WINS
 AT BOWIE TRACK

Bowie, Md, Nov BOA heavy track upset the calculations of the race goers in several of the events today, but the Brussels Handicap, at mile, which was the feature of the card, was run true to form, though to slow time. The Meadow Brook Stock Farms Kashmir, which has been per forming consistently, was well suited by the track conditions, and after Koh-i-Noor had shot her bolt, went to the front to win handily from Drum mond. The latter is a two yeo-' old, and his showing was excellent, con- sidering the trying nature of the going.
 Long shots monopolized the places in the first two events. Tidal and Hurricane, first and second in the opener, both being sold in the field. In the second race, also for two year oIds, Prevaricate, a winner at eX- trmeIy long odds earlier in the week, repeated, but yesterday he paid only 12 to 1. The Dauphin, which ran second, was almost neglected in the mutuals, 8 place investment of s2 netting $72.9O.
 c. Robinson caused somewhat of 9 sensation by piloting the winners of the last TWO races. Go1dcrest Boy and Broom Peddler, both at good odds.

GIANTS ABANDON MARLIN AS EARLY
 TRAINING CAMP
Hot Springs Likely To Be Chosen After Many
 Years ill Texas.

After training in Marlin for eleven successive years the Giants next spring will pass up the Texas resort. While it has been settled definitely that the Giants will not train in Mar lin again, no other camp has been designated. The team in all proba- bility will do it's conditioning at Hot Springs, Ark.
 It was rumored in Marlin last spring that 1t would be the last time that the New York Nationals would appear there, but it was not known until yesterday that the Giants definitely had decided to break away from Mar lin. They visited there for the first time in 1908 and went back in every succeeding year. Few ! other clubs ever stuck to the one training camp as long as the Giants stood by Marlin.
 The New York Nationals were the only club which held title to it's own training field. After the Giants had visited at Marlin for five years they received title to Emerson field.
 Even in the small town of Marlin the Giants eventually ceased to be an attraction. The hotel where the team had been stopping was run down and poorly managed, and among the older Giants Marlin was as popular as 8 Boche in Paris. Larry Doyle and Art Fletcher will shed many crocodile tears when they hear that next March's marching orders do not call for visit to Marlin
 John McGraw looked over Hot | Springs, Ark, last spring before he 1 went to Marlin and considered it for training possibilities. Hot Springs long has been favorite training spot : and it Is capable of taking care of q number of teams. Pittsburg, however abandoned 1t in 1916 after training there for fifteen successive years. | The Boston Red Sox, with whom the Giants will make 8. joint tour in the spring, usually do their training in Hot Springs. though this year Frazee Is beseiged with offers for his worlds champ1onS, coming from places as far distant as California and Florida
 John Foster also has received sev- era} propositions to go to Florida, but in all probability the two teams vii york out at adjoining parks in Ho- 4 Springs and open their series witt

IN THE SPORT WORLD
JOHNSON DOUBTS
 TAFT WILL ACCEPT

Chicago, Nov. 30--When Harry H. Frazee, president of the Boston Amer jeans, and H. w. Hampstead, president of the New York National club, offer ed William H. Taft the post of "one man national baseball commission" they acted without proper authority, Ban Johnson, president of the Ameri- can League, declared in a statement yesterday in his return from the East.
 Johnson said: There are no two individuals in baseball who know less of the national agreement and the rules governing the commission than Messrs. Hampstead and Frazee."
 While the American League execu- tive did not indicate that he would oppose the selection of former Presi- dent Taft he asserted that when Mir Taft thoroughly understands the du- ties he did not believe he would covet the assignment"
 The two gentlemen who approach ed Mir. Taft acted without authority" Johnson said. From the statement made by MT. Taft at New Haven he plainly indicated that they had given him no conception of the class of work he would be required to perform. Messrs. Hampstead and Frazee were in no manner qualified to advise him as to the scope of the commission and the quality of it's work.
 T have tremendous regard for MT. Taft, as I have known him since my boyhood days, and no one is bet ter fitted to maintain the high stand ard of baseball than MT. Taft. He would be a valuable adjunct to our national sport. But I feel constrained to say that when he understands thoroughly the duties he will not covet the assignment"

DAmYsIENs LEAGUE NEWS.
League Gets s4.Os for December Min
Epairvmen,s League.I

lDd1rymenS League.
 The Dairymen's League has secured from Judge Lamb, representing the United States Food Administration, approval of the price of $4.06 for three per cent. milk at the 140-150 mile zone for December. This price has also been accepted by the deal CTS, and represents costs of produc- ton for the dairymen as figured by the Warren Formula.
 The sixty thousand members of the League will heave a sigh of relief for now that the war is ended they were determined that they could no long, CT produce milk for less than 1t cost. The approval of the December price founded on the Warren Formula by the Food Administration is in itself an admission that the dairymen were right in their claims in October and November. for they only asked then costs as determined by the Warren Formula.
 The claim made by the dairymen that the base price should be fixed at 250 miles from New York instead Of 150 miles and that the price eyond
 
 the 400 mile zone, is to be settled be- fore January 1. The dairymen main- tain that the base price should be de- termined near the center of milk production which is approximately 250 miles from New York. The Food Administration is invest igating the evidence for these claims and so far it shows that the farmers arc right.
 There is considerable excitement in the cities over the high price of milk and it's products No doubt the prices do seem high to the con svrler, hut they are no higher in proportion than prices of other foods l and as far as the farmers price is concerned, it is none too high. Grain, hay, labor and all the items that go i to produce a hundred pounds of milk have increased much faster in the last two years than has the price of milk.
 i The high prices are all a part of a i great cycle. Labor prices have in creased by leaps and bounds and l therefore labor and other consumers l must pay sooner or later for an in crease in everything else, for labor l is the great Fundamental. The cycle i is just getting around to milk. In the meantime many farmers have been ! producing milk at a loss.

While cad of the Admiralty he came in for 1uch criticism of his conduct of naval fairs, but many are of the opinion nat much could have been brought onward in his defense that had to be eft unsaid at the time because ex- llanations might have revealed secrets the enemy.

TOWN ] HAS \ LOCAL
 FOOD DIRECTOR
Food Administrator SeoViIIe Or ganizes 16s Connecticut Towns for New Food
 Conservation Drive.

News of the war ending is apt to result in a general relaxation of war work on the part of patriotic people in Connecticut. Federal Food Adminis- trator Robert ScoviIle, however, is daily pointing out that more than ever intensive food conservation of all sorts Is more necessary than at any time since the United States entered the war.
 The 1e1S-1919 winter program agreed upon by MT. Hoover and the control lers of the Allies called for even great CT conservation of all kinds of food stuffs than a year ago. Now, with many more millions of starving people liberated and begging the victorious nations, especially the United States, for foodstuffs which they have not had in years, the real conservation work of the Food Administration must be shown.
 Although most of the 16S towns of Connecticut have had local food direc- tors for some time, MT. Scoville has decided that Connecticut can best do it's part in this new big food conserva- tion campaign by complete organiza- tion of all the towns in Connecticut. He has just issued the following list of local food directors in Connecticut ::

Joe Choynski and Jim Jeffries fought a 20-round draw on this date in 1897, the scene of the affair being San Francisco. This was a battle that will long be remembered by Cal ifornia fans of the old school. The giant boilermaker then had only four bouts under his belt, and was clumsy novice at the game, while Choynski was a clever veteran who had been banging away at the best of them for more than ten years. Jeff weighed 220 pounds, Joe over 50 pounds less For ten rounds Choynski hammered away at the giant almost at will, and in the tenth landed a blow square on the jaw that should have sent Jeff straight to dreamland. But 1t didn't. Having given Jeff the best he had in stock, without effect Choy- nskl grew tired and diEeoufag ged, and Jim assumed the aggressive and fought so earnestly as to win a draw. The Los Angeles mans showing was a, great surprise to the San Francisco sports, who had expected Joe to cut the big fellow into strips. Within 1S months Jeff was champion

SPORTING NOTES

The country having come success fully through one war, Charlie Com iskey, owner of the Chicago Ameri- cans, doesn't see why organized base ball should start another one just because the minor leagues decided recently that the ma$sr leagues should draft no more of their play CTS. And the minors, who seem to have been looking for the scrap,- we'll they'll calm down, when they think of what hostilities might do to their bank rolls. Baseball will have a hard time as it is to get straighten- ed out again, and a war between the leagues at this time may decide the fans to look elsewhere for their re- taxation. Besides, everybody has had enough war for a long time to come. If you don't believe 1t, ask the Germans.

 Many of the greatest ring chain pionship contests of the last haIf cen tury have been staged in New Or leans and it's immediata vicinity. John L. won the big titlg from Pad dy Ryan at Mississippi City, not far from the soutb}arn metropolis, de- fended it against Jake Kilra1n at 1 fi'h't'urg, Miss, and lost 1t to Jim Corbett in a Crescent City ring.
 At an earlier period the neighbor-
 hood of New Orleans was the scene
 of Jem Maces two great combats for
 the American championship. The
 clever English gypsy, although only
 a middleweight, had fought his way ito the top of the heap in England,
 and had earned the reputation of be-
 ing the most scientific fighter the
 ring had ever seen. He came to
 America in 1869, and the following
 year fought and defeated Tom Allen,
 another Englishman at KennerviIle,
 La., near New Orleans.
 Jem's right to the title was dis
 puted by native American, Joe
 Coburn and in 1871 Mace and Co.,
 burn were matched to fight in Cana
 I
 championship. The Dominion author
 ities did not take kindly to the pro-
 ject, and stopped the arrangements
 The men were again matched, the date being set for November 30, 1871
 and the place to be within one hun. |. dred miles of New Orleans. It wa.
 just forty-seven years ago today tha' Mace and Coburn set out from New Orleans for the scene of battle, witt , a large following of sports, many O. whom had come from New York I The site chosen was at Bay St. Louis I Miss, and there the ring was pitched t Col. Rufus Hart, a prominent NeV P Orleans sportsman, was named a : referee, and Col. Flube Hunt, als' S prominent in Crescent City sporting I dlldIISI was tl6 StdhelioAuSr'
 = Although the battle lasted nearl, f four hours, 1t was disappointin n affair to the 500 fans who had as
 sembled to witness the festivities. Il 6 the first round Mace severely injure d one of his wrists, and from that tim - on had to fight on the defensive @ while Coburn, ignorant of the caus - of Mace's lack of spirit, and fearin q trick, did not take advantage 0 l. his opportunity. After the men ha t been fighting three hours. Col. liar , told them to get busy or he woul l. stop tho affair.
