DEFEATS SAVOLD|
IN FREAKY CLASH
'FDrop Kick" Only Counts in
Disqualification of Joe in
- Tilt With Danno.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

IT'S all wrong. this whole game OF
wrestling. One can kid himself
into believing it is all on the
Il level, but he shouldn't after see
ing Danno O'Mahony, the Irishman,
supposedly ruler of the mat world
get verdict through disqualification
over Joe Savoldi, thought to be the
best of the American mat maulers.
It's a great sport, no doubt. The
public likes to be fooled. The mat
maddies thronged 5000 strong at the
ball yard gate last night. Yet those
who took soaking in the rain that
hastened the staging of the main go
ahead of the last two programmed pre-
liminary bouts certainly took licking.
If they bring Dapper Danno back
after what he did not do to Joe last
night THEY should be ashamed of
themselves. Dsnno is a nice lad, but
In wrestling terms he hasn't it.

Fine thus retains the championship.
He first acquired it at Minneapolis
three years ago. triumphed at Detroit
two years ago after close race with
Rlshevsky, and tied with the same
player at Chicago year ago. In the
preliminaries and finals this year he
was undefeated, though four draws
were scored against him in the finals.
The game between. Kashdan and
| Simonson was not completed until
the third sitting, when it was drawn.
| A result was necessary in order to
decide the third and fourth prizes.
The adjournment Of this game to Au-
gust l prevented Kashdan from fly
ing to New York City in time to sail
for Warsaw on August 2.
In consequence a sudden change in
the personnel of the team had to be
made and Kashdan, who has been
the mainstay of the team in winning
first place in the last two team tour
naments and bringing the cup to this
country, was left behind.
True, they have obtained a good
man in getting Israel Horowitz, but
not the equal of Kashdan. Horowitz
played on the team at Prague four
years ago, with the score of seven
wins, one loss and six draws, a
splendid standing. Two years ago, in
a contest for places on the team,
ne lost out, A. G. Simonson and
r. Fine winning places. Chess fans
Simonson did not agree upon a draw,
SO that Kashdan could have sailed
with the team.

which this family has been sticking
it out all these centuries. And small
one-some go acres of small fields,
partly wooded, falling away from a
hilltop on which has been leveled space
enough for a small, square house OF
stone and plaster, good-sized stone
barn and strawstack.
Sixty acres, most of it so steep that
in America it would probably be writ
ten off as pasturage or waste land. A
story and-a-half house, about 40 by 40
feet, with a low roof peaked from all
sides to the middle. A right big house,
at that, as present houses go, built in
l7O4 by the great great great-great-
grandsire of the present Pierre So the
records show; so the priest said; and
he said too, that in the six genera
lions since there have always been an
average of six children under that roof
But the age of the present house Is
as nothing compared to the tenure of
this family on this hill On exactly
these same small, rough fields, Antoine
Lafargue, a direct forbear, was tilling,
sowing and taking crops when, far to
the west, a sailor-so it is told saw
a seagull and Columbus discovered
a new world
Not only that: the Lafargues had
been there 720 years then; and there
have passed less than five centuries
since. When Shakespeare was born
they had been there, farming, for
nearly 800 years.
The title to this land is given in a
few lines of the last will and testa-
ment of one Johannis Lafargue, writ
ten in Latin, dated August 20, 1922 in
the reign of Charlemagne. In the elev-
en- and a half centuries since, the fam
lily line of direct descent, of active
ownership, has never been broken.
AS I go to the front door, Pierre
Lafargue comes out of his barn. He
has been bedding down his COWS, and
is after some more straw. A Drowned.
Wlry little man of SIXTY small, almost
gnome-like; he can't be an inch over
five feet. He wears blue smock and
heavy wooden Shoes He sees me and
comes toward me hesitatingly, but
with nothing of that hang dog diff
dence had met with among the peo-
pie OF the village. This small peasants
head is straight up, and he is telling
me, think, that he is very sorry, but
that he can understand hardly wore
say.
Pierre takes me to the barn and
shows me the five of his work COWS
that are in stalls. His boys, jean
Marie and Denis, are out with the
other four, hauling stones for road

Wheat And Wine

French call Midi and celebrate as a

lowing is necessary, particularly to kill
weeds, but in general you can say that
the rotation is wheat every other year
Wheat and cultivated crop, or
wheat and clover, or wheat and forage.
They pillow for wheat and plant in
October If wheat is following wheat
and the land is very weedy, they may
pillow in midsummer and then pillow two
or three times again before broad
casting the seed. Flowing is always
back and forth, rather than around
and around. Two COWS pull what we
would call swivel pillow, with the
idle plowshare riding upside down di-
rectly over the other. Land is further
fitted with sort of spiketooth harrow,
but with big, blunt-edged knives in
stead of spikes. Local blacksmiths
make them.
If clover is to follow, it is broad
cast in the young wheat the March
following. They split their seed into
three piles, broadcasting two of the
piles as they walk lengthwise of the
field, and the rest as they walk back
and forth in the short way. They cut
it either with scythe or with now
ing machine, tie the bundle with straw
and set it up in long, narrow shocks,
uncapped. It is hauled in almost at
once and built into beautiful honey

they put on the hawthorn cross. It
is said that no stack of grain or straw
in this part of the country has ever
been struck by lightning if it had at
the top a cross made of the wood of
the hawthorn tree.
Here on Pierre's farm during wheat
season the men and women get up at
$3.50 in the morning. That is to feed
the cattle, which take a long while
to eat. Out to the field by daylight,
around five. At $50, breakfast, often
eaten afield-wine. bread, an arti-
choke, or a sausage, and perhaps
piece of cheese. Around 100, back to
the house to feed the cattle, with per-
haps bite to cate for oneself, and
to sleep, generally on the ground in
the shade. Thus until two, then back
to the field to goute, supper much
like breakfast. At $3.50 or 900, at the
end of the day, a big bowl of soup and
to bed.
That leaves but six and a half hours
for sleep. All! but it is not always har-
vest, says Pierre. At other seasons, one
has more time to be idle. But harvest
is harvest, and wheat is dear; none
must spoil.

story goes-a Gascon on the lower
