r ' errr?? : COTTON' AND SCtiAK 1 ?. TO BE PROTECTED ???- i Administration Mobilizing Hanking i t're?lit? to Curry Over Surplus. | Washington. June 25?Efforts are i being made by the administration to i mobilize banking credits for carrying i over surpluses of the country's cotton and sugar. Secretary Hoover dis- ; closed today before a Senate commit- i tee. The object is 'to prevent a t forced liquidation of these comtnodi- i ties he said, and the plan under con- < sideration is identical with that car- t ried out in the cattle industry. The Commerce Secretary, who call- 1 ed to give his views on the Norris bill to create $100,000,000 government farm export corporation, told the committee lie did not favor the meas- 1 are. "I don't want to appear to depre- | cate any proposal intended to assist | the agricultural industry." Mr. Hoov- t er said, "because the situation loday i which has reduced the purchasing \ power of the American banker 67 per l cent has put him to the most serious < duress agriculture has ever had to ( face. The situation is the most acute and dangerous in the country at the ; present moment. Yet I cannot feel t that the extension of further credit ] facilities for the supply of food pro- j ducts to Europe would give any ade- | quale remedy." I Million llnllniw i? While sixty million Europeans still i< are "under food restraint, rationing !< or similar systems," Mr. Hoover said, < Poland, Austria and "in a minor de- ] gree, Czeclio-Slovakia," were the only ; countries where a diminished food' supply might result from failure of ( ciedits. European harvests. g? neral- i ly good, he said, might he sufficient | to meet their needs, hut that in any j case thirty million bushels of wheat i wu.-. al that would lie involved. Hen added that Europe "found the money || somehow to take a billion dollars i 11;, food from the United States in the,] last eleven -and a half months." ; "As to cotton, however, the prob-' lent of disposing of our surplus is,| much more serious," Mr. Hoover continued, "because experience has demonstrated that the government and < the peoples will secure their food, hut that they will cut in textiles. , Live at Home. There is a marked tendency in Eu- i r*\nn 4*-* l i oo a. 1? .v|iv iu mi uu uieir own 100U re- i sources, and make their harvests stretch as far as possible through the , year which indicates that the Ameri- j can farmer must carry hereafter his i crops for a longer period through the i year because the European demand l will only come at later months. 1 "We are trying to set up such ma- i chinery as will prevent forced liqui- \ dalion in cotton and sugar and ne- ( gotiating through the banks of the country. If this cannot be done 1 through the mobilization of private , banking capital in such a way as to ] avoid putting the burden on the gov- ; ernment, why then we may have to i call on the government. ( "Happily there is a short crop of ; cotton this year, and there have also | been artificial conditions which have ] depressed the market such as the long strike in England and the reparations discussion with Germany which j worked to cut our cotton exports, t yet the shelves of the world are growing bare of textiles, and we can i hope to carry over the surplus until \ it can be sold at satisfactory levels. ? a similar situation exists as to grain, t but it is not so marked." f o t PAKM I ACTS t c From Hero ami There in South Caro Tina. ! v The third annual Tri-County Fair|a for Georgetown.

(By Jack Veiock.) International News Sporting Editor. Back to the days when fighters 1 'ought with bare fists, with the ring ' pitched on the turf in some secluded 1 spot where the contest could go on ' jnmolestcd is a far, far cry, yet we must go back that far to take up the < listory of the heavyweight division 1 )f which Jack Dempsey is a wing to- \ lay. More than a hundred years ago in 1 1816, Jake Hyer was the victor in the 1 'irst heavyweight championship fight ( leld in America. His defeated op- i ponent was Thomas Beasley. In those 1 far away days fighters were few and . far between and it was not until 1841 < hat Tom Hyer, who beat John Mc- I Cluster, better known as Country Mc- j Hloskey, became the first really rec-!< rpt,n F. ?1.? ll jf- uifavu *.iuuu|muw. a iir 115111 i uun J jlaco at Caldwell's Landing, N. Y.,1 iml went 101 rounds. jl Yankee Sullivan was one of Me-,1 21oskey's seco;:ds in the Caldwell 1 [finding fight and he ended it by browing a sponge into the ring at the end of the lolst round. In 1847 his same Yankee Sullivan, believing lie could defeat llyer, challenged him to battle and was knocked out in sixiren> rounds at Rock Point, Mil. Hyor later retired because he could not find ' in opponent and Sullivan then claimed the title and held it for a short time when he. loo. quit the ring. Heenan vs. Sayevs. In 18ij2 John Morrisev defeated Reorge Thompson in eleven rounds tit Mare Island, Cal. Six years later he liefeated John C. Heenan at Long Island Point, Canada, and afterward retired, later becoming a congressman. Heenan claimed the title in I860 and was recognized as the American champion. He was known . is the Benicki Boy and when lie found . PVtvnonAiilo lnnbln.y 1% ? ? rs, IPnry j|'|iuiiriii^ inviting lie ? i in iv/ ?iiigland to take on Tom Savers. How he beat Sayers until the British idol was unable to come out of his corner ind how the ring ropes were cut and the battle called a draw are a matter at" history. Following Heenan came Joe Coburn, Jim Dunn, Mike McCool, Tom Allen, Joe Ross and Paddy Ryan, who lield the American title from 1863 to 1S82 or up to John L. Sullivan's de)Ut as the champion of this continent. It was on February 7. 1882. at Mississippi City, that Suljivan won his -ight to the title by knocking out Ryan in nine rounds. The Sullivan-Corbett Fight. Sullivan held the title until James r. Corbett beat him by .a knockout in wenty-on? rounds at New Orleans in 1 Lt>9 2, his best fight in the meantime' >eing against Jake Kilrain, whom he unit in seventy-fivc rounds at Rich-' >urg. Miss., in 1889. This fight, by! he way, was the last bare-knuckle! ight in American heavyweight his-1 ory and in the Sullivan-Corbett fight I he first real American heavyweight liampionship contest in which the .1<r 1U..IU ticnri Corbelt held the title until 1S07.! rheji h<- lost it to Bob Fitzsinimons .i Carson City.

The historians of pugilism generaly credit Jim Jeffries with being the irst. American heavy weight with a lean claim to the world's chamtionship. Jim Corbett has as good a claim is history of the division sinew Jef-' lies time is well known. Jeffries referee^ a battle between i darvin Hart and Jack Root, won by. ttart, in 1905, and presented the title o Hart, who later was defeated by Tommy Burns in a twenty-rounder at [*os Angeles. Burns lost the title to Jack Johnson in fourteen rounds at Sydney, Australia, in 1908, and in: 1915, after seven years as champion of the world, Johnson lost to Jess1 Williard at Havana, Cuba. Jack Dempsey, the present incumbent, defeated the mighty Willard at Toledo in three rounds July 4, 1919.
