I'm that exploit alone I would rate
~ Benny Bass good youngster,
but it happens that have seen more
of him than that. He has been com
ing on steadily for some months, and
| know Of few featherweights in the
country who can beat him right now.
He is being managed by Phil Glass
man, who made a great fighter and a
rich man of Lew Tender, who was a
newsboy when Glassman picked him
up. Glassman seems to have great
patience with n young fighter, and he
has brought Bass along very slowly.
Now he is ready for the best.
They have another promising young
fighter over in Philadelphia called
Babe Ruth All who have seen him
box have pronounced him great pros
pect, but Honeyboy Finnigan stopped
him in a round, which proves Finni-
gan's class, more than it proves Ruth
false alarm.

EHUSHY CALLAHAN

ENUSHY CALLAHAN recently
AVA stopped Pal Moran, the New
Orleans lightweight, in three rounds
in Los Angeles, something no other
fighter has ever been able to do.
This feat was sensation wherever
Moran is known. He was regarded
as one of the lightweights at this time.
The stories of the fight indicate that
Callahan had fairly easy time with
Pal.
Callahan, like Tender, was q news
boy. He was picked up and developed
by Eddie Sears, one Of the finest chaps
in the boxing game on the West coast.
Today Callahan is one Of the best
drawing cards around Los Angeles.
He has taken down as high as $4,000
for bout, and yet until he beat Mo-
ran he had scarcely been heard of in
other parts of the country.
Before he stopped Moran, Callahan
beat Russell Leroy, the Dakota light
weight. who was something of a SEN
sation for time. Then Callahan got
draw with Ace Hudkins, and many
Of the spectators thought he should
have had the decision.

DEGARDLEss of the claim of thu

u EOAhDLESS OF tne clalm OF the
IN good Signor Kelly, Honeyboy
Finnigan is real good little fighter.
He is a tall, pallid youth, who is a
reminder of Joe Lynch, former ban
tamweight champion Of the world, in
appearance. He looks more like q
lightweight than a featherweight.
Honeyboy Finnigan is a good punch
err. Not long before he boxed He:-
man he defeated Danny Kramer, the
Philadelphia sidewinder, and he fig
ured to give Herman a close, fight.
Finnigan has whipped some of the best
featherweights in the country, and
many ringworms thought the good Sig
nor di Salvio was making a mistake
in taking a match for Herman with
Finnigan.
i saw Finnigan lose very close
decision one night in Baltimore to
Lew Mayrs. young southpaw of that
city, and Mayrs showed great PROM
Use that he later fulfilled in subse-
quent battles. Then he recently went
to Philadelphia to box Benny Bass,
and was knocked out in few
rounds.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-12-18

CALLAHAN is more of a junior
~ welterweight than he is a light
weight. He weighs in the neighborr'
hood of 40 pounds, but will be a well
terweight before l-ng. and possibly q
middleweight. He could not box IN
New York at this time because he is
under 81, the age limit of the New
York State Athlete Commission.
A boy good enough to stop Pal Mo-
ran would probably have little trouble
with the New York lightweights, but
that makes no difference to the New
York commission. The same rule bars
Young Stribling of Georgia, one of the
greatest fighters in the business. and
Fidcl LeBara, who claims the fly
weight title.
However, with Callahan getting
$4,000 for n bout on the Pacific coast,
it is not likely that he will care to
show himself in New York. He would
be n long time on these inhospitablc
shores before be got that much money.

WITHIN the past few weeks, q
w number of young boxers have
popped into public notice in differ
ent sections of the country, proving
that the Manly Art of Scrambling
Ears can always produce new faces
on short notice.
Musby Callahan of Los Angeles, a
Hebrew with an Irish name, undoubt-
eddy assumed, is one of these young
sters. Benny Bass of Philadelphia, is
another and Honeyboy Finnigan oil
Boston, whose parents named him
Richard, is still third.
Honeyboy Finnigan's musical name
has been mentioned in this column.
have regarded him as one Of the most
promising featherweights in the coun-
try since the night / saw him bent
johnny Dundee, in Washington. His
most recent notable achievement was
the defeat of Babe Herman, regarded
as one of the leading contenders for
the featherweight title, generally
awarded to Louis kid Kapian, OF
Meriden, Conn.
Honeyboy Finnigan's victory over
Herman puts him among the contend
ers. / am informed that Herman's
manager, the ubiquitous Signor James
di Salvio, otherwise Jimmy Kelly,
claims that Honeyboy Finnigan got q
hometown decision in Boston, which
means that in Signor Kelly's opin'
ion, the decision was not what il
should have been.
However, the same claim was made
when Louis kid Kaplan got the
decision over Herman in Waterbury,
Conn.,, not long ago, and probably
with more justification. A Boston
man was the referee in that battle,
so it would appear that Babe Her.
man has little luck with Boston ref
ereeS.

Mass. Grangcrs And Several Towns Bring Test Case Before Fed
 cral Judge.

Boston, Dec. l9 P>-After hearing arguments, three federal judges have taken under advisement a petition 10 cnjoin four Massachusetts state officers from enforcing the daylight saving law.
 The petition was brought by the Massachusetts state grange, resi- dents of the town of Hadley and several brotherhoods of railroad en- ployes. It named as defendants A. torncy General Jay R. Benton, state Treasurer William s. Noungman, State Education Commissioner Pay son Smith. and Secretary of State Frederick W, Cook.
 Counsel for the petitioners argued that thc law was unconstitutional and violated the constitutional rights and guarantees of the plain- liifs in their daily lives and made it necessary for them 10 "conduct their business and social lives on TWO theories of timc.'
 Three judges were required tc ] hear the case under a law which provides that an action in inc United States courts to enioin state officials from enforcing a state law shall be heard by two United Statet

Report Shows He Used Conn. Liberty Certif-

Harold Gilpatric, former state treas urcr, used Liberty bonds belonging to the state for the purpose of Cov- oring up shortages in accounts in tho First National bank of Putnam was the information disclosed by the aC- counting firm of Hadhcld, ROthWcll X Soulc, following the investigation partially made of securities in the state treasury.
 The investigation was halted by the state treasurer when it was mado known that state securities had been tampered with by the former treas urer and legal action against the state for the recovery of bonds had hccn threatened. Much Of this in formation is said 10 be contained in the report which this firm submit ted to the governor.

He had furnished the governor, the bank and the two outside interests which had re- ;ainod him with proof of the ma uipulations Of Gilpatric as treasurer .of the state,
 The report shows that bonds which were shown on the books of tho state treasurer as having been TO- Ceivcd in the state treasury on Jan. 4. 1920. were actually shown hy Gil

 The monument, which Mr. Quillen says is the first that mankind has erected to Eve, after an estimated coco years of history. was carved by Q local marble cutter and was given this inscription:
 Tn memory of Eve, the first woman"
 To make the shaft harmonious in every respect, Mir. Quillcn had a nicely carved apple, with a twig and leaf" placed below the insCrip- tion, But the neighbors stared at inc monument with incrudulous hor- TOT" says Mir. Quinen in the current issue Of his paper, The Fountain Inn Tribune.
 I'm sorry" he adds. 'I never hurt anybody's feelings or offended against anybody's pet superstitions This is purely a family affair. Eve was a fair and charming lady and deserved a finer monument than have provided for her. II it almos incredible that after over 6,0Q0 years of history none Of her kinsmen have erected a stone to hcr memory" i The author further explains tha Eve was a distant relative Of mine on my mothers side" that she wa the first lady of the land" a reign
