A grade Jersey COW was purchased
in the vicinity of Athens at cost Of
$35. AS five year old the cost of
feed, including pasturage, was $40.22.
She produced 4,633.1 pounds of milk.
The value of milk was reckoned at
80 cents per gallon, and it amounted
to $165.79 This is a conservative
value to place on it since milk retails
in most Georgia towns at 40 cents
per gallon. This leaves a difference
of $125S1 between the value of milk
and the cost of feed. The average fat
test was IL per cent, which would

would have sold for $72.97, or $32.75
more than the cost of feed. On but

the skim milk would have fully paid

while I have won many matches

grip. In fact, l have won more
matches with other holds. probably
have won most of my matches with
the half-nelson and crotch, but fear
of the toe hold has helped in secur-

"I defeated Dinnie in England with
this form OF the toe hold. think

so quick that 1t made him a convert
to our style of wrestling. He was
one of the best boosters we had in
England after that experience.
Il think Hackenschmidt mortally
feared the toe hold in both our
matches. He quit when I went after
the hold in our first match. He plead
ed that he had enough as soon as
secured the grip in our last meeting.
II doubt the wisdom of barring thS
toe hold. Once this grip is under the
ban the game will degenerate in the
direction of the Greco-Roman style,
which at best is only half wrestling.
Then the hammerlock. which is Just
as dangerous, would have to go and
the game would be reduced to test
of mere brute strength.
Although l have had many wrest-
lers at my mercy with the toe hold,
have never injured an opponent
without cause. In 1900 at the Brookes'
casino In Chicago 1 injured Pardello,
the Italian. but had cause. for he had
pulled whole handful of hair from
my head. 1t is Just as easy to injure
an opponent with tho hammerlock or

There are several varieties of toe

the famous toe hold,' consists of get

which the toes and ankle are the
points of attack. 1t is often confused
with the toe hold over the leg, but
the two grips are distinct.
at is important first of all to have
ones opponent in the proper position
to begin the preliminary moves for the
toe hold. When an opponent is on the
mat. suppose the attacker is on the
right side. The wrestler who Is the
under dog must be on his hands
and knees for the attacker to make
the shift that traps his opponents
further foot.
1.-THE attacker from this position
holds his opponent to the mat by
srasping the right leg high up with
both hands. working well to the side.
With his right hand the attacker
reaches inside the crotch from the
front, grasping his opponents left
ankle. With the left hand he grasps
his opponents foot near the toes. al

near leg of his opponent and pulling
up on the Imprisoned foot. The oppo-
nent's right leg in this way is trapped
and his left foot is ''out of commits

prisoned in this way for few Sec
onds, the muscles relax and the mem
ber becomes powerless. The attacker
then pulls up and may apply the twist
to the toe hold. His head may be used
as an instrument OF attack in forcing
an opponents shoulders to the mat.
"Since the left leg Of the defensive
wrestler has become Ineffective by
being imprisoned in this way. the
ankle hold may be released and the
toe hold easily retained. The free

CHASE is VERSATILE PLAYER
Mack Says New Yorker Can Play Any

It is not at all surprising that there
should be big difference of opinion
among all players and wise baseball
managers as to whether a left handler
can play second base. The debate has
been going on for some time. In fact.
since Hal Chase expressed his desire
to play that bag. and now that Chance
has said that he is going to put Chase
on second base II he can get in the
game, and he says he will, the debate
has become all the warmer.
