Then there are host of other

But is it the fun the battles fur

Nevada to get busy?
Not much.
Nevada needs advertising.
Every sporting page in America
gives just so much free advertising
to the Golden State-and they are
thinking of forgetting the old Sage

other.
They are wise people in Nevada

HON0RS EVEN
At SEATTLE.

Spokane broke even at Seattle
yesterday. The s. A. c. boxers,
George Douglass and Johnny Par
sons, won from Ed. Hubbard and
Eddie Faust. Hubbard and Doug
lass put up slashing go, the for
mef losing on a foul in the third
round by swinging a haymaker on
to Douglass jaw without the for
mality of shaking hands for the
last round. Neither man offered to
shake hands, but Hubbard's blow
was the one to land.
Eddie Faust chased lanky Par
sons around the ring, but couldn't
capture him long enough to get
home a poke. Every time the short
one would get near the long one
the long one would peck him on the
nose. Parsons got the decision on
points.

on the mat, gazing the first fall in

This is certainly the golden age
of pugilism.
By the same token, the state of
Nevada is the golden mecca for the
men of the mitts.
Not so many years ago two
bruisers of acknowledged clever
ness would get together and maui
one another for the edification of a
bunch of boxing enthusiasts for
purses in the neighborhood of
1000.
And the fighters of those days
thought they were well paid for
their services.
Things are different now.
Noah Brusso, better known to
the sporting fraternity as Tommy
Burns, received $125 and carfare
for his initial battle.
His recent mix-up with Philadel-
phia Jack O'Brien in Los Angeles
netted him exactly 10000.
Kid Herman. the GHETTO cham
pion, fought his first fight in Chi
cago and received about four bits
for his portion of the work in a
bout in which he proved the victor.
This same Herman loses to Joe
Cans at Tonopah. New, recently,
gets knocked out and yet receives
$4,000 as balm to his feelings.
Battling Nelson earned $3.50 for
his first appearance in Chicago and

70 IDENTIFY SUsPECs

Photographer Lewis, of the po-
lice department, this af 'ernoon took
picture of Elmer Garfield, the
murder suspect. 1t will be sent to
Garfield, N. D., for identification.
Garfield was arrested Tuesday
hight by Patrolman Marshall. He
IS supposed to be "Blackie," a man
who on the night of Aug. 2S shot
and killed Officer Petronius in the
railroad yards at Sanborn, ~ miles
from Valley. A reward of $4,000
is offered for his capture by citizens
md the state of North Dakota.
Both Garfield and ''Blackie" answer
the same description. "Blackie's"
partner was arrested few minutes
before the shooting and confessed.
The two were robbing boXcar
when caught in the act.

heads. They lived in large straw
cabins and ate bread cooked in
ashes. The men herded droves of
mountain goats. The women of the
country wore native turquoise jew
els. On the rivers the men main
tanned great canoes, which carried
20 rowers. The houses were often
seven stories high.
And it was from the top of one
of these places that the native
women looked down and saw the
Spaniards roasting 200 of their
male relatives at the stake, because
one of them had resented a Span
lard s attack upon his wife.
1t was then that the Yaqui first
learned of the treachery of the man
with white skin, fair hair and blue
eyes. Inc story has survived CEN
turtles. They tell of it yet, the
wrinkled old men that sit in the
sun at the foot of Santa Ritz. They
tell it as their grandfathers told 1t
to them, tell it to their children's
children, who will ell it to genera
tons yet unborn. and who will
hand it on as heritage of blood
and treachery to the last living
Yaqui.

A YaQui is willing to fight his sol

Why do the Yaquis fight? The
Mexican government maintains II
is simply because they are a lot of
blood-thirsty savages. Historians
give another reason.
In the state of Sonora, in north
western Mexico, there is a strip of
country so miles wide and 500 miles
long. Ancient ruins indicate thai
