Paddock Names
Many Probable
Olympic Stars

LOS ANGELES, Mar. 11.-Char-
ley Paddock, whose track predic-
tions have brought him more fame
than his lectures, ventures the as
sertion that the west will furnish
four middle distance candidates, for
the final Olympic tryouts, but who
will probably not make the team.
For the whole country, Paddock g
list reads: Dodge Oregon Agricul-
tural College; Boyden, California; ;
Smith, Stanford; Kerr, Stanford; !;
Ray, Illinois Athletic Club; Iielf-
frick, Penn State; Watson, Kansas;
Wolters, Chica go; Cox, MERGERS
berg.
"The west, though it may have
some candidates at Cambridge for
the final tryouts, does not appear
strong in the middle distance. Al
Smith and Bill Kerr of Stanford
and Boyden, formerly of California,
appear to be the most conspicuous
candidates. Though these men will
no doubt have it their own way in
western competition throughout the
session, the west is not east, when
it comes to middle distance running,
Just the same as America cannot
compare to Finland England over
some of these longer metric dis
tances. But from these ten men
one or more champions should be
able to uphold the United States
,.rpdit,blv in Paris -

Arrangements have been complet-
ed by the date growers department.
of the Farm Bureau and the Agri-
cultural Extension Service, for two

quarters of q mile west and one
fourth north of Brawley.
George Swami has invited all

Proper pollenizing of date palm
blossoms is ono of the most funda
mental and important operations
which date growers must practice,
according to Farm Advisor Garth
waite. The use of proper pollen
from good males is essential, but
many growers are not aware of the
difference. New methods have
been discovered which will cut
down the cost of this operation to
d minimum, and these methods viii
be demonstrated. A carload of ex-
pert growers and government Off

Rv HENRY J. PARREI.I.

NEW YORK, March IL" Jack
Dempsey viii not sign articles for
any fight and he will not talk busi.
ness with any promoter until he is
shown the money!, Jack Kearns,
manager of the heavyweight cham
pion said today.
Kearns said he had several reas
ons for refusing to talk business
with Rhode Island syndicate which
announced it was willing to pay
the champion 100000 for fight
ing Harry Wills on July 4. y
Tho most important reason is
that the Dempsey-Wills fight can
not be held in Rhode Island or any
other place this summer" he said.
~ know 1T can't be done and why
should l kid along any amateur pro-
moters who apparently are not
aware of it?'
Kearns said that Dempsey is
about ready to jump into ten weeks
Of movie work because he has been
offered nothing stronger than con-
versation for the return of the
champion TO the ring.
''Rickard hasn't offered us a
cent for the Gibbons fight that he
has been talking about, Kearns
said. "Wo have received no Offer
for mother fight with Firpo.h
The proposed match with Glib
bons in june does not seem to ap-
peal strongly TO Kearns. He claims
the public does net want it. He
seems to think that Dempsey will
be in forced idleness until late in
the summer when he may fight
Pirpo again.
Tex Rickard. said he had not
made Kearns an offer for the Glib
bons fight because 81 ain got
around to it YET He said he could
get it cleared ZIP in a couple of

'S6,13 RATES ARE
 QUOTED TO AUG. 1
Traffic Report Shows Most Active Period In
 Bureau History

,Report of c. K. Jones, secretary of the Birmingham Traffic association, to directors, covering the first seven months of 1924 indicates marvellous growth of the organization as con trasted with the same period last year.
 [Resume of the departmental work in- dicates that during the first seven months of 1924, S5,213 rates were quot ed versus 77,730 for the same period of last year. Expense bills numbering 164,- 446 were checked as contrasted with 62,29S for the first seven months of 1923, or an increase of 1921 In the auditing of these bills errors for the first seven months of 1924 were discov- cred in the amount of $50, ,03S.00, whereas for the same period of 1923 errors in the amount of $28, 8,301.23 were discovered, or an increase of $21, ,736.77.
 The report also shows that the asso- citation has been very active in rate ad- jpstment work and has been very sue cessful in closing out large number of adjustments by direct negotiations with the carriers. Generally speaking, these adjustments which are handled direct with the carriers involve the removal of discrimination against Birmingham and the discrimination to and from other points in which rates members of the association may be interested. Eight more formal complaints have been handled during the first seven months of this year than were handled during the same period of last year. It is also reported that the work of the associa- ton is now up to date and that the traffic matters for the membership are being handled daily as received in the office.

Among the many important festivities planned to obtain funds for the college, over which she twill have charge, is the Venetian Froic at Cascade Plunge Wednesday night. The frolic is fostered by the Birmingham Interclub council, composed of III yuong mems social clubs.
