In the Fulton bout, johnson made

the performance was repeated John
son seemed to have no trouble reach
ing big Jess, but there was nothing
back of his punches.
Johnson is one Of the gamest fight
crs / ever have seen in action. He
can take it and keep coming. If his
knowledge of the ring game, plus his
punch, were equal to his gameness,
Jack Dempsey wouldn't have a
chance with the Iowa farmer boy.
But Floyd lacks experience and
the ring technique that goes with it.
He, throws his punches over hard,
but apparently doesn't deliver them
properly.
The defeat of Johpsons at the
hands of Willard doesn't mcan that
he is through. Johnson has youth
and courage--two assets capable of
surmounting all other obstacles of
the ring.
Firpo, as ! watched h.7 in train

WILLARD -FiRPO CLASH
BY BILLY EVANS.

III DltLt ILN fA->o.
Jess Willard is back. Luis Firpo
has arrived.
These two decisions stand out as
the results of last Saturdays big
heavyweight elimination contests at
the Yankee stadium in New York.
Willard, the so-called old man Of
the ring, proved that he is far from
through. He temporarily shunted
into the discard the old adage that
youth must be served.
The aged Kansas took everything
that the youthful Iowan could offer,
and smiled. Then 20 show he still
retained the old-time punch, he sent

Luis Firpo made perhaps the most
pronounced hit of the day. The
easy manner in which the Argentine
walloper disposed of the much touted
Jack McAuliffe OF Detroit makes Fir
po loom up as u likely contender for
the heavyweight title.
Luis Tirpo is the "Absymal Brute
Of the late Jack London's ring fic-
ton. Firpo, the silent man of the
ring, who never seems to smile, who
knows fighting only rs serious
business, has yet to be put to a seri-

No doubt HIS opponent imagines he

Unquestionably Luis is crude as

punishment.
Likewise he has shown that he can

Fstcufs Eyes Turn to Shelby Neighbor Would Share Her Glory


Shelby, Mont. May 21-Sportdom's
eyes are turned upon Shelby today.
A few weeks. ago the little county
seat of Toole county, in the center
of the Kelvin SHnbuTst oil field of
northern Montana, was unheralded
and unknown. Scarcely anything
was heard about it outside its own
immediate sphere.
But today its fame has spread
across the continent. Shelby's name
is embla2oned now in bold-faced
headlines in newspapers all over the
land. 80
For this, Shelby can thank 10y J.
Molumby and the other promoters
nearly a1l American Legion men
of the Jack Dempsey-Tom Gibbons
titular heavyweight bout. 1t will
be fought here July 4.
Shelby is busy planning accommo-
dations for the thousands Of people
who will come to see the fire
works" New hotels and boarding
houses are springing up almost over
night.
Special trains, carrying hundreds
of Pullman CARS, will be run into
town before the fight. Consk ruction

STANDING ARMY OF
MEXICO TO BE KEPT
IN SERIES OF CAMPS
Concentration Plan Similar
to Method Used
by u. S. -

Guanajunto, Mex, March 3f.-The
plans of the government TO establish
the standing army in a series of con-
camps, similar TO the plan
adopted in the United States, is rapid
" gaining in favor and the first camp
will be put into operation at Las Ami
mas, in this state.
The government intends to construct
comfortable, modern barracks for the
men. drill grounds and institutions. in
which they will be taught useful
trades. Railroad connections will be
established and radio and telegraph
connections made.
The regiments quartered at the va
rious cantonments will thus be in
close connection with all parts of the
country. under the distribution plan.
The establishment of the camp at Las
Animas will cause a daily distribution
of about 10000 pesos for supplies. ct.
1t is believed that there will be a
gain in morale of the soldiers by re-
moving them from the cities where
they are exposed TO the attacks of a
class of people who live solely by
preying on them.
An additional advantage will he the
removal of the cause of irritation
which seems TO incense q certain ele-
nent existing in all the larger towns
and who appear TO be antagonistic to
all signs of constituted authority.

age American, but 10 the inhabitants
along the border between the states
&c Puebla and Hidalgo is a serious
TACT.
The afflicted section is located in
the fastness of the Sierra Hidalgo, re-
tired from communications, and the
facts have just reached here that on
March 81, a snow and hail storm OF
about two hours duration. unprece-
dented in the section, fell and totally
destroyed all growing crops and caused
some loss of life, the number of which
have not been rported. The total
money loss will amount TO not less
than 100000 pesos, of which one
hacienda will hear one-tenth.
The center Of the greatest damage
was about the towns Of Zacatlan and
Cbignahaupam. where the snow was
followed by hail and freezing weather,
which made crust on the snow, eff
fectually hiding all growing life.
The weight of the burden ruined
the houses of most Of the residents
of the section and it is feared that
all stock will perish before their food
is uncovered, as the temperature con.
tinues low and the bushes, on which
they are accustomed TO feed, ar hid

the most resistant to cold OF any local

BULLFIGHTING IN MEXICO IS
LOSINGITS PEP; BULLS TAME
AND TOREADORS ARE CAREFUL
Great American Game of Baseball and Other Sports
Crowding the Pastime Out of the Sight and
Minds of the Mexicans. "

Monterey. Mexico, March 3f.-A
proof of the decadence of bullfighting
in this city has been noticed lately
on account of the complete failure Of
several bullfights which have been
staged.
1t is true large throngs have attend
ed those bullfjghts, but the bull have
not had enough power for the game
and the bullfighters have not been as
good in comparison to what they were
In the old days, previous to the revo-
luton.
Last Sunday a bullfight was staged
here and was a failure altogether,
that is, a failure on the part of the
toreadores and the bulls.
Nowadays in Mexico, as well as in
Spain, aside from three or four clever
professional bullfighters, the game has
lost the hundreds of toreadores who
could perform in satisfactory man
ner. The gate receipts are larger for
the promoters because the price
charged for admission is higher than
1t was ten years ago.
Bullfigbters want more money to
perform and there are some of them
who get as much as $4,000 for one per-
Torrance. displaying their ability for
half an hour. A bullfigbt always in
cludes three good men and each of
them is obliged to kill two bulls, max
ing six animals for the whole show.
Bulls Are Not Bad.
Bullfighting gossip says that the
bulls used do not have the same power
and bravery they once had, and are
not as big as the stock of bulls which
were used % years ago. Therefore
the game has lost its first element,
that of the bull, for with a perilous
bull the performance had a taste of
continuous danger for the toreadores
and the public. seeking intense action
attended bullfights with more interest.
The type of bullfighter has also lost
his traditional aspect. he is no more
the uncouth gypsy, who had special
code of honor and would prefer TO be
killed by a bull instead of being ex-

Expect Holdings to Be De-
veloped Into Most Extern
sive Enterprise in the
Southern Republic.

Pacfuca, Mexico, March 81. - The
biggest mining deal of recent years
has just been completed here when
the Loodlow Brothers transferred the
FL Chico mine TO the Real del Monte
Company. subsidiary of the United
States Smelling, Refining and Mining
Company, for the round sum of So
100000.
This property is located about
twelve kilometers from this city and
the present works of the Real del
Monte Company. which has been ne
gotiating for the, purchase of the
Loodlow property for more than a
year.
This is the second large purchase
which this company has made in the
last three years, at that time pur-
chasing the Arevalo mines for $780,
600 pesos.
Has Bright Possibilities.
Some of the local mining authori-
ties state they believe that the Ell
Chico will be developed into the big
gest mining enterprise in the whole
country as the ore is believed to be
present and the new owners announce
that they will expend several million
pesos in putting it into production on
large scale. The Read del Monte
interests are now credited with pro-
ducing one-twelfth of the worlds an
nual output of silver and the known
riches of the Ell Chico property bid
fair TO put them in a position to pro-
duce much larger percentage.
Activity on Boom.
The acquisition Of this property by
the Real del Monte. the extensive pur-
chases of the Santa Gertrudis Com
pany at San Geronimo Taviche and
the efforts of the Penoles Company to
gain foothold in the same camp and
the general activity Of the silver
mining industry in the Central and
Southern part Of Mexico indicate that
many millions Of dollars will be spent
here in development during the next
two years.
The properties named are all OF a
quality that promise the income will
be many times the expenditure and
Mexico will again assume her station
as the first precious metals producer
OF the world.
