he lost to young Walker has not been
fully explained. 1t certainly was a re
markable reversal of form.
Gene Tunney lost the light-heavy-
weight title to Harry Greb in a bout
at Madison Square Garden via the de
cision route. Tunney was the youngest
of the champions, and he had held his
title but a few months before losing 1t
to Greb. II is possible that Tunney
will regain the honors as he is a better
fighter now than he was when he held
the title.
Johnny Wilson, the middleweight
king. has been deprived Of his title
by the edict of the boxing commission.
This decision is official in New York
state. but it does not hold good else
where. Even local fans have scant re
gard for the new champions who are
continually nominated in Wilson
place. They are of the opinion that
Johnny received a raw deal.
Little Sympathy
Featherweight Champion Johnny
kiibane also was deprived of his title
By the same method, but a great deal
less sympathy is felt for kilbane, who
evidently does not mean to fight again.
Benny Leonard had a narrow escape
from losing the lightweight crown when
he met Lew Tender in Jersey City.
The lightweight champion was on the

men who had been connected with the
sport for many years-thought that
Tender should have had the decision
If the referee had been permitted to
make one.
The heavyweight title is the only one
that did not change hands or was in
jeopardy. That was because Dempsey
did not enter the ring this year. No
me knows what would have happened
if Dempsey had encountered Harry
Wills.
Wills lost ground i'll his last few
bouts, in which he failed to show
championship form. But Harry evident
ly had neglected to train very seriously.
for the easy marks that were handed
to him. Matched for the title, Wills
would take plenty of time and spend
some money preparing himself for the
battle. That would make a world of
difference in his form.
Dempsey may have slipped some
what during his long absence from the
ring. He was in good shape for Car
pentier, but that was a long time ago
Jack needs plenty of action. He has
not n world of skill to fall back on
when his, condition is not right He is
the kind of fighter who is either very
good or very bad.
The only possible opponent for
Dempsey seems to be Harry Wills,
and there seems. to be no chance or
that clash before next July. :,

Christmas

Christmas time" is known as gift time.
Everyone some loved one knows.
And should give and send remembrances
While the gift time spirit flows.
Every daddy in the kingdom
Thinks of little ones at home.
Thinks too of those who have wandered
And the heartsick and alone.
But the thought comes DO the children
Think of daddy III n way
That his heart nay be made happy
On this glorious Christmas day"
Don't forget that daddy's childhood
Was spent just the same as yours,
He. too. as a child, looked forward
To the happy gift time hours.
Through the years he's not forgotten,
And it makes him glad to know
That he, too, has been remembered
When the gift time" spirit flows.
To the ones who love their daddies,
Just a word / wish to say:

Phoenix Woman, Unidentified,
At Yuma Escapes Desert Death


Nearness OF death and great phys
ical suffering so beset young Phoe-
nix woman who attempted TO cross
the desert in an automobile to Cali
fornia recently that she is now in
hotel in Yuma suffering from physical
breakdown due to her direful ex-
perience.
Information to this effect was
brought to the Arizona Republican
Saturday by a Phoenix friend Of the
unfortunate woman. The letter re-
cited a most narrowing tale of the
suffering undergone. The trip was
evidently a chance one, arranged with
an inexperienced driver, who came
over from California to take back a
stolen car that had been recovered
The man who drove the car evidently
had had no experience on the desert
and was wholly unprepared for what
he found. He and the Phoenix wom
an nearly lost their lives, the latter
evidently being much the greater suf-
ferer.
The Phoenix woman was left un-
conscious on the desert While her
companion went for aid. He succeed
ed in finding it before it was too late
The woman was still unconscious
when brought into Yuma and is still
in pitiful physical condition. Hys-
terra beset her because of extreme
fright and she reports herself, in the
hastily and unsteadily scrawled let
ter, as still nervously incompetent.
1t appears that a punctured tire
was suffered by the car driven out
from Phoenix, the first night on the
desert. The driver and the Phoenix
woman were stalled until morning,
when help came. But, not deferred
with their first misfortune, they per-
sisted in their adventure and the Sec
ond night suffered another misfor-
tune in the failure of gasoline, IS
miles from any known human habita-
tion. The woman had insisted on
taking canteen: but the man, ap-
parently having no knowledge of the
desert, had scorned such precaution.
The water supply was soon exhausted.
Both being wholly unused, apparently,
to trying circumstances, they appear,
from the letter, to have lost their
heads completely. They both finally
decided that their only hope of es-
cape lay in walking to safety. The
walk was begun.
Within a comparatively few miles
the shoes of the woman were worn
Arizona republican., 1922-06-04

TO shreds and soon after her feet
were raw and bleeding. Her fright
increased her thirst, and being un-
able to assuage it, her throat began
TO swell as did her tongue. She says
IN her letter that it was soon twice
it's natural size and protruding from
her mouth. AT this point the woman
could go no further and sank down
upon the ground. Up to this point
they had carried a valuable fur coat,
belonging to the woman. The mau
covered her with this and left her.
Fortunately he had travelled only
about 10 miles when he met parties
with an automobile. All hurried to
the Phoenix woman left dying on the
desert. First aid was administered
as far as the parties knew how, but
this did not suffice to bring the wone
an to consciousness. 1t required the
services of a physician in Yuma to do
this. When the woman regained con-
sciousness, size relates in her letter,
she found herself packed in ice.
Evidently there had been little
thought of need of money and the
sufferer relates that she has become
an object of charity in Yuma. Some
kndhearted people at the hotel, where
she was brought in, have interested
themselves in her case.
The letter was signed Carolyn"
other than this the party who was
in receipt of the letter would not re-
veal the name of the suffering wom-
an. Evidently the trip to California
had been undertaken without regard
to considerations of delicacy in the
travelling arrangement, the acquaint-
ance between the travelling parties
being quite casual, and the
afflicted woman also fears that her
condition will become known to GER
tain relatives from whom she would
guard her plight. The letter was
written on Yuma hotel paper and was
addressed to a woman in Phoenix
whose name does not appear in the
city directory. She would not per-
NIT it's use.
Inquiry at Yuma, through the AS
sociated Press, had failed at an early
hour Sunday morning to reveal the
identity of the woman. There are
ample evidences, however which
seem to authenticate the letter. The
party here in Phoenix said that she
would return later with the letter,
after having shown it to friends, but
she failed to do-so.

lance as a possible suspect in con-
nection with the killing of Clarence

garding the boards new wage cuts.
The six railway shop crafts have
three tentative ballots ready to go TO

Death Penalty Is
Not Expected From
Ruby Raid Jurors

NOGALES, AriZ., June 3-The fate
of Placido Silvas, charged with mur-
der. was in the hands of a superior
court jury tonight. The jurors began
their deliberations at /: 80 o'clock this
afternoon and at p. m. they had not
reached a verdict as to whether Sill
vas participated in the Staying of
Postmaster and Mrs. j. Frank Pear
son, who were shot to death last
August by a gang OF bandits, of
which Silvas is declared to have been
a member.
1t was generally predicted that
Silvas will not be given the death
penalty. as was Manuel Martinez.
who recently was convicted of hay-
ing a hand in the Pearson killings.
If the jury reaches a verdict it is
expected that it will contain rec
ommendation for a prison sentence.
1t was regarded as not unlikely that
the jurors will be unable to agree.
Silvas' first trial last December re-
suited in a disagreement.
The Silvas case occupied II days
and is the longest criminal trial in
the history of Santa Cruz county.
