nounced my first championship fight.
Il was carnival of fighting and !
announced fights for the three great
American Jacks Besides tho Cor
bett.Sullvan fight, there was the
battle between the original Jack
Dempsey and billie Myers and the
lightweight scrap between tack Me
Auliff and Eddie Skelley. McAuliif.
by the way was the only lightweight
who retired undcfeated."
Cannon was at Reno when Jack
Johnson wrested the belt from jim
Jeffries and the white race and he
was at Toledo when Dempsey. the
present champion took the crown
away from Willard
"And say, | don't see how can
stay away when Dempsey meets the
Frenchman.' said Cannon. III | do,
it'll be the first championship fight
among the hcavyweights have miss
ed In this country In moro than two
decades"
But Cannon is an oil man now and
is associated with sporting events
simply because he likes 'em. This
he demonstrated when In his closing

GOVERNMENT TO
FIGHT PROPOSED
RAILROAD STRIKE.
Federal Officials Intimate That Trains
VIII BE Kept Running In
the Event of a
Strike.

Washington, Oct. II. - The federal
government will keep the railroads in
operation.
This was the definite assurance that
came today from high administra-
ton official, as President Harding and
other government leaders renewed at
tempts to avert nationwide rail
strike.
A feeling pervades official Washing
ton that the strike will not materialize
on an extensive scale. but at the same
time the government realizes that
transportation lines must be kept In
operation, whatever happens, because
the existence of millions of persons
depends upon them.
The federal government has as yet
framed no program of oction. Wheth-
er the government would seize the
roads in case the strike call is not re-
scinded and the walkout begins, no
prominent official would say.
From President Harding down, Off
cials were trying to devise practical
means of:
/: Preventing the strike of rail-
road workers, or,
2: Making such preparations that
the general public and the government
shall suffer as little as possible as a
result Of the strike.
Harding had two sets Of experts at
work today gathering information as
the basis OF proposals which he may
make to the railroads and their en-
ployees. These proposals, IL made.
will be Of nature to obtain the sup
port Of American public opinion gen.
orally, and this will be counted on to
force both the railroad executives and
their employees to accept them.
