CORN STORGE PLAN
Investigation For Scheme On Largo
Scale To Be Made
TAseoc;afod prase nfanafrh

Washington, D. c., November g.
Investigation and development OF
plans for warehousing corn on a
large scale Is to be undertaken by a
committee appointed by the war fin
ance corporation. Announcement OF
this step was made today by the fn-
ance corporatin which said the pro-
posal had the approval OF Secretaries
Mellon and Wallace.
"It will be recalled" the corporation
said. "that years ago when there was
a temporary large surplus, cribbing
corn was successfully undertaken In
carrying forward the surplus 1t ia
believed that ways and means may be
found by which considerable part OF
the large surplus now on hand may
be safely stored and financed On a
sound bushes basis until IL can be
marketed or utilized, with benefit to
the farmers in the corn belt as well
Crop records show that unusual
yields do not continue indefinitely
and the preservation of a surplus
against a time of diminished produc
ton is in line with sound economic
and finapcial policies" The member :.
ship Of the committee will be an
nounced shortly, the corporation said
The purpose Of the committee
Managing DIRECTOR Meyer explained
is to enable farmers to hold their
corn until a fair price can be realized
for the crop. The corporation, he
said, plans to advance funds through
the banks to the farmers on the Sc
curity Of corn warehoused which
would enable the farmers to hold
their crops for better prices.

TED LEWIS AGAIN
 DEFEATS BASHAM
English Middleweight Title Holder is Knocked Out in The Twelfth
 Round.

London, Oct. 15. - Ted Lewis last night stopped Johnny Basham, mid dleweight champion of England in the twelfth round of a bout scheduled for twenty rounds. The contest took place at Albert hall, and Lewis had the up- per hand from start to finish.
 This is the third time Lewis has knocked out Basham, the other two victories being recorded while Bash am was welter champion of England.
 Should Lewis elect to remain here he would be recognized as both the welter and middleweight champion of England. Lewis, however, shows a propensity to fit to America as soon as he wins a battle.
 Basham's seconds ended the terrific punishment which Lewis was inflict- ing on him by tossing towel into the ring in acknowledgement of defeat. Lewis outclassed his man from the start. Basham received badly bat tered ear, from which the blood flowed freely. Tn the eleventh round right to the jaw sent him down for the count of nine, the gong saving him.

HEYDLER DISSENTS
 FROM LANDS VIEWS
National League President Opposes a
 Return to Seven-Game Worlds Series.

New York, Oct. 15.-John A. Heyd- Ter, president of the National league, yesterday expressed dissent from the conclusion of Judge Landis, high commissioner of organized baseball, that events had shown a nine-game schedule for the worlds series to be too long. Commissioner Landis in a statement made after the final game on Thursday had announced his in- tention of advocating at the joint ses- sion of the major leagues in the com winter the reduction of the number of games to a possible seven, the winner of four contests to be de- clared the victor. This will be done," said Judge Landis, 'in the belief that lit is very generally accepted that the ideal worlds championship is de- cided by the winning of four games, as was the rule prior to 1919. The present lengthy series overtaxes the patience of the public.' .

BILLY SHADE WINS
 BOUT WITH KEISER
Australian Makes Good in His
 New York Debut

New York, Oct. 15.-Billy Shade and Fay Keiser made good with ven- gence in Madison Square Garden last night in one of the grittiest fights seen here in years. At the end of fifteen rounds, Shade gained the decision. Keiser, though badly beaten, was the hero of the fray because of his un- f1inching gameness under perfect hailstorm of blows.
 Shade is a wonderfully clever two- handed boxer and stout-hearted fighter to boot. He took the best right handlers that Keiser had and never took a back step unless it was part of his clever attack. He has all pres ent day boxers in this or any other country standing still when it comes to everlasting perpetual motion. The nights fun started with a Joe dandy bout between Harold Farese and Terry McHugh. It was an eight round battle, and battle is the word, for harder opener has seldom been seen in the old Garden. They locked l toes and didn't budse from the posi-
 ton for the entire distance. It went along like this until the last bell l | one very last clinch, McHugh caught Farese with a short right hook and l dumped his man flat on his back. Be
 fore the referee could begin a count, Farese was up and back into the thick of it. Despite the capsizing of Mas ter Farese, it was so close that the officials had to call 1t draw.
 Eddie O'Dowd and Abe Goldstein came next in another eight-round
 slasher and again the judges were hard put to select winner. It was a pretty two-handed mill, both men
 giving and taking plenty of punish l ment, even Jack Dempsey, the Steel Man, at the ringside, winced until he almost fell off his chair.
 | Jack Burke of Pittsburgh ana Gene
 Tunney were the semi-f1nalists. It was | short and sweet-too short, for the 1 referee refused to allow Burke to come out for the third round because of an
 unusually deep cut suffered by Burke in the previous round and sweet be- cause it was real fight

RAGING MEET ENDS
Bad Spill Occurs in Last Heat of Af- ternoon at Lexington-Horses and Drivers Escape Injury.

\ Lexington, Ky, Oct. 15.-The forty ninth annual meeting the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders association came to a close yesterday afternoon with the 2:05 trot and 2:O1 pace at features. Each proved good con- test, Jane the Great winning the trot after losing the first heat to Kilo Watts, and Sanardo capturing the pace after finishing third in the sec ond heat, won by Hal Malone.
 The final heat of the meeting was marred by bad spill when Sir Koch and Senator Wilkes went down while rounding the first turn. Charles Dean, Jr., and Harry Gray were handling the reins on the two horses. Neither horses nor drivers sustained serious injuries.
 In the opening heat of the 2:o5 trot Driver Childs took Kilo Watts to the front and kept her there despite a determined stretch drive by Cox who was handling Jane the Great. In the second heat Kilo Watts again went into the lead, but the Cox mare over hauled her in the stretch to win going away and won the third heat easily.
