Jack Dempsey may still be

have established a record for
longevity among heavyweight
champions. He will be eighty

the Cuban producers along this line
The government knows that the Gu
ban producers mean to get all they
can. They are in a position they feel
to recoup most of their losses of 1920
when in holding out for "A cents
sugar, they were caught in a spectacu-
lar drop and could not get rid of their
crop at any price. The rise in sugar
at this time is being engineered with
little more care.
This whole sugar situation. seem
ingly complicated, is very simple after
all. The inadequate domestic crop OF
cane sugar from Louisiana and beet
sugar fromthe West was marketed
months ago at low prices. When the
domestic crop was gone, the pNce OF
Cuban raw sugar began TO go up. For
the first time in years the demand
and supply of sugar this year are
about equal. This normally would
make for higher prices, but the Cuban
crop is being placed on the market
in small quantities and rising scale
Of prices demanded.
Just whyithe= price of Cuban raw
sugar. in, New ;Aork without duty3-
should increase something like 3 cents
in a little more than three months is
the problem for the government TO
solve and the refiners in New York
openly say it is because the demand
warrants such price. They feel that
no other explanation is necessary and
they ask what is the government to
do about it!
The government tried TO answer
that question by suing for an injunc-
ton aaginst the sugar exchange. The
refiners promptly say they don't have
anything TO do with the exchange and
that their business cannot be affected
by amy suit against that institution.
Meanwhile no relief from the high
prices is in sight.

Five Homers in Six
Times at Bat Record
of Old Sally Graves

One of the biggest comebacks
of the year has been almost over
looked.
George (Sally) Graves is hitting
better than 800 and has smashed
out twelve home-runs In twelve
games.
First thing you know Ike PEN
dleton will get out and steal 80
bases in a season, or something.
This home-run fever Of Graves
is figuring materially in the often
sive strength of the Eagle Furni-
ture nine.
Sally" is far and away the
king-pi Of the City League homer
hitters.
Imagine an average of a home
run every game! Then listen to
this:
Graves has hit five home-runs
in his last six times at bat in
league games.
Some clouting the old gent is
doing.
