 Wrestler.

Youngstown, O., Feb. 1.-The Youngstown boxing and wrestling commission took action yesterday, barring "Strangler' Lewis, the Chi cago wrestler. from appearing in con tests here, following presentation of a formal protest by Alex Thomas, wrestling promoter, charging LeWls with failure to appear for scheduled bout here last week.
 The commission also drafted a let ter to all municipal boxing commits sionSs. in Ohio asking their co-opera- ton in barring Lewis from appearing in the state.
 Lewis non-appearance last week was his second offense here. He had signed articles to appear ed hours in advance of the hour for last week s exhibition. The match was called off when he sent a substitute.

 ELIS' SPRING CALL
Oarsmen and Baseball Candidates Out in Greater Force Than Ever

- New Haven, Feb. 1.-Two hundred husky men who have passed some of their leisure time in the Yale gym nasium in the last two months have begun to season as regular candidates for two of the universitys major sport rGanizations-the crew and the base ball team. The official call for candi dates to report was music to the ears of the oarsnen and the ball tossers.
 Crew men and diamond athletes will be out in greater numbers than ever before. Last year Yale did the unexpected in both branches of sport by defeating Harvard on the Thames and both Harvard and Princeton at baseball. These victories have gone d long way iowa rd creating the old Vale lighting spirit for positions in the shell and on the ball field. e.y.
 Under the direction of Capt Churchill Peters crew candidates yes terday began rleir early season paces. They arc expected to be rid of their body and muscle stiffness when Guy Nickalls takes hold as coach on March l. on which date weather per hitting, they will do their first out door rowing on the Housatonic river at Derby

His success was marked. He was assistant coach under Nickalls when the .latters.Was called to Eng land and therefore there was little something of fhas Nicka'ls system, in his coachings {@sr+ #f [
 Nickalls will find many experienced oarsnlen. on hand when he resumes work. .g4 sEarlga Indications are that Yale will tlaSs even a better eight than last saear,s..a,..
 Announcement of the booking Of Columbiay fora Henley distance race with Yale on the Derby course has created ;. gre4t deal of interest. Co ium bia defeated Yale on the harbor the last time the two crews met and as the race on April T with the Morninssidc men will be the only home event more than ordinary in terest and importance attaches to the race.
 Attempt to lensthen the Derby course will not be made this year according to the Yale rowing author ities. There are two bends in the short course and to lenGthen 1t with two additional bends would not be to the best advantage of the oars men, The course could be straight ened out in time, but the work will not be tackled this year. In the course of a year or two it may be that four mile races will be rowed on the Housatonic. 1aless training will be devided between the Housatonic river and the harbor.
 Under the direction of Billy Lau- der, the old Giant third baseman and Capt. Tom" Sawyer a hundred can slidates for the baseball team will re- port in the cage. They will have six weeks of indoor training before the Easter trip.

MOULTON

Moulton, October 26. - (Special.) - Slig h t showers me Monday enough to settle the heavy fog of dust that has been flying for the past sew eral weeks and to cool the atmosphere, but not enough, it is thought, to do serious damage to the cotton in the fields, or. perhaps to better the short water supply at many of the gins and mills in the county. It is estimated by County Demonstration Agent J. F. Ysrbrough that fully seventy five per cent of the cotton crop is gathered and that not more than ten per cent of that gathered has been sold to date. Almost all the farmers are holding for better prices. The corn crop is good in the county--far above the average. and while reports come that it is selling in some Tlaces for dollar bushel or less, the buyer finds that $125 to $50 is the best he can find for sale.
 That apples may be a profitable pro- duct easily grown in Lawrence county has been demonstrated by County Dem onstration Agent John F. Yarbrough this year. He and partner leased a forty-acre apple orchard of the Wheel CT estate and from it they have sole about 700 bushels of Winesap and other varieties of fruit at prices ranging from 50 cents to s2.5o bushel in De- catur, Tuscumbia and Sheffield. Owing to inability to secure spraying material full number of sprayings were not made. but in spite of that fact good ] product was placed on the market.
 The public schools of Lawrence coua- ty are to open Monday November 8. following a two-day institute to be 1 held in Moulton on the 4th and 5th of the month. The institute is to be con ducted by Miss Danylu Belser from the department of education. Montgomerv.. At present about 1s0 of the 130 teach-' CTS required for the schools have been secured with prospect of getting ai' vacancies filled by the middle of De
 cember.

HARDING 4DEF|NES'
 LEAGUE POSITION
By Associated Pres.

Boston, October 8.-Senator Harding defined his position on the League of Nations in a letter to Mrs. Anna c. Bird, chairman of the woman's division of the republican state committee of Mas sachusetts, which was made public to- night.
 T do not know what words + could use, the letter said, ito make more clear the statement which I have made repeatedly that it is our open purpose that America shall do her part for an association with other nations te krinG about understanding and agreements in the interest of the preservation of peace and in the just and peaceful settlement of questions which might otherwise iu- volve resort to war in their adjust ment. I have made my own purpose in this connection. plain in every speech which I have made in the campaign.
 America should of course, have its full part in every worthy movement for the peace and the fraternization and well-being and proress of all the peo- pies of the world, but we, ourselves should decide the character and extent of our contribution, and we should not surrender our own peace, our control of our own desitines and the guardianship of either our liberty or our conscience to any other nation or combination of na- tions. Our platform expresses this idea. wholly and clearly; the candidates have reiterated it in every public utterance.

FOR new ORDER
Or. J. H. Scott Predicts Great
Future Under Leadership Of
Young Christians.
MILLIONS FOR NEW SCHOOLS.
BaptIsts to Spend Huge Sum to Give
Christian Training to Young Men
and Women Of Japan.

Religious leaders In America are
watching with interest the struggle CO.
ing on In Japan between the military
and the progressive parties, accord
ing to DR.. j. H. Scott, of the American
Baptist Foreign Mission Society who
Is preparing to return to Japan after
years furlough. For twenty-seven
years Dr. Scott has been in the Flow
cry Kingdom and II is partly on his
recommendation that the Baptists
have decided to spend million and
a half dollars there between now and
April 1924
Over 100000 will be invested in the
Mabie Memorial School at Yokohama.
while 100000 will go to the Christian
college at the same place. Practically
every dollar of the appropriation for
Japan will be used for educational pur-
poses except $4,000 set apart for If
teen church buildings.
In the present cabinet largely made
up of progressives. DR.. Scott sees the
final overthrow of autocracy and mill
tarism. Old policies are giving way in
the face of the modern ideas Of the
young men and women Of Japan,
many of whom are Christians, educated
in the Christian colleges that have
sprung up in Japan within the last
fifty years. he says.
ave owe to this progressive anti
v,,iIf tn ;cti ~ or1r moral
support, and every assistance to the
mission effort in Japan will be direct
contribution to the cause of peace and
hasten the coming of the day when the
military spirit and the autocratic pol
icy will be no more," said DR.. Scott
"Japan will lead the Far East In com
merce, industry and invention as well
as in education and art" he added.
"but there is still greater mission
for Japan and thai is as leader in
the principles of trn'h. liberty and
righteousness. Not niiny years ago
she was in the grip Of a despotic
feudal system. She had cruel caste
system under which the man Of lower
caste had no more rights than q dog.
That has been done away with. Her
people once had no religious rights and
her women once were mere chattels
Wonderful reforms have been accom-.
plished but nome more pronounced
than the granting of religious freedom
to the people and the recognition of
women as equals with men,"
According TO DR. Scott. japan has
been unable to build schools fast
enough. Ninety seven per cent OF the
children of school age are being edu-
Gated. Industrial schools have opened
and yearly turn out hundreds Of grad
yates. In Osaka more than 1000 girls
were graduated last year.
