Dundee, with one foot in the
pugilistic grave and the other
on a banana peel, is not the card
he used to be, and as for Criqui
he's dead duck before he starts.
The fans might fall for a pair
of younger men battling a return
match, but when it comes to
watching a pair who should be in
the old fighters home we rather
think that the affair viii be a
bust.
Dundee and Criqui are both
popular little fellows and the
fans hate to see either in hori-
zontal position with the sun
burning the roof of his mouth.
We are inclined to think that
the fight pulled off in private
would do more good for boxing
than a public exhibition.

Many were the shifts of players
from one big league club to an
other before this present season
got under way.
Dave Bancroft shifted from
the Giants to become manager of
the Boston Braves, taking with
him Casey Stengel and Bill Cum
ningham. Southworth left. the
Braves to join the Giants, be-
ing accompanied by Joe Oeschger.
"Cotton Tierney," of the Pills,
was exchanged for AL Nixon, Of
the Braves.
Steve O'Neill, Bill Wamby and
Joe Connolly left the Indians for
the Red Sox in an exchange for
AL Walters, Chick Fewster and
George Burns.
The Tigers sold Bob Veach to
the Red Sox. The Cincinnati
Reds grabbed Carl Mays from
the Yankees.
The Phillies have Horace Ford,
last year with the Braves, and
Earl Hamilton, last year with
Pittsburgh.
Jack Kelleher was with the
Cubs in 1923, but this year finds
him with the Braves.
New Ones Come In.
MI ANY new players are to be
N found with major league
AVA clubs this season. Some
may yet fail to make good, but
their places will be eventually
filled with other new ones.
The Griffs are using Prothro,
the Memphis thirdsacker, and
George Fisher, the New Haven
outfielder, for instance, in their
daily lineup. Dudley Lee, from
Tulsa, is the Red Sox shortstop,
while Glenn Wright, the Kansas
City star, has ousted Maranville

and adjusting water rates. Partly
on account of police services and

was reduced from 1924 to $7II.
Two claims for police duty were
laid on the table because they
were not itemized and do not show
authority for the work. Other

against the Park fund; $2S 4o,
library; $82. SO street lighting fer

cept Mrs. c. Cassidy. The rate
for the new garage was fixed at
81. 50 per month beginning Sept.
I. Families relocated are required
to pay the rate for the house occu
pied, as determined by the number
of rooms. The board instructed
the treasurer to enforce the ordi-
nance requiring that water be shut
off where consumers do not pay by
the 10th of each month, and exact
the penalty of 50 cents when it is
turnet on again.

DEFENSE TEST DAY
In Interest Of Peace, Says Gov
eTnOr Moore.

An earnest request for every
citizen OF Idaho to CO operate with
state and county committees in
carrying out the plans OF National
Defense day. September IA, is
contained in a proclaim alton issued
by Governor c. c. Moore last
Saturday. ssE
The Idaho executive calls upon
ldaho's citizcnry TO tamiliarize
itself with its duty in regard TO
national defense, should an emerg
ency arise, and expires ed the
belief that Idaho ever will be
ready to defend the institutions
and principles Of American govern
ment for which our forefatbers
lived and died.
Because one of the fundamental
principles OF the day is that j,
shall no, interfere with the regular
course OF business September II is
not proclaimed holiday by the
governor.
He says in part:
Under the national defense act
the defense Of our country is IN the
hands of her citizens, and the
purpose of Defense Test day is TO
afford an opportunity for all citi
zens to familiarize themselves with
the present plan of national
defense and to realize their indi-
vidual and collective responsibility
and duty to their country in peace
as well as in times Of emergency,
and to re affim their allegiance 10
the constitution and laws OF The
United States and to express their
to defend their price-
less heritage Of American liberty
should its existence ever be threat
-ned.
"The spirit and purpose Of this
lay are in entire accord and har-
nony with all intelligent plans apd
projects for world peace, and the
support OF all citizens of our
present defense program will de-
ninish the need for large perma-
lcnt military and naval establish
nents.
"Nothing in the plan for the due :
OF this day can be just
y termed militaTistic or mistakeR !.

iberties and institutions against
