SOME SPORTS AROUND HERE
By HECK

Bill Hughes thinks that if Tony Yescas does not have to impart too much weight, he can take and make Walter Cook look like bum, or words to that same general effect. On his last trip over the mountain, Bill divulged the secret that Tony, who has mopped up rather well in the recent past, is conditioning him self with the late Skinner, and that Skinner, who really wasn't a pro fessional, but a sort of a college boxer, and went into the Lynch mat ter at Phoenix the other evening to get experience, is now putting on gobs and gobs of it.
 Yescas wants to box, and he weighs 12S pounds. If Walter can chisel himself down to the old lightweight grade, or even if he ranks as low as 135, he and Yescas can and will do business, Hughes says.
 A battle between Cook and Yescas should be a good semi-final for the Henry Tanner quarrel of June }.
 Of course you are entitled to give the testimony of Bill Hughes as much or as little weight as you see fit. We don't think he struck it very close in his judgment of Jim Henry Skinner, when he allowed that this bird would make either Lynch or Tanner leap merrily from the ring. But he explains plausibly that he hadn't hoped that his protege would clean Lynch at Phoenix and told Lynch at the time that Skinner would be no set-up. At that, loss of one eye for the large plurality of the rounds should have enabled Skinner to take nice licking from Lynch. It should have been murder, but friends Of Skinner point out that despite the loss of the sight of one lamp, he went in the fourth round and took it.

The guy who writes our headlines on this paper is casting aspersions on the management of the Way Out West show, particularly the head of the committee. He can't tell the truth, says the headline person. But he totally overlooks that other source of prevarication - the snake dance Since they began bringing in snakes for the Snokis, there have been some of our best citizens fall
 completely from grace. The latest is the story about the little serpent that can wind his neck around one section of bull-snake and his tail around another and by stretching his own body, pull the bigger snake in two. Now to see these animals side to side is to be convinced of the ter rible disparity in weights. No sane matchmaker would put a light heavyweight bullsnake in the same ring with a featherweight king-snake.
