copurn wasn't Dig man, as he
only stood five feet nine inches.
This proves that height is not an
absolute necessity for a heavyweight
pugliist as long as a man possesses
real pugnacious spirit. This is
borne out by our present champion,
JACK Dempsey. who is not a very
big man, standing around six feet.
Again glance back and we can see
that a man shouldn't be above the
normal stature to succeed in the
prize ring. A good. cool head. plenty
OF courage and endurance and a man
OF Coourn's build need not worry
about his chances in fighting for the
championship.
HE WAS A STAYER.
Coburn was a stayer, as he demon
strated when he and Ned Price
fought for three hours and twenty
minutes. and only stopped when the
shades OF night enveloped them in
darkness. This fight was said TO
have gone 100 rounds. which would
be something marvellous in these
times. In the days of old a round
terminated when a man either was
knocked to the ground or dropped to
escape punishment. Rather a crude
manner in comparison to the present
rules.
Coburn's most famous scrap was
with Mike McCoole down in Mary.
land. Coburn seemed small in
height and when McCoole was
very big man and with his power.
full frame carried tremendous power
both in hitting and roughing. This
was well known to Coburn and he
fought cautiously right from the
start. When McCoole tried to rush
and drive Coburn around the latter
stepped aside and let the big man
use up all his energy and strength.
At the same time Coburn managed
10 send home some telling blows
that hurt his big antagonist.

This method Of procedure SLOWLY
reduced McCoole to Coburn's height.

Cities During 1921.
NEW YORK LEADS
Lax Enforcement of Laws and
Trial Delays Are Blamed,
Report.

Automobile thefts seem to keep
right along with automobile pro-
duction. according to statistics Of
twsnty-eight index cities for
which complete four-year figures
have been kept by the Nationai
Automobile Dealers Association.
These twenty-eight cities show
that 37.554 motor vehicles were
stolen in 1921 and 21.273 recovered.
The number unreeovered was 40 per
cent of the total. the highest noted
in four years, indicating that the
thieves not only are keeping abreast
of the production, but forging ahead
of the police departments and the
legislative bodies in means devised
to safeguard the owner.
A summary of the four-year fg-
ures for the twenty-eight cities
follows:

Cleveland. Portland, Ore, Seattle,

fewer thefts in 1921 than in 1920.
The greatest handicap under
which the police are laboring in
the recovery of stolen vehicles" ac-
cording to v. A. Vane. general man
ager of the association, 'is lax en-
forcement of laws to punish motor
vehicle thieves. Courts are unduly
lenient with this class Of offenders.
Charges are continued against such
until the patience Of
the witnesses Is exhausted, finally
resulting in dismissals and nolle
prosequis."
A tendency was also noted dur
ing the 1921 depressi for owners
of insured vehicles to conspire for
the disappearance of the vehicle IN
order to collect the insurance.
Numerous cities over the country
reported the recovery of motor cars
from quarries, pits and rivers that
had been reported stolen and which
the police declare were clearly dis
posed of with the connivance OF the
owner.
