CHANGE DATE FOR
joint MEETING

Louisville, Ky, Dec. Shy A. P.)
There is no possibility of Commits
sioner Lands reconsidering his plans
to hold joint meeting of the major
leagues in New York, December IA.
as originally scheduled, regardless of
whether there is American League
participation in the session. The
American League club owners are
scheduled to hold their annual meet
ing in Chicago, December 10.
Commissioner Lands made his de-
cision plain tonight when beseiged
for a statement as to his intentions,
but his only reply was that the joint
meeting would be held as announced
He explained that he had issued his
call for the meeting three weeks
ago; that every club owner and Off
cial of the two leagues had been in
formed, and that the call had been
issued on the assurances given dur
American and National Leagues
would hold their annual meetings in
New York.
After a brief session, the club
owners of the American association
adjourned tonight without adopting
a schedule for the 1923 campaign.
The starting date will be dependent
upon the date selected by the majors
for the opening.
Pitcher Jim Bagby, veteran with
the Cleveland Americans, was sold
today to the Pittsburgh Nationals,
but the purchase price was announc-
ed. Bagby has been with Cleveland
for five years. His best season was
1921, when he won thirty one games.

The weak spot in the league is at

u MINUTES ACTUAL
PLAYING Tim E IN
TYPICAL GRID CLASH

Boston, Dec. "a typical football
game of four Is minute periods, in
fact is g. contest of only about IL
minutes of actual play. Instead of
the long sessions of stiff contacts
which are the impressions of spec
tators at the games that take from
finish. the ball is in real play prob
ably less than three minutes in each
period. Calling signals takes up four
times as much of the playing period
as the plays themselves.
These are the conclusions gained
after an analysis of the Holy Cross
Boston College game played here
last Saturday. The analysis was
made by Fred w. Burleigh, who has
officated at the principal college
games for many years.
BY applying stop watch on each
of the 132 plays in the game, Bur-
leigh found that the ball was in ac-
tual flight only IL minutes, % sec
onds, from starting whistle to finish
horn The average time for each
play from the time the ball was
snapped back by the center to the
time it was declared dead, was 81
seconds. Each play averaged 27.2
seconds. of which % seconds was
taken by the quarterbacks to call
signals.
The periods were of Is minutes
each, the official watch being stop
ped to allow for all delays between
the time the ball was declared dead
and the time the teams lined up
ready to start the play again. The
watch operated by Burleigh caught
the times,of the interior action, that
is, from the actual swapping of the
ball.
In the first period there We're Sd
plays, consuming an aggregate of ac-
tual play of three minutes. 1G sec
onds. In the second period 81 plays
took two minutes. 40 seconds. In
the third period the same number of
plays took two minutes. sc seconds.
and the last period had So plays in
two minutes. 81 seconds. The uni
formity of the number Of plays to
the period was also considered of
interest as bearing on the contention
of some students of the game that
contests should be governed by such
count rather than by the time.
In the four periods, forty eight
minutes. p seconds We're consumed
in giving signals, IL minutes. 223 sec

A marked reaction, under the cir

Farmers in the Red River valley and
other sections of the state, says Mr..
Tolaas, are giving to the thought OF
the substitution of sugar beets for
part of their potato acreage. Sugar
beet growers had good season in
1923. At the prevailing price of 81
a ton, they had net returns of SI''
to $50 an acre, depending on yields.
With a minimum price of ST a ton

URGES FEDERAL
FARMFlNANCES
Favors Federal Structure tc
Finance Production and
Marketing Crops

Washington, Dec. 21 Especial
Correspondence).-A complete plan
for rural credits for producing and
marketing farm commodities was
presented to the Senate Committee
on banking by Geo. C. Jewett, gen
eral manager of the Northwest
Wheat Growers, associated, with OF
fices in Minneapolis, MINI. This Or
ganization is the selling agency for
Wheat Growers associations in five
northwestern states.
Mr.. Jewett's plan was in striking
contrast to that proposed by Aaron
Sapiro, cooperative attorney, whose
testimony preceded that OF Mr..
Jewett.
Mr.. Sapiro advocated that the
Federal Reserve act be amended so
as to extend the time of maturity
from 6 to 9 months on agricultural
paper, and would make use of ex-
isting banks for getting loans to
farmers, and favored state instead
of national action in the provision
of loans for growing crops.
Mr.. Jewett' 'sSrecommendation adj
vocated a complete federal system,
adequate to meet needs of farmers
for producing and marketing all ag-
ricultural products under control q;
the Federal Farm Loan Board or
an official body of similar character.
There would be established regional
banks with a capital of S5,OOO.OOO
each to be purchased and clntlnu-
ously owned by the government.
These regional banks would be
empowered to rediscount agricultur-
al paper for country banks, with a
nine month maturity and to loan di-
rect to livestock associations on live
stock loan collateral with a maturity
of three years They would alsr
loan to cooperative marketing as
sociations on security consisting of
commodity handled, represented hl
warehouse receipts. The plan pro-
vides for the organization of local
credit associations of farmers for
the purpose of borrowing directly
from the regional banks.
The board would issue debentures
and loans for production, and those
for marketing would be divided to
show which type of loan supported
a particular debenture issue.
Partly as a result of Mr.. Jewctt' y
appearance before the senate bank
ing committee, the National Inter-
Cooperative conference then in ses-
sion at Washington, broadened 1t
rural credit recommendations to in
clude the establishment of regional
banks, with capital sufficient to is
sue farm credit to the maximum OF
six hundred million dollars.
Representatives OF the Wheat
Growers associations regarded this
as distinct victory.
