PHILADELP LPAIA BEATS MACON
PHllllES TARE THROUGH MACON HIGH SCHOOL
LINE FOR FOUR TOUCH DOWNS. SCORE s2-3

Philadelphia partially avenged an
carly season loss to Meridian when
they trounced Macon High School
here Friday afternoon 1913. The
business houses closed for the game
and all Philadelphia was on hand to
urge her team on to victory.
The line was impregnable on de-
fence, often tearing through the Ma
con forwards and throwing its
back for telling losses.
Leonard Milling, Philadelphia's
diminutive quarter back, played a
stella game; he handled the ball clev-
erly and circled the Macon ends al
most at will. Captain Sam Billy
Cooper handled his team well and
seemed able always to use his plays
so as to gain the coveted distance;
Jasper Moore, G ranville Hand and
George ripped the Macon line into
shreds, frequently gaining as much
as ten yards right thru the Macon
line. The work OF Philadelphia's IS
line was not in any sense less brili-
ant than that of her backs, and the
team was strong on interference.
Macon made her only 8 points on
a well executed drop kick goal from
the 25 yard line. Macon's back field
was fairly strong but her line was
weak and her interference bad. Gains
were made through her line repeat.

DAIRY FARMING WILL

Commissioner of Agriculture

a quicker turnover than dairy farm
ing. The dairy COW pays for her
= board every day. She pays with
the finest food in the world, a COM
modify that la always in demand,
and invariably sells for cash. All
creameries pay their patrons once a
month and some remit checks every
two weeks.
When we contrast the regular
cash income derived from the sale OF
cream with the proceeds from cotton
which is received 10 or II months
after the labor and cost OF making
1t has been paid by the grower or
carried on the books OF his supply
merchant. the advantage OF dairying
over cotton is obvious.
But the rapid turnover is only one
advantage OF dairying. There are
several other advantages that ought
to appeal to many Arkansas farm
ers, particularly those who live In
the upland sections, where the yield
of cotton is too low to make this
crop profitable one year after an
other, but where the soil Is adapted
for the growth OF pasture and forage
crops. One OF these outstanding ad.
vantages is the building up of the
SOIL In some instances the in
creased production OF crops which
tfollow the generous applications OF
iDarnyard manure, practicable where
insairy sows are kept, Increase the In
come of the land owner as much or
more than the sale OF cream.
To understand the important rela-
tion OF the dairy COW to soil fertility
1t is helpful to study her manner OF
life as she eats her food, digests u
portion of it and converts some OF 1t
into milk, some iito body tissue and
some into heat and energy. These
several operations go on In the body
of the docile COW while she grazes In
the pasture, contenedly chews her
cud under a shade tree or lazily doz-
es in the barnyard, all the while un-
conscious of the important role she
plays In the financial welfare OF her
owner
AS practial men, dairymen are not
concerned with the chemical and
physiological processes which take
place In the stomach OF the cow ex-
cept those processes which pertain
TO the production OF milk and those
which influence the fertility OF the
land. AS d milk producer and a soil
builder, tho cow should interest her
owner immensely, aud he should un-
derst,rnd her In this respect In order
thath may turn to his advantage
those processes which make her SO
useful.
The dairy COW in convertinga q por.
tioniof her food into milk draws
heavily on these elements In the food
which do not affect the fertility Of
the land. The three essential ferti.
llzing elements. nitrogen, phosphorlc
acidsand potash, which must be sup
piled to the soil In commercial ferti
lizers, she practically ignores. The

While White showed that he is
game and willing to take punishment,
he IL not in Lynch's class as a boxer.
and he never made any showing ex-

things easy. In the fifth round con-
tinued punches on Whites eye closed

the bout Jabez boxed with only one
eye open. Several times he made ex-
citing rallies and forced the fighting.

the Albany boxer was forced to hold
and work on the defensive.
A couple OF good rallies in the final
round brought the bout to a close

HEYDLER ATTACKS

NEW YORK. Feb. 23.-John A.

Dali, In an answer to statements made
by Congressman Welty of Ohio IN
Congress. After intimating that In
due time the jurist will devote all OF
his time exclusively to baseball
Heydler says:
Regardless of whether or not he
does so, 1t is high time that the mis-
statements of Representative in
congress concerning a national in
stitution such as baseball go no
longer unchallenged. When a public
man makes a statement that baseball
is paying big salary to Judge Ian.
dis In the nature Of a bribe. then that
man is either wilfully misrepresent-
ing the whole situation or he Is woe
fully ignorant Of the facts.
Today there are only two cases
before the courts in which baseball
as whole is concerned. Judge Lam
dls has had nothing to do with the
inception or conduct Of either, nor
will he have anything to do with their
future conduct or determination from
a judicial standpoint.
Hreat stress has been laid on one
OF these cases by Mr.. Welty, this be-
ing the 1919 finding of a lower court
In Washington that baseball was q
combination in violation of the Sher-
man act. 1t apparently does not
serve Mr.. Welty's purpose to add what
is most recent and important, namely
that this finding was completely re-
versed December 6, 1920, by the Court
OF Appeals of the District of Columbia.

1t Is noticed that practically all
college and high school teams adopt
a defense which Is maintained at all
times. Tho defense is in the form of
what IL called a "nve-man defense" I"
1t takes the form of three and two
or two and three. or four and one, or
one and four players spread across
the floor as the case may be.
In other words, when the opposing
team is in possession of the ball, the
defense throws men across the floor
in positions as outlined above.

The players on defense seek to
break up the rushes for the basket or
dribbles or passes. The offense seeks
to work a man clear for a shot by
either passing in and around or by
working the ball close enough for a
long dead-center shot.
II the defense succeeds in breaking
up such a play the team which was

A premium has been put on de.

out that while Pennsylvania is on top
