POWDER SPRINGS CREAM
ROUTE IS GREAT SUCCESS

The Powder springs cream route
which was organized in July to mar
ket the surplus cream for the far
mers has proven a success. The far
mers received during August 25e a
pound for their butterfat after the
expenses were deducted. Butter sold
locally for s to 20 cents a pound
during the same time. AS every one
knows August is bad time to keep
cream in good condition and the
price will be better for the cream
shipped in September.
The farmers received $9S.40 cash
for their cream in August. Notice
we say they received this amount
in cash. Any one who has ever done
a credit business knows that the
time price" as it is called, is usual
ly one fourth to one half higher
than the cash price" In other
words $98.40 would buy as much
food and clothing as you would get
on time for 1925 to $140. Every
thinking farmer knows he can't ex-
pect to save any money until he is
in position to pay cash for what
he buys. No business man would
expect to be successful if he Dor
rowed money at 1870 to $50 inter
est. Isn't it folly for the farmer to
expect to succeed when he pays the
merchant 25Rs to 400 on his time
purchases? The cream route gives
you cash each month. 1t makes you
independent
On the other hand the cream
route is helpful to the merchant for
instead of farmer buying $3.50 to
$500 worth of goods ON time he will
if he has the money, spend $500
with the merchant to give his fam
lily the necessities and comforts of
life which they deserve The mer-
chant gets cash for his goods and can
turn" his money several times a
year. This makes it possible for
him to reduce his percentage of
profit on each sale and still make as
much or more money than when he
sold on time.

grown feed furnishing a cash in
come each month is also excellent

REPORT KNABE
TO BE BOUGHT
BY THE YANKS

Baltimore, jan .1s-Itt was learned
yesterday from reliable source that
Otto Knabe, manager of the local
Federals, has been recommended as
second baseman to the New York
Yanks, and that serious consideration
is being given to the purchase of the
former Terrapin leader. Some time
ago. it was said that Philadelphia
would take back its former second
sacker, but Manager Moran came
through with a statement to the effect
that he would have no players on his
club who jumped the Phil1ies to go
to the Feds.
The fact that Lee Magee has been
purchased by the Yanks will not in
terfere with the purchase of Knabe.
Magee, WILL in all probability, be used
in the outf1eld- Knabe's contract has
another year to run. Local officials
said they had nothing to say about
Knabe going to the Yankees.

WINS
FROM zBYSZKO
IN MAT BOUT

New York, Jan. 18-Follow1ngl up
his victory over DR.. Roller on iSatur-
day night, Robert Frederick, alias
''Strangler Lewis,' accomplished the
unexpected last night at the Manhat-
tan Opera House by downing Wladek
Zbyszko, the young Polish Hercules,
in one hour twenty-seven minutes and
seven seconds. 1t was the first de-
feat sustained by Zbyszko and he
walked off the stage with his head
hanging.
The bout was one of the greatest
ever staged since the tournament be-
gan. The men were about evenly
matched, and as the match progressed
it began to look as if it would termi-
nate without a decision, but al body
hold obtained by Zbyszko was his un-
doing. After obtaining the body hold,
the Polish wrestler lifted Lewis off
the floor and began swinging him
around in the air.
Twelve times Zbyszko swung Lewis
around and then finally allowed him
to fall to the floor. Zbyszko fell on top
of his ,conqueror, but Lewis broke the
hold, and as quick as a flash rolled his
opponent over. Then he fell on him,
at the same time securing a, deadly,
waist hold. A little more Juggling and
Lewis had Zbyszko's shoulders
squarely on the mat. One glance and
Referee Bothner blew his whistle, de-
noting a victory for. Lewis.
This is the first time that Zbyszko
has been thrown in a tournament. In
the last tournament he held Alexan-
der Aberg even, but was beaten in a.
finish match at the Garden. By Vir-
tue of his victories over Roller and
Zbyszko, Lewis is now picked as the
winner of the tournament.

AHEARM TO MEET
GIBBONS TONIGHT

St. Paul, Jan 1s@The request of
local promoters for permission to
grant a referees decision in the 10
round bout between Mike Gibbons
and Young Ahearn here tonight " was
denied by the Minnesota Boxing Com
mission at meeting, late yesterday.
The commission issued a, special Ii
cense permitting Jack McGuigan of
Philadelphia to referee.
Light gymnasium workouts were all
that Gibbons and Ahearn had on their
program yesterday. Both are well
under weight, and in, shape for their
10-round bout
Ahearn seems TO be perturbed over
the predictions OF the critics of the
Twin Cities. who in reviewing the
probabilities, concede him little chance
to win from Gibbons.
Ahearn asserts that not enough
stress has been laid ON his improve
merf in the las two years, and that
rnear in the last two years, and their
placed on what GIBBONS has done in
the past.

The facts were brought out at an

Four OF these professionals were

GRIFFITH THINKS HE
WILL HAVE BETTER GREW
aOF HITTERSNHIS YEAR

y washington, Jan. 18-Manager
Griffith is optimistic as to his teams
hitting strength in the next cam
paign. He believes the aggregation
campaign will show much superiority
over last years outfit
Griffith bases this prediction on the
fact that he figures to have three or
four youngsters in the lineup who will
hit better than the players whose
places they are to take. He is certain
that Judge will prove a more valua-
bic hitter than did Gandi1, explaining
the fact that GandiI led the team in
driving in runs by citing that Chic
batted in the cleanup position in the
batting order, where he had more
opportunities to drive in runs than
any of the others.
Barber is another youngster whom
Griffith picks to hit over the 900
mark in the next campaign, while he
is certain that Jamison and Clyde
Milan will both show Improvement in
their hitting. Milan suffered a severe
handicap last season. because he did
not get himself in good condition until
the season was we'll under way. The
popular center fielder blamed his fail
ure to play up to his usual brilliant
form in the early games to the fact
that he did not relish the climate at
Charlottesville, where the cold played
havoc with his training.
Next spring he is to spend a couple
Of weeks at Hot Springs, Ark, to-
gether with Walter johnson and
George Mcbride, and he expects to be
in better shape when he reports than
he was at any time during the first
two months of the last campaign.
Gedeon, it is hoped, was showing
true batting form last season on the
Pacific coast, where he made an av-
erage of .313 in which event he
would prove a. big improvement over
any regular second baseman Griffith
ever has had.
Griffith wants to play Eddie Foster
at third if possible, for there is no
question that he is of more value to
the base, in that position than at sec
ond base, though. of course, in due
