RUBE BENTON MAY
 LAND WITH TANKS

According to reports from St. Paul Rube Benton. veteran left handler, who was released by the Giants in 1921, may be a. member of the Yam kees next season.
 The fact that the Yankees have no southpaw on the club roster since the release of Frank O'Doul to the Bos- ton Red Sox seems to strengthen the possibility of Huggins being willing to take a, chance on Benton.

Here's little "job' that may be worth investigation by the State Athletic Commission.

s.Pete August and Bobby Reimer Fought the star bout in Hartford the other night. Pete received $107 for his share of the receipts, which was quite a shock to the local battler, as he explained he expected to earn the price rof an oVercoat by appearing in the star bout in the Capital City against such worthy opponent and drawing card as Bobby Reimer-
 Peter expected to draw down
 between $500 and S4OO for his
 work. and there was a great howl
 in the August camp when the
 box office slips revealed that the
 Bridgeporter's share was a IaItry
 $1Oz-
 According to Peter he was told by fHartford ring fans after the fight strong. It did not require much of an argument to impress that point upon August and his manager, Jimmy t(Mohawk) Burns. Now, State Com 'nissioners, hear this:
 August declared he was told
 that between zoo and 800 tickets
 taken in at the gate. were conffs-
 cated or destroyed, which ac-
 receipts. Peter was forced to
 pay his own expenses, while he
 says his contract called for their payment by the Hartford pro-
 motors.
 Tn face Of these allegations it is no s1nore than right that the State box Sng solons should investigate the re- Rorts. Boxers should be protected eDonahue and Murphy. the State box @ng solons, will quickly clamp the lid Eon such practices if proof Is forth- scomins
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-20

Boxers who fight on the per- centage plan are paid by the number of tickets taken in at the box office. If some are con- ffscated and destroyed they are not getting the square deal.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-20

According to August the 1house" looked like 1900 or 1,40O spectators, and the admission prices were $1 and $50 If so, why did August receive only $107?
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-20

We have every reason to believe that the State Board will not tolerate ''gyping" tactics and will investigate Wednesday nights affair and see that 8 square deal Is meted out to the local boxer.

AUGUST 'SGYPED'' AT HARTFORD SHOW
 LOCAL BOXER SAYS
By GEORGE E. FTRsTBROOK.

For some reason or other there has been more trouble at some Hartford boxing shows than at all of the combined shows staged throughout Connecticut. During the past year or so boxers guar anteeS have been held up or re- duced on some pretense or the other. EfBud'' Weafer was also a victim of the so-calIed |EhoId- uD'' business a few months ago. Why all this trouble and rnixups should center on Hartford is difficult to understand. Other promoters throughout the state have no squabbles of the kind at- tending the shows
 The case of Pete August should be investigated thoroughly. If boxers are being 'gyped' the practice should be stopped and the prom moters, il guilty, barred from the sport.
 August is straightforward and honest chap and is not prone to indulge in wildcat talk as is the habit of some members of rnitt fraternity.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-10-20

Despite the frigid weather there's going to be 8 bumper crowd at the bout tonight in Weiss Park, New FTa- ven. which will bring together Kid Kaplan the Meriden "Bearcat" and Andy Chaney, the Balttmora boxer
 It was reported today from New Ha- ven that the Hamden 4. c. manage nent had disposed of s8,o0O worth of tickets in advance. The bout is list ed to travel 12 rounds. In the pre- nrninary bouts Jimmy Proto, of New

DEMAND FOR STATE LAND
is ON THE INCREASE

The demand for state school land
shows steady increase as money
for investment becomes more avail
able, according to the State Board
of Land Commissioners.
The increase over 1921 shows very
decidedly the financial condition of
the people. Inquiries have in
creased greatly and monthly sales
will probably mark the closing of the
year,
The next sale will be held at the
State Capitol in Denver on August
1 9Th. at which land located in Jeffer-
son, Kit Carson, Las Animas and
Logan counties will be offered at
public auction, aggregating 1000
acres.

Traffic Manager C. B. Hutcn'nes
Oh the traffic Dept. of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, after
investigation early in June, and be-
fore the strike went into effect, esti-
mated heavy car shortage this fall.
The American Railway Associa-
ton stated that on June Is there
were 332.6S1 cars needing repa,rs,
268305, of which required heavy re-
pairs. Since then the strike has
paralyzed construction and repairs
of all kinds. The association also
stated that the percentage of cars in
bad order or June l was Is per cent.
These same figures compared with
those of ihe Interstate Commerce
Commission show that there was
big backward movement of repairs
OF freight equipment from April to
June. This too, in the face of the
fact that the railroads knew from
Department of Agriculture reports
that the biggest crop of years
would have tc be marketed this fall.
This policy of neglect of vital
rolling stock by the railroads is only
in line with the financial camouflage
ahoved down the public's throat by
as clever a bunch of artists as ever
drew press-agents' salaries.
THAT "HARD-TINIE" TALK
In other words all the "hardtime"
railroad talk we have heard was
cooked up H. great propaganda de-
partment and served at breakfast,
dinner and supper for the last four
years-in fact ever since the gov
ernment turned the road back to
the private owners after the war.
The result of this is, that nine
persons out of ten in the United
States today believe that the rail-
roads are IN terrible plight; that
their operating expenses are enor-
mous-that freight rates ought TO
be raised if they are to make repairs
etc,
1t isn't true.

COLUMBUS OF TODAY
BY RICHARD LLOYD JONES

A. Mundsen recently sailed from,
Seattle to become icelocked in tho
nope that he might drift across tbe
north pole.
Whats the use. you wonder. Man
mas already been to the north noI.
and there wasn't anything tbars hut
lot of cold weather. 1t was lonely
place. Why go again?
columbus was jeered when be
sailed against the whole worlds nm
belief. He set out to find new saos
10 MS own amazement he found new
shores. Even when he returned In
tell his tat wise men declared the
venture interesting but what's tbs
use; the new found land was so far
away no one would ever go there.
Recently scme mountain climbers
seeking to set foot on the roof of the
world ascended the unexplored
altitude of Mt. Everest. High up in
the Himalays they found vast plat
eaus, rich in soil with forest and lakes
and grasses such as are found in the
north tier of American states. These
were not little pocket spots in the
mountains but a vast region that
would measure out Minnesota and
Montana.
But what's the use of 1t all? We
say. we can't get there. Mile high
precipices prevent.
The legislature of New York came
within two or three votes of refusing
to grant the Delaware and Hudson
company the right to build a railroad
because it would scare the horses.
But it was the railroad and not the
horse that made possible this great
nation of homogeneous people more
than three thousand miles long.
They jeered at Fultons boat. "It
moyes!" they cried. To their amazt-
ment, it moved up river.
When the first steel ship was
launched foolish folks went down to
see it sink. The crowd saw only the
iron hull; they knew iron sinks. The
inventor saw the air in the iron hull;
he knew the air would float.
The world today is full of out of
the way places which tomorrow will
be as much a part of the busy world
as the shore Columbus found.
Aeroplanes will lift us into the
Himalayas. Rich farms will be
there. towns. colleges, cities like
Billings and st. Paul.
Radio is an amusing toy. Wonder
time when it will carry music from
great operate center to even the
most isolated and humble cabin
homes. We talk wisely of its educat-
ional powers. These are near enough
to be calculable. 1t is going to carry
conversation around the whole
world. 1t is going to print news in
the parlor. Radio is going to give
all nations one tongue.
Now scientists talk of sending heat
waves that will modify inhospitable
climates. These heat waves will
make possible not merely Montanas
but whole Austria lias where Amund-
sen is going and where Shackleton
has been.
1t is a wonderful world we live in.
The laboratory is the mighty miss
ionary. And there is many
Columbus serving vast future by
beating pathways into the painless
regions of today.
