CUT WHEAT YIELD,
KANSANS ADVISED
Farmers Aid Asked to Com
bat Situation Regarded
as "AFeady Acute"
By the Associated Press.


TOPEKA, Kans., April 4-Kansas
farmers, who annually produce about
one-fifth Of the Nations wheat, have
been warned by the State board of agri-
culture to decrease their yield in order
to combat a situation already acute"
The warning was issued through fear
that the problem of storing large 1880
crop, because of a large 1929 carry
over, would be serious one"
Resolutions, made public yesterday,
pointed out that the Federal Farm
Board has seen fit to remove millions
of bushels of wheat from commercial
channels in order to stabilize prices.
Growers also were requested to provide
suitable storage facilities Ion the farm,
or elsewhere" for this years crop.
The board recommended that wheat
acreage be reduced until the abnormal
surplus has disappeared and, where pos
sible, that the planting OF other crops,
or in areas of light rainfall a Summer
fallow rotation system be substituted"

CRICKET PLAYER MAKES
INTERNATIONAL RECORD

CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand. jan
uary ii GA feat unparalleled in In
ternational cricket was performed here
yesterday in the opening Of the test
match between England and New Zea-
land when M. JIG. Allom, young Sur.
rey amateur, captured the wickets OF
four batsmen with five balls. He also
did the "Hattrick," taking three wickets
with successive balls.
The wicket was in excellent condi-
ton, but Allom found 1t entirely to
his liking. He sent down number Oh
offerings which came up fast from the
pitch with a leg break. After a dozen
overs he was quite unplayable. Nichols
kept a consistent length and with Al
lom bowled practically through the en-
tire New Zealand innings.

PAULINE, IN RALLY,
L|CKS Won PORAT
After hree-Round Beating
Basque Easily Scores
Over Otto.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, January l1.-Old
nj Pauline Uzcudun, the braUny
Basque woodchopper, may be
going back, but Otto Won Porat,
betting Norwegian from Chicago, Will
never believe 1t.
Otto poured heavy rights and lefts
into Umsie's rock-ribbed chin for three
rounds of their 1o-round match in
Madison Square Garden; had the Span
lard tottering about apparently ready
for knockout and then saw, and felt,
Pauline rally fiercely to gain the de-
cision as 10000 of the faithful cheered
him on.
It was an amazing victory for the
woodchopper, who seemed In recent bat
ties to have lost much of the effective
ness that carried him to victory over
many of the leading heavyweights OF a
year or so ago.
It appears likely that Pauline, in all
his career, never absorbed so terrific a
beating as he did in the first three
rounds last night. Won Porat, punching
accurately and with deadly power, sank

into the Basuue's body with heavy body
blows. After three rounds of this pun
ishment Paulino's nose was bleeding
freely, his left eye turned red and his
face was badly battered.
Then the woodchopper began to fight.
He charged in close and belted Won
Porat about the body until the Nor
wegian was forced to abandon his sharp
shooting and spend all his time evolving
a defense for Paulino's leather barrage.
which seemed to come from every direc-
ton at once.
Won Porat tired under the Spaniard's
relentless attack and lost the punching
accuracy that, early in the fight, seemed
to forecast the first knockout of Paulinos
career. Won Porat took the first three
rounds, but Pauline won all the rest ex-
cept the fourth, which was even.
After the fight the Norwegian said ne
had been handicapped from the fourth
round on by injuries to his hands.
Won Porat had 6-pound edge in the
weights. He scaled 203l2 to 1861 for
Pauline.

LAYTON AGAIN KING

N YEW YORK, January 11.-Johnny

cushioned billiard world for
the eighth time in 20 years OF COM

He retained his title last night by
downing otto Reiselt of Philadelphia,
so to 80 in AZ innings. 1t was the final
round of the weeks tournament.
Although the pair of old masters
have been battling in championship
three cushion play together for
decade it was the first time they nave
ever met in final game. Reiselt won
his only title in 1925, while Layton was
in retirement. Last night the little
Philadelphia German stylist sought 10
match Layton with a daring safety
game. For % innings he was successful
turning in billiard for carom.
Layton Gets Hot.
Then came the break. With clock
like consistency Layton began to roll
I'D the score. In 16 innings he counted
40 billiards. % of which were made IN
the last eight innings. 1t was during
this remarkable squirt that the cham
pion ran his hlgh cluster o! o. neiselC
sought to stay in the battle, counting
8 in two consecutive innings, but as a
rule he found himself fronted with a
defensive style of play that was almost
as brilliant as Layton's offense.
Born in the Illinois village OF
stewardson, Layton started playing
pocket billiards in 1902 His FIRST year
he won the St. Louis City title and the
Missouri State championship.
Came Up In 1909.
It was not until 1909, however, that
he became a national figure. over the
2O-year stretch he never finished below
second in championship competition
In 1916 he won his flrst WORLDS pocket
title and then turned to three-cushion,
at which he won his initial champion
ship in 1920, defeating the late Boo

may not have retired from the fist-flght
business after polishing of AL Spohrer
in Boston last night, but promoter Jim
Mullen today expressed the hope that
he might induce the babbling ball play
er-pugilist to engage in one more fight.
Mullen wants Shires to meet George
Trafton, his conqueror, in a return en-
gagement. The big professional foot
ball player is willing and Shires had
expressed a desire to reverse the de-
cision victory scored by Traitor.
Meanwhile Mullen also is attempting
to match Battling Criss, the heavy
weight from Rockford, Mich, with
Trafton. Criss got his name in the
papers by claiming somebody asked
him to lay down to Shires in fight
which was to have taken place in De-

Is wrong or incorrectly done and his
head and neck are locked to his spine
to such a degree that any freedom of
hand and arm movement Is almost i'm
possible. Under such conditions 1t is
also practically impossible for him to
keep his head where it should be
through the moment Of impact.
Only One Bout.
Unless Jack Dempsey returns to
" action there will be only one heavy
weight bout this next season that will
mean anything. That will have to be
Schmeling. They stand out as the only
two survivors who should settle the
argument. One trouble here is that
Schmeling needs at least one hard
test, possibly two, before he Is ready
to face as good q man as Sharkey. He
has wasted the better part of year
through the worst handling any heavy
weight prospect ever drew. Schmeling
was the best looking shot Of the lot
last Summer, but almost everything
possible has been done to kill his
chance. II he can overcome this handi-
cap he will be q wonder. II Dempsey
steps back in he can outdraw Sharkey
and Schmeling thrown together. Along
his line q lot depends on just how the
situation develops later on. At this
point 1t has been almost wrecked.
The Broad and Narrow Line.
LERE is a peculiar feature of mod
i i ern foot ball. It can be shown
along the following lines:
Notre Dame had one of the great
teams Of the year, a team many rank
as the best, team that all must rank
as one Of the three best
Notre Dame won nine games, every
game played.
The Army team. outside of one lapse
coupled with a great individual run by
Jack Elder, had the edge over Notre
Dame in their annual meeting.
Yet this Army team did not win a
single big game out of five starts
against Harvard, Yale, Illinois, Notre
Dame and Stanford.
With no thought Of comparative
scores in mind, take this situation
Stanford was outplayed by Southern
California; Southern California was
outplayed by Notre Dame; Notre Dame
was outplayed by the Army and the
Army was rnassacred by Stanford.
All Of which is enough to prove that
modern foot ball, from one Saturday
to another. is about as uncertain as
base ball.
