This policy was brought forcibly to

fact that the cotton crop could not

The distress which temporarily fol-

suggestion of diversifying the crops in
the South was agitated. The farmers

GRANDE- CHIP in DRAW;
RESULT BIG SURPRISE
Conqueror of Frank Klaus
Shows Lack of Old Wallop.
Sailor Excels at mitigating.

George Chip, conceded to be one of the
few leading aspirants for the middle
weight laurels, was surprised, as were
the spectators at the Olympia A. A. last
night. when Sailor Charley Grande
earned an even break with the Newcastle
miner A majority of the fans in at
tendance predicted a knockout victory
for the upstate mddleweight. 1t was
announced that each man weighed in un-
der 100 pounds.
From the outset It was evident that
Chip was not the same Chip who all but
annihilated Joe Borrell in the same rung
two years ago. He not only lacked ag-
gressiveness displayed at that time, but
the punch, the old wallop that knocked
out Frank Klaus twice and had Borrell
wobbly, was missing. However, he
proved his ruggedness by assimilating
severe body punishment in the clinches
without showing any effects
Chip accomplished most of his good
work from the distance while the Sailor
displayed better form at close quarters
Several times George brought right and
left-hand wallops in contact with Char
leys jaw-the crowd shrieked There he
goes"-but the punches lacked steam.
BY holding on with his left arm, he pum-
meled Chips body with his right Chip

TEE AND GREEN

Although invitations to the tournament
for the Lynnewood Hall Cup at the
Huntington Valley Country Club have
been received only by players having a
handicap of eight or less a big field is
assured The conditions make certain
of the quality of the field, and the fact
that Francis Ouimet is almost certain to
compete will arouse tremendous amount
of interest in the event.
In addition to Ouimet there will be
among the contestants w. II. Gardner,
I'd, Garden City; Warren B. Corkran, p.
e. Jackson and w. b. Purnell, of Balti-
more; George Small, of York, and Maui
rice Risley, of Atlantic City.
Other well-known out-of-town players
may be expected, as there are a number
to be heard from yet. The Huntington
Valley course is in grand condition at
present and should prove a good test
for the competitors.
