GIBBONS LAST TRY FOR TITLE

GabbONS' LAST TRY FOR TITLE
The great middlewest always be-
lieved Mike Gibbons of st. Paul was
the greatest fighter OF all times at
his weight. and lined up solidly be-
hind the Phantom for his cham
pionShip battle with Mike CDowd
at ST. Paul the year following the
war.
The title was at stake but with
the no-decision law effective in
Minnesota IL was necessary for
Gibbons 10 register a knockout to
inherit the crown.
So before a $4,000 house. OH Nov.
u. 1919. with the club packed to
ratterS. these two masters or their
profession battled 10 rounds without
a knockdown and without a really
effective punch being landed.
Gibbons suffered a ceep cut over
his right eye in the fourth round
and bled freely until the finish. but
vas not seriously hurt at any time.
Gibbons couldn't hurt O'Dowd.
After the fifth round Gibbons grad
ually lost his speed and fire. AT the
finish the tide had definitely turn
ed toward ODcwd and even the
home town sympathizers OF Mike
readily agreed that nothing had
transDired that could ENJOY the
mantle from the shoulders Of the
visitor.
Gibbons had lost his chance To

President-Mansger Emil Fuchs
OF the Boston Braves has been
using a novel and SO far successful
method In dealing with holdouts
who arrive In camp at st. Peters,
burg. Fla.
Pat Collins told his chief he did
not like the terms offered him.
whereas Fuchs simply handed him
a blank contract and told him to
insert the amount he wanted III
he really believed he was worth it.
Collins thought 1t over for q while
and the contract came back signed
for the original amount.

full in California In the citrus in

exchange which handles the great
bulk OF all citrus produced there.
So. to perhaps a lesser degree in
Florida.
I have but one interest in this
matter and that is in seeing this
harmful competition here In the
Valley put at an end, SC that u
growers may present a solid front
in going into the markets Of the
nation with uniform quality, pack.
brand and price. / believe the ex-
change is the best agency to speed
that day because the exchange has
been in the field the longest and
has the largest membership and
because the exchange during the
past season. through its superior
marketing facilities and connec-
tons was able to pay the maximum
price TO its members: and let me
say parenthetically that this price.
with hardly a single exception. was
greater than that price by other
marketing agencies.
Sealed Sweet" and "Sunkist"
are the two biggest names in the
fruit world. because they have the
backing of two great marketing
organizations that represent the
great bulk Of the citrus growers of
Florida and California, respectively.
If we are TO emulate the exam
pie Of those two major producing
sections. we can not expect to do
it with a half dozen or more
brands. which will mean nothing
TO the consumer but must bring
TO bear the coordinated efforts of
a prepOnderance OF our growers.
whether that trade name be
"Texasweet" or something else; we
must have n major brand to pin
our faith to. The day is at hand
when our growers must give serious
heed to these things for we are
entering the period of mass produc-
ton and are soon to face the SER
ious problem Of finding good mar
kets for the great mass Of fruit
we are going to produce. We car
snout quality" all we want to.
n / think IL Is a paramount
proposition, but unless we can CO.
operate here in the Valley in the
citrus industry. and for that mat
ter the truck industry. too. the flu
ture is not rosiate with profits.
I feel that The Herald as the
outstanding medium Of public in
formation and public opinion
should set aside Its impartial air
as pertains 70 citrus marketing and
lend its vigor to speeding the day
OF one big exchange in the Valley.
Yours very truly.

To The Herald:

TO The Herald:
/ have read with considerable IN
terest your recent editorial on a
keting conditions in the Valley.
I feel restrained TO make a sug-
gestiun inasmuch as The Herald
occupies an outstanding position in
the Valley as a factor in shaping
public opinion. At the outset 7
want TO agree with you in your
criticism of our present haphazard
and disjointed system OF marketing.
but ! believe We have an organiza-
ton Of proven success and exper-
fence which we must begin TO look
to to solve our problems Of COM
petition here at home.
Competition is certainly injur-
ious enough in the markets OF the
north. and when we have 1t here
at the source OF production, then
we are at a marked disadvantage
in competing with other citrus pro-
ducing sections. i say citrus be-
! cause i think we should differen-
tiate between citrus marketing and
truck marketing and have dis
tinctly separate organizations for
handling each of these major clas-
sifications Of Valley produce.
You deplore lack Of cooperation,
but In doing that you have set
forth no constructive plan for COR
recting present marketing evils.
It seems that you do not place the
proper appraisal on the Texas Cit
Fruit Growers Exchange as the
outstanding medium of marketing

cation with the established nucleus

and competing elements In the

takes made in California and Flor

cations. If they have been success
