In what proved to be a master
shot OF killing two birds with one
stone is the latest wrinkle in the
development of MacAvoy's boxing
show next Thursday night, June s,
1922, at Szabo hail.
The question OF a referee-a good
referee-was still to be answered
last Sunday. Possible candidates
were considered. some with ap-
proval. and others with disapproval.
Finally the selection thinned down
to one man-Jef Bowers.
Then the big question arose as TO
whether JEFF would accept the posi-
ton or not Mac determined to
know. He promptly set out for his
mans front parlor. Jen was home
entertaining a guest when MacAwoy
came upon the scene.
Mac looked frst at len and then
st the guest. The second look was
fruitful. 1t brought Macs beaming
smile into play.
''Hrllo, jeff Hullo Rhed" he
chuckled as he theoretically rubbed
his hands together. How arc yuh.
nne."
Both JEFF and Rhed answered in
the affirmative as they biankly
gazed at their impromptu visitor.
After Mac had sat his portly self
down he began his little speech.
How would JEFF like to referee his
fight? And wouldn't Rhed accept
the tinekeepers Job. Now you see,
he enlarged, his fight was going

over big. and he needed some big
men to help him. etc, etc, and some
more etc's.
Well. the afternoon ended in a
manner that sent MacAvoy away
,, with his smile still registering He
originally went after a first class
referee and came away with him
and also an experienced timekeeper
Jef Bowers carries quite a repu-
tation in the refereeing profession
In addition to this. he is rs popular
a third man as a promoter could de-
sire. Fans like him and therein lies
his success.
A small thing like a timekeeper
in the opinion of many people seems
too trivial to rave about. Yet, re-
memb Der what a storm that Job kick

him an the promoters on the pan for
months.
Rhed has been an official time
keeper for several big boxing clubs
during the last ten years. The big

round Of a scheduled eight round
fus. at the pills baseball park last
night. More than 10000 fight fans
say the finish of tho hard hitting
but inexperienced Barrett.
The punch which won the night
was a low left swing to the pit OF
the stomach, and this brought forth
the claim from Barrett's seconds
that IL was below the foul line The
club physician who examined Bar
rett said there was no evidence OF a
foul blow and Referee Taylor then
disallowed the claim.
In order to keep the crowd out OF
the ring. where Barrett was being
given a hasty medical examin alton,
a Gordon OF police was thrown all
around the PROSTATE boxer. After
the police had restored order, Bar
rett was assisted TO his dressing
room. He was not badly hurt.

half cars, or 14t per cent. That
such an increase should have occurred
| In year OF depression Is proof enough
of the utilitarian status OF the automo-
bile.
The National Automobile Chamber
of Commerce emphasizes the fact that
the automobile as a pleasure vehicle is
entirely slfbordinated TO its uses In
commerce. Recent figures show that
20 per cent of the cars In use at pres
ent cost less than $1,000 each and "a
per cent less than $4,000, leaving a

is estimated, too, that farmers own
some 100000 OF the 100000 motors

on farm life is a chapter Of contem-
porary history that remains to be
written. Its social value has been of
transcendent Importance in breaking
Into the proverbial isolation OF farm
life.
The manufacture of automobiles is
now in third place among the indus
tries of the nation. The industry still
has painful establishments TO &c
