! This Is the period of stress and strain
which Secretary Houston used to
look forward to with so much appre-
hension. He told Congress that the
Treasury could hardly be tided over
It unless enormous reductions in ex-

attention to Mr.. Houston's somSer

GEORGE ADAMS AND DICK
CODY At co L|SEUM MONDAY

Twenty-Five rounds OF boxing and
a battle royal will be dished out TO
the Coliseum fans next Monday night
After Mondays massacre the match
maker decided to book better talent
and match the boys as even as hu-
man judgment can figure on the dope
sheet.
The main event win be a scheduled
10 round number between George
Adams and Dick Cody. The boys are
bantams and will enter the ring at
lis pounds, II has been some time
since two good bantams have fought
here and Mondays number should
please the fans. Adams holds de-
cision over Danny Edwards. the coast
colored bantam who is now going big
in the East. Boxing fans who have
been following the Vernon bouts
know Edwards by his reputation
Adams also holds decision over
Ralph Lincoln who fought in Phoe-
nix a couple OF years back. George
is a little fellow with a punch. He
stands rigid in the ring and bat
ties. He must have some cleverness
to earn a decision over Danny Ed
wards, but so far in his workouts
he has confined his tactics to hitting.
He hammers the sand bag like well
ter. using either hand for the hard
ones. Adams will work at the Coliseum
every day this week where the fans
can watch him work and get a line
on him.
Cody, who meets Adams in the
main go will also work at the Coli
scum every afternoon. Cody shows
more speed than Adams and handles
his mitts like an old head. His punch
does not appear to have as much
steam as Adams but he has not been
doing any heavy work. Cody also
holds decision over Lincoln. but
his ring career has followed through
mining camps and oil towns and his
opponents are not we'll known. Cody
is planning on going into the big
show and If he gets over Adams he
will meet Dandy Dick Griffin or Ad
Rubidoux in Phoenix. Negotiations
for the proposed battle started yes
terday. Dick will be in FL Paso in
few days and Rubidoux is at Ver-
non.
In the four round semi-final Joe
Grim is coming back against Rough
House Olea. This pair fought a draw
at the Coliseum few weeks ago In
a bout that was a reminder OF the
good old days. Grim aspires to win
fame as a kayo king. but Olea spoiled
his record and now he wants to stop
the rough house Mexican to make up
for the draw verdict.
