GRAPE EXPERT HERE;
EXCLUSIVELY URGED

Growth of Vticulture in Val
ley Requires Greater At
tention, Claim

Imperial Valley Farm Centers ari
today considering plans for urging
appointment of an expert viticultur-
ist who shall devote his exclusive
time to the problems of Southern
California vineyardists, it became
known today.
That the suggestion Of the Goa
chella Valley Submarine" advancing
such an appointment, is being accept
ed as vitally necessary to the grape
industry, particularly in Imperial
Coachella and Palo Verde valleys, ap-
peared evident here among grape
men today.
It was pointed out by viticulturist;
that no other agricultural pursuit is
making more rapid strides in this sec
ton than the grape industry. Grape
culture was given pronounced I'M
petus by the Cudahy interests alone
which have received two carloads OF
100000 grape cuttings each for plant
ing east OF imperial Unis season. ASIDE
from that big expansion Of vineyard
acreage in the valley, individual grow
ers show increases in their paintings
The Palo Verde and Coachella valley;
also show heavy extensions.
With this increase additional ant
continual scientific guidance is con
stantly required, it was asserted. The
time has come when the valuable
work of Prof. Bioletti should be sup
pIemented, since his time must b'
shared with vine1ardists throughou
the State. 1t is maintained that there
is work enough south of the Tehachep
to keep an expert occupied through
out the year, and a great many south
ern viticulturists are said to fee
that the State should supply a MAJ
who could devote his entire time t
The industry in the southland. Then
too, conditions Of the culture Of
grapes in the south are said to b.
different from conditions in th'
north.
It is with such plan that the Farm
Centers are concerned.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15-Johnny Dul1'
dee has $4,000 to say that he can
take Johnny Kilbane for the feather
weight title.
The bouncing LATHAM has deposited
his check with the warning that nc
will claim the title if Kilbane doesn't
hear him within six months. 4
Sounds like lot of money to lay
around that long, but Dundee is .re-
ported to have gathered something
close to half million dollars in II
years ring work.
Dundee is now the recognized junior
lightweight champion, meeting the
best 130 Founders in the country.
The Italian has mingled with four
champions in his day-Ad Wolgast,
Willie Ritchie, Benny Leonard and
Kilbane. Back in 1913 he boxed 20
rounds to a draw with Kilbane in
Vernon, California. He has been one
of the most active boxers in the ring
and in nearly every one of his engaged
ments he has spotted his opponent
from five to ten pounds. Willie jack
son was the only one to knock him
out and Dundee's alibi of a "fluke"
on that occasion has been borne out
by Jackson's inability to repeat on
numerous occasions since then.

BIG LEAGUES PLAN

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Peeved by
those pesky minor leagues that re-
fuse to take $500 for $4,000 ball
playcrs, the "big league fellers" are
| figuring on war.
Nothing but barred teeth in gritted
laws and a mumbled "they'll have to
accent the draft soon," were shown
by the bosses of the big circuit when
they gathered for their last chance at
oratory.
Real war, promiscious raids and re-
ducton of treaties to scraps of paper
were advocated as retaliation by sew
eral of the radical magnates.
When Charley Ebhetts, the Brook
lyn sure, proposed blacklist at
the December meeting, he was
smothered by the more hopeful, who
thought Commissioner Lands would
only have to wave his hand and a
rev agreement would pop out of the
hat
Since then several OF the magnates,
witnessing the failure of the class
Al leagues to see the light, are be-
ginning to look at the problem as one
to be solved by the big stick proposed
by the squire.
All of the major league club own
ers are not losing sleep over the
draft. Some of the wealthy clubs
down in their hearts would just as
soon continue with the open market
prevailing because they could ouGbld
the less moneyed clubs.
