HOWARD DEFEATS ! PAINTERS AFTER A LONG, HARD BATTLE
Sensational Fielding and Good Pitching Grips Big Crowd of Fans-NOr-,
 ton Stars

In one of the most fiercely contested games seen in Birmingham this year Howard defeated Birmingham Southern college yesterday afternoon 1 to O, after II innings of play. The closeness Of the battle and the heroic efforts put forth by each team gripped the large crowd of spectators throughout and not until the great eleventh inning climax did a single runner threaten to cross the pan.
 Both sides played fast, snappy ball, and both pitchers worked in grand form, holding the opposition helpless when hits meant runs. Nortons stick work and fielding featured the Panthers' play, while the fielding of McLane and New man for Howard was of the stellar va riety.
 The score:

 Defeat at the hands of John h. Sul- livan was terrific blow to the, pride of Jake Kilrain. The angular chal- lenger always had felt that if he "got a crack" at Sullivan he could win with out much trouble. The chance came to him on that hot day in July in 1883
 and Kilrain failed.
 There might have been soma solace for Kilrain in the fact that he lasted longer with Sullivan than had any liv- ing man. There was balm, too, in the fact that twice during the fight victory apparently was in his grasp. But per- haps such thoughts, if they ever oc- cured to Kilrain. were overba lancsd by the memory that he had executed at least two collosal "boners" and had thrown away the opportunities to be- come heavy weight champion under London prize ring rules.
 But although beaten, Kilrain was not disgraced. He continued to be in great demand as a drawing card in NdIiOQS parts Ol iHe country. DON was enjoying considerable of a boom at that time and many offers were made to Big Jake" But for some months after the Mississippi fight Xiii rain devoted his time to resting up He certainly needed it after those 76 rounds of milling with John l.,

House Committee on Agri-

Appropriation
A COMPROMISE
WITH ADMINISTRATION
Continuation of ALI Powers of Food and
Fuel Control Acts Will Not Be Al
Iowed-Governm Can Deal Only in
Wheat and Wheat Products.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 'S-Extension to
cover the marketing of the 1920 wheat
crop of most of the provisions of the food
control act has been virtually decided
upon by the house committee on agricul-
ture and will be embodied in bill to be
introduced in the next few days
The measure will appropriate revolv
ing fund of 81 ,OO0, 100000 to be used by
the president or such agency as he may
name, i'll whole or in part, to make good
the guaranty of 1926 bushe for wheat
of the 1918 and 1919 crops. The machin-
cry by which this is to be accomplished
will be left entirely to the discretion of
the president, though he will be restricted
| specifically to wheat and wheat products
in the exercise of the powers extended.
| The policy adopted represents a compro-
mise between the demands of the admins
tration for continuation of all the pow
ers contained in the food and fuel acts,
with additional powers with respect to
leasing, purchasing and building of ele.
vators and warehouses, and the demand
of the grain dealers that the government
make good the guaranty to the farmers
at its source and permit the grain to fol
low normal channels of trade from that
point.
The license powers contained in the
food control act are extended in SO fan
as they apply to wheat and wheat prod

export and import provisions No author
ity is given for the control of grain ele
