the main tunnel. The tunnel is ap-
proximately two miles in length. All
the haulage passageways have. been
cleared of debris resulting from the
explosion, II was announced, and
workers devoted themselves to clean
ing up the crosscuts, in which the
majority Of the miners were working
when the blast occurred. A mine
official pointed out that there was a
possibility that some OF the men, with
long years Of experience in working
underground, finding themselves in
distant parts OF the crosscuts after
the blast, sealed themselves in to ex-
clude the poisonous gases and may
still be alive. He expressed the be-
lief, however, that it was a slim
hope"

CRITICISM UNJuSTTFIED.

Governor G. c. Moore recently
drove over the North and South
highway to secure first-hand in
formation about that road and
found that much Of the criticism
concerning it is unjustified. APP
proNimately 200 miles Of the 32S
from Boise is an admirable high
way in every particular. Be-
tween New Meadows and Round
Valley there is twelve miles OF
old road which awaits the COM
pletion of a bridge to open up
the new highway on the other
side of the canyon. There is
but % miles in total of unfinish-
ed road from Round Valley to
Lucille and this is made up of
several sections separated with
finished portions of excellent
highway. According to the
State Highway department $470-
900 are necessary to complete
these sections of the road.
At various points along the
road contractors are working on
sections of the highway for
which contracts were let last
year. At least 5000, 900 are be,
ing spent on these and there are
sections already contracted for
which are awaiting better labor
conditions for construction. The
completion of a few culverts will
also make this road much better
for next year.
The state highway depart
ment has on this road only the
two OF three engineers who are
required for supervision by the
federal government which is
furnishing SO per cent of the
funds. Temporary clearing of
the old road with $4,000 from
the gas tax fund is being done at
this time. To spend much more
than this would be wasteful
since eventually these sections
will be built by contract.

Naturally the odds favor the cham
pion. 1t is almost universal rule
of boxing that they should, and Demp-
sey is sure to enter the ring the favor
lite at odds of at least 2 to 1. But
the man who believes this is going to
be one punch bout with Dempsey
doing the punching has a surprise in
store. Even his detractors admit that
Gibbons can box.
Ten years of schooling at the hands
of his brother, Mike, one of the most
skilled boxers of his day, gives def
mite assurance of that.
Ring Craft Compares Champions
Gibbons ring craft does not suffer
in comparison with Dempsey's. That
means that if the July 4th encounter
resolves itself into a boxing contest
Gibbons has at worst, an even chance
to win. Here in the northwest the
ring prophets say that if the bout goes
six rounds there will be a new cham
pion.
Since nine-tenths of the population
of this section seems to be support
ing the challenger, that statement
may be charged to overenthusiasm.
The argument which prompts it,
however, is interesting. Those who

Dan Tracy, who took over the
management of the Dempsey-Gib-
bons classic few days ago, at the
instance of the Shelby and Great
Falls business men who put up the
second 100000 of the guarantee
fund, is one of the best known men
in Montana. He is part owner IN
one of Great Falls palacial hotels
and has been prominently identi-
fled with the mining game in the
Neihart country and in the coal
measures around Belt for years.
He was a factor in the enactment
of the state boxing law, and is
chairman of the Cascade county
boxing commission. There are few
men of means in the state who take
as keen an interest in boxing as
he, and the placing of Mr.. Tracy
in charge of the million dollar
classic at Shelby will give the af-
fair confidence with the public
that nothing else could. He knows
the game and he is for clean sport.
Gibbons showing in his first two
weeks of training has been revela-
ton to those who were skeptical as
to his ability as a boxer.
Most of the fans who visited the
camp had previously seen
Dempsey training at Great Falls.
They had an excellent opportunity to
compare the two men and not one of
them had failed to give Gibbons a
chance.

CRIQUI, EUROPEAN CHAMP,
HAD GREAT WAR RECORD
Little Frenchman's Jaw Partly Shot
Away in Battle and Sleeps Rib
Was Substituted

New York, March 27.--Eugene Cri.
qui, European featherweight cham
pion, who has come to the United
States to battle Johnny Kilbane for
his worlds title has had one of the
most unusual careers in ring history.
Born in Paris In 1898 Criqui start
cd boxing before he was IS. Called
to the colors at the outbreak of the
world war he fought at the front until
1915 when a bullet partially shot
away his jaw. A remarkable opera
ton overcame a handicap which APP
rarently had ended his days in the
ring. Now at tilo nge of 80 and after
the trenches-he las reached the
height of his career.
The story of Criqui's wound is
unique. The bullet tore away num-
Der of teeth and shattered the jaw
bone. A section of, the rib bone of a
sheep was used in building up his
jaw. He now wears plates in the top
and bottom of the jaw with II teeth
which he removes before entering the
ring, substituting special break
able plates.
Criqui has engaged in close to 200
bouts he says, although record books
list but 1O4 of which he lost but nine.
Forty of his victories were by knock
outs.

might be said to be boiling over with
indignation and should Manager Whit

something not so complimentary.
According to I.anpher. Written

way that the Yale authorities had re-
fused to permit Suisman to play,
thereby making it necessary to cam
eel the game After waiting until Q

Later he got the Atlas assistant man
ager at Middletown. where that team
was playing and was told that the
game was off and Written was sup
posed to have notified New Britain.
Then 1t was that picked-up team
was secured. Incidentally, the man

a valuable 'youngster Kerr seems
to be.
Manush Hard Hitter
Instead of 10 pitchers it is almost
certain that Cobb will get along
with nine. in order to get under the
player limit of rs and thereby make
room for Kerr.
Manush is a big rangy six-footer,
who looks like an outfield find. He
is rfght-handed batsman and hit
1915 in the Western league last
year. Under the direction of Cobb
he is rapidly developing a fielding
polish, department of play in
which the Tiger leader saw he was a
trifle at fault.
OF course there isn't chance for
Manush to break into the Tiger
outfield at present, but unquestion-
ably he will prove his worth before
the close of the season if illness or
injury forces any of the regulars
out of the lineup.
