claring forfeited the titles of
champions who refused to fight
worthy challengers brought the fly

them bank into competition.
The right of the commission to
rule out Johnny Kilbane, Johnny

when the commission acted, but the
fact remains that there are new
flyweight and featherweight cham

Lynch have been forced into the
defense of heir titles.
While their Judgment was some
times questioned, the sincerity and
honesty of the commissioners never

Although the summer months are
usually considered to be dull ones
in Imperial Valley, there is little
decrease in the inquiries received
by Secretary Coyle of the Chamber
of Commerce from interested par
ties in all parts of the United
States, who desire information on
Imperial Valley and Ell Centre.
This mornings mail brought a
large and varied assortment of such
inquiries which the secretary
showed to a Press representative as
proof that the people in other
parts are interested in the valley,
and that is up to the residents here
to take advantage of these oppor-
tunities.
\. R. Owen and company of Riv-
erside, Illinois, want to know
where they can obtain Imperial
Valley dates, which they desire to
place on sale in their stores, hav-
ing received many inquiries for the
Imperial Valley variety. Certain
ly this should prove a good argu
ment for the establishment of the
date experimental station here, :"
said Coyle.

GIANTS COUNTING CHICKS

NEW YORK, August 14.-Figur-
ing that the weather is nice, that
everything is lovely and that there
are certainly two big ball parks in
New York for a certain festivity in
October, the New York Giants are
back home.
Without saying it too loud in
the presence of John McGraw, the
Giants figure that the National
league pennant is as good as
nailed to the flagstaff in the Polo
Grounds and they have more i'm
portant things to consider.
Counting up the seats in the
Yankee stadium and the newly en-
larged polo grounds the Athletes
figure that, with frll conditions
ideal and no umpire to call a game
on. account of darkness in broad
DAYLIGHT, the winners of ihe series
will grab close to $4,000 each.
McGraw does not permit much
conversation about. the world 5
series. as he has been lecturing his
band all season about the evils of

J.' viii admit, if even siyly, that
the prospects are very fine.
FThe pennant race is not over,
McGraw said. "'We know that we
may have serious jumps to get over
before the season is finished, but
think We have shown ourselves cap
able of meeting almost any kind
of difficulties. The prospects are
good, YES, for another pennant.'

ever since invasion of the Ruhr be-
gan. There is also, however, no
question but that Premier Poincare
has even stronger backing in
France.
Decide on Separate Action
The British government frankly
docs not expect the Curzon note, the
latest communication to the allies,
to effect the slightest change in
Frances position. Consequently
the government has already deter
mined upon the first steps of "sep-
arate action" towards Germany,
which will be taken shortly after
receipt of Frances negative reply.
1t is understood this separate
action' will include not only an
independent note to Germany but
also the summOning of an interna-
tional conference for the purpose
of determining Germany's actual
capacity to pay and the best
methods of insuring collection.
The question of when British
troops shall be withdrawn from the
Rhine has not yet been determined,
but it is inconceivbale they would
remain after separate action had
been initiated.
Further steps probably will not
be decided upon without the sane.
tion of parliament, which probably
will be summoned to special
session.
Crisis Has Two Centers
The general European crisis now
has two centers. The first is among
those presumable victors of the war
Great Britain, tired of acting the
role of banker, with no securities,
while paying her own debts, has
now practically severed the thread
by which she was tied to the en-.
tente, demanding what she believes
to be the only means of stabilizing
matters in Europe.
The second center is in Germany
where they have signed on a new
crew to take over the ship in the
midst of the storm. The government
that gets in will find itself con.
fronted with worthless currency
hostile occupation, riots, plundering
and starvation.
Everywhere on the continent fas
cisti and radicals are combating
for power, physically and political
ly. Italy alone has successfully
passed the crisis, with the fascist
stemming the tide of communism.

Interest in the Kid Williams
Ray Neal fight at Mexieali Fri

throughout the valley each day as
the time for the fight draws near.
1t is expected that the ringside
will be packed with fight fans when
the gong rings for the big fellows
to go to it over the IS round
route. Both battlers are training
faithfully for the scrap, Neal in
San Diego, at Dreamland arena,
and Williams performing in this
city at Central pool hall. The fact
that the promoters postponed the
fight from last week out of re
Spect to the late President Hard
ing, has gained them the respect of
all sport lovers in the valley, who
appreciate the honor shown the
memory of the dead President.
Rivaling the main event ON the
card will be the six round semi
final between Battling Paul, Braw-
ley s colored star, and Charlie Gill,
who is seen in action in the val
ley for the first time. Paul built
up an enviable reputation during
the American Legion bouts in
Brawley this spring. He is hard.

CHAMBER RECEIVES MANY
INQUIRIES ABOUT VALLEY

Clara; w. B. Jordan, La Mesa, New

the valley, the latter being chiefly
interested in alfalfa.
All these inquiries have the indi-
vidual attention of the secretary,
Coyle said, and a personal letter
is written to each one.
Often the correspondence leads
to new settler, and invariably it
means added publicity for Imperial
Valley, and better knowledge of
conditions here among persons who
live in other parts of the country.

Chancellor Stresemann presented
his new coalition cabinet to the
reichstag at noon today with a
slogan of food and money for
all. - The occasion was not auspi-
cious, with the nation apparently on
the brink of dissolution; with red
revolution, strikes, rioting and
separatism hurrying her toward
catastrophe.
Mob Storms Police
: Police reported more than Il score
of wounded when mob in the
Hermannsplatz here this morning
stormed a detachment of police,
who finally were forced TO use
their weapons.
In the Berlinerstrasse demons
traitors attacked police who routed
the mob after one man had fired
at a policeman.
Minor riots were reported in
the suburb of Schoeneburg and
other districts i'll which several
were wounded but none killed.
Observers saw calamity ahead
for the new regime, but Stresemann
faced the situation with apparent
calm. He planned an opening
speech calling On the workers in
the interest of themselves and the
fatherland to abstain from wooing
the Lorelei of communism.
Rhineland Separation
Overnight flashes in the Kaleid
escope of German events included
Il strong movement for the separa
tion of the Rhineland and forma-
tion of the long proposed Rhenish
republic; bloody rioting i'll Silesia,
Neisse, Hanover, Seitz and other
towns strikes in Il score of cities
and misery and famine everywhere,

Stresemam was planning meas

communists feared would put an

Situation Easier at Noon
Generally speaking, however, the
situation seemed easier at noon, de
spite the morning and overnight
outbreaks, which apparently were
the result of methodical action by
the Young communists.
Police headquarters informed the
United Press at noon that the
tension was slackening although
heavy police reinforcemepts were
kept ready at all barracks in the
workmen s districts, with orders to
be prepared for any eyentuality.
The general strike called by the
communists was cancelled at $40
