lands for beet culture. Their action
will determine whether or not the
sugar industry In Oregon Is started
in Rogue River valley or elsewhere.
as the stockholders OF the Oregon
Utah Sugar company have made up
their minds to so into the sugar busl-
ness in Oregon, and the Rogue River
valley Is its first choice. and II the
acreage can not be obtained. the
company then will decide on Ump-
qua or Willamette valleys.
The location OF the plant and It's
site will be decided by the directors
as soon as the acreage is signed up
and passed on. No matter where
the exact location Is, the farmer can
deliver his beets to convenient load
ing stations on the Southern Pacific
and California and Oregon Coast
railroads. and the price OF beets
(. o. b. cars will be the same as
though delivered at the factory.
AS soon as the beet contracts are
signed up, the company proposes TO
establish permanent places OF busi-
ness in Medford and Grants Pass for
the convenient handling OF the busi-
ness OF both ends OF the valley.
TO MAKE SUGAR WE HAVE TO
HAVE THE BEETS, AND BEFORE
BUILDING A FACTORY AND IS
SUING BONDS WE MUST DE SURE
OF THE BEETs. YOU ATTEND TO
THE BEET RAISING PART AND
WE WILL ARRANGE THE REST.
A number of important factors en-
ter into the sugar business and the
building OF factory in new coun-
try.
First: 1t must be certain that
enough beets will be raised TO keep
sugar factory running.
Second: To arrange contracts In
time to have the plant built and
ready. September /, 1916, In this
case.)
Third: The national tariff question
and the prospects OF a market for
sugar at reasonable prices.
Fourth: The contamination OF the
preliminary financial arrangements
that have been made to carry out
the plan as soon as II is definitely
decided upon.
Fifth: Satisfactory freight rates
must be arranged for, and contracts
must be made for lime, coal, coke
and wood and other necessities used
In large quantities.
Sixth: The beet seed question is a
vital one this year, as the German
supply is now cut Off. We can get
seed II We decide on the amount and
place the order for II at once.

MANDoT AND DUNDEE DRAW.
Lghtweights Box Twenty Rounds at
a Terrific Pace.

NEW ORLEANS. February 1a.-Joe
Mandot of New Orleans and Johnny
Dundee of New York fought twenty
rounds to draw here at the West Side
A. G. yesterday afternoon in the fastest
and hardest ring encounter seen here
in many years.
From the start of the first round it
was plain that both boxers were out to
win in the shortest possible space of
time. and Dundee at once took the Of
fensive. Throughout the fight the two
great lightweights kept at it, Dundee
at times boring in and driving Mandot
back to the ropes and at other times
being beaten back with heavy right
uppercuts. which Mandot used effect
lively.
The men were in the pink of condi-
tions. and although each stopped many
smathing blows with his jaw, neither
at any time appeared on the verge of
a knockout and there were no knock
downs.
Mandot showed a much better punch
than he ever has exhibited before.
while the terrific pace which Dundee
cut out and upheld stamps the Italian
as one of the greatest in his class.

INTERNATIONAL HOPES
TO STRENGTHEN CIRCUIT
Magnates Meet to Transfer Jersey
City Franchise-Plan
Emergency Fund.

NEW YORK, February 15.-Although
the playing schedule for 1915 was the
only business before the International
League at it's meeting here today,
plans to strengthen the circuit by
transferring the Jersey City franchise.
and proposal to assess each club
owner $4,000 toward an emergency
fund were to be discussed.
President Edward Barrow was con-
f1dent that objections of the New York
National League club to the transfer
of the Jersey City franchise to the
Bronx would be withdrawn. A posi-
BILE transfer of the Jersey City fran
chise to New England territory also
was being discussed. In this Connec-
tion Hartford. Springfield and Worces-
ter are mentioned as possible locations.
Several measures of economy were eX-
pected to be put into effect.
President Barrow has already notified
every player in the league that there
will be a general reduction in salaries
during the coming season. The number
of players has been cut down to
eighteen, and if need be the limit may
be reduced to sixteen, and it also has
been decided to have only playing man
ayers next season. No contracts have
yet been sent out to the players, al
though the period required by base ball
rule has passed. By special consent Of
the national commission the league
was given until March 1 to send out
its contracts.

NO PLUS HANDICAP.
Ouimet Not Likely to Get Massachu.
sets Rating From u. S. G. A.

NEW YORK, February 1o.-It seems
hardly likely that the United States
Golf Association will follow the exam
pie of the Massachusetts Golf Associa-
ton and rate Francis Ouimet at plus 3
on the national handicap list. Since
the decision of the Massachusetts asso-
citation was announced golfers have
been discussing the unusual honor con-
ferred upon the national amateur
champion by his friends and neigh
bors. and the general opinion seems to
be that the distinction is based more
upon local patriotism than upon any
other standard.
The handicapping system used in
MASSACHUSETTS, is not based on par, as
is the CallkinS system, used by the Z. 5.
G. A. and the Metropolitan Golf Asso-
citation, so Ouimets plus 3 rating in
Massachusetts hardly can be followed
on the national handicap list. There
is no reason why a golfer should not
be rated at better than scratch on the
national list if his golf justifies it-that
Is. if he plays better than par con-
sistently.
So far the L s. G. A. has found no
golfer who could beat par with any
degree of regularity, and none has been
rated at better than scratch since the
first national list was published in 1912.
Ouimet played some excellent golf in
1914, notably in the final of the ma
tional championship at Ekwanok, but
not good enough to give him plus
rating. In 1872 at Wheaton Jerome D..
Travers played even better golf in the
final round for the championship, but
the L. S. G. A. made him scratch man
on the 1918 list.

Tuxedo.

TUXEDO PARK, n. Y, February 10
As a result of brilliant play. Clarence
| c. Pell yesterday afternoon duplicated
his victory of last year. when he again
| won the final in the play for the gold
racquet" defeating his clubmate, STAN
ley G. Mortimer, by three games to one
on the court of the Tuxedo Tennis and
Racquet Club. 1t was the sort OF a
match that brought out all OF the
thrills of the game. for 1t was not until
the last ace that Pelfs victory was
assured. Last year Pell defeated II. F.
Mccormick in the final and yesterdays s
victory gives him his second leg on the
trophy.
In the first game Pell led at the out
set, the score at one point being IL to
4 in his favor; then Mortimer came
through and won by Is to Is. Pell in
game. winning handily by Is to 3, and
the third game also went to him, 10
to 10. The fourth game went to 1S
all. and two additional points were
tie in games. A short bail on the
front court, however. put him out and
Pell on his next two hands in cap
tured the match as a result of his
to 13.
The professional match brought to-
gether Jack Soutar. the professional
Inns of the New York Racquet and Ten
mis- Club. Mullins received five aces in
each game and won the match with
three straight. Soutar did not seem to
be in the best Of form. while the New
Yorker was at the top of his game.
For all it was an interesting and bril-
liant match and one that found favor
with the gallery. The match was the
best three of five games, and Soutar
got % aces to Mullins 80. Deducting
the handicaps, the scores were Is to 3,
Is to 13 and Is to s.
