CARTER RETIREs

According to Hy Schneider, sports
editor of the FL Paso Times, Tommy
Carter has retired from the boxing
game and will devote his time and
energies to electrical engineering.
Tommy followed electrical work be-
fore enlisting in the army and he was
attached to the signal corps at Fort
Bliss during his term OF service.
Carter started boxing at Fort Bliss
in 1918 and won his way to the
lightweight championship of the
southwest and was the most popular
fighter in this section of the country.
Tommys hardest opponent was Billy
Alger who now claims the southwest
lightweight championship through
his victory over Carter.
Tommy injured his hand in a bout
at Fort Bliss about year ago and
the injury has never completely
healed. In his 10 round no-decision
bout with Eddie Boehme at Mil
waukee the hand was again injured
and Carter decided he was through
and the announcement of his retire
ment followed after his return to El
Paso.
Carter is a likeable chap and a
good fighter He won his first start
and followed by string of victories
during the last three years that at
tracted the attention of promoters
throughout the country. The an

CROP Of LETTUCE
HAS HIGH RETURN

GLENDALE, Jan. 4.-That lettuce
growing is profitable in the Salt
River valley has been clearly dem
onstrated by X. Kamashin, living on
the +. =. Jack place near Glendale.
Kamashin is a good farmer and very
thorough and in previous years has
had good success with his crops. SO
far this season he has cut and
shipped 21 cars of lettuce from 20
acres of ground. This lettuce was
handled through Crutchfield & Wool
folk, distributors, and shipped to the
Eastern markets, and when it was
sold netted kamashin above cutting,
icing. crates and Grating, trimming
and freight close to $4,000. From
this net price he win have to pay
his labor for growing, water and rent,
which is nominal sum. This alone
demonstrates the great producing
qualities of the soil in the famous
Salt River valley.

Matchmaker Bud Anderson of the
Capital City Athletic club announces
that the Ira O'Neil- Battling Scotty
bout will be staged at the Sixteenth
Street arena Friday evening. Scotty
and O'Neil have been close to a fight
on several occasions, but something
always steps in to half the show.
Bud says the bout is on this time
and the boys have signed articles
of. agreement and deposited appear
ance forfeits for Friday night.
The boys were matched for a To-
round bout Monday afternoon when
rain interfered, but Bud was not to
be stopped in his work and went
right ahead arranging details for the
postponed card.
Followers of Scotty and O'Neil have
long since posted wagers on their
favorites and some of these wagers
have been on the books for eight
months. The final outcome of this
scrap will put some cash into cir
culation and settle long argument.
Scotty was on the short end for
some time, but the last few weeks
have boosted him TO an even money
proposition. Six months ago the
betting man could get three to one
that Ira would stop Scotty inside OF
10 rounds; today the odds are fifty
fifty that Seotty wins. There is no
such decided change in the battling
of either man. except that Scotty
has taken on a little weight and is
doing more training than formerly.
Ira O'Neil and Ralph Pena fought
10 rounds to draw; Billy Alger
stopped Pena in four rounds and AL
ger and Scotty fought two close
bouts, Billy winning both decisions
Billy says Scotty hits harder than
any of the boys he fought during
the past year. In looking over the
dope it must be considered that the
Alger who dropped Pena is not the
same Alger who won sixround de-
cision over Scotty. The Phoenix
Mexican has been promised return
bout with Alger if he beats O'Neil
and if Scotty does beat Ira he is en-
titled to a return match. But Scotty
will have to show a big improvement
over his former style il ne hopes to
beat Alger.
Young Arnold and Kid Sangado
will stage a six-round special to the
Scotty- O'Neil fight and Young Riv-
ers and Pancho Mendoza will fight
the six round semi final. In addition
to the main event, two six FOUNDERS
and a four round curtain raiser a
battle royal will entertain the fans.
The card will start at 1880 o'clock
Friday evening at the Capital City
arena. The card will be staged in
doors with plenty of heat and ac-
comodations for 1000 fans.

RAIN AND SNOW IS
AID TO THE RANGES

Range conditions have been greatly
improved by the heavy rain and
snow of the week, although a depth
of from to IL inches snow in some
portions of the north has interfercd
with the pastuBng Of stock. In the
Flagstaff section an average OF
inches covers the ground while in
the Grand Canyon section inches
of wet snow separates stock from
feed Except at the lowest eleva-
tions the ground in the White
Mountain region is covered with
nearly a foot of snow. The water
situation in the major grazing Sec
tions of the state has been greatly
helped and the soil is thoroughly
saturated by the slow rain that
preceded the snowstorm. The total
precipitation at Flagstaff during the
last storm, including rain and melted
snow, was 2.15 inches. Stock being
in generally gool condition have
been able to Withstand the inclement
weather. In the White Mountain
section range steers are still in fit
condition for beef as ranges were
covered with excellent pasture all
autumn and the water supply ade-
quate. Roads in that section have
not been damaged but will be too
soft for auto travel for some weeks.
Farming operations have been
somewhat delayed by recent rains but
on the whole benefit has accrued to
crops. particularly to late planted
lettuce which has made considerable
progress. Very little cotton has been
brought in during the last few days
owing to bad roads and muddy fields
but with a return OF good weather
cotton picking for this season will
soon be completed as there remains
only about 2 per cent unpicked in
the Salt River valley. With dry
weather olive picking will be re-
sumed. Alfalfa is growing nicely in
the Yuma section where the ground
is still too wet to work.
