The postponement from last night i to Monday will also give three additional days of rest to the Yellow Jackets' cripples still limping 1 from the mauling handed the locals by the Tigers from Fort Wayne Central lust week. With Hurst, a veteran of four ■' years' experience, still QUt of the I lineup because of an injured shoulI der, the Yellow Jackets will pre--1 sent a revamped lineup Monday night. Coach Andrews, dissatisfied ■| with the showing of several of his /charges in last week's defeat, has I made numerous shifts in scrimImage sessions thin week and several new faces are expected to up- ' pear in the starting lineup for the | opening kickoff at 8 o'clock MonI day night.

LOUIS SCORES KNOCKOUT IN - THIRD ROUND Detroit Negro Knocks Out Argentine Fighter Last Night i New York. Oct. 10.—(U.R) Joe . Louis lust night knocked out Jorge ( 1 Brescia of Argentina with a smash- . Ing left hook to the jaw in the , third round after braving the'Big Gaucho's pile-driving right hand In the early brawling. Before more than 6.000 fans inl I Mike Jacobs' new red-plushed Hip-' podrome Louis pounded the hard-, . hitting Argentine to the floor and ; Referee Arthur Donovan counted 1 . him out in 2:12 of the third round. 1 They were slated to tight 10. Before Shuffling Joe disposed of his youthful opponent, the negro 1 had felt the dynamite in Brescia's j right, but he weathered its stun-' ning impacts and came back tight- j . ing for the kill. The knockout — Joe's third straight since being kayoed by Max , Schmeling in June came shortly | after Brescia had driven him into; the Argentine's corner with a fur-i ions barrage of right and left; smashes to the head. The barrage brought the fans to their feet screaming madly for a knockout. Joe was bleeding from a slight gash on the left side of his cheek 1 after this melee, and he was some ! what unsteady from the blows he had taken, but he kept crowding his man until an opening presented itself. His right fist shot out suddenly and staggered his menacing op ! ponent in a neutral corner. Bres-1 cia sidestepped on rubber legs! along the ropes to his corner, and there it was that the left hook flashed into his jaw. , Brescia spun around and the. tips of his gloves ticKed the top strand of the ring ropes as he' sprawled down on his face. Ref-; eree Donovan tolled the count in' unison with a new electrical count-! ing device above the ring. Brescia was starting to come on when the stunning right struck him in the third starting to lose the tension and caution which ap- j patently had prevented him from ‘ cutting looae. Aside from the time that Schmeling dropped the Bomber and, knocked hii # out later in that Yankee stadium tight, Louis was in greater danger in the third round than at any time during his professional career And had Bres cia been a more experienced fighter. he might have put his brilliant opponent away.

Alf M. Landon. Mr. Roose- i velt praised the treaty as of di-1 reef benefit to America in general l and American agricultural produc-i ers in particular. "To Canada, our neighbor on 1 the north, the $24,000,000 of our I increased exports during the first i six *months have included not only I exports of manufactured articles l but also agricultural exports.” he said. ■ American industry and American agriculture are both benefiting by increased general trade. The 1 figures prove it. and our growing consumption and better farm prices prove it. "Every American — city dweller and farmer alike —ought to fasten this home truth in his memory; when the nations of the world, including America, had jacked . their tariffs to the highest point and enacted embargoes and imposed quotas—in those days farm

prices throughout the world were at their lowset, and world trade had almost ceascl to exist. "Today, under the leadership of the Inited States, other nations of the world are coming to recognize that home truth. Back in 1932. although there was a tariff on wheat of 42 cents a bushel, you all know that wheat which you produced up here in the northwest was selling as low as 30 cents a bushel. There were no farm imports then to worry about; • but low prices were plenty to I worry about." Earlier Mr. Roosevelt had said that because of his administraI tion’s trade treaties, trade had | increased during the first half of , this year, as compared with last ; year, by 513J.000.000.
