KENTUCK|AN LOSES
THRESHOLD BOUT
Lewis Throws Drnak, But Fails to Pin
Shoulders of Iinow to
the Mat.

Although Ed Lewis, better known
around here as Stranger" failed in
his effort to down both Ivan Liuow
and Tom Draak in one hour and fifteen
minutes he gave one of the most won
derful exhibitions OF grit and pluck on
the mat ever witnessed by a Richmond
crowd. He succeeded all right in pin
ming the shoulders of Draak to the
canvas. but this fellow Linow was
as elusive as smoke and he failed TO
down the ex-pugilist.
Linow was the first to go on with
Ed. with the understanding that Lewis
was to take on Draak whenever he
desired Linow remained with Lewis
for almost Atty minutes when lot
of unnecessary noise began emanattng
from the secluded spot in which Draak
was sitting and the Kentuckian called
the Belgian TO the mat. Lewis dis
posed OF the last named grappler in
something like twelve minutes. despite
the fact that the local favorite had to
run him a marathon around the mat
for several minutes.
After he had downed the Belgian,
Lewis, although he had reserved the
right to take a rest, started In after
the Russian for the second time with
out a moments let-up. There were
only about four minutes left In which
to throw Linow and, despite the fact
that Lewis got that wicked head hold
on him on two occasions, the task
proved too much for him and the sew
enty-fve minutes ended with Lewis
and the Russian still tossing each
other around on the mat.
Following the match Linow chal-
lenged Lewis for a fnish match, best
two falls out of three. whether this
Is not definitely known up to this time,
but 1t Is very probable that they will
get together in the near future. Should
there be n match to the finish Lewis
will doubtless win in straight falls
over the Russian.

BRITISH SUCCESSOR TO
HASkELl'S GOLF BALL

Kansas City, Jan. 16.-Details of
a proposed invasion of the United
States by British golf ball manufac-
turerers were made known here Sun
day. With the expiration of the Has
kell patent on rubber core balls April
II, 100000 imported balls will be
placed on the American market.
A consignment of 100000 dozen
(2,400,000 balls) will be placed with
a wholesale athletic goods firm in
Kansas City for distribution over the
middle west.
Haskell's rubber core revolution
lied the game of golf fifteen years
ago. Previous to that time, the
game had been played with balls of
solid gutta percha, the material of
which the covers are still made. A
drive of 200 yards was extremely
rare. Sheer physical strength was
one of the most important features of
the game.
1t is a favorite tradition among golf
ers that Haskell stumbled on his in
vention by accident He was a golfer.
and a regular player of hole No. 10
the club house bar. Following night
in which he indulged in his cups
rather freely, Haskell was sitting one
morning in the office Of a friend.
As a consequence of his carouse, his
head ached, and he was extremely
nervous. Abstractedly he picked up
a handful of rubber bands from his
friends desk and began to wind one
around another. Soon he had little
rubber ball. Suddenly it dropped
from his nervous fingers, and to his
great surprise, rebounded nearly the
height of its fall.
Conceives Brilliant Idea.
He bounced it again, and called his
friend to watch.
"That would make a great golf ball"
Haskell remarked. He wound more
rubber bands about the little ball,
and then had gutta percha cover
placed over it. At the earliest op-
portunity he took it with him to the
links.
A little group of golfers had gath
cred about the first tee when Haskell
placed his ball on it's pinch of sand
At this point the tradition becomes

TRAiNLOAD OF BUTTER
EXPORTED TO EUROPE

New York, Jan. 16-As showing the
heavy shipments of food supplies
now being made from this port to
Russia, it was stated Friday that a
special train of twenty-five cars load
ed with butter was rushed here from
Chicago within forty-eight hours in
order to be shipped on board thC
steamer Czaritza and another vessel
leaving yesterday for Russia. The
of this shipment is under
stood to have exceeded all records
for a single consignment. This Is
believed to be the first American
made butter ever shipped to Russia.
Dealers say that America has but
ter to spare and that they are anX.
ious to extend their exports, as the
holdings of storage butter in refriger-
ator plants throughout the country
are heavier than a year ago. The
report of the Associated Warehouses
on January / showed there were in
forty-five leading houses, 39,3SS,0OO
pounds of butter in storge, an in
crease of nearly ten million pounds
over the supply stored one year ago.
