Two Good Bouts on Tap
NEW YORK and Los Angeles
~ will furnish two great
cards for the followers of
fisticuffs during the month Of
December.
In Los Angeles, Bud Taylor, the
Terre Haute Terror, fights Jimmy
McLarnin, return bout of ten
rounds at Jack Doyle's Vernon
Club and in New York, on Decem-
Der II, Jack Delaney meets Par
alyzing Paul Berlenbach in a re-
turn bout for fifteen rounds.
There's a pair of "naturals" if
there ever were any.
McLarnin, who has grown since
he was outpointed by Taylor some
months ago is forced to make 125
pounds for this fight. Taylor,
one Of the rings freaks, can make
the bantamweight limit of 11S
pounds if necessary, but fights
as a feather also. A great kid
with plenty of skill and conf
dence.
Los Angeles is all hot right now
thinking of this bout. McLarnin's
recent X. o. of Jackie Fields and
Taylor's win over Pete Sarmiento,
the Filipino, boosted the boys a
lot in the eyes of the fans and
this go is about the last word
IN close bouts.
Berlenbach is slight favorite
over Delaney even though he was
knocked colder than a cats nose
last year by the Bridgeport better.
The boys who wager, think that
Paul is in better shape and a far
more dangerous man than he was
before.
It's too tough for the writer to
attempt to pick winner. A
knockout will probably decide it.

.|LL. BURIED CITY PROBED FOR GOLD
Pike County Relic Of Pre-Glacial
 Age May Hold Treasures

Quincy, Ill, December 3. (AP)-A buried city, the site, perhaps, of q pre- glacial age civilization, has been found in excavations in Pike county, Missouri six miles from the Missis- sippi river and fifty miles from here.
 Beneath twelve feet of glacial drift a well defined shaft has been uncovered leading to a floor, 65 feet down. A wall leads from the foot of the shaft, crossed by a similar well, either dividing the passage from subterranean chambers or support ing the roof
 Workers have concentrated et- forts on a point 25 feet from the foot of the shaft at the edge of what they believe is room. In it they hope to find gold, pottery and pos sibly mummies or skeletons of the citys ancient inhabitants.
 Search for buried treasure led 10 the discovery of the shaft. An ex- petition headed and financed by R, D. Burchard of St, Louis, investigat- ing old Indian legends of buried treasure, found it. By means of an instrument similar to the oldfash- toned diyining rod, Burchard claims to have traced the walls of 42 under ground rooms and seven passage ways connecting them.
 The shaft was walled with ce- ment-like material different in color from the earth within the shaft, no trace of which was found above the pre- glacial surface. In the shaft, at intervals of few feet, were caps or plates like concrete, extending only 10 the walls. Between the caps the earth had the appearance of having been tamped in with poles, Bur chard said
 At the base of the shaft a straight wall of har drocky substance leads west of several feet turning south al q perfect right angle. Across 8 i threo foot passageWay Is a similar wall. The floor of the passage is of gravel bound with q clay filler. The roof is of rubbery clay in thin strata as f deposited by water during cen
