m A N ACER is
READY TO co

Billy Speas, the. youngest base
ball manager that Tacoma has
seen in many a season, dropped
off a Portland train in Tacoma
last evening, ready to pilot the
Tigers to victory during the 1918
season. Speas came just in time
for the Eagles smoker, and since
he is a great fight fan he hoped
right to the chance of landing a
ringside berth.
Speas Is 80 years Of age, but he
looks more like %. He is a gin.

pep written all over him. His
experience in the Northwestern
and Coast leagues has given him
a good knowledge OF this part of
the country, and he Is all ready
to get into the game with vim.
The two Pillett brothers,
Heinie Menthe, Jake Messner and
George SCHNEIDER, Tiger players,
are already in Tacoma, and 9th

FRANK FARMER
WINS TITLE OF
PACIF'ICCOAST

Frank Farmer - light
heavyweight champion Of the
Pacific coast!
The big Kapowsin logger
reached the pinnacle of his
career last night at TahOma
hall, when he decisively beat
y cty King, tough Australian
hu' or, and annexed the coast
til which King recently took
from Ohet Mcintyre.
Farmer has been boxing around
Tacoma and the Northwest for q
half dozen years or more, but this
Is the first title he has ever at
tanned. And it is notable to re.
member that Frank didn't become
a champion until after he had
been married year and half
and had become the proud father
of ii Growing youngster!
There WAS no camOuflage
about farmers victory over
the clever Australian last
night. The logger-boxer show

punches in the clinches.
Farmer was faster than we
have ever seen him. King de-
served great credit for staying on
his feet the full six rounds, for
he took an unmerciful amount of
punishment, without returning
much of 1t. In the fifth round,
which was a ferocious piece of
milling, King flopped to the canvas
with right to the jaw, but bob
bed un again in a moment as tho
the blow had never phased him.
When it Is considered that
King has defeated every other
Northwestern boxer whom he
has met, and that Farmer is
the only man WHO could even
get a draw with him hereto
fore, the victory Is that much
greater.
Marty Foley received an
undeserved decision over
Battling AL Nelson, q tough

Francisco. II was q hard bat
tie from start to finish, both

hard and too experienced for

Marty should not have re-
ceived more than draw with

Russians Back to Barter.

The lack of money and the great
depreciation of the Russian ruble have
compelled the soviet government to re-
sort to the primitive form of trade
exchange of goods. This form has
been applied in Russia in a limited de-
gree, because of lack of manufactured
articles, the government giving the
peasants agricultural machinery,
leather goods, nails, matches and other
such ne~cessaries and receiving the
equivalent value in grain. 1t is the in
tention of the soviet department Of
food to introduce the exchange of
goods system into international trade,
and for this purpose 1t sent a special
emissary to Norway to negotiate with
the Norwegian government.

MEAT COOL AND Res

The proper time to begin cur
ing pork is when the meat is
cooled and is still fresh. TWEEN
ty-four to 80 hours after killing
is the opportune time. 1t is es-
sential that the pork be thor
oughly cooled. Meat should
never be frozen either prior to
or during the period Of curing.
A clean hardwood molasses or
strip barrel is a suitable vessel
in which to cure pork. The bar
rel should be clean and tight so
as to prevent leakage. A large
stone or metal jar is the best
container in which to cure meat,
but the initial cost is high. Stone
or some metal containers are
very easily kept clean. If a bar
rel is used repeatedly for cur
ing pork it is necessary to scald
it out thoroughly before fresh
pork Is packed into it.
