INTERNATIONAL
’SKATING RACE
BEING PLANNED
NEW YORK, March 19 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Au international ice
skating race meet in which the fast
est skaters in northern Europe will
compete against the leading United
States and Canadian stars, is being
planned for the winter of 1921. De
tails of the meet will be worked out
at a conference to be held at Lake
Placid, New York this month when
skaters from all parts of the country
will be present for the international
championships of the present season.
Races at various distances will be
#c$©duled for both amateur and pro
fessionals, the latter to skate for the
largest purse ever offered in this de
partment of sport. The sum of $25,
000 suggested as the basis of these
purses, may be increased to nearly
twice that amount and it is hoped
to have among the professional com
petitors such men as Bobby McLean,
world’s champion, Oscar Mathiesonr
Norval Baptie, Edmund Lamv and
others. A special land rink with a
quarter mile circuit and other feat
ures, in addition to present excell
ent accomodations, are proposed for
the benefit of the professionals ex
pected to spend a portion of the win
ter competing at Lake Placid.
The formation of a new organiza
tion to be known as the Adirondack
9
Skating Association will greatly fa
cilitate the holding of the proposed
meet. With the consent of the In
ternational Skating Association the
new bo%r will take over full control
of amateur skating in a portion of
the territory of the Eastern Skating
Association, including all that in New
York state from Hudson to Erie and
northern New York. Activities will
center in the Odirondacks, particular
ly at Lake Placid, where the Inter
national amateur skating champion
ships are to take place Feb. 18 and
19 and at Saranac Lake where the
National championships were recent
ly held.
The London Metropolitan Police
Athletic Association recently held its
first annual boxing and wrestling
championships. It is probable that
the winner of the heavyweight box
ing championship may be selected to
come to America to box the heavy
weight champion of the New York
police, who have challenged the Lon
don Metropolitan police champion.
" Samuel Rzelevski an eight-year-old
chess champion from Poland has
created a sensation in Berlin by his
masterful playing. He can conduct
a game without seeing the board,
carrying all the moves in his head,
and has played as many as 25 matches
with experts at one time.
CORN AND WHEAT CROPS
ARE THREATENED BY
SHORTAGE OF CLOVER
X
WASHINGTON, March 19 (by As
sociated Press).—Decline in clover
by American farmers seems to have
gone so far as to threaten to be ser
ious and for the good- of the nation’s
corn and wheat crops it is time to
^;et the land back in clover, the de
partment of agriculture advises. Pro
ductiveness of land under corn and
wheat decreases most rapidly. Rota
ti'#i of crops is earnestly advocated
by experts who say that the most im
portant is corn, wheat and clover,
with oats in place of wheat where
corn occupies the land too long to
permit seeding wheat in time.
Experiments show that in contin
uous culture for 20 years, the yield
of wheat fell from 9.24 bushels as an
average for the first ten years to
5.79 bushels for the second ten years,
while in a 3-year corn-wheat-clover ro
tation the yield of wheat rose from
9.92 bushels in the first ten years to
12.78 bushels in the secand decade.
GRAYS HARBOR TO BE
MADE BETTER PORT
» HOQUIAM, Wash., March 19 (by
Associated Press).—Grays Harbor is
be surveyed soon to determine what
is needed to improve port conditions
and to pnt the harbor in a position to

mission, will have charge of the sur
vey. Proposals for a bond issue to
improve harbor conditions probably
will be based upon Strong’s report.
