On clear sunny day can stars
be seen from a deep mine shaft
or canyon as clearly as they can
be distinguished at night in the
open?
The United States Naval Observa-
tory says there was formerly wide
spread belief that stars could be
seen in the day time from the bot
tom of a deep well or mine shaft
nearly as well as they are seen at
night, but that this belief is general
ly recognized now as being without
foundation.

ERNIE AND BOBBY
ARE EXCITING A
LOT OF COMMENT
Much Speculation AS
Whether Experience or
Youth is Best.
BY JIMMY GREENE

For the first time this year the
fans about the city are talking
fight, y the particular argument
3 tins time being whether or not
Bobby La Sale can score Il win over
the veteran Ernie Goozcman at the
Imperial Valley Athletic club to-
morrow night.
On Goozeman 5 side of the ledger
is over Il decade of experience, a
'"putation for being a great ring
general, and natural ability to box
ana TO hu hard. La Sale
stands out on the same assets, ex-
crp, ma, ne mas not the experience
that Goozcman possesses, being Il
youngstcr who is coming, rather than
going.
La Sale is training hard for his
scrap, and the local BOY is anxious
for a win, realizing that it will be
the means of getting him plenty
of good fights. Any boxer who is
goou enough to get decision over
Goozeman is good enough to be seen
in any California ring. Because of
the fact that La Sale has every
thing To win and nothing to lose,
he is being made a faVorite by many
of the bows who like to back their
Judgment with bit of dinero.
Jacks Is Puncher
Considerable curiosity has also
been aroused over Albert Jacks, the
former London champion who is bill
ed to meet Billy Couglar in the see
ond ten round scrap. There have
not been many English boxers to
show their stuff around these parts
and the fans will watch Albert 5
work CLOSELY. He has Il reputation
for knockouts, having won his last
six fights in that fashion.
.Alberts WAS taken under Billy
McMahon 5 wing ON his arrival IN
this country a few weeks ago, and
McMahon believes that by working
hi min Imperial Valley and other
outhern California points, he can
build up n reputation for his Eng
lisn hoy that will give him an OPP
portunity to take on some of the
bigger guns in the pugilistic family.
Couglar Has Rep
Couglar is expected TO furnish
plenty of competition for the Eng
lishman and is coming here with
reputation Of being considerable of
4 >crapper.
Two four round scraps will whet
the appetites of the fans for the
action that is promised by the double
main event. Young Lucero and Mi
licino will step four rounds. The
fromer i Calexico high school boy
vino has been seen in action here on
numerous occasions and he has al
ways given a good account of him
self no matter how tough an antag-
ouist he may be pitted against.
De La Fucntc OF CalcXieo will
take on Young Rivilla i'll the four

Test of Big Six stamina

Over pot-holed roads which would have
meant suicide to most cars-up noun
tain grades made treacherous by the con
stant downpour around washed-out
bridges by dangerous detours - the Big
Six drove ahead without ialtering.
Despite these handicaps, Jenkins checked
in at Salt Lake City at 8;l7 P. M.-the
same day Of his departure from Los An
geles. The 78l miles between the two
'.- had been covered in exactly IS

miles per hour! To maintain this aver
age under the prevailing weather and road
conditions, speed as high as 81 mile per

The car was stock model Big Six which had
been run .gss than a thousand miles. III spite
of the speed, climbing and rugged road condi-
tions. gasoline consumption averaged l2,3 miles
