STABILIZED MARKET
IS FARM AID PLAN
President of Fruit Growers
Association Would Consider
Cost of Production.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
G. G. league, president Of the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Exchange, laid
before the House agriculture committee
today plan that contemplates stabiliz-
ing markets on the basis of cost of pro-
duction.
The plan. which league said had been
worked out by the Los Angeles Chamber
of Commerce, proposed that stabiliza-
ton corporation should go into the mar
ket to buy surplus commodities after
prices had fallen below the cost Of pro-
duction.
The plan contemplated setting up
only one sterilization corporation to
eliminate the overhead cost necessary
to maintain different corporations for
the separate commodities.
league contended that there would be
no losses If the corporation bought the
surplus after the price fell below the
cost of production, because he felt the
price could not remain at such level.
The grower, he said, could not continue
to produce below that level, and prices
automatically would rise.

SCHMEL|NG SAILS
WITH BODYGUARD
Small Boy Almost Breaks Up
Departure by Trying to
Serve m
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
n EW YORK, August "A body
~ guard of huskies turned out
NJ today to protect Max Schmel-
/ ing. ls5-pound heavyweight
prize fighter. and see him safely
aboard the liner Albert BALM, bound
for Germany.
In spite Of all efforts to safeguard
the young Teuton. whose triumphant
quest of the vacant heavyweight title
was cut short by controversies with his
deposed German manager, Arthur
Buelow. and the New York State Ath-
letic Commission, one very small and
completely awed messenger boy almost
broke up the party. The boy almost
succeeded in serving a summons on
Schmeling in one of the many legal
tangles now involving the boxer.
The husky guards, bolstered by
friends who had come to see Schmel-
ing of on his vacation to the home
land, formed a ring about the gladiator
and managed to keep the boy away.
The youngster got a draw. however,
when he showed the legal papers into
the hands of one of the party. The
summons was hastily dropped and
finally pigeon-holed in q fence sur
rounding the pier.
Schmeling said that he planned no
matches In Europe and did not know
when he would return to the United
States. Joe Jacobs. Schmeling'S
manager. who supplanted Buelow, said
he hoped to have Schmeling's boxing
license restored in New York State In
time for the Teuton to meet the winner
Of the Tommy Loughran-Jack Sharkey
match here next month.
Schmeling was accompanied abroad
only by his trainer.

w YHILE September, the sixth
"a and last lap Of the major
wv league races, Ia waiting just
around the corner. the Ath-
letics and Cubs are dashing
along undisturbed toward the next world
series. Meanwhile. the base ball world
is wondering what the ivory hunters
have bagged to make the races closer
and more interesting next year.
Scarcity Of promising material Is food
for discussion as the season waneS. l
have talked with several scouts, and
they all say 1t has been a dull season
for picking phenoms. A story is going
the rounds concerning the dearth Of new
talent. A prominent scout who had
been jumping all over minor league
territory received this wire from his
magnate:
Comb the prune and pepper league
for pitcher. outflelder and third base
man, and make report by wire"
Only Got Dandruf.
Shortly afterward the scout sent this
reply:
"Combed circuit and got nothing but
%drandruff."
So If you happen to know a base ball
scout who has gone Dull and pessimistic
o know the reason.
Most common regarding the lack of
good new material is the belief that
the growth Of golf has eliminated hum
dredS Of potential players by enticing
tiers there is the conviction that basket
ball and various other Fall and Winter
sports which give the youth an oppor-
tunity to work off his surplus energy
keep him of the sandlots when Spring
comes.

50.439 miles an hour. During the
sixth lap Of three miles he sped around
the course at 81 .965 miles an hour, for
the fastest time of the day.
Second Heat Slower.
The second neat was taken q little
slower. but the Imp remained mistress
of the battle at every turn. She covered
the second dash around the course in
1887, for an average speed Of Asst
miles per hour. Then in the third heat,
with Sam B. Dunsford's Scotty push
ing him during the early stages, Hoyt
again stepped his water demon up to
an average speed of 48.829 miles an
hour for an elapsed time Of 37:16:56.
Scotty, entered by Sam Dunsford Of
Wolfeboro. N. H., failed to finish the
last heat, but piled up enough points in
the first two phases Of the race to take
ard Holbrook's radically constructed
Jersey Lightning. which finished third
in the second heat and second n the
final dash after dropping out Of the
opening 80 miles when her rudder was
lost.
Scotty lost an opportunity to grab
the lead in the second heat, when
Dunsford turned back to the aid of
geles when they turned turtle at the
start of the fifth lap in attempting to
take a sharp corner going at better
than As miles an hour. Snoddy and
his mechanic were thrown from the
flying boat, but outside of being badly
shaken up they were not injured seri-
ously. The accident, however. forced

However, the president OF the Amer
lean League offers an entirely different
viewpoint.
development Of the professional ball
player has been retarded In a meas
ure of circumstances encountered only
once in the history Of the game" he
said. The war period Of 1917. 1918
and 1919 created q I'll S o far as
development of players was concerned.
The following years Of 1920-l92l found
the Nation struggling with industrial
conditions and problems. That made
five consecutive years when the sand
lotters and professionals were at low
ebb. The game should grad
ually in the vital business of develop
ing its players"
Rich Teams.
Other close observers point to the
non-selective draft established several
years ago as q device which has OPP
Grated against better balanced races In
the major leagues. Several minor
leagues adhere to this policy Of ignoring
the draft. by reason Of which hundreds
Of players formerly graduated to the
majors at a fixed and reasonable price
The non-selective draft is strictly a SELL
or-keep proposition, and the sale of a
player is made to the club able and
willing to meet the price.
This means that the highest bidder
gets the player. Base ball is not diff
ferent from other enterprises wherein
power is based upon wealth. The most
affluent major league teams get the
cream and leave the skinned milk for
their respective competitors. There
fore. the club wner who unfortunately
possess lean bank rolls are invariably
headed toward the second division.

LOUGHRAN THINKS
COURTNEY IS GOOD
Says He Ranks lust Behind
Braddock in Race for
Light Heavy Title.
BY TOMMY


Lisht-Heavyweieht Champion Of the World
w : : ( : !; !; {: s Ga &; 'i iF;:$; n
George Courtney, the Okla
homa cowboy, is runner-up. These two
fellows, in my opinion, are away ahead
OF the rest Of the field, and will even
tually fight it out for the title when ]
hand 1t IN to the commission.
Perhaps some folks will be surprised
at my rating Courtney so high. lie
isn't a boxer, but neither is any Of the
others. He has great speed, and is a
fine hitter with either hand. He has
stand UP under a wallop.
Knocked Out Tom Kirby.
One Of his best feats was a knockout
of Tom Kirby. Tom is a smart, defen-
sive boxer. and hard to land on prop
erly. Yet Courtney swarmed all over
Kirby and stopped him in a couple OF
rounds. He has also beaten Jack Nc
Vey and other men who knew some
thing about protecting themselves.
George was a middleweight during
most Of my campaigning in the light
heavyweight ranks, or I would nave
given him a shot at my title. Still e
young fellow in the formative stages, he
was putting on weight all the time, and
has only recently been graduated into
the light-heavyewight class.
He Is far ahead of most Of the fell
lows discussed as my successor, and
would. I think, stage a great fight with
Braddock.
During the last week or two my man
ager, Joe Smith, has received a dozen
offers Of training sites for my match
with Sharkey. Among those who put
in a bid were the folks who arranged
for Gene Tunney to train at Strouds-
burg. Pa. However. ! guess I'll be back
at HarVeys Lake, Pa. where I prepared
for a number Of my other bouts.
Three Weeks for Training.
I expect to start work Immediately
after Labor day. That will give me
three weeks to get ready for Sharkey.
and three weeks is plenty of time con-
sidering the shape l am in how. I eX-
pect to go into the ring around 1876. so
Jack won't have very much advantage
in size or weight. Those who saw me
against Jack Gross know I hit pretty
hard when I'm not handicapped by
matchmaking.
I'm going to surprise Sharkey and
every one else. I believe, with my
punching on the night of September rs.
/ don't think I'll have to sacrifice speed
or skill to get a wallop into tNSt match.
