PUBLIC DUE FOR BIG
FIGHT SHAKE-DOWN

NEW YORK, May 9-Unless the ap
parent slump in baseball attendance
means tightening of the string on
the sport pocketbook, the public ought
to be ready for a $1,000,000 shake
down on some kind of a fight this sum
mer.
Promoters who know how to do the
shaking so far have been unable to
find any kind of shaker.
So many barriers are in the way of
a Dempsey Wills match that real
heavyweight attraction seems out of
the question.
The champion could not find work in
this country and, according to reports,
he found the business as bad in Eur
ope.
Jack Kearns has finally admitted
that the British are cool to another
Dempsey Carpenter comedy and Eur
ope ism keen about donating half
million or so to Dempsey and Wills.
Leonard and Lew Tender for the
lightweight championship, look like the
next big shaker until a heavyweight
encounter.
Tender is being criticized because he
turned down an offer of $62,500 to
meet Leonard, an unhcard of sum for
u challenger among the little fellows.
If fighter is allowed to have any
business ideas at all, Tender is not
such grabber. He figures that a
championship bout in the East after u
good smoking up, would draw a gate
of 100000 and that he ought to get at
least 25 percent of it.
Neither Leonard nor Tender has any
desire to put a promoter out of bust
ness.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, May 9.-Foot-

doomed says Andy Smith, chief coach
of the University of California, who is

"Commercialization of college foot

"There has been a growing dissatis-
faction in college athletic circles. 1t
reached its climax in last year s post
season games, and steps have been
taken to prevent a repetition of that
trouble.
Hereafter intersectional college foot
ball games will be handled by the Pa

will be scheduled at the beginning OF
the season and the games will be en-

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
The Cut
Copyright, 1929, by tn e

Although the cut stroke is close
second to the pull in value to a baseball
player very few professionals know how
to make it, or indeed use it at all.
This is a very great shortcoming.
For the left handed hitter the cut is
by all means' the most valuable stroke
and should be used thrice where the
pull, the favorite and natural stroke of
left ft-handers is used. The facts are that
few left-handers do anything but pull,
which with first and second bases un-
occupied is the worst place for them to
hit.
When it is understood that, for left
handlers, the cut is an attack upon the
weakest spot in the diamond, third base,
the overpowering Importance of this
stroke to the left handler will be appre-
ciated.
Take these conditions-Fast left

The third baseman must play within 80

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. "A hun
dred and sixty fertilizer statesmen,
representing all of the leading COM
panies selling in Ohio. went to school
last week at Ohio State university,
when the department of soils of the
college of agriculture conducted a two
day lecture course and conference es-
peeia1ly for them.
The purpose of the meeting, the
first of it's kind ever held in the state,
was to bring before the fertilizer men
the standard dozen" formulas which
the college has selected as adequate
for all the soil and crop needs of the
state, and to enlist their further aid
in doing away with the 40 or more
other mixed analyses which now are
being offered for sale in Ohio by the
various fertilizer companies.
Firman E. Bear, head of the depart
ment of soils, directed the sessions.
Aside from the confusion, which comes
from the present multiplicity of brands
and analyses, he told the conference,
waste lies in the fact that most OF
these "superfluous brands are of low
analyses" 'Bertifizer manufacturers
as well as agriculturists," he contin
ued, realize that high analysis means
| low unit costs for farmer and fertiliZ
er concerns, alike, and 13 large com
| panies already have indicated willing
ness to push only brands of the Ohio
standard dozen formulas, no one oil

''The primary reason for standardiz
alton is to do away with low-grade
mixtures. The Ohio standard dozer

came second in popularity, and Glad
den third.
Mr.. Hanger estimates that 1900
acres of Ohio's wheat area was seed
ed with certified wheat this fall. With
only an increase of three bushels per
acre. due to the better seed. this will
increase the state wheat crop by near
~ $4,000 bushels, and at no extra
cost, except the small premium for
the certified seed, Hanger pointed out
In addition to this, he said. many
millers are paying premium for
these better varieties of wheat, due
to their superior milling qualities.
