Sport Chatter


The mail man slapped an ultima
tum on the desk this morning in
the form Of a letter from T. Hanley
of Brooklyn in which he says
there was so much talk Of Johnny
Kflbane's hands being brittle, we
thought We would remind you that
during the recent Kilbane-Frush
battle his mitts came through un-
injured. How come-how Gomez"
He is right. Although Johnny hit
Frush harder and probably more
times then he ever did any other
contender, his hands did not show
tho slightest raise or bruiso after
the fracas.
But, It must be remembered that
Johnny was fighting a man who
stood up straight and scrapped. In
past battles where Kilbane has hurt
his dukes it has always been on the
heads and elbows OF some fighter
who insisted on covering up. But
with Danny, the straight up fighter,
there were no elbows or heads 70
connect with and consequently Kill
bane kept slipping in to the Jaw
where every blow had certain
amount Of give to It.

Officer Save Levies On
Liquor Taxi With

If the sheriff catches your auto
mobile with liquor in it, being driven
by another person without your
knowledge or consent, and a state
court decides that you are lawfully
entitled to recover the car, don't
make up your mind that your trou-
bles are over. They have probably
only commenced. Because you will
then have the United States govern
ment to deal with, and, if you want
to fight the case further, more law
yer fees to pay, with less hope of
success.
This is the experience of George
Thomas, colored barber and preacher
Of Americas, owner of the Buick au-
tomobile seized by Sheriff Harvey a
short time ago on the Bumphead
road when it was ditched by Edgar
EldrIdge, its driver, who was trying
TO escape from the officer with a
cargo of liquor fresh from Schley
county still.
Eldridge, taxi driver, was oper-
ating the car for Thomas. The car
was put under condemnation proceed
ings in City court by Solicitor Dan
Chappell, and Monday morning the
case came up for trial before a jury
as the first case in the March term
of the City court. George and Min
ME Thomas, his wife, who were NAM
ed jointly as defendants as owners
of the ar, appeared and established to
the astisfaction of the jury that they
had repeatedly cautioned Eldridge
that he must not use the car for haul
ing liquor, and verdict in their fa-
vor was promptly returned under the
state law.
Such a result evidently having
been expected, G. w. Saye, revenue
officer from Albany, was on hand and

POLAND LOSES

FAR-REACHINC
Will Aid Berlin Govern
ment In Paying Rep
arations

BERLIN, March 21.-(By the AS
sociated Press .-Germauy won an
overwhelming victory in the plebes-
cite held in Upper Silesia under the
Versailles treaty yesterday to deter
mine the future national status of
that region, according to official re-
turns received here. IA
Two districts were stiH missing
this morning, but the count showed
$4,000 votes for Germany and $780,
600 for Poland.
Reports from Breslau say the
plebescite was generally without un-
toward Incidents.
The decision is of tremendous i'm
portance, not only to Germany and
Poland, but to the whole world. Be-
caAse--
Since Germany wins she can pay
the allies far more in reparatlons.
If Poland had won the Polish state
the 'firewalP' between Bolshe-
vism and western Europe--would be
tremendously strengthened; from
Upper Silesia she would draw her
greatest exports.
Upper Silesia is one of the richest
mining and industrial districts in
the world. 1t is the third coal field
Of Europe. Whichever country wins
will have huge quantities of coal for
export.
The normal pre-war Silesian coal
output was SO million tons year,
The coal beds are sufficient to last
1000 years at this rate-80 billion
tons in ALL
Great steel mills add to the i'm
portance of the district. Some iron
ore is mined here, but high grade
ore from Sweden was imported by
the German mill owners in huge
quantities before the war. Zinc is
another important product.
Feeling has been at trigger-pitch
between the Germans and Poles.
Ever since the armistice a young
war has been raging. Many people
on both sides have been killed.
Planes and bombs as well as rifles
have been employed.
Each side charged the other with
fomenting riots.
The Poles charged the Germans
with packing" the district with Ger
man voters for the plebiscite. The
Germans charged the Poles with
keeping the district in a state of war
by agitation.
Allied troops have lately been
there, maintaining order. A mill
tary regime was established on
March 9 to continue until after the
balloting.
Both sides claim a majority of the
population, although German imper-
ial statistics before the war gave the
district as 60 percent Polish. Ger
mans, however, own most of the
mines and mills.

100000 BALES
CARRY-OVER CROP.
Bv Victor Rarron

ATLANTA, March 21.-With the
beginning of the new season, August
/, next, there will be approximately
carryover of 100000 bales OF
American cotton. Therefore, it is
more plain than ever that the South
must drastically curtail the produc-
| tion this season in order to reduce
this huge surplus to less dangerous
figures. 1t is claimed that crop of
even 100000 bales would not in
sure the South against even lower
prices than now prevailing.
From every section OF the belt
where crop preparations are under
way farmers are making drastic re-
ductions in the acreage. In Texas
the reduction is said to be averaging
between 35 and 40 percent and be-
tween 40 and so percent in the
Eastern belt. A general reduction
of so percent, it is claimed, viii be
made. Practically no fertilizer has
been bought, sales up to the first of
March being considerably more than
100000 tons less than to the same
date year ago.
With cotton selling today under
prewar levels, or approximately 6 to
ii cents pound--11 cents for mid
ding and cents for low middling--
it will be seen at glance that it
would be suicidal for the South to
attempt to raise more than half a
crop, and this only with hope and
confidence of restoring prices to a
more reasonable level on basis OF
| cost of production.
Necessity, as well as determina-
ton, makes the acreage reduction a
! certainty
Farmers are going to raise the
absolute requisites of life for them
selves and their livestock, and pro-
duce such crops for sale as will pay
! him best
As giltedge investment, both
futures contracts and the raw ma
terial are the shining spots on the
! bargain counter" today, having
been tremendously overdeflated at
present prices. They hold every in
! dication of bringing harvest of
gold to the man that buys and holds.
The man that has cotton on hand
on hand today should tighten his
grasp on it and the speculartor that
sells future contracts short should
be mighty careful-it's dangerous
business-for the pocketbook at
least.
Cut the acreage so per cent.
Hold what cotton you have.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-An
entirely new attack on the validity
of the prohibition amendment based
upon the requirement that it be rat
flied within seven years, was made
today in the supreme court. The
attack was made in a brief filed by
counsel for j. J. Dillon, of San Fran

prohibition act. Dillon is seeking a
writ of habeas corpus.
The provision attacked was offer
ed by then Senator Harding, now
President, when the amendment be-

section makes the entire article IN
operative unless ratified in seven
years. the brief asserts, which is un-
constitutional.
