Prodncers' Association Unable
to Join Cuba i'm Combine
Against Refinera

SAN JUAN, Aug. 2S.-The Porto
Riean Sugar Producers Association has
replied to request to join Cuban su-
gar interests in an effort to prevent re-
hsers from forcing down the price OF
raw sugar that, while the local asso-
ciaflon could not join officially with
Cuba in such an effort because Of Fed
eral laws, Porto Rico would not make
snip ments Of sugar except as sold.
The cable message received from the
Asse citation de Haciendados Coionos
de Cuba said:
"ln view Of the unjustifed lowering
IN prices of raw sugar, which endan-
gers sugar growers interests to the
exclusive benefit Of refners, we invite
yeu to inform US if you think it posi-
Bile to obtain joint action to adopt legit-
innate measures to avoid grave losses in
the present and coming crops"
Following the receipt Of this cable
message a meeting of the board of di-
rectsrs Of the Sugar Producers Asse-
ciat.en was called, and Eduardo Con
zalez was authorized to send this reply
for the association:
Federal legislation prevents joint
action. We assure you our policy is
to sell before shipment and not to offes
in advance"

BOYS STAGE
TRACK MEET
Basketball Sessions Being
Over Track Events Have
An Inning.

AS the Boys department basket
oall league season has ended, the
members have turned TO indoor track
meets, and a very lively time was had
IN the races this morning. The first
event was six man relay race. THE
heds loset to the White, the Blacks
iost 10 the Blues and the Pinks lost
TO the Fellows. This left three three
teams, and in order to have two com
plete races in the semi-finals, one of
the losing teams was drawn back and
the Blacks drew the lucky number. In
the seni-fnals the Fellows beat the
Blacks and the Whites beat the Blues.
This left the Fellows and the Whites
for the finals and after little breathe
ing spell the Whites out ran the yell
lows by about two feet.
The second event was an elmina-
ton tournament in the well known
tug of war. Every one lost to the
Yellows and Blues, who faced each
other for the finals, and the Yellows
had no trouble in dragging their on
ponents across the floor.
The third event was pursuit race.
This was an individual contest and
called for six runners, which were
placed at equal intervals around the
race track: At the command to go"
they were all to start running and
endeayor to pass the man in front. II
runner was able to come up to the
one in front of him, he slapped him
on the back and the one who was
caught had to drop out of the raoo.
There was no limit set, the only thing
for the best runners to do was to keep
on running till there'was no one else
in the race and then he was consid-
cred the winner. The runners drop
ped out in the following order: Ralph
Eddy, first; Bill Post, second; Rich
ard Coombs, third: John Shots,
fourth; Veto Delsordo, fifth, and Paul
Woody survived as the winner.
After this the teams were all taken
outside where there was plenty of sun
and their pictures taken. These pic
lures will be mounted and framed
and hung on the wall in the Boys de-
partment.
