BURNS BROKEN
HAND PUTS STOP
TO BORDER BOUT

After fighting five rounds with
"a broken hand, Jimmy Burns was
forced to quit in the sixth round of
his scheduled Is round bout with
Kid Savage at the Owl yesterday
afternoon, after having administer
ed fine lacing to the big Serb.
Savage was knocked down twice
in the first round by the sledgc-
hammer like blows of the fighting
tar, and even with ON hand gone,
Burns was able to inflict heavy
punishment on the Mexicali battler.
With two fights between these
men ending in an unsatisfactory
manner, "A third one would undoubt-
edly draw almost as well as cham
pionship scrap.
Eddie Howard was unable to APP
pear and Battling Doty substituted
for him in six round go with
Battling Paul Of Brawley. Doty
took the decision, and in the fifth
round it seemed as if Paul would
take the count, when he ran into
one of Doty's straight arms and hit
the canvas with thud He manag-
ed to reach his feet before the final
count, and then weathered the sixth.
The veteran Kid Mex took live
ly four round match from Kid La
vine, the bout being one of the
,liveliest seen at the Owl III some
time.
y rousing curtain match that was
brimful of action, put the fans in
good fcttc for the afternoon.

NURMI TAKES
PADD0CK'S PLACE
ON big THREE
Nurmi Allowed Only
Eight Dollars
a Day
BY HENRY L. FARRELL,
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent,

NEW YORK, Feb. ID a c k
Dempsey, Babe Ruth and Paavo
Nurmi, Tex Rickard estimates, are
the three greatest attractions in
sports. Charley Paddock was once
an illustrious member of the big
three, but the record breaking Finn
has taken his place.
Dempsey is worth $500,000 every
time he works. He has not work
ed in the ring sice 1923, when he
earned $750,000 for two fights.
Ruth draw $4,000 year from
the New York Yankees and he
probably collects another 10000
from the little extras he. does on
the side. ~ 'ss'S
Nurmi is an amateur. Dempsey
and Ruth are highly spaid profes-
Sionals. Nurmi is allowed $s a. day
for expenses. Out of those eight
bucks he must pay for "A place to
sleep, must keep himself .yinY food,
and foot the bills for all his Incl
dcntals.
Since he has been in, thissacoun
try, Nurmi, it is estimated, has
appeared before 10000 spectators,
who paid ont $50,600 to see him
run. Nurmi gets no part of that
gate because be is an alpateur. -
How much Nurmi gets for run
ming has been Il popular form of
speculation since he became first
class page story in this country.
Some feel that although he is an
amateur he may profit considerably
from his activities l-
.Nurmi, however, is an amateur
according to the strictest spirit of
the rule. He was offered $500 re-
Gently by a syndicate for II series
of six signed articles telling of his
methods Of training. and imning
and he turned down the offer. He
said that it would make him. look
like "a profess siou4L lt!lQagA-4ths

Pershing Rule Menaces Tacna-Arica

lean Imperialism has been playing,
not Peru's game but it's own. While
it is true that one or two small deci-
sions have operated to strengthen the
position Of Peru as against Chile, the
general trend of the decisions has
been rather favorable to Chile. Chile
an police are given exclusive right to
patrol the Tacna-Arica district, and
the conditions of pres. CooIidge's

certain to win the plebiseite, when

Many circumstances, as for instance,
the old and inherited traditions, habits
and methods of the old organizational
apparatus, and probably the INSULT
cheney Of our educational activities,
are at the bottom of the fact, that
some OF the members still do not see
and do not understand the necessity
of the reorganization. Help them
along; but fight with all possible
means against those who stand
against the reorganization of the
party in principle. Only in a reorgan-
lied party, which will respond to the
seriousness of the situation and to
the coming political and economical
conditions, will we be in a position to
become real Communists and Bolshe-
viks, going forward in the spirit OF
Leninism.
There will be many obstacles. II
is necessary to discuss them thoroiy
and then act. If you become consci-
Gus OF all the obstacles, you will easily
overcome them; IL not, they win ap-
pear later when you probably will not
be in a position to deal with them sue
cessfully.
The object Of every party member
at present should be the bolsheviza-
ton OF our ranks!

ally policeman OF a soldier would
use the fist or butt of the gun, but
more for the fun of it. Gradually the
storm died down.
There were hundreds killed, thous-
ands wounded, over a hundred girls
outraged. Some of them committed
suicide later on. Many went mad.
Among the killed rioters were found
a gendarme and some policemen dres-
sed in civilian.
For months the mute witnesses Of
the tragedy-the burnt and blackened
buildings,-stood as sentinels over the
dark and deserted streets. Some Of
the owners were killed, others left
town. The house at Aziyatskaya No.
IL was not touched by human hand
for over year. The blood of the
victims was on its walls. People were
afraid to pass near that house at
night. There were rumors that at
night wailing was heard there, that
was the blood Of the innocent crying.
The superstitious dark people, christ
lans and Jews alike, believed these
rumors. The christians would cross
themselves passing that house, the
Jews would whisper a prayer.
THE political demonstration of the
revolutionary organizations was
postponed indefinitely.
Later on we learned that the po-
grom was arranged at the suggestion
Of Won Pleve, the minister of inner af-
fairs, for the. sole purpose of frustrat-
ing our demonstration. The local gen.
darmes were the organizers of the po-
grom, they also printed the circulars
about the christian blood in matzos.
The pogram was also expected to
bring in race hatred between the Jew
ish and christians workers and there
by prevent their organization against
the common foe. the murderous bloody
czaristic government.
This iiendish plan worked for a
while, but not too long. as will be ex-
planned in the other stories to follow.
