BENNY LEONARD'S
GOSSIP
BY BENNY LEONARD.

Boxing is coming back!
That's kind Of startling statement
to make, but it's the truth, neverthe-
less. The good old marquis OF Queens
berry pastlme which was a bit in dis
favor before the war, is winning friends
every day and believe that within
the next five years every state will
have a boxing law with commission
In charge. ....
just recently New Jersey legislators
voted to increase the number OF ROUNDS
in their state law from eight to IL.
which is good thing for the boxing
game. In IL rounds It is easy for the
spectators to determine the victor.
Eight rounds was bit too short a
distance for this.
Just recently the New York law
makers passed the Walker bill, which
legalizes boxing in New York. Fifteen
round bouts to a decision are to be
allowed, providing Gov. Smith signs the
bill, and this, believe, he will do.
The return of boxing in New York
state is the biggest boost the game
has received in some time. 1t means
, that there will be numerous champion
ship battles; that the game will be put
| on a high plane, due to the army and
navy civilian boxing board OF control.
which is to assist in the handling or
the sport, and many boxers will be de-
veloped due to the new interest this
law will create. New friends for the
game will be made, for the sport is
sure to be conducted in a manner sat
| isfactory to all.
! When Uncle Sam decreed that boxing
should be part of the training for all
men in the service. he gave the sport
| big boost. The good accomplished
| by this training can never be estimated.
| and it played an important part in max
ing the warriors of this nation physi-
| cally fit and able to conquer the foe.
AS a result it MADE thousands upon
thousands of new followers for the fisti'
cuff pastime and these boosters are
the ones who are now bringing the
sport back.
| look forward to the time when every
state in the union will have its box
| ing law, under commission. And that
| time is not far distant.

EIGHTEEN START
I'm FOUR EVENTS
OF RACE PROGRAM
Third Affair Is Feature of
Weekly Bill of Driving Club.
Owing to Short Program
Start Will Be DELAYED.

Eighteen trotters and PAGERS divided
into four races make up Saturdays
card OF the Tri-State Driving club, and
as the four events will be sandwiched
the governing committee decided to
start the races at 2:30 instead Of 2
O'Clock. The mixed free-for- all and the
open pace will doubtless be the CEN
tiers of attraction although the second
race with six entries ought to be
great contest.
In the mixed ee-for-alI, Tip Top,
the champion PAGER, was scheduled to
lock horns with Alice A., champion trot-
, ter of the club but Ben McCreery, own
err OF Wiki Nui, insisted that his mare
be moved up into this class and stated
apost emphatically that with Tip Top
70 set the pace he believed he could pull
Wiki Nut out at tho head Of the
stretch and not only vim Orgill and
Goodman but likewise regain the trot-
ing record for his mare. The owners Of
Alice A. and Tip Top both agreed that
McCreery's plan sounded nice and that
If it works. out all right Wiki Nui
would doubtless have to go fast enough
to insure the trotting crown. being Sc
curely damned on her head.
The open pace brings together three
classy wigglers and while Romac Mills
will probably rule slight choice, either
Oregon Boy or Wanda Vincent is liable
to slip in and win.
The oregon Boy supporters are very
sweet on the big gelding's chances and
it would not be at all surprising to
see this fellow reel off a couple of
mighty fast miles. Wanda Vincent has
defeated both the other entries and DR..
Haynes claims they Will have to beat
2a2 to head her in this race.
In the second, Frank Bragg took this
same field into camp last week with
Will Robinson driving and will likely
be favorite again as John Smith is one
of the best Transfers in the club and
will be UP behind the Baron Direct
PAGER. Betty Boyd won very easily the
previous week in 2:18h but finished
third and fifth in the same time Sat
urday. If she don't bear OUT again
on the back stretch the horse that
beats her will certainly go faster than
2:1Sh.
Heliobas went real good race CON

raced in three or four weeks. and Press
Jones says put a barrel of flour where
he can see 1t and he will show then
something Aleck Penn and Gertlt

like the hardest race on the program

Rich, Red Blood Is Essential to Your
Well Being.

You can not overestimate the i'm
portance of keeping the blood free of
impurities. When you realize that the
heart is constantly pumping this vital
fluid to all parts of the body, you can
readily see that any impurity in the
blood will cause serious complications.
Any slight disorder or impurities is
source of danger, as every vital or
gan of the body depends upon the blood
supply to properly perform it's func-
tons. ...

City Responsible for Fire Losses


Six survivors of the fatal Houston hotel fire at Klamath
Falls in which nine lost their fe have brought suit
against the city for $335 damages alleging that the city
issued lodging house permit despite the lack of fire protec-
tion facilities demanded by the Oregon law The lodging
house rerap that did not have fire escapes demanded
by law and the state Investigators roundy censured the
city for its negligence in providing adequate fire fighting
apparatus.
the courts hold the city responsible for damages
sustained through the negligence of officials the relatives of
those who lost their lives in the fire will also have valid
grounds for making the city pay damages responsible for
the fatalities The city in turn will have good grounds for
recovery from the officials whose negligence contributed
the holocaust.
There is lesson in this situation for other Oregon cities
where there is lax enforcement of fire ordinances failure
provide adequate fire exits and convenences in
hotels lodging houses theatres halls and sempubc build
ngs and also failure to provide adequate fire fighting
facilities
1t is penny wise and pound foolish policy for Salem to
continue without fire alarm system to have little equip
that two fires the time cannot be efficiently
,ombaed to have five story structures with fire fighting
appliances for two story buildings
Should serious fire occur the city will be liable for
lamages much greater than the amount involved in nsurng
adequate protection to nothing of the risk to life and
property.

Even in winter, when the water

Even in winter, when the water
was freezing cold Paddy went for
q swim almost every c,ly. In one
wey he enjoyed his winter more
than his summer swims. for he
was quite saffron enemies when
the ice covered the pond. In fact.
unless Jeter Mink or one of his
relations came prowling about be-
meath the ice, there was nothing
to trouble Paddy and his wife at
Il mt season.
In summer Paddy Muskrat had
many enemies. Johnnie Green
was by no means the least Of
these. He was continually setting
traps to catch Paddy, who was
the biggest Of all the Musknat
family that lived in Pleasant VAL
ley.
Now, Johnnie Green had sue
ceeded in catching good many
of Paddy's distant cousins. 1t you
could have seen the side of Far
mer Green's woodshed. half COW
cred by the skins johnnie Green
had nailed there, you would un-
derstand with Paddy was usually
pretty careful where he stepped.
And when you hear that Mr..
Crow told him one day that john
ME had saved a place on the side
of the woodshed, especially for him
you can see why Paddy Muskrat
was in no hurry to occupy it.
Luckily for him. he never came
to such sad end. Though when
he vexed Mrs. Paddy she said,
sometimes, that if he should get
caught perhaps it would teach
him not to stay away from home
50 much.
And then Paddy Muskrat always
told her that being nailed to
Farmer Green's woodshed out to
teach him to stay away all the
time.
OF course. that was just lit.
tie joke of his. But Mrs. PADDY
never cared for it.
