II worked In a lumber camp after
that and those lumber guys are
pretty hard birds, but not so hard as
me. They didn't fuss with me much
after the day they saw a large tree
roll over on me and not hurt me none
and / told them there wasn't nothing
could hurt me enough to make me
squeak. A little later a sheriff 8
deputy tried to make me blab on
some guy and when / wouldn't tell
him word he took to beating my
bean with his club. 1t broke up his
club and he says he hit me eighteen
times, but think he was bulling, be-
cause / only counted sixteen.
II worked on a ranch a while and
got so / could ride any horse they
had because they couldn't kick me
hard enough to hurt. I liked this
job and got to be great pals with the
mules and nags, but about this time
some guy tipped me off to a Denver
sport writer and got start in the
fight game.
81 like fighting and the only kick
/ got is that / don't get started right
until get hit hard enough to stir me
UP and half these lightweights can't
hit that hard. / can take the hard
est punches they got and there amt
any of them that can knock me out.
l would fiatten more Of them If the
fights would go farther than ten
rounds, because it usually takes at
least ten rounds before get started.
Anyone ought to be able to take all
the beating can if he will lay off
the dope sticks and the gasoline and
rough it around a bit"

Stanley "Soakem' Yoakum, known
as the toughest bird" in the fight
game and a lightweight Of pretty fair
record, says that you can take all sorts
OF beatings without feeling them If you
will spend your youth as he did.
"Soakem" then goes on to tell the ex-
periences of his younger days, which
he says did much to cultivate in him
his ability to take many pummelings
without wincing.
At the age Of Is Yoakum tired Of
the hard work he had on hotel job
in Hartford, Conn.,, and he hoped a
RATHER for the west, where he hoped to
find enough to eat and not so much
employment. "The hard work around
the hotel gave me a lot OF muscles and
l was a pretty tough egg as a kid be-
cause l always laid off the old red eye
and the smokes.
When l got out west the Indians
and the Mexicans used to pick on me
because l was little, but when they
saw how they couldn't hurt me with
their bricks and beatings they laid
off of me. When they see they can't
beat you up they don't want to fight
with you. They would rather be
scrapping with a wildcat. Down in
New Mexico they love a stranger like
a bulldog does and they love to hide
in the dark and bean you with paw
ing bricks. l was going down an
alley one night when a perfect stranger
bounced eighteen bricks off my dome
and / know l counted at least six.
When he saw they didn't hurt me none
he was scared stiff and didn't bother
me no more.

Minot hitters made merry with the
offerings of three Fargo Moorhead
pitchers in the sixth inning of Mon
day evenings game in the Fargo col
lege stadium, scoring ten runs before
the slaughter could be stopped, and
winning the opening game, IL to 8.
Nine of the Is athletes that stepped
to the plate in that round hit safely,
and three drew bases on balls. Two
were left on when Murray accommo-
datingly went out, Thomas to Boyle.
The inning was a nightmare to Fargo

signs of relief when it was all over.

Anti-Registration Meet
ing
(By Associated Press.l

New York, June 5.-Battling Stub
bornly with a small army of police
several thousand men and women
tried vainly last night to break through
the Gordon of officers thrown around
a crowded hall in the Bronx where an
anti-registration mass meeting was
held. Clubs were welded freely by
the officers and several arrests were
made before order was restored.
The meeting was arranged by the
No Consumption league, in which
Emma Goldman and Benz. Reitman are
the leading spirits. The charge upon
the police was made when the doors
were locked by order OF fire depart
ment representatives.
Twenty minutes after the doors were
opened the building was crowded.
Those who had failed to gain entrance
were packed in solid phalanxes four
blocks back from the hall.
The authorities were prepared to
meet it. Nearly 800 patrolmen and
detectives were stationed around the
building. Police automobiles equipped
with search lights and each carrying
two patrolmen armed with rifles
patrolled the streets in the neighbor-
hood.
Many agents OF the Department of
Justice and the secret service mingled
with the crowd, while members OF the
Home Defense league assisted the
regular police. Three regular army
soldiers were stationed at each Of the
doors leading into the hall.

GERMAN SPIES
USED MEXICO
Two Complete Wireless Sta
tons Shipped Piecemeal
Across the Border
(By Associated Press.l

New York, June 5.-Evidence that
two complete high powered wireless
stations were shipped piecemeal to
Mexico, supposedly for use of a Ger
man spy system in this country was
unearthed yesterday in connection
with the arrest of three men arrested
on charges of sending mail, contain
ing military information, surrepti-
tiously from the United States to Ger
many through members of Norwegian
ship crews.
1t was intimated by the United
States commission before whom the
alleged plotters were arraigned that it
was through their instrumentality
that advance news of the impending
arrival in England of the American de-
stroyer fleet was sent to Germany.
With only a scratching of the sur
face of the mass of evidence in the
governments hands, indications have
been found that the secret mail sys-
tenn was operated both ways between
the United States, Germany and Mex
leo. Several hundred letters which
have been seized are being translated
in the expectation that they will re-
veal the alleged plot, which is said to
point to others besides those under arr
rest.
The prisoners are Harry A. PERISH
and Irving Bonaparte, both said to be
American born, employed by German
electrical company, and Alex +. Mel
cher, said to be a naturalized citizen
from Sweden. They are charged with
conspiring to induce members of the
crews of the steamships Bergensfjord
and Kristianiafjord, both chartered to
carry regular United States mails, to
take letters and packages from this
country destined for Germany in viola
ton of the law prohibiting competition
with the United States mail. The max
imum penalties provided are $4,000
fine and two years Imprisonment for
conspiracy and $50 fine and six months
Imprisonment for competing with the
mails, but it is said by the government
officials that the investigation will
continue with the purpose of deciding
whether treason had been committed.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 for PERISH
and Bonaparte and $4,000 for Mel
The police announced today that
they had information that the head of
the alleged German wireless system
came to this country, made plans re-
garding wireless outfits and other de-
| tails through which information was
! conveyed to Berlin and departed prob
| ably for Mexico.
The arraignment Of Herman Frencke,
an electrical engineer arrested last
| night charged with conspiracy, in
violating the postal laws, was expect
ed to develop evidence in an alleged
| underground" mail system to Germany.
Just what connection Frencke had
with the three men arrested Sunday
was not divulged. 1t was believed
other and more important arrests are
| to be made.
