THE REFEREE

Do YOU remember the famous old
poem, The Face on the Barroon
Floor?" Hugh Antoine darcy, its
author, is given a banquet by actors
in New York, on his eightieth birth
day.
darcy wrote this rough-hewr
classic to induce bartenders to be
kind to aged men who had seen bet.
ter days In other words, hobo bar
tiles. He did not dream that his
poem would become a powerful
piece of propaganda in the prohibi-
ton movement.
DARCY was dynamic influence in
his generation. There should be
Monument to him, also to the au
ther of Ten Nights in a Barroem.
Both are important historical char
aeters.
Mystery
Scientists, spurred by the discag-
cry OF King Tut's tomb, viii dig into
ruins in Yueatan to learn more
abou the Mayas, believed to have
had the oldest civilization on tht

The most important discovery
that could come fren this scientific
expedition would be an explanation
oe how the Mayas happened to have
many of the same symbols as tht
ancient Egyptians carved on thejt
temples and tombs. One must have

Some One With
Big Punch VIII
Subdue Dempsey
By HENRY Z. FARRELL,
y. p. Staff CnrreSnnndaut.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Some big
man with hefty punch has a great
chance to become the next heavy
weight champion.
This conclusion was drawn after
Jack Dempsey failed to stop little
Tommy Gibbons in Is rounds in
Shelby last week.
There are three outstanding big
men with n punch il the Division
Harry Wills, Jess Willard and Luis
Firpo.
One of them will be eliminated
in Jersey City Thursday night when
Willard and Firpo meet in . 10
round bout under the direction of
Tex Rickard.
The proof which Gibbons gave
that Dempsey is not a superman, or
an unbeatable champion, has made
the Willard -Firpo fight perhaps the
most important battle of the season
and Rickard expects a crowd in the
arena that will come close to 1O0,-
600.
Firpo has been established as an
s to ) favoritc in the betting but
the odds seeem q little bit puffed
and are due perhaps to the feeling
that Willard is too old and that
Firpo will be too strong for him.

Kid Williams TO
Meet Young Hippo

Upon his return to this city
yesterday, following q week s vaca-
tion, Harry Woodbury., manager of
Kid Williams, announced that he
had signed his battler up for Il
scrap with Young Hippo at Goa
chella next Tuesday, July II. Hippo
is considered one of the best big
fellows in Southern California, and
tips the beam at 225 pounds. He
has met some of the best men in the
game, and Woodbury. figures the
heavyweight viii keep Williams
busy while they are in the ring. The
latter has kept in training follow
ing his l5-round scrap with Rev
Morris at MeXicali d week ago. The
wrist which he injured early in that
fight has responded to treatment
and should be in good shape when
he meets Hippo.
Joe Mandot win travel to Goa
chella with Williams, to tackle n
man in his own weight, who has not
yet been chosen. 1t makes little
difference to Joe who his opponent
might be, and if he found himself
in the ring with Tommy Gibbons
he'd start in fighting on general
principles.

ago it was considered q positive
curse for girl to have it said of

Now, the statement is seldom heard,

PLAN CAMPAIGN
ON BAD WEEDS
THROUGH COUNTY
Harrigan Seeks Aid of
Various Bodies to
Reduce Pest

Relentless warfare on noxious
weeds in Imperial county has been
declared by the board Of super
visors, who have passed resolution
authorizing b. A. Harrigan, horti-
cultural commissioner, to employ q
man in each supervisorial district,
whose duty it shall be to combat
the growth of noxious weeds and
cooperate with the ranchers in the
eradication of the pests.
FIt is not our intention to con
troll the spread of the weeds, but to
eradicate them entirely" said
Commissioner Harrigan this morn
ing. "We will ask the co-opera-
ton of the Farm Bureau and every
rancher III Imperial county to assist
us in this campaign, and we hope
eventually to have all the noxious
weeds removed. The principal
weeds with which we are afflicted
arc Johnson grass, white horse net
tie, morning glory, puncture vine
and camel thorn. While they do not
exist i'll the county at the present
time to any alarming extent,
through negligence and failure to
keep after them they have reached
proportions where it has become
necessary to take definite action
against them.'
Brought Here by Water
While many attempts have been
made in the past to control the
spread Of noxious weeds, Mr.. Harri-
gan explained that they will exist
always here to a greater or less de-
gree, as they are brought into the
land in the first place through the
irrigation system. The horticul-
tural department keeps such close
watch on shipments of products into
the valley that the introduction of
noxious weeds from this source is
practically negligible. On the way
from the Colorado River to Imperial
Valley, however, the waters bfing
along seeds of the noxious weeds,
and eventually they find their way
to ditch banks and thence spread
to adjacent land.
Through the Farm Bureau exten-
sion service the horticultural COM
missioner intends to bring the mat
ter to the attention of each Farm
Center and obtain the assistance of
its members in the campaign.

Tuesday by Jim Conley, negro wit
