RE;NAULT WON
ON FOUL FROM
FRED FULTON

Jack Renault, Canadian heavy
weight, won on foul from Fred
Fulton in the fourth round Of their
fight Mt the Yankee stadium to-
day. The Minnesota plasterer hit
low several times in the earlier
rounds, and floored his opponent
in the third with blow which
was plainly below the belt. The
referee stopped the fight and ear
ried Renault to his corner, where
the Canadian twisted on his chair.
No count was taken and the Judges
waited on the decision of the re-
feree. The boxing commission s
physician, DR.. Walter, examined
Renault and the referee declared
the blow foul, Disqualified Fulton
and declared Renault the winner.
Renault kidded Fulton in the
fourth just previous to the end Of
the fight, sticking out his jaw and
daring the American to hit it. AL
Reichc took the count in the sixth
round of his fight with Tiny Her
man. Herman had the better of
the fight all the way through and
backed Reich all over the ring, miss
ing enough swings to lick dozen
heavyweights. ,....
Harry Drake and Joe Mccain
started off the big bin with slow
bout which went to Drake on the
judges' decision. Drake did all
the boxing and Mccain didn t
have a look in from the start.

BY United Press Leased Wire

MARK KEPPEL IN
LOCAL. SPEECH
ATTACKS BUDGET
L. A. Educator Talks
at Annual School
Meeting
All Day Session County
School Heads At
High School

Attacking Gov. Richardson and
his stand on the budget, Mark
Keppel, superintendent of schools in
Los Angeles county, made bril-
liant address this morning before
the annual meeting Of the county
school trustees which was held at
the Central Union high school.
1.-THE Menace to Education', was
Mr.. Keppel's subject. Starting with
q statement of how, since the be-
ginning OF the war, taxes had been
climbing, he called the attention Of
his audience to the tendency of Of
ficials in endeavoring to make re-
ductions on the tax rate to start
cutting on the schools.
"Therc seems to be an attempt
TO save money at the expense of the
little children,'' was one Of MIR.
Keppel's statements.
"The governor Is announcing that
the budget aggregates 70 millions,
when in reality it amounts to III
millions. He says that GO cents out
of every dollar goes to education,
but he bases this ration on the false
figure of 70 millions, while as
matter Of fact the actual amount is
less than 45 cents. His stand on
the matter is made doubly bad by
his false representations to the pub
lie. -
Music by the Imperial high school
orchestra, and songs by Mrs. Theo-
dore L. Barnes of San Diego were
also features of the morning pro-
gram.
Lunch was served in the school
cafeteria at noon. The afternoon
program included music by Mrs.
Albertine Smith, and talk by L.
r. Cooley, former superintendent of
schools in Imperial county. Mr..
,keppel will also speak again.

HARDING REVAMPS
WESTERN TRIP TO
AVOID PUBLICITY
Plans Much of Trip by
Water to Sidestep
Writers
Doesn't Want Jaunt
to Take Political
Aspect

WASHINGTON, May ic.-7resi-
dent Harding, himself a newspaper
man, is afraid of the newspapers.
That is the reason he has revamp-
cd plans for his western trip and
intends TO make at least half of it
by water.
Mr.. Harding is not afraid of hay
ing the newspapers carry com
plete and faithful report of what he
does, where he goes and what he
says.
He is afraid, however, of having
the straight news of his trip "lnter
preted' by special writer's and
others, so that the journey will take
on q political significance which
Mr.. Harding is determined it shall
not assume. That is the reason he
is going to cut in half his speaking
tour.
News Would be Colorea''
The president knows that in ad-
dition to straight news of his trip
and speeches, a great deal would be
written about these other features
whether he was enthusiastically re-
ceived; whether he was more or less
popular than he was when he took
office.
TO Mr.. Harding the forthcoming
journey is not the western trip
1t is the Alaskan trip 1t is a
business journey which he will take
in his official capacity and Meth
er . pleasure jaunt nor q political
campaign swing.
The speech he regards as the big
gest Of the trip will be devoted to
Alaskan affairs. 1t will be delivered
on his return from the north coun-
try, probably at Seattle.
The iother speeches will be made
| for two reasons-because Il presi
dent crossing the country cannot
avoid speech making, and because
the trip affords a good opportuni
ty for discussing with the People
the administration S policies and
plans for sensing public reactions
to them.

primitive man jess willard, former
worlds champion, stopped Floyd
Johnson, game young heavyweight,
at the end of the eleventh round in
his fifteen round bout here today.
After taking the worst beating
that ever had been since the days
of Bat Nelson, johnson fell on his
face when the gong ended the
eleventh round and his seconds sur
rendered.
Charles Cook, mar.ager and chief
second to johnson told the referee
he was unable to continue ard the
bout was ended.
johnson showed almost superhl,-
man gameness but went down to de
feat. From the fifth round John
son was groggv and almost out on
his feet, but he kept tearing in in
the hope that he would exact the
toll tha: Willard would wear himself
out by pace that he never before
faced.
Dead on His Feet
johnson was dead on his feet
from the seventh round on, in the
ninth he went down for the count of
three Just before the gong sounded
He came" back in the tenth and
carried the fight to Willard, look,
ing almost like winner if the
bout should have gone fifteen
rounds. Willard swarmed all over
him in the eleventh round and with
vicious right upper cuts beat
him down until he, was unable ia
CONT inue.
Willard was given tremendous
ovation when he was heralded BY
the annOuncers as the first man
who had beaten age.
johnson also received numerous
acclaims when he was held up in the
arms of his seconds and pointed out
Z as the gamest ypungster who ever
went against such heavy odds. Viii.
lard stood up in the center of the
ring blowing like an ancient horn
and smiled at his tribute. Then he
walked to johnson s corner and
gave his beaten foe stage gesture.
Helped from Ring
johnson, his eyes puffed close, his
face bleeding and bruised, was ear
riod literally from the ring. His
legs would not support him and he
was assisted by his seconds. 4
Willard entered the ring at 4:37
pm. He was given great ovation
Jack Skelly was in his corner as
his chief second.
Willard was startling in the alb
senee of the usual equator that he
used to carry with him. He smiled
broadly at the figures and Roy Ar
cher, his manager smiled over his
shoulders into the lens.
The crowd was still on its feet
looking for johnson. 1t grew in
tenselv hot and it seemed that rain
would pour down any minute. John
son finally found his way through
the crowd and entered the ring al
4:40.
With him were Willie Lewis, his
chief second, and other handlers
Willard and Johnson posed for pie
lures with vicious ring hands
drawn back at each other. Tht
ring was cleared Of all the photog
raphers and the refree called the
principals to the center Of the ring
for final instructions. Time was
taken while the Milk committed

groaned when Wizards weight was
announced at 24S pounds. Time call
