the advice OF Coach Sparks.
The hrst practice is called for

Realizing that they will have to
work hard 70 make the regular
quintet. the large number Of candi-
date who turned out at the Beacon
Business School are practicing twice
week now. The boys look nifty
in their new uniforms which are Of

At today's work out Coach Nay

of the winter pastime. No scrim-
mage will be taken up today because
the coach wishes to give each play

possible.

So far Beacon has scheduled games
with New Castle High, oxford High,

raising his prestige when he swaps
punches with Eddie Mclaughlin OF
Philadelphia, IN the wlndup Of the

The Battler Is a much improved
finger of fists as can be determined
by his bouts OF the past six months.
Going on as a substitute with only a
moments notice he earned a draw
with n speedy Philadelphia at a re-
cent bcst IN Chester. This is an in
dication Of the condition in which
Barnes keeps himself and he IS in
the best of ehape for tomorrow

In Mclaughlin the Wilmington
product should have far from an
easy evening Of it. The Philadel-
phian will no doubt make things in
teresting for Barnes as he is fresh
from a one round victory over Jack
Clifford at Chester on Monday.
In q 'l.tion to the windup another
leading number on the card is the

Another coach came and in two
weeks such a transformation came
that the Yale eight went on the
Thomas river, rowed the very heart
out of Harvard and won the race.
In one of the games of the 1921
worlds series, Smith, a hardboiled
young catcher OF the Giants. was be-
hind the plate when Bob Meusel, the
Yank outfielder, came to the bat.
GO on back % the bench. You're
yellow. You won't get around II
you do get on" Smith said, follow
ing Rule of the catching code on
getting a batter's goat.
Words followed and Meusel pok-
ed out a single. He got around to
third where Mike McNally was
coaching.
GO down and tell Smith I'm COM
ing in on the next pitch"
McNally delivered the message in
a loud voice and Smith spat in scorn.
Meusel went in on the next pitch,
fast and standing up. Smith be-
came so ratified when he saw Meusel

Meusel scored.
Tex Rickard used TO have no
,trouble getting boxers to work for
him. All he had to do was dangle
large sacks OF coin beneath their
nose.
Madison Square had such a cor
ner on all the first class bouts a year
ago that the little promoters yelpsd
about restraint of trade. In a year It
all changed and Rickard recently got
a call down from the commission for
not staging first class bouts.
Money, threats, pleas and moth
ing else will get them now Rickard
said today. THE only thing they're
looking for now is setups-smaller
purses and sure thing opponents.
After much experience I have
come TO the conclusion that Euro
pean boxers are afraid to come over
for any money. I made Carpenter a
standing offer OF S15O,0OO to come
over and meet Tommy Gibbons but
he passed It up and was knocked
out by Sikh for $4,000.
Then / offered Sikh $4,000 to
come over and meet Kid Norfolk or
any other American he wanted. He
got himself in bad and now he can't
earn a cent for nine months.

Jimmy Wilde to come and defend

Rickard says the American boxers

any kind of a chance.

I'd what seemed to be a sure defeat
I by the Navy eleven into a brilliant
/ victory by a spectacular showing in
! .he second half.
The change between a team that
had been completely>and decisively
beaten in the first half and the team
ithst came out in the second half
and ran away from one Of the best
1eams in the East was startling.
The wand that brought about a
magic transformation IS said to be
a cutting remark an, an inference
by their coach. y Johnny" Heisman,
that they were yellow.
After the first half, Heisman. ac-
|cording to the story, went into the
Penn club house and had the fol-
lowing in effect TO say to the squad:
Il don't mind you losing, if you
| lose like men with your heads up.
4 I've got a long contract and I'm go
| ing to tear 1t up tonight and leave
) you fiat, If you don't fight in the
next half"
They went out and fought $50
much that they won and provided
the biggest upset of the season.
Many stories are told Of such
scathlng remarks made by coaches
that worked heart and fight in a
team and many of them are not
/ true.
One told recently in New York
concerned Tad Coy one of the great
est Of all Yale backs.
Princeton several years back was
,ieading at the first half 10 to 0 and
the Yale eleven wasn't showing too
[much fight. They came out in the
second half and rolled up Stwelve
points for a victory.
Nasty cutting words from the
: coaches and charges that they lack
d the courage of boys was regard
ed as the strategy that the Yale
peaches worked between halves to
get the team on its feet.
Several years later Coy was asked
what was said to them in the dress
hg-room and he replied:

gross price per pound obtained was
25 cents. The average net to the
grower was slightly over 20 cents.
Forty-fve thousand two hundred and
forty-six men consigned their wool to
these pools and received an increased
price of $1,O13,54913 for their cooper
atively marketed product. Ohio mar
keted 5,,798,30O pounds Of wool by this
method, almost twice as much as any
other state; Michigan came next with
2,586,347; New York, Indiana, Iowa,
Wyoming and Montana all marketed
over million pounds each.
Mr.. Fawcett says, 1.-THE machinery
for processing and conveying the do.
nestle wool clip from the grower to
mill has been through the hands of
about 5000 wool dealers and speculat-
ors, EACH Of whom must maintain his
storage facilities and organization, and
In great many cases exorbitant prof.
Its have been. taken as toll by the many
middlemen that operate between the
grower and consumer.
perhaps the growers of no other
agricultural commodity have had such
little knowledge of the methods en-
ployed in the distribution Of their prod
ucts as the wool growers, and little or
no attention has been paid to methods
of distribution to mill consumption.
The product of about $4,000 wool
growers through the pools was pre-
pared for market while yet the prop
erty Of the growers and sold on quail
fty basis through their association d.
| rect to the mills. This, we believe, to
be economy in distribution. The fun
damental principle upon which this
method of marketing is based may be
described as an effort to conserve a
larger portion Of the consumers dollar
for the producer by shortening the
route between the producer and con.
sumner through efficient and systematic
distribution"

COOPERATIVE PLAN
ADOPTED IN NEVADA,
Marketing Exchange and Local
Associations Are Now in
Successful Operation.

There are very few farmers left in
western Nevada who are not now IA
vorable to the cooperative marketing
plan adopted last fall at the Reno
meeting, and which has begun func-
toning.
The action of congress in sanction
ing such cooperative organizations
and the growth and achievements Of
the cooperative marketing movement
throughout the country, has been the
heaven which has brought farmer
after farmer in line for q try-out in
this state
Every alfalfa grower who has an
alyzed the marketing OF last seasons
crop, which, as rule, was sold for
less than the cost Of production, is
convinced that the only way to stabil-
lie hay production and insure fair
prices Is through q cooperative SELL
ing agency. The plan prescribed In
the state exchange and local asso-
Citations, involving a contractual OBJ
legation between the grower and his
association, under which minimum
prices can be maintained, leaving the
grower otherwise free to sell as he
pleases, and providing for developing
and securing optstde markets for tie
surplus. seems to hit the; nail on the
head. 1t is something that Nevada
farmers can and mtst put over for
their own welfare. 4.
The cooperative selling plan, AZ
embodied in the exchange and feder-
ated associations is all embracing In
respect to farm and range products.
No product IL taken over for collec-
tive marketing until the. board of di.
rectors Of the local association, by a
four-f1fths vote, decide 80 to do. They
may not then take It over unless they
are prepared to render some proper
and efficient service, In its marketing.
The plan. therefore, is progressive.
Beginning with hay and probably. POI
tatoes, In certain counties; with grain
or dairy products; etc, In other dis.
tricts, each association IL q law unto
itself as to what products 1t will un-
dertake to market. Since no one who
is not a producer can be member,
growers control their own enterprise.
Another important feature of the
plan Is that each product pays for Its
own marketing. The cost Of the serv-
ice rendered in marketing hay is as
sessed against hay only; of market
ing potatoes, against potatoes, ETC.,
and separate accounts are kept for
each product.
In the writer's opinion, the ex-
change, the headquarters Of which are
