Review of Sports Shows
Pacific Coast Men Are
Superior To Easterners
In Most Departments.
San Francisco, Cal., Dec. 30.
Western athletes were supreme in
various branches of sports during
tbe year just closing. In football,
boxing, track and field, wrestling,
tennis, automobile racing and
baseball the men from the far
vest continued high, up among the
leaders, several of them holding
championships.
Probably the west's best known
athlete Is Jack Dempsey, heavy'
weight boxing champion. Colorado-born
and Utah-bred Dempsey
now resides in Los Angeles. Al
though he did little this year in
the ring, it was only because a
capable opponent could not be
found.
World honors also came to the
west in wrestling when Ed
("Strangler") Lewis of San Jose,
Cal., won the heavyweight title
from Stanislaus Zbyszko to whom
le had lost It earlier. Lewis for
merly was a resident of KentucKy

ter McMurray had been locked

McMurray charged that on

"Its an atrocious lie," said Hill.
He admitted, however, that he

Mr. Hill declared he knew no

The year closes with conditions
favorable for a further Increase of
commodity and security prices, in
the opinion of , the financial com

continued, with few temporary in

The prediction of further busi

among these is the easiness of the
money market and the huge sum
available for commercial credit.
In addition, most stocks of mer

Washington, Dec. SO. The
federal government In a brief
tiled In the supreme court to

OF
Bob Pressey of Bandon, one of
those rare imitators of the Walt
Mason type of verse whose work
favorably compares with Mr. Ma
son's jingles, was a visitor in Sa
lem """yesterday. Mr. Pressey's
rhymes, done in prose form, are
puhliehed exclusively in weekly
newspapers of the United States.
They are now read in every state
in the union.
Writing verse, however, is more
or less of a sideline with Mr. Pres
sey, who Is the owner of the Dew
Valley dairy, near Bandon, where
he raises purebred Guernsey cat
tle. He is generously proportioned
and a dairyman of considerable
ability.
For years Mr. Pressey has been
a correspondent for Western
World, and other journals and has
always been drawn by newspaper
offices.
Recently, he said yesterday, he
has found It necessary to devote a
large part of his time to verse
writing.
Mr. Pressey is about 35 years of
age. After spending a short time
visiting newspapermen in Salem,
Mr. Pressey left for Corvallls
wher he will spend a short time.
YOB FAILS 10
Judrtnent was elven in favor of
the State Bank of Hubbard in the
suit of Amos Yoder against the
bank, in which Yoder asked that
the bank pay him the sum of
$1615, due to the fact that the
bank endorsed and cashed a check
payable to Amos Yoder, the bank
acting under the Instructions of a
brother of Yoder.
The court held that Yoder in
accepting part of the money paid
for a farm sold by his brother,
had ratified his brother's act when
the bank was instructed to endorse
a check payable to Amos Yoder In
payment for the sale of a farm.
The court also held that the act of
the bank was ratified when Amos
Yoder instituted suit against the
bank.
The dispute arose from the fact
that Amos Yoder, living In Mon
tana, had authorized his brother,
N. J. Yoder, to sell his farm near
Hubbard for not less than $3400.
Tbe farm was sold for $4500 and
a check in payment for the farm,
payable to Amos Yoder, was for
warded, to N. J. Yoder . In order
that a mortgage against tbe farm
might be paid off and the deal
closed, tbe brother, N. J. Yoder,
authorized the bank to endorse tbe
name of Amo. Yoder on tbe check,
it had formerly been agreed be
tween tbe brother that N. J. Yoder
should close the deal.
The ale was closed in March of
1921, and no action was taken by
Amos Yoder until June of 1822.
