The Waterloo Creamery Company's
properties, located at Elsie, Ovid and
Eureka, were bid off to Fred Hooper,
OF Alma, for SCI 900 at the receivers
sale held at the court house in St.
Johns last Thursday afternoon. The
National Bank of Commerce, of To-
ledo, bid 100000. Mr. Hooper paid Is
per cent down, $3.50.
This foreclosure sale was held to
satisfy claims, amounting to nearly
$4,000, which the Toledo bank held
against Leroy Corliss and the Water
loo Creamery Company. The Toledo
bank started the suit against the
Waterloo Creamery Company in Gin
ton County Circuit Court back in
1920. The bank won its case and in
October Of that year Judge +. J.
Monet appointed Thomas X. Stead
man, of Elsie, as temporary re-
ceiver.
Following this appointment the
Toledo bank asked for an accounting
for first lien on the creamery prop
by the receiver. In his decree Judge
Monet granted these petitions and
appointed Mr.. Steadman permanent
receiver.
In the meantime the Waterloo Com
pany entered suit in the United
States District Court at Detroit for
damages against Fred Bennett, presi-
dent Of the Ekenberg Company, of
CORTLAND, N. Y, and Baltzer c.
Kramer, of Toledo. This case has
not yet been settled and the Water
loo Company asks that no money
from the foreclosure sale be paid over
until the District Court decides the
damage suit.
The sum of 900, which Mr..
Hooper bid for properties, still leaves
a deficit Of about $4,000 which is
still due the National Bank of Com
merce from the Waterloo Creamery
Company. The Toledo bank may sue
the bondsmen of the Waterloo Com
pany for this amount.
Before the sale was held Scarf &
Scarf, attorneys for the Creamery
Company, arranged for settlement
with f. c. Froehlich, who was in st.
Johns, as a representative Of the To-
ledo bank. According to VIM. c.
Scarf he refused to stand by the
terms of settlement. Judge Scarf
handled the bidding Of Mr. Hooper
and Mr.. Froelich offered up to $780,
900 for the bank.
During the time of the receivership,
since October, 1920, the receiver, Mr..
Steadman, under the order Of the
court, has been operating the plants
on a cooperative basis for the bene-
fit of all concerned, owners, creditors
and patrons. 1t is probable that the
plants will continue TO be operated in
this manner for the present.-St.

Sudan Grass PrOUes
Value as Pasture

East Lansing, April 27.-That SUI
dan grass is practically the only crop
that can be sown during the late
spring and early summer and provide
satisfactory pasture for horses and
cattle, is the statement Of c. X. Me-
gee, Of the NJ. A. c. farm crops depart
ment.
"Many livestock farmers will be
short of pasture this year, due to loss
Of seedlings from drought the past
season, says Mcgee. IF the pasture
is for hogs or sheep, rape may be
used to advantage, but it is not very
desirable for horses or cattle. For
them Sudan grass is about the only
avilable crop which can be planted in
the late spring or early summer.

Alma Affirmative
Will Meet OiiUet

Friday night Alma's affirmative
team consisting of Wyatt, Dasef, and
Zinn will clash wits with the negative
aggregation from Olivet. The de-
bate will be held as usual in the col
lege chapel and no admission will be
charged. 1t is expected that Oivet
will put up a hard battle as she has
debated twice this year on the closed
shop question, and has left nothing
undone to put herself in a position to
get revenge for the defeat which she
entered last year at the hands of
uar,;Iton's forensic artists. While
the Alma team lacks experience in
debating this particular question, il
hos the advantage Of having two
veterans in the persons Of Wyatt and
Dasef. while Znn is an old head at
public speaking and has Shown up
exceptionally well in intramural de-
hating.
The same night the negative team
will Journey to Detroit and battle
,v;tb Detroit Junior. The Detroit
team has a reputation of being well
nrepared and perfectly at home on
Tho pIatform, and it is certain that
!, will keep the Alma team busy
a,ma's negative will consist of two
letter men, Vreeland and Wilson, and
ono new man, Freeman, who has
shown up well in the DEBATING class
,h;s wear. These debates Will be
followed by a dual debate with Hope
the next week.

AWAITING FINAL
TRACK CONTEST
Davenport to Appear for First Time
This Year In Track Events
mt Moline.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

With Davenport participating in
the Quad-City track meet Saturday
afternoon at Browning field, Mo-
line, the keen competition whenev-
er Rock Island, Moline and the men
across the river are together, will
be evident. This will be the first
quad-city track event that Daven-
port has participated in this year
and should prove to be a harder
and more interesting afternoon
than when the Big Eight teams
locked horns. The Davenporters
withdrew from the first event, the
indoor meet, and were forced to
withdraw from the Big Eight be-
cause of the Iowa state meet which
occurred the same afternoon. Re-
ports from the Davenport school
are that it will be in the meet
from start to finish and will make
up for lost time.
Should Be Close.
The meet should be close all the
way. Very little is known of Dav-
export by the Islanders and the
Swedes. but there is no question
but what the two schools on this
side of the river are about even.
Although Moline won the Big Eight
event, Rock Island finished in fair
shape and Coach Kimmel is of the
opinion that first places won by
Canton and Galeshurg last Satur-
day viii fall to the Islanders in this
meet.

LONDON ARE READY TOCONCEDE

London, May 12.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The blow with
which Georges Carpenter knocked
out Ted Kid Lewis, in the first
round of their championship bout
here last night, was legitimate, in
the judgment of the so-called ex-
perts who reported the fight. Cries
of foul" came from all parts Of
the Olympic, auditorium when the
decisive blow was struck.
Joe Palmer, the referee, is
quoted in the Daily Telegraph as
saying:
"The blow was perfectly fair.
The men had broken from a clinch
and it was Lewis business to pre-
tect himself. This he failed to do"
1t is asserted by some of the
newspaper writer's that Lewis had
several times delivered blows on
previous break-aways, though they
did not land, and his failure to
guard himself in the final break is
declared an amazing blunder which
disregarded all elements of boxing.
One or two of the reporters.
while conceding that Carpenter, by
the strict letters of the rules, was
rightly proclaimed winner, predict
that the legitimacy of a knockout
during a break-away will be long
debated, and that Lewis supporters

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
Jackson Eli Reynolds, president
of the First National bank of New
York, has just been elected a life
trustee of Columbia university. A
bit more than 25 years ago the
writer saw a sturdy, well built
halfback playing behind the Leland
Stanford line in game at Berke-
ley. Attention was particularly at
tracted to him because of his ster-
ling play.
It was found at the end of the
game that this man had played
through the latter half with a frac-
tured clavicle. He took his degree
from Stanford in 1896 and later a
law degree from Columbia. The
same spirit that showed in Jack
Reynolds in his undergraduate days
carried him successfully up the
rungs of the ladder to the presi-
dency of a great New York bank
and now the honor of life trustee
al Columbia.
DR. Angel. the Yale president, at

SOU'PAW TURNS
MULLENS BACK
IN 81 BATTLE
Twiris Himself Out of Tight Situa.
ton When Three Are on and
None Out.
Especial to The Argus.)

Dubuque, Iowa. May LIT re-
NAMED for one Mr.. Emil Hoeft,
southpaw on the twirling staff Of
Councilman & Co., to turn Dubuque
back in the third game of the ser
les yesterday and give the Islanders
their first victory of the road trip.
The score was to 1.
Lefty was in command OF the
situation throughout Only once
was he in apparent trouble. That
was in the second inning. A double
by Graves, a pass to Jando and an
infield scratch hit by Hepner,
clogged the bases with no one
down Right here Hoeft showed the
mettle of which he is made. Pulling
his belt up notch tighter, he pro-
ceeded to force Black to pop up to
Shortstop Jelinek, and Bowman the
same to McEwan Hoeft then
slipped a little, walking Riley and
forcing in one run, but Young
grounded to Swenson for the third
out
The game was really pitchers
duel between Hoeft and Bowman.
The Islanders scored one in the
opening inning. Jelinek led off
with a triple to deep left field and
scored ON a sacrifice fly delivered
by Wally Newell. The visitors went
scoreless until the sixth inning,
when after two were down an err
ror by Graves, Conzelman's single
and Fillingham's double scored
two.
The Islanders gave Hoeft spark
ling support in the field, two double
plays nipping what looked like
promising rallies of the home
boys. Swenson, McEwan and Gray
figured in one and Hoeft, McEwan
and Colzelman in the other.
