slips of paper seemed to be snout-

loud knock and as I leaned over to
pick up a fresh batch of yellow and
blue envelopes from under the door,
the telephone started it's steady woT h

"Uncle Tom" McCarey and
"Sunny Jim" Cofforth, two of the
most famous ring promoters Of
California's olden. golden days,
have been told flatly that they
will not be licensed to stage ring
shows. Indeed, better than that,
the commissioners are quoted as
saying that "the promoters OF
old-tirne bouts have no possible
chance of operating under the
new commission
"Uncle Tom" McCarey conducted
boxing shows in California for
seventeen years under the old
laws and ended with a reputation
for honesty not surpassed even by
those members Of the 1925 COM
mission. He has thousands OF
friends who are now all het up
over the situation.
Until tipped off, McCarey was
erecting an arena about seven
miles from Los Angeles with q
seating capacity of 10000. Work
has stopped and may not be
taken up again. McCarey being
rather down in the mouth.
AS for Coffroth, it is said that
he had Do intention of entering
che game again, but that he is
wrathy over the insinuatien OF
the commissioners that he is not
an honest man.
Then comes a mandate from
the secretary of the new commits
sion that no manager will be al
lowed to act as a second. This is
really the tip-off as to the COM
plexion of the commission. 1t is
| apparently composed of amateurs
and amateurs in the boxing game
always wind up in a heap of

MRS. MAYFLOWER RETURNS
FROM SUMMER IN ALASKA

Mrs. w. A. Mayflower returned last
week from Alaska and coast points
after being away for the past four
months. Most of this time was spent
with her daughter, Mrs. Warren Gill,

entertaining time, saw the massive
coal fields and visited the famous sill
yer fox farms. Jimmie Vail, Flag
staff boy, and his wife she found rum
ming hotel and recreation center at
one of the many beautiful lakes in
that part of the country. There was
plenty of sunshine, for during most OF
the summer there was practically no
night. A leisurely return with stops
with friends in Seattle, San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles took about q
month. In the bay city she called
upon a lady who had been her school
teacher 40 years ago. The only dis
turbing feature of her pleasant vaca-
tion was the abundance of and per-
lsistence shown by mosquitoes.

JOE WALDHAUS TAKES A
BRIDE AND BRIDAL TOUR

Joseph J. Waldhaus and his bride
left for California SO soon following
the wedding ceremony Tuesday by
Rev. H. f. Softley at the Federated
parsonage Tuesday morning that their
many friends didn't have chance to
cucumber them with rice and old
shoes and speed them on their happy
way with best wishes.
Never mind; they'll be back in few
weeks and the ordeal awaits.
The bride was Miss Beulah Grif-
fin of Coldwater, Kan, who last year
taught school in Wichita, that state.
She came here right after her school
closed to spend the summer, and now
many other summers-and winters
too-are scheduled at this mountain
paradise. She is a charming young
woman and a talented musician.
Joe is too we'll known here to say
anything bad about him without the
sayer getting hurt much and sundry
by Joe's friends. He is proprietor OF
the Waldhaus garage, agent for
Studebaker cars, an energetic, success
ful business man and a high-class
chap.
It's so easy wishing this fine young
couple long years of happiness and
prosperity that there's nothing else
easier to do. And here's hoping all
such wishes about them come strictly
and abundantly true. After Stude-
bakering along the coast for q few
weeks they'll be home.

and Mr. Edgehill $135.
Louis Kelly, fire engineman, who
recently bought the Weatherford hotel
pool hall, offered his resignation.
Council refused to accept it, both be
cause Mr.. Kelly is too valuable a man
to lose and because it is felt that his
place of business is so near the fire
station that the service will not suf-
fer when he's there.
