BOXING DISTRICT ELEVEN MEETS CODY
FRAWLEY NOW EXPIRED CLASH ON THANKSGVNG DAY

Jew YORK. Nov. 21.-After six
years % boxing under legal
L control the game OF gloved fis-
ticuffs has again been abandoned
throughout New York state. The last
bouts under the provisions OF the
Frawley law were held November
II. and such contests as may be held
in the future win probably be staged
under the socalled club member
ship plan"
An idea Of the popularity OF box
ing, even under the restrictions i'm
posed by the law just repealed, may
be gained from the fact that the gate
receipts during the six years Of the
ring game amounted to about So
100000, and the states share was
close to 100000.
Money for State.
The official returns Cor 1917 are
not available at this time but the
commission report for the years be
tween 1911 and 1916 show that S4.-
502,2S was paid in at the gates Of
the various boxing clubs located
throughout the state and that the
revenue derived under legislature tax
amounted to $262,263. The estimated
receipts for the present year are
placed at close TO 100000. and the
tax returns At about $4,000
During the period OF boxing
under the Frawley law two titles
changed hands as the result OF
knOckOuts scored in the rings OF

longer delivering the laboring vote to the democratic ticket.
 This threat no doubt frightened some of the conservatives into some show of support to Hunt in his appeal to the supreme court from the deci- sion of Judge Stanford, who sustained the legal election boards and found that Campbell had received majority of the votes cast last November, after a trial of over five months and an in- vestigation which included ever cleo tion precinct in the state.
 The appeal to the higher court was made despite the fact that Judge Stanford was chosen for the case over the other IA judges in the state.
 In order to help in the game Presi- detn Wilson wired an appointment to Hunt to act as mediator in the strike of the I. w. w. in the Copper Camps of the state. In view of the recent action taken by, several towns in handling the I. W. w. strike element it would appear that the vote Hunt is supposed to control is not very ac- ceptable to the loyal citizens--dem- ocrats and republicans alike.
The Coconino sun., 1917-07-13
NIISFITS

The Jerome people got a firm hold on the strike situation Tuesday when they organized what would have been called in earlier days vigilance com mittee, and boosted the I. w. W. agi- tators from their city. The present trouble throughout the southern part of the state is not coming from the recognized miners union but from a bunch of undesirable citizens who do not want to work and try to keep all others from working-they live and thrive on agitation.
 The copper miners of Arizona are enjoying the best wages they have ever received and the best working conditions and it certainly behoves them to cast from their midst the un- desirables that term themselves the I. w. w. This will eventually be the outcome, but in the meantime the government and manufacturing indus tries will suffer from the lack of cop. per.
 Time could not be more opportune for the working of the I. W. w. com bine, and on the other hand it is a propitious time for the quelling of this illiterate organization through the use of our mobilizing armies.
 The I. W. w. is not striking for wages, recognition, or working condi- tions. They don't know what they want and could not guarantee pro- duction of copper if they should go to work They are not stable. Dust them from the country or imprison them for treason and give the real workingman, the real union man chance to show what he can do for the country, and chance to make good his agreement with his employers.
The Coconino sun., 1917-07-13

Three weeks ago rumor prevailed in Phoenix that an endeavor would be made to rehabilitate Hunt in the minds of the conservative element in the democratic party by having him make grand stand appeal to his CO., horts not to strike and endanger the copper supply of the Allies for patri- otic reasons. Globe was chosen for the scene of this comedy.
 Some time before this an ultimat- um was delivered by the radical lead CTS that unless some effort was made by the ordinary democrats in Hunts behalf to make up for the lack of sup port to him during the court contest that they would have revenge by no

RECORDS OF THE TROOPS

At this time when our heroic young men are entering the service of their country, we, at home, ought to take steps to keep the records, that future generations may know how the war was fought and history made.
 Let the Selectmen of every town and the Mayor of every city appoint lccal recorder or historian.
 To keep a record of the deeds of those who serve their country.
 To keep in touch with the Casualty Bureau at Washington.
 To keep each individual soldier in touch with his home town.
 To supply friends at home with the details of casualties, the location of the injured in hospitals, and of the prisoners in prisons.
 To forward letters and donations to them.
 A man without relatives at home will feel that someone is interested in his personal experiences and that they will be put on record.
 When the end of the war comes, then the records can be put into shape and filed in the town archives, or pub lished, as shall seem best.
 Such record would be of incalcul- able local historic value.
 Meanwhile, now, at the beginning, is the time to get started on the rec ords.
 Let those in authority organize and act before the record is lost.

GEOLOGY AND THE WAR

It has not been generally under. stood how interesting and how diverse was the work required of a geologist until the publication of recent pam phlet "What a Geologist Can Do in War" This pamphlet was prepared by R. A. F. Penrose Jr., of Philadel- phia, for the Geological Committee of the National Research Council, with the purpose of stating briefly the competency of the geologist in war service. A knowledge of geology, Mir. Penrose points out, can be made of use in many ways in time of war. not only to the army in camp, but to the army on the march and in battle. The subjects briefly touched upon are: Camps; trenches and tunnels, ground for artillery positions; roads; maps; long-distance observations; water supply; vibration effect, and "other qualities for usefulness" under which head is emphasized the geologist's general adoption to living conditions, both in civilization and out. His training has been to a great extent in the wilds among mountains, hills and plains; often without trails, where he has had to take his course by the blazes on the trees or from the stars, the moon or his compass, and often surrounded by hostile natives. He can fight, cook, withstand bad weather and discomfort and still keep on with scientific work; he has acquired the woodcraft of the trapper, together with the education of the scientist. Few other men possess this unusual combination of accomplishments.
 From the above it is evident that the need of geologists in war service is acute, and it is also evident that men are not going to be trained in a few months for such a service. The re- cent action of the Faculty of the University of Arizona in the insertion of required course in military geolo- gy has added to its Geological Depart ment precisely those things necessary for military service.
