VOLUME OF LUMBER
SHIPMENTS is HEAVY
Enormous Demands in South Off,
set Falling Off in More North
erly Sections of Country.

The lumber movement is we'll sus-
tanned, softwood shipments for the
week ended November amounting
to 81 per cent of the current produc-
ton. In the Central States Winter
weather is handicapping the move
ment from retail yards to farm con-
sumers, and rains in the South are
having the same effect. The market
in the Northeast is also less active.
Florida and the Gulf States, however.
are taking enormous quantities OF
lumber. 1t may confidently be expect
ed, says the American Lumberman,
Chicago, that as soon as dry weather
in the South allows cotton picking to
be completed and building to be be-
gun, rural demand there will make
large drafts on the mills.
Southern pine production by large
mills has suffered some curtallment
by rains, and many of the smaller
mills have been forced to close down.
Large pine mill output is about 10
per cent below normal, and current
orders were more than s per cent
ahead of production. The West Coast
mills shipped 90 per cent of their
weeks cut, but new orders were re-
ceived for only 80 per cent of the cut.
Stocks at Southern pine mills snow
depletion, and it is becoming difficult
for them to furnish dry lumber.
Evening star., 1925-11-28

Stocks at coast mills have increased,
but it is pointed out that for the
year to date they have shipped per
cent more than they produced. The
coast mills appear determined on bet
ter marketing practices, and there
have been suggestions that. until
Spring demand opens, the mills op-
crate only five days a week.
Demand for the Southern hard
woods continues very active. and the
furniture factories especially show
eagerness to provide for their Winter
needs in gum. The Southern forests
are so saturated with continued rains
that logging is impossible, and fur
ther mill shutdowns may be expected

His most lucrative method Of
earning q living in the old days
was by fighting Jack Britton. They
engaged III no less than nineteen
battles, occupying some 1874 rounds
OF effort. Each OF them won three
decisions, and one draw was fought.
Britton knocked out Lewis In one
battle and they danced through
eleven no-decision contests.
This act was the greatest ~
the boxing game. Sam Langford
had q regular circuit Of opponents,
meeting Joe Jeanette ten times,
Young Peter jackson eight, Larry
Temple seven and George Gunther
and Sam McVey five times each,
but he never could get away with
it as well as Britton and Lewis
did.

take him South and two other

him.
MaIIett said he preferred Roches-
ter because his fellow townsn1an
Walter Beall. had done so well
there.
George Mogridge. Washington's
star southpaw, who winters at his
home here, when asked about
Mallett, said:
HAS Rochester signed him?
II should say do know that
boy. He war out with us at
Washington, whenever we were
home during the summer. and IL
he is not an Al prospect !
never saw one, remember one
day toward the very close OF
the season, Muddy Ruel was Civ.
ing him workout and he came
into the bench and remarked.
That chap has as good curve
as Walter Beall. know that
the Washington club was after
him, but understood that he
could not get out of the navy.
Mark my words, Mallett will
make a winning pitcher, not only
for Rochester, but for any club

Despite alI this, Jimmy insisted

felt he was in shape and ne was
so earnest about being given II
chance that he was allowed TO come

He had to finish among the first
four to win the coveted honor to
represent his county at the Olympic
games. Not even his warmest adj
mirers thought that he could do 1T,
but he was determined. Off with
the crack Of the gun the Hilltop
lad kept in the van Of the mob.
Though fast losing strength, he
was running with his heart and In
stead OF fading on the homestretch,
he managed to finish fourth, auto
maticalIy becoming member Of
the Olympic team. It was one Of
the most COURAGEOUS races Of his
career and one Of the best Of the

Then came the trip to Paris for
the young Hilltopper. the many

joined the Americans In Paris.
Three out Of the. four tryouts re-
suited In victories for the Hill

Burgess never whimpered., He
took the judgment Of the coaches

proceeded to show the same coaches
that their judgment was faulty. He
went to Ireland and established q
new record for ireland for the
uuarter-milei dash. Then coming
