BALKAN L|OV AF TER
 MATCH WITH SAUER

The sportin geditor of The Repub- lican received the following communi- cation last night:
 Sport Editor, Republican.
 I issued a challenge to Mir. Sauer through the columns of yesterdays Ga zette and up to the present time 1t has not been answered.
 The promoters have announced through the papers of Phoenix that a match will be arranged for MT. Sauer as soon as an opponent can be secured l have offered to meet Mir. Sauer and give him a handicap match and agree to beat him two falls in one hour, the gate receipts to be divided 6O-40 or winner take all, as he prefers. Now I weigh tthe present time. 1S7 pounds stripped and am sure Sauer does not weigh more than 10 pounds less, and with only that weight difference he should be willing to meet me in a finish match. He has met one man here who weighed 220 pounds, both in a handi- cap and a finish match, and in the handicap heswori: consequently, he can not refuse me a. match on account of the difference in weight He will have to find some other excuse MT. Sauer professes to be a wrestler: and If he is he should accept this challenge by all means. This challenge Is also meant for any light heavyweight the promot- CTS may suggest. am not picking my men.
 Thanking you for space in your val uable paper, am.s yours.

 While they were on the scene there Was plenty of war talk.
 As soon as they were thrust into the wings and the magnates took the stage and had some nice friendly con- versations all by themselves, every thing was lovely.
 All of which goes to prove the con- tention that the magnates themselves are best fitted, after all, to work the real reformation baseball needs. No lawyers are needed.

AUTOMOBILE THIEF
CAUGHT AT STANTON

Officer Claxton Clancy and his as
sistants at Stanton kent up their
good record for capturing automobile
thieves when on Wednesday after
noon they took is one Turlev Stew
art, running Super-Six Hudsonear,
which he had stolenein Mayfield, Ky,
Monday night. Stewart was armed
with an automatic pistol and a high
powered rifle. He made little re-
sistance, however, when these Officers
went for him. Perhaps he had
learned something of their record for
efficiency in this kind of work and
knew he was up against the real
thing, Clancy brought Stewart to
Brownsville Wednesday night and on
Thursday morning Chief of Police
Roy Hamblet, Of Mayfield, KY, came
here with Slaton Covington, one Of
Mayfield's leading business men and
owner of the car, and carried Stew
art back to Mayfield for trial. He
was carried back in the stolen car.
Stewart is a young fellow bearelv 81
years old. He had been in Mayfield
only a few months and claimed Paris,
Tenn, as his former home.

WE'D LIKE 10. BUT WE CAN'T

The following from the Jackson
vile, (Indl. Leader fits our case
like a pocket in shirt;
Once IN a while some reader thinks
it is a personal dig because We stop
ped his paper when his subscription
expired. But his likes are few. Now,
while we should only be too glad to
carry our subscribers on forever
without them having to pay anything
we find we can not do it. Printers
have a habit-surely they never need
the cash Of wanting their money
when Saturday evening comes. They
earn and should have it. The paper
houses that supply newspaper offices
with paper also want their money
at the end of every thirty days.
Linotype factories do not give type
setting machines away. So there you
are. The publisher Of a newspaper
must pay bills OF the sheriff will tack
a notice on his door. Therefore. it is
absolutely necessary that the reader
pay for his papSr
Our policy is to try to make the
sheet worth the price. If the printers
would agree to work, for glory, the
paper houses to furnish paper with
out cost, and the TYNE founders make
shipments Of material without money
and without price, then it would be
possible for us to carry subscribers
from year to year without money.
You can always tell when your
subscription expires by looking at
the date appearing Immediately after
your name on your paper. You will
probably get as MANY as two comics
after your slhbscrintion expires with
out the naDer stopping. Our readers
seem to like the nlan to ston the ma
per when their time is ont, and to
our knowledge there have been but
two men who pouted because we de-
mnnded that thew nov like everybody
else VIZ are nlaving no favorites

WILSON NOMINATES
GARRETT FEDERAL JUDGE


Washington December 10.-Con-
gresham Finis J. Garrett, Of Ores
den, was today nominated by Presi-
dent Wilson as Judge Of the federal
court of the West Tennessee district
TO succeeded the late John E. Mccall,
of Memphis.
This action was confirmatorv Of a
report which gained circulation in
Washington in August, when it be-
came known through sources close
to the White House that the presi-
dent desired thus to honor his appreci-
ated personal and political friend.
Mr.. CARROTS nearest competitor
was John d. Martin, of Memphis,
whose name was before the president
with the endorsement of Attorney
General Palmer and Senator Ne
Kellar. Five or six other names
We're also before the president for
consideration
Whether the Senate will confirm
Mr.. Garrett is open to speculation,
as the Republican majority in that
body is known to be inclined to OPP
pose all major presidential pOmina-
tions pending the inauguration of
President Elect Harding
Both Tennessee senators will work
for Mr.. CARROTS confirmation. SEN
ator Shields, who is a member of the
Senate judiciary committee, said to-
day that he would do everything in
his power to have favorable action
on the nomination. The judiciary
committee will meet on Monday next,
when vote on the nomination viii
be taken.
As already stated in this CORE
spondence, the nomination of Com
gresham Garrett was in the nature
Of a personal compliment. But it
was in che months preceding Ameri-
cas- entrance into the world war and
the ensuing trying months of that
great conflict that the intimacy be-
tween the president and Mr.. Garrett
sprang up and grew into the flower
of mutual friendship In that period
the administration needed fearless
and aggressive champion on the
floor Of the House and in Mr. Gar
rett the president had such leader
In the light of the closeup pre-
dictions from Washington since Con-
gress met Monday, the nomination
Of Congressman Garrett for federal
Judge did not cause mach surprise
in Memphis.
Comment urned Immediately to
the chance he has Of being confirmed.
Much store is laid by the congress-
icnal courtesy idea which often OBJ
tains. Moreover, it is known that
Mr. Garrett has some influential
friends amongst the Republicans.
Notable among these are Nicholas
Longworth, Of Ohio, and the speaker
of the House. Mr.. CARROTS friends
saw that Mr., Longworth is especially
active in his behalf.
Mr.. Garrett is regarded as one of
Tennesspe's strongest men. He is AZ
wears old and was born in Weaklav
county. He studied law under
Charles NJ. Ewino. father of Ca4
ruthers Ewing. Of Memphis. In 1900
he was. APPOINTED clerk and master
Of Weaklev county. In 1904. while
not vet 80 years old, he defeated
CONGRESSMAN RicesP iNree, and served
in CONGRESS- since. He is one of the
rsnFirg members of the committee
on rules.

GEORGIA SWEET POTATO
BEATS THEM ALL

You may search the country over
North and South and East
and West, e
From the shores Of California up
- to- Maine,
And you'll find there's peace and
plenty-corn, tobacco. peas and
rice,
Cabbage, sugar beets, and fields of
golden grain.
New York will give you apples,
Louisiana sugar cane,
And New England berries large
and berries small:
But away down South in Dixie you
will find the greatest treat
The Georgia sweet potato beats
them all.
You must put pinch of soda in
your biscuit every time
And little lump. Of butter in your
rice,
You must flavor up your lettuce with
a bit of dressing, too,
If you wish to have it very extra
nice.
And sugar must be sprinkled in every
pie you bake,
And always roll your sausage in
asbalI:
But for something that's delicious
without sugar, sauce or spice
The Georgia sweet potato beats
them all. (
DARING Bell Stokely.

HEAVY SHORTAGE
OF SCHOOL TEACHERS

Washington. December Be
tween 100000 and 100000 children
were deprived Of schooling last year
as direct result of the shortage of
teachers, according to estimates
made BY p. P. Claxton, federal COM
missioner, in his annual report made
public last night. No relief for the
situation is seen by the commissioner,
who added that while from 10000
to probably 10000 new teachers
would be needed during the coming
year, we shall have at the outside
80 900 prepared teachers to fill va
cancies, or a deficit of at least $4,000.
Of even greater moment than the
actual shortage, the report said. was
the increase in "sub-standard" in
