CALEXICO, Nov. 6.-One of the
speedicst and most entertaining fights
ever staged in Mexicali was that be-
tween alias Pete Herman, Los Angeles
and alias Jimmy Clayton, Pittsburg, n
at almost every minute of the 10
rounds.
AS matter of fact, while the fight
ers were introduced by the names as
given on the cards, both boys who bat
tied last night were substitutes, neither
Herman nor Clayton making an ap-
pcarance. However, it is likely just rs
well that neither of them did appear,
for the substitutes put up a fight
which viii be long remembered as the
hardest fought, the speediest and the
most satisfying event Of Mexicali fight
matches.
The boys who did appear are joey
Murphy, Los Angeles, and Fontana,
hard hitting Denver boy, who is max
ing a name on the coast.
The judges pronounce the match a
draw.
Clayton is the more clever of the
two fighters, and the hardest hitter
when he connects. Fontana, however,
is able to take hard licks, and it is due
to his willingness to mix it at all stages
of the fight and his gameness all the
way through that he received the CON
sideration he did in the decision of a
draw.
Both boys will no doubt be booked
for later dates.
Charley Woods, Brawley, and Joe
Mandot, well known local favorite, a
Heber resident for many years, fought
q good, clean fight. Woods is game
lad, willing to give and take, and will
probably make a good fighter under
proper managing and training. But in
this contest, little Joe was too much
for him, and the judges gave the fight
to the Mexican.
Charley White and Kid Mex fought
a hard fight. Both are wide open

man, American League batting champ
ion of 1921, home run hitter, first cas,
and one of the best outfielders in the
League fears that his baseball career
has ended, according to word received
from California.
Late in the past season, Hcilman fell
in a game between the Detroit Tigers
and the Washington Senators and
broke his collar bone. He went back
to Detroit where he had to have the
bone rebrol5cn and reset. At this time
it was found that his shoulder also was
broken.
In a letter to his brother, Dick He'll
man, in San Francisco, the Tiger star
declared his shoulder was in such bad
shape that he not only dcspaircd Of
being able to swing bat next year,
but that he feared he would never be
able to play again.

Pirates looked like the best team in

Chairman of Central Com

Probe of Association of

! New York, Aug. 27,-Investiga-

shopmen's strike was suggested in
a telegram sent today by John j

strike committee for the Metropol.

chairman of the interstate com

After suggesting that the COM
mittee investigate the association
lin its relation to the present

This group of individuals has

Of the railway strike, even when
such q settlement was urgently re-
quested by the president of the
United States and agreed upon by
the union involved"
Asserting that the rejection of
mediation proposals by the rail-
way executives did not represent
the opinion of a majority, the tele-
gram added:
"The evidence is overwhelming
that the proceedings Of this asso-

been manipulated and controlled,
contrary to the, best interests of

The chairman lost all control of
the delegates and bedlam broke
loose. Shouts of steam roller
came from all parts of the

Those who left the convention

Committees were selected by
the chairman without ratification

SEA BIRDS AND
SHARKS USED To
SUPPLY LAROER
Details of a Narrowing Voy-
age Across the Pacific
Are Told By Crew Of four
MaSted Schooner.
(By The Associated Press.)

San Francisco, Calf, Aug. IL
Details of narrowing voyage
across the Pacific during which sea
birds were killC ! and sharks cap
tured to replenish the larder when
starvation seemed Imminent were
told when the four masted schooner
William II. Smith. 123 days out of
Faisi, Solomon islands, was towed
into port here late today.
On board were seven long haired
men comprising the crew, Capt.
Nels Peter Jensen and the skipper's
wife and four children, the young
est o months old baby.
Food taken on board at Sydney.
Australia, and found to be unfit
for. consumption, slow progress in
calm after calm. and the rationing
of one pound of meat among thir-
teen hungry mouths-such is the
log as pieced together from the
stories of those on board.
The plight Of the ship came to
light week ago when the motor
ship Annie Johnson brought word
of having overtaken her in mid
ocean and of relieving the wants of
the captain, his family and the
crew with S0-days supply of pro-
visions.
Members of the crew hailed as
a heroine the wife of the captain.
Holding a blue-eyed, 'flaxen haired
baby, born when the schooner was
eleven days out Of Sydney and
named Sydney Smith in joint honor
of the port and of the vessel. Mrs.
Jensen tonight summed up her
emotions in these words:
mo more sea for me. I've fol-
lowed the sea for fifteen years and
I've been all over the world But
this was the worst trip I've ever
taken. 1t was just the Lords will
that my children were not sick
from our terrible priYations."
The William H. Smith carried
cargo of copra. Pretty unpalat-
able stuff" as Mrs. Jensen put it.
Some of the boys in the crew tried
mixing the COZ = with flour but it
did not work out very well, she
said.

Washington, Aug. 21.-Ofgan-

ut is safe to say that the full

spread over the working popula-

adding that this is 'stark defeat

at is a magnificent victory for
the workers" he continued,
There are no terms too strong
to describe the importance OF this
victory for labor. 1t is a victory
in the celebration of which every
useful citizen can join because

who sought to reduce wages was
not to reduce the final cost of

In regard to the future Mr..

ME- ETHOD|STS ARE
ASKED To GIVE
MORE L|bERALLY
Tenth of Their Income Is
Requested by the Board of
Bishops to Be Used BY
Centenary Movement.

Chicago, Aug. 27.--An appeal to
all Methodists to donate a tenth of
their income to meet the crisis
caused by the forces which have de-
clared to threaten civilization
is made by board of bishops of
the Methodist Episcopal church in
an open letter to the ministry and
membership.
The funds, it is explained, would
be used by the Methodist centenary
movement. The appeal says the
demand is urgent and that "the
destiny of the world hinges upon
Christianity. The destiny of Chris
tianity hinges largely upon Pro-
testantism. The destiny of Pro-
testantism will be largely influence

w. f. Mcdowell, of Washington,

Tenn, G, II. Locke, Manila, p. J.,
and w. +. Anderson, Of Cincinnati,
reads in part as follows:
"Our world is summoned to
meet the issue of its moral destiny.
The crisis this hour transcends inn
measurably the military crisis of
the period of the war. Then men
feared those who had power to kill
the body: now men stand awed and
fearsome in the presence of forces
which threaten to cast CIVILIZATION

Humanity must make a new
start This time it must build upon

the church caught it and accepted
the challenge, with what seemed d
divine passion. 4
Just as the movement had at
tracted the attention of the world,
alas, the church cooked in it's ardor
and ! slackened in its enthusiasm.
Now it is even suggested that the
world centenary is distasteful.
Much has been made of the mis-
takes in policy and procedure; but
men of experience know that mis-
takes always mark momentous
1t has declared that
the frequent appeals for funds has
produced irritation in many quar-
ters.
