Him Out

PHILADELPHIA. oct. "A ter
rifle right to the jaw from Mickey
Walker In the sixth round Of their
bout here last night ended Bobby
Barrett's dream of wearing Mickey's
welterweight crown and also ended
one OF the fiercest ring battles seen
in the Quaker city for years.
Barrett met his master, but ac-
knowledged It only after taking q
severe beating that started right In
the opening frame when he went
down six times running, the ben
saving him on, one occasion. Three
times Mickey's punches knocked
him from his UNDERSTANDING and
three times he sagged to the can
vas, from sheer weakness. Despite
Barrett's famed punches, Walker
showed himself a real champion by
smuggling toe to toe with his op-
ponent all through the battle.

TWO NEW RECORDS
ARE SET BY HoRNSBY

ST. LOUIS, October 2. - Rogers
Hornsby, Cardinal second baseman,
today took place beside the great
est hitters in baseball history. In
the season closed here yesterday
Hornsby established two new rec
ords, one in batting average and
the other in leading his league for
the fifth consecutive season.
Hornsby finished with 227 hits in
142 games, making q. season aver
age Of .42S51, four points above
George Gisler's mark of two years
ago. Sisler had an approximate
.42O average, which tied Tyrus
Cobb's record set in, 1911, the high
water mark Of modern baseball.
The previous consecutive year
batting record was held by lIonus
Wagner, who led his league four
consecutive years.
Hornsby failed in his effort to
lead the league in runs scored. He
tailed only once in the double
header yesterday and thus raised
his total to 121, which ties Frank
Frisch, Of the Giants.

because it Is possible that one club

unit during the late weeks Of the
season. Frisch, Gowdy, Young and
Kelly were the only members of

TURES IN GEORGIA SHOWS
ADVANCE IN FARMING.

ATLANTA, Ca Something OF the
rapidity with which progressive farm
ing is being introduced throughout
Georgia, as we'll as of the great adj
vance being made in the growing OF
leguminous crops in the state, can be
seen in the great increase in the de-
mand for bacterial cultures made upon
the state department of agriculture in
the past three years. This department
has for a number Of years been max
ing up bacterial cultures for various
leguminous crops, experiments having
shown that this offered the most prac-
teal method of getting start where
no legumes have been grown before.
Fifty varieties of cultures have been
put out by the state, which sells
them at cost, this being about 80
cents for enough to inoculate one acre
OF land. In 1922 only LOO acres
worth of cultures were sold to- farm
ers of the state; in 1923 little more
than 5000 acres we're sold. This year
it is estimated by the department that
fully 10000 acres of cultures will be
sold throughout the state, or ten times
as much as was sold two years ago.
In many instances the cultures are be-
ing purchased in large quantities by
cooperative organizations and county
agents; in more instances individual
farmers are doing the purchasing.
Among the bacterial cultures sold
are alfalfa. southern bur clover, Cali
fornia bur clover, yellow trefoil fenu-
greek, white sweet clover, yellsG
sweet clover, bitter clover, red clover,
white clover, crimson clover, berseem,
shoftal clover, alsike, rabbitfoot clio

pea, spring vetch, hairy vetch, black

ida velvet bean, Yokohamas velvet
bean, lima bean, yellow lupine, wild
lupine, Sarradella, hairy lespedeza, ia
Fan clover, peanut, chick pea sulla,
sainfon and beggar-weed.
More than 100 samples OF culture "a
day are being sent out by the Georgia
department OF agriculture at the pres
ent time, and the demand is steadily
increasing, it is stated.
