GREAT IN
VICTORY
By DAVIS j. WALSH

BY DAVIS b. UAL0n
International News Service sports Editor
NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-New
York, long q prey to a sardonic
suspicion that frankie Genaro
was really the greatest flyweight
in the world, read its answer in
the stars last night. One of them
was FideI La Barba, Of Los An
geles. Lew. Perfetti, his opponent
in the real feature bout of the
annual Christmas fund show, saw
the others.
This community admits no off
cial recognition of La Barba as
champion flyweight of the world
because the young man is under
the local age limit, but the GUS
toners can and did draw their
own conclusions.
After watching Idel give Per-
fettI. bantamweigbt. a shelack-
ins in six rounds, they knew be-
yOnd the peradventure of doubt
that La Barba had beaten Genaro
on the plumb-bob level.
On what he uncovered last night,
he is one of the greatest cham
pions of the day and age, better
than Pancho Villa and comparable
with Jimmy Wilde, Johnny Canlon,
Jimmy Barry and other immortals
who held the title before him.
1t was the night before Christ
mas Eve and Santa Claus rode
into town on a boxing glove. the
gate having been estimated at
around $50, 900, on which the fight
ers cut fifty-fifty.
The glove held a present Of
four fingers and a thumb and
Perfetti got all of them before
the end of the sixth round which
ne was fortunate to survive. He
started like a winner, at that.
He took the first two rounds,
scoring a short Touchdown with
a left hook to the jaw in the
opener. But after the second, he
took lot of other things and
most Of them on the Jaw.
And, lest we forget. the New
York Commission at least gave
20 to voice recognition to La Barba's
title.

lice that he had recently come there
from Red Lodge, Montana. No names
will be mentioned here but the truth
should be told and that is that the
man in question left Red Lodge more
than two years ago and while here
he was considered to be respectable
citizen. 1t is therefore possible that
he became corrupt-that he went
wrong-after becoming a resident of
the metropolis of western Missouri.
1t would indeed TAKE quite a stretch
Of the imagination before any of us
could find material for pride in the
acts of our former fellow citizen

other features of their city claim that
they have the most adept lot of pick

Mrs. Pantana Dies in
Oregon; Buried Here

The body of Mrs. Arnie Pantana,
who died in Portland, Oregon, Decem-
Der 23rd, arrived in Red Lodge Christ
mas Day for burial. Funeral services
were held Sunday afternoon at two
o'clock from the Workers Hall with
Rev. Matt Erkkila officiant. Servic-
es were conducted under the direction
of the Downard Funeral Parlors and
interment was made in the Red Lodge
cemetery.
Mrs. Pantana has been resident of
Red Lodge for years until her depar-
ture to the west coast last February
in an effort to cure the ravages OF tu-
berculosis from which she had been
suffering for about five years. tt is
possible that the death of her father
in Connecticut ten day prior to her
death might have hastened her pass
ing away. She was thirty-one years
lod. She is survived by mother in
Connecticut and her husband, who ac-
companied the remains to Red Lodge

the contented one is never poor.
We citizens Of Montana and Carbon
county havn't so much cause for COM
plant after all. We have none if we
would but idealize the real. II we
would just learn to get outside Of our-
selves and take an interest in other
folks once in a while we would see
that there are so many varieties of
griefs and sorrows and glooms and
sufferings in other parts of the world
that our own petty troubles would pail
into insignifcance.
So, then, let us face 1925 firm in the
belief that it is glorious to live and
face "the storms that rise dark DER
the way" And let us believe too,
that throughout its 365 days the angel
of light will hang a rainbow on the
bosom Of the darkest cloud and when
the angry furies of the tempest will
rush out from their vapory vaults to
harness their thunder shod steeds to
the chariot of the winds, the spirit
of Love and Hope and 0ptomism will
whisper on the Gallilee of every troub-
led heart, peace be still".
