 It was great day at the B.A. C., and fandom-or that part of 1t which was lucky enough to be- long to the Club Tuesday and to be on hand-was still chuck ling to itself when the end of that perfect day came to pass.
 Sir Stuffy de Stew-gOurmOnd of the BarOns = had his boys scrnpping for every inch nt Mo- bile Tuesday, and he was re- warded with one victory and one defeat. Those Barons rallied to get their victory. and, had their final inning rally in the second game not been Ofrset by another by the BeOrs, would have copped that dOuble-header in fine fnsh- ion.
 The series now stands two gnmes to one, in favor of the Bears, with the final game being billed for Wednesday afternoon. Wilder, the Barons' new hurler, mny draw the pitching assign ment in that game, and on him will rest the responsibility of evening up the series.

 Unless those Montana cowboys and oil diggers straighten their affairs out, the sport world will witness one of the greatest scan- dals of all time on July 4, when Tommy Gibbons and Jack Demp- sey are called to the center of the ring for their heavyweight cham pionship match.
 Dempsey has another $100.oo0 coming to him before he hghts Gibbons, and If 1t Isn't paid on time, his manager. Jack Kearns' will be faced with as critical 2 situation as ever stared a fight impressario in the mouth.
 If Kearns should refuse to night until all the money was turned over to him, 1t would probably prove disastrous to himself Dempsey and boxing in general while no one could blame him for losing that hundred grand without a struggle.
 Meanwhile, where Is Gibbons coming in on the financial end or the struggle? If the fight proves the great bust" they are pre- dieting for it. Tommy Gibbons will be a luckless man, especially If Champion Dempsey is really Tn condition and tears into young Tommy in old-t time form.

The Birmingham Aehletic club was the political boiling pot of the Magic City sport world Tues day, following Monday nights cancellation of that Wilson Proto fight. From early morning until late at night, little groups of the boys were gathered around discussing the affair of the day before, and trying to analyze the real circumstances underlying the calling off of that bout.
 Some sided with Dave Evans, others took the part of Tommy Tompkins, but all seemed unani- nous In the opinion that the public and the Athletic club were the real victims of that petty argument.
 Dave Evans and Tommy Tomp kins met In the lobby of the club Tuesday morning. At a late hour last night they were reported still deadlocked in an argument that turned Dave blue in the face, and sent Tommy home with ear drums that throbbed and ached from the continual pound ing of words.
  Dave and Tommy-two of the boys-trying to argue the other down as to who was right and who wrong It was a great show, and ringside patrons didn't re- linqulsh their choice positions until they tottered weak and ex- harsted outside for air of less lurid and sulphurous character.
 Out of all the argument, one fact was snrnered that might he of some interest to the sport ing public at large, and, it was this: Dave said he hnd expressed himself as being willing to leave the affair to the house, and Tom my refused. Tommy excused him self for this by saying that the house was n large one, to be sure, for hnd not Dave Evans lot all his Boys Club youngsters in for the nominal sum of 25 cents "YOu think I was foolish enough to let your gang twO-bit me to deathf" demanded Tommy. "That crew of yours could come forth with howl of assent or dissent. ns the case happened to be, that would make me look like a piker."
 Finally, Dave suggested put ting the boys on again, regard less of whether there was a dollar in the house." Tommy caught a rising glint of fire in Herbert Cobbs' eyes, and re-

 For short time the bar in the Greenlight dance hall ran wide open and there wasn't a dry 76 in the place. But shelby now Is dry and to obtain Canadian here the visitors must go about his quest with the same caution and lavish display sr bonafies that he would exercise in Indianapolis.
 One young lady in tent bunga- low on the very hem of Shelby's raveled outskirts, sells bear at s1.50 a quart and is so frightened of the law that she drops through a scut- tie in the pine floor and stands with an aX to smash the evidence with a single blow at every approach of footsteps along the slippery plank leading up to the door. Shelby be- gan realizing that the wild west ern aspect had been overdrawn when inquiries came to the Chamber of Comm merce from organizations else where who wanted to tell their mem bers just what to expect. Shelby then was compelled to admit that tough guys hold no sway, that Is, 1t Is not necessary to go armed; and that ham and eggs aren't s2 a sitting.
 As for Tom Gibbons, who is train ing here. he Is a very nice young man. His home life is lovely. He saves his money. He Is getting about $17.500 out of the fight regardless of whether the gate receipts run high enough to give him a further share. He Is In fine health. But he Is also much the same sort of fight CT that he was when he took Il rounds to stop Chuck Wiggins, and that is to say he is just right good light heavyweight.

Senator A. A. Jones of New Mexico, at the re-
quest of organizations opposing the Bursum bill,
has introduced substitute measure Is. 4223) pro-
vidlng for special court body to settle the claims
and for the reclamation of arid lands. Represent
ative H. p. Snyder, chairman Of the house COM
mittee Indian affairs. has introduced an amend
ed Bursum bill.
Here are some facts which give an idea Of the
complexities Of the situation:
There is no such thing in law ps the Pueblo
Indian tribe. There are the Pueblo Indians OF
New Mexico but there is no tribal organization
that comprises all the pueblos in New Mexico
The bureau OF Indian affairs has never exercised
Jurisdiction over Them 1t has never made any
attempt to control their property Each OF these
pueblos is Incorporated such under the laws
Of the state of New Mexico; the Pueblo Indians as
Individuals have no property, for these separate
pueblos as corporations own the property.
The settlements occupied by the Pueblo Indians
are known as the puebl0s and are as follows:
Zuni, Acoma, Laguna, Isleta Sanda, Santa Ana
Cia, Cochiti, San Felipe. Santo Domingo Jemez
San ndefonso Pojoaque. Nambe, Santa Clara
Taos and San JUAN in connection with which may
be mentioned Moqul or Hopi villages Of Arizona
The lands held by the Indians include Spanish
grants confirmed to the Indians during the first
Lincoln administration These grants date to a
settlement between the Spanish government and
the Indians about 1880; generally there was
grant Of about 1900 acres to each pueblo
When the governors of the Puebos appeared In
Washington to plead their cause they brought with
them their symbols of authorty-silver-headed
canes presented to their predecessors by President
Lincoln in person when the Pueblo grants were
confirmed by congress.
The vast majority of the claims have their origin
prior to the date of the treaty Of Guadalupe HI
dalgo, 1s4s during Spanish and Mexican sover-
eighty. There are upward of 5000 Of these claims
In areas from town lots to farms and ranches. The
total value of all claims as estimated by attor
news for claimant is from $1OO00O00 to 100000
The claims are found in nearly all Of the pueblo
grants In vast majority of the claims the
owners declare their title was obtained by pur-
chase or contract with the governing authorities
Of the pueblo
IAN example Of the encronchments upon the
original grants is the San Juan pueblo. AS con-
ar,ned and patented this grant had 1900 acres
Approximately 1000 acres are rrigable and Of
these 1000 acres 3,412 acres are in the hands Of
claimants The San Juan pueblo contains 4S0 In
dams. There are therefore less than two acres
for the support of each Indian.

practically without debate and without record

consideration of the house. The bill was then
re-referred to the public lands and surveys COM

and contains this matter:
"H you will read the Congressional Record at

as to its effect. therefore recalled the BILL NOT
because had felt the effect of propaganda but
because felt quite sure that the bill had not been
sufficiently considered and that 1t passed the SEN
ate under n misunderstanding as to Its terms"
Out of the opposition to the Bursum bill was
organized the New Mexico Association on Indian
Affairs. This association, in conjunction with the
Indian welfare committee of the General Fedora
tion of Womens Clubs, has published and clrcu
lated pamphlet containing the text Of the Bur
sum bill and an analysis of its provisions The
conclusions are these:
"In general the bill is so full of Inconsistencies
contradictions and language requiring construc.
tion as to render 1t impossible OF amendment in
such way as to serve any useful purpose, either
for the Indians or for the claimants adverse IN
the Indians. 1t should be utterly and wholly de.
feated because: u) It stultihes the government
and adds another failure to Its record Of dealing
with dependent peoples; (2) 1t will ruin the Pueblo
Indians by the loss of their lands and in a short
time utterly destroy them; t3) 1t will not benefit
the settlers, who Will be trapped In endless litiea
ton and unlimited expense thereto"
The conditions declared by the pamphlet To
be intoerable both to the Indians and to the bona
ide claimants. 1t Is recommended that judicial
commission be appointed by the President The
work of the commission would be facilitated and
the welfare Of both Indians and claimants would
largely be assured by the development without
delay of sundry self-sustaining projects of rrga-
tlon and drainage which have been formulated and
recommended for years by the Fifth Irrigation dis
trict of the Indian bureau.
