KNOCKOUT BLOW

Albany, n. Y, April 2.-Hope
that the New York state legislature
would enact legislation designed to
legalize boxing in this state was
virtually abandoned yesterday.
Senator James ]. Walker, minority
leader Of the senate, announced

bring his bill out of the assembly
ways and means committee, TO
which it was referred after being
received from the senate, where Ii
was passed recently, until 1.-THE sur
reptitious, behind the door cam
paign against it of those who should
favor its advancement is stopped"
81 believe much of this opposi-
ton is inspired by men who have
been a detriment to the game and
object to the strict regulatory feat
ures of the bill" he added.
The Walker bill, intended to pro-
vide for Is round bouts to a deci-
sion, was prepared by the army and
navy civilian board Of boxing con-

BY BRUCE COPELAND.

Stamina and leonine grit were all
that enabled Bum Stuehmer, the
Davenport swashbuckler, to sur
vive 10 rounds Of gruelling pun
ishment from Billy ("GoatsD Doig
of Spring Valley last night in the
windup to the best boxing banquet
ever served by Babe Meanor at the
Empire Rink.
Stuehmer fought losing fight
from the outset. Doig, with his
clever blocking and crushing in
fighting, demonstrated superiority
in the first round; and with the ex-
ception of the fourth. he smote
Stuehmer with everything but the
ringsidc seats.
Packing a heftier punch than
Tommy Comiskey, although lacking
the ring finessee of Stuehmers
previous conqueror, Doig amassed
such an overwhelming toll OF
points that only a knockout in the
last round would have turned the
tide.
Gameness Offsets M0nOtOny.
In this respect, the bout pro-
crossed rather monotonously for
the clientele which had previously
witnessed two clean knockouts and
one frenzied, toe-to-toe smuggling
prelim. Lean and trim, writhing
and tenacious, with rather subcon-
scious endurance, Stuehmer man
aged to weather the fusillade of
mitts against his midriff. His game
ness Offset the monotony.
At times Bum stuck his long left
arm into Doig's beetling counte-
nance; but, invariably, the jab was
delivered from flat-footed posture
and lacked the sting of a blow
whose force should start naturally
from the opposite knee with tense
acceleration. At other intervals,
Stuehmer dispatched his MARY
Ann" with Western Union efiic-
iency.
Dogs vigilance discerned almost
every Geographic swing ere it
started. and by deft use of glove
and elbow, he blocked the better
timed and better aimed blows of
the Davenporter, each of which
were redundant with anasthetic. On
such occasions, Doig would coun-
ter with excruciating effect upon
the solar plexus or upon the kid
neys in the clinches.
Lacked Boxing Skill.
Stuehmer fought back gamely in

BANKERS FORM
FOR PROTECTION
Meeting at Court House Last Thursday
Evening. at Which Every Banking
Institution OF County Represented
COUNTY SQUADS ARE FORMED
President, George Naeve; Vice Presi-
dent, Theo. Rohwer Secretary. J.
Miller: Treasurer, Geo. McHenry

The Crawford County Bankers Pro
tective association was formally or.
ganized at a meeting held at the court
house on Thursday evening at which
every banking ms titution in the county
with the exception Of one was rep
resented. Those in attendance were
very enthusiastic and believe that the
association will prove a great help
not only to the banks but for the
protection of all property in Crawford
county.
In each town of the county squads
have been formed and these men pro-
vided with necessary firearms and am
munition. Members of the squads are
specially commissioned officers and EN-.
powered by the governor Of the state to
make arrests. In case Of rohberies or
holdups the telephones will be used to
notify each member of the squad in the
several towns and the sheriff will see
that like organiZa tons in the adjacent
counties are informed so that the Grim.
mails may be run down.
Never in the history of the state has
there been so many rObberies as dur.
ing this past year. Hundreds of tlous.
ands of dollars worth of Liberty bonds
have been stolen and but a small per
cent of them have been recovered. In
order to eliminate these crimes many
of the counties of the state have organ
lied protective associations with good
results.
At the meeting Thursday evening of.
fcers Of the new organization were
elected as follows: President. George
Naeve: vice president, TheO. Rohwer;
Schleswig; secretary. j. w. Miller, Jr.;
treasurer. Geo. McHenry.

Between Pure Bred and Scrub at
State Fair-"Buster" and mike

Buster" and Mike are two steers
on exhibition in the agricultural build

graphically how the right type of steer

short time and at minimum expense
compared with L steer Of little beef

y Buster and Mike are fac smile mod.
els of two steers in the exhibit booth Of
Armour's farm bureau at Des Moines.
Buster was the champion steer at the

was a venerable scrub, aged four years.
Each steer was purchased last Deem
Der and. after slaughter. was stuffed
and carefully mounted by an expert
taxidermist from the Field Columbian

The carcasses and cuts of meats from
each animal are shown in the form of

quality meat with the right kind of ami
mails. OF interest to the farmer and
feeder are figures on the yield of each
steer with reference to killing and dress

values of the different cuts are present

twice as much as Mike on last Deem
