatriot, Calvin Demarest, by a score of 500 to 302 in 29 Innings at Madison Square hall last night.
It was advanced skill pitted against
the inexperience of an aspiring champion. Sutton was the same cheerful
player from start to finish, while hia youthful adversary allowed his nerves to get the better of him now and then.
Sutton averaged 17 7-20. which will
have to be improved greatly to cut any figure in the tournament.
At times the victor displayed a mar
velous mastery over the Ivories. In the tenth inning Sutton was at his best. aGthering the balls together he clicked off 134 before he stepped. It was the
irony of fate that after reeling off this
high run that Sutton failed on an easy draw shot.

twenty men reported and were put through a preliminary practice in the big gymnasium. The prospects for an

You know what the average price of land is throughout the middle west from $100 to $150 an acre. But here in the very heart of Wisconsin lies over a halfmillion acres with the same soil and the same climate as the other lands, yet thrown on the market at from $6 to $20 an acre. Ten Years to Pay This land has been held by the lumbermen until stripped of its timber, and now it is thrown open to farmers. One man recently bought some $15 land and after clearing and cultivating it sold the land for $50 an acre and reinvested the profits in other land here. He is even now a wealthy man. You can buy this land by paying one-third down and the balance within ten years. Sup
pose you select some $15 land. Pay $5 an acre down and you can own an eighty-acre farm for only $400. And the value grows with great rapidity. Wisconsin the Dairy Statt Wisconsin butter, cream and cheese command a premium in every market. Rich, thick clover and pure spring water, with a mild climate, make dairying ideal. Four cows usually yield $200 a year in butter and $150 in beef. Clover grows so abundantly as to bring $10 an acre in the meadow. Sugar beets, tobacco and grain all yield the most plentiful crops.
