BOSTON. July IA - The New Eng

won it's fight with the Boston firms
handling the output. At a conference
of the directors held in this city yes
terday H. p Hood & Sons, one of the
three big Boston dealers, agreed to meet
the demands of the association in full if
the producers would give the firm until
August l instead of July Is, the date
originally named. The association
granted this concession and there win
be no strike by the producers on the
18th as was planned if their demands

from the war.
There will be no absolute embargo
against the expectation of foodstuffs to
any neutral country, but the amount of
supplies any neutral receives will be
governed by the extent of that ncutrafs
trade in foodstuffs with Germany. The
exports council will ascertain for instance,
the amount of Dutch expectations Of
foodstuffs to Germany. The next item win
be to discover whether Holland has ex-
ported to Germany foodstuffs that she
might have consumed herself or sold to
Entente Powers So long as Holland con
ducts any commerce with Germany what
ever she must consume her own foodstuffs
to the utmost extent before expecting to
obtain supplies from America.
! 1t is realized that Holland cannot, for
instance, consume all the cheese she man
, ufactures, and it will not be required OF
her that she cease to, traffic in cheese, de
stroyng her surplus product 1t Is ad
mitted that such requirement on the part
of the United States would be unfair. But
it would not be unfair, it is held, f.,
America to refuse to furnish the means
for Holland to increase her dairy stocks
SO that she might increase her cheese out
put. and thus increase her trade with Ger
many by means of the purchase q cdttl'

Daughter Daily

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE wife of
Alfredo Cocchi, under arrest in Italy for
the murder of Ruth Cruger last Febru-
airy, was witness YESTERDAY before the
grand jury which is investigating the
laxity of the police in connection with

for Mrs. Cocchi, she told the jury that
two detectives called on her frequently
after her husband disappeared and when
she asked them one day if they really
believed he killed Miss Cruger zone of
them replied:
''No. The Crugers know where their
daughter is and Mrs. Cruger goes out in
an automobile every day to see her. -

Gus said, that she tried to hire private
detective to follow Mrs. Cruger and thus
establish Cecchi's innocence.

SIX-DAY "BIKE" RACE
A A42-YEAR-OLD SPORT

New York. Nov. 11.-Interest in the
stxfday bicycle race is growing apace.
The annual event will be held at Madi-
son Square Garden the week of De-
cember to s. While sporting devo-
tees have attended these grinds in
New York's historic amphitehater for
more than a generation-this is to be
the twenty-ffth renewal f'the event
few know that the six-day grind origi-
mated in Europe more than forty years
ago. Six-ray bicycle races date from
about 1915, when a day
affair was held in Birmingham, Eng
land. a little while later one OF
eighteen hours day was held in Lon
don. The first invasion of America
took place in 1879. Peter Duryet and
Jack Haverly brought over a team
from Europe and gave exhibitions and
rode six-day races, of three and six
hours day. on roller skating floors

ONE REASON WHY
GOLF IS POPULAR

New York. Nov. 11.-Golf is the one
game where the individual is supreme
No matter how poorly one man plays,
the other cannot win unless he HIM
self plays better. The mistakes of
one player do not themselves rid the
other unless he avoids making the
same or other errors.
The tennis player scores when the
other player drives out of bounds or
into the net. The football team tall
lies when the punt is droped or the
ball is fumbled. A dropped fly ends
many a baseball game when victory
seems sure for the other side. And so
on in every sport but one, and that
is golf.
If the one golfer drives out of
bounds or tops his drive or shoots
into trap the other man benefits not
at all unless ne plays better golf.

critics and ballplayers who feared he

Not that George hadn't been a smart

not that he wasn't a good fellow-but
Morry was regared as a man with a

But as the season rounded out and
Morry was grinding out game after
