 FIGHT RESULTS

Geneva, December 7.-Honoro Pueyrre- don, head of the Argentine delegation, just before his departure for Paris tonight in- formed the Associated Press that Argen- tinas withdrawal from the assembly probably would be followed shortly by a formal declaration of it's intention to leave the league.
 The only condition under which Ar gentina will resume her place is the adoption of her four proposals in sub stance" said Senor Pueyrredon. "Argen- tina's notification of her desire to quit the league entirely may be construed as dating from the day we left the assembly, and unless the assembly acts favorably on my amendments Argentina will de- clare herself out of the league at the expiration of two years, as provided in the covenant"

Adoption of One-

 For at Meeting g

Gainesville, Fla, December 7.-Adoption of the one-year rule, barring of summer baseball for money, and coordination of track meet rules will be the chief sub lects to be discussed at the annual meet ing of the Southern Intercollegiate Ath- ietie- association, beginning here Decem- Der 10, according to advance informa- tion.
 Reports indicate that practically all rep resentatives of the universities and col leges that are members of the associa- tion favor uniformity in track meet rules. and the one-year rule and the summer baseball question are expected to preci- pitate lively argument.
 The one-year rule would bar a student from intercollegiate athletics until he had been in college a year. Present reg ulations of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association permit college men to play summer baseball for money pro- +,yided they are not members of a baseball club in a professional league.
 The executive committee of the associa- tion is expected to meet here the night of December 9, and the general meeting will continue through Saturday, Decem- Der H.

 However, there will be the usual bunch of recruits to report for the team and Coach Meyers should be able to mold together quite a strong aggregation. In addition to the new ones, there will be a goodly bunch of last years scrubs to report again this year.

When Bryce Cardigan walked down
the gangplank at the steamship dock
In San Francisco, the first face he saw
among the waiting crowd was Buck
Ogilivy's. Ogilvy thrust forth a great
speckled paw for Bryce to shake.
Bryce ignored 1t.
"Why, don't you remember me?"
Ogilivy demanded. "Tm Buck Ogillvy."
Bryce looked him fairly in the eye
and favored him with lightning wink.

COWBOYING ALUCRATIVE
PROFESSION, SAYS ROGERS

Eight years ago Will Rogers was
swinging a lariat in vaudeville and
giving his jaws an unusual amount
of fine exercise chewing gum. Oc-
casionally he made a wise crack
He needed no motor truck to haul
away his weeks salary on Saturday
night.
Today when he froics for Mr.. Zicg-
field on the New Amsterdam Roof or
frivols for the same manager in the
"Follies" he collects a weekly stipend
comparable to all the war debts.
Which probably goes TO show that
cowboying is one of the more lucra-
tive professions, along with market
ing sugar and shoes.
The reason Rogers is worth all

CEORCIA'S PEACH CROP
FAR BELOW STANDARD
Late Season and Presence of Worms
Cause Buyers to Reduce

Lateness of the season, and the

crop to fall far below earlier expec-

yesterday.
Shipments UP to July 10 reached
only about one-half the total OF the
same date in 1919. For the past two
weeks the peaches arriving at con-
suming centers have shown wide
range in condition and as result
the trade at shipping points have
been slow to buy, especially under
prevailing conditions. The larger
factors were selling Georgia accep.
tance"
About July 6, worms appeared in a
great many orchards and have caused
heavy damage. Many contracts have
been Cancelled because of the con-
dition of the fruit. Conditions
in the Fort Valley, Byron, Mar
shallville and Reynolds districts are
not encouraging at present.
Whether the crop of Elbertas COM
ing on shortly will show good con-
dition is a question. The Elberta
crop right now seems to be the sole
hope of a satisfactory season. The
