President Edward c. Barrow, OF

Thursday night that any announce

least. No such step could be taken,
he said, without the consent Of the
international league and he denied
that the organization he heads had
been approached on the subject.
President Hickey Of the American
association, in making the announce

two championship schedules instead
of meeting the International league
clubs in the post season series. The
schedules will consist OF II games

LEW EDWARDS. the former
featherweight champion of Eng
- land, now holds the lightweight
championship of Australia. having
won the title from Herb Mccoy when
he knocked out the Antipodean in the
20th round, just fourteen seconds be-
fore the termination OF the contest.
It was a sensational finish. as up 10
that time both boys had put up a re-
markably good battle and it did not
look as though Edwards would stop
the champion. However, he managed
to put over a terrific wallop Just as
the final round was nearing the end
time when his seconds and manager
were getting things ready TO make
for the dressing room
II was the sixth time the boys
had met in the ring. each one OF
which had been most interesting
to the fans of both Sydney and
Melbourne. Edwards had been In
Australia over the required twelve
months to give him the right to
battle for the championship and
the belt.
The English boy had knocked out
Mccoy on February 10 last Il in IS
rounds. but II was claimed at the
time by Mccoy and his friends that il
was due in part to fluke. The same
claim might be made for the last one,

ate is debating the first bill. already
passed by the house. which provides
for a food survey, and activities to
stimulate production and conserve
fOodstuffs.
The house committee has closed all
hearings on the new bill and tomorrow
will begin considering it section by
section. Urged strongly by the pres
ident. Secretary Houston and Herbert
c. Hoover, the bill sets up complete
machinery for full control of food sup
ply and distribution. 1t would prevent
boarding. speculation and mon opOly of
foodstuffs, authorize standardization OF
all food products and provide regula-
ton OF grain going into the mannfac-
ture of beer and whiskey. or the CONF

The bill provides Il guarantee to the
farmer of a minimum price for his
products and also provides that to
break up a corner or prevent eXtortion
a maximum price may be fixed, this
maximum, however. not applying to
the farmer A fight in the house is
said to be likely over the minimum
and maximum provision.
In extreme cases the government
would be empowered to take over and

The bill gives the president abso-

or other agency, leaving that to the
