YOUNG BOWEN A WINNER
IN SHORTHAND CONTEST

Largely because of his aggressive.
ness, which stood out in direct con.
trast to the lack Of spirit on the
part Of his rival, Young Bowen was
awarded a decision over Goldie
Ahearn at the end Of their twelve
round contest at Sportland last
night. The fans didn't like the de-
cision, but it stayed put, being the
unanimous opinion of the two or
cial judges.
Ahearn. a eouthpaw, waited for
Bowen to come in and the latter
did that. For a few rounds he had
trouble landing h:a blows, stopping
a lot in his efforts, but as the con.
test progressed he caught up with
Ahearn and clearly led at the finish.
The remainder Of the card
showed Joe Perrone stopping Te'ry
Brooks, of Baltimore, in the third
round; Kid Cafoni knocking out
Joey Ward, of Baltimore, in the

There is something in that ques-
ton and atsincident for even the
most radical Dempsey admirers to
ponder over.
Luis Angel Firpo may not win
from Jack Dempsey. 1t may be
that he will meet his master in
New York September IA. But there
Is no one in these parts who feels
that way. Every follower Of the
ring game is supremely confident
that when the the final blow has
been struck 1t will find the refereA
lifting the arm of Luis Firpo-the
man who dreamed a dream more
than ten years ago-and has found
that dream come true.

CAPABLE RING Referee
NAMED IN BALTIMORE

BALTIMORE. Sept. THE local
fight fans will doubtless congratu-
late the boxing commission. Capt.
Charles j. Mabbutt. assistant coach
of the Third Corps Area Athletics
and star in many athletic lines,
was appointed referee for the local
rings today.
The big captain. with his many
years OF experience in handling
boxers in the army. and being a
boxer of some parts himself, should
prove a. valuable addition to the
corps OF referees now .cavorting
around the local rings.
With his ponderous weight the
captain will have no difficulty in

tendency to rough 1t after the

bluffs with a right and then drives
In with the left. Some times he
varies it by bluffing with his left

Against Farmer Lodge he faxed
q left, then faxed q right, faxed
another left and then landed with
his right, going through the whole
ceremony so quickly that the eye
hardly could follow his movements.
The very fact that Dempsey is
resorting again to the shift seems
to be tip off that when he tackles

what he used to do In the days

When newS was flashed here that

in the entire fight. had beaten and
pounded a gigantic one-time king
Of pugilism into submission. the
joy here knew no bounds. AT last
was the final doubt concerning

was a nation convinced that it had
produced the greatest living fight

Here they scott at that idea
prevalent in certain parts Of the

Of the gamest men that ever step
ped into the ring. They point to
the fact that he had the physical
and the moral courage to make a
trip across the Andes mountains
something few men ever attempted
before.
They recall that, he went to a

and fought his way along amid

punishment:

RUSSIAN FLAG WAS
 ONCE WAVING OVER.
 PART OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-The Russian flag fioated over a part of California for thirty years, from 1912 to 1842, at Fort Ross Sonoma County. where the. Greek chapel and blockhouse today mark the remnants of the Russian occupation.
 The Russians came to California for colonization in 1912, after Count Nikolai Petrovich Rezanof, Grand Chamberlain. visited the state in 1895 as imperial inspector for the Czar. Dezanof immediately began preparing plans for the annexation of California to Russia.
 The Grand Chamberlain had un- limited money at his command and it is stated that his death saved California from being wrested from Spain by the powerful Russian gov- ernment.
 After Rezanof's death, Alexander

Baranof, head of the Russian Am erican Company, made an effort to carry out the Grand Chamberlain s scheme of colonization He sent out several exploring parties to pick a site for the Russian sediment Fort Ross was selected and history states that this site was purchased by the Dussians for "three blankets, three pairs of brooches. two axes. three hoes and some colored beads"
 The Russians established a station on the Farralone Islands where seals were killed, the meat dried and sent for food to Fort Ross and other Rus sian settlements along the north.
 Tn 1917 the Russians made a claim to California, asserting this erritory did not rightfully belong to any Eurouean country. However, in 142 they withdrew from Fort Ross, and kept Alaska as their sole possession on the Pacific. Russia held Alaska until 1867 when the United States bought it for ST. 100000.

WANTS COMPREHENSIVE
 MARKETING PROGRAM

DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 2.-Mobiliza- tion of agricultural leadership behind "an intelligent, constructive and comprehensive cooperative marketing program, is the hope of the Ameri- can Farm Bureau Federation, said Walton Peteet, newly selected head of the cooperative marketing depart me'lt of this body in announcing his policy here today.
 Nj. Peteet will assume his new duties on February 10, giving up his post as secretary Of the Texas Farm bureau Federation. His department winch will be built of trained ex. perts in cooperative marketing, he said, will stimulate and encourage the orderly marketing of farm, ranch, orchard and truck products of Ameri- can farmers.
 This work, Mir. Peteet said will be promoted through educational campaigns, addresses and confer ences. The department not only will be ready to stimulate and unify CO., operative marketing organizations, but also coordinate the efforts of these organizations of which there are more than 1S,000 now in oper- ation handling a billion and a half dollars worth of farm products an- nually, he announced.
