TOD MORGAN IS
WINNER in BOUT
WITH SULLIVAN
lBy Dispatch A. P. Wirel

NEW YORK, June 3.-Tod Morgan
of Seattle, successfully defended his
Junior championship here tonight
when he scored technical knockout
over Steve (Kid) Sullivan of New
York, former titleholder, in the
sixth round of a 10-round match at
the Brooklyn National league base
ball park.
The fighting ended after two min
utes and five seconds of the sixth
round when Sullivans handlers tossed
towel into the ring to save the
Brooklyn boy from further punish
ment.
Morgan was away to big lead
right in the opening round. Morgan
toppled Sullivan to the canvas with q
left hook which bounced off Steve's s
chin as the Brooklynite was rushing
in. Sullivan took nine and came up,
weathering the remainder of the
storm with difficulty. The same thing
happened in the second. A left hook
caught Sullivan off balance and he
went down for nine. Morgan was
the aggressor in all the skirmishes.
The end came with startling sud
denness. Sullivan appeared to have
withstood the opening deluge of pun
ishment and was coasting along nice
ly, badly beaten but nevertheless
strong and upright
The towel was as much a surprise
to Sullivan as it was to the disap-
pointed customers. For a few seconds
the boxers continued to fight until
the referee, Jimmy Crowley, spotted
the token of defeat and waved them
apart. Sullivan protested loudly, but
his manager yanked him away.
Morgan piled up a commanding lead
in the first two rounds, sending Sui
livan sprawling to the canvas in the
first and second round with left
hook. Both times the former title
holder took nine and then came up,
covering each time to stem the tide
of defeat.
Morgan was impressive throughout
1T was his first eastern appearance
and he proved himself a well-equipped
champion. He scaled 127h, the chal-
lenger 1881.
Delaney Beats Burns.
Jack Delaney of Bridgeport, Conn,
scored a technical knockout over
Tommy Burns of Detroit, in the sec
ond round of their 10-round, match.
The referee stopped the bout and
awarded the verdict to Delaney after
one minute and SO seconds of tile
second round Burns, apparently hope
lessIy outclassed, was being hit al
most at will by Delaney when the
official stepped between them.

STAYS ON TEAM

Buck" Weaver, manager of the
Douglas Blues this season, has re
signed that position, it was announced
here last night, in the belief that the
shedding of the responsibility attached
to the managership will enable him
to play faster ball for the club.
No successor has been suggested
for the managers berth and the di-
rectors have not met to take any
action. Bunny Lindsey popular
second sacker for the Blues, will act
as field captain for the time being.
Weaver will hold down his regular
berth at shortstop and is ready to
give the team the best that is in him.
He feels that the heavy duties i'm
posed upon him as manager have
somewhat hindered his playing this
season and he is anxious to toss these
worries off his mind and give his all
to the game.

Walter Mckee, custom service Officer
slain on the night of April %, appear.
ed for preliminary hearing today.
Both men pleaded not guilty to the
charge of murder when arraigned early
in the morning of May 80, the day
following their arrest. Three wit.
nesses, Lon Parker, border patrolman;
Antonio Orosco, ranch hand, and An
atanacio Burrull, ranch hand, were
called to the stand by the prosecution
before the close of the days session,
at which time the hearing was recess =
ed, until 1O4a. m. tomorrow. The wit
nesses took the stand in the order
named Parker, who was a compan-
ion of Mckee on the night of his
death, telling of the meeting of the
officers. and a band of men SNUG
Cling liquor.
The smugglers dropped the contra
band, the witness said, and it was
taken by the officers. About an hour
later, still in search OF ssmugglers, the
Officers were fired upon and Mckee
was killed Parker declared he rec
ognized Grija1va and Padilla as MEM
bers of the attacking party.
Orosco, living at the time on the
Alambre ranch, about four miles from
the scene of the shooting, said that
the two accused men came to the ranch
about o'clock that evening and told
him of having trouble with the Off
GERS and shootingt it out with them.
Grijalva also borrowed a hat from
Orosco, he said, his own being miss
ing Eurrull, also an employe at the
Alambre ranch, corroborated the story
of Orosco, when he took the witness
stand.
The court was cleared on motion Of
the defense I'M accordance with the
section of the penal code which per.
mits the request on the part of the
defense attorney and leaves it's eXecu-
tion to the discretion of the mag1s-
trate. It was understood that the re-
quest was made when the attorneys
became concerned over the large num-
Der of border patrol men friends of
Mckee, who were in the city to at
tend the hearing. 1t was thought that
the presence of the officers would in-
timidate the witnesses, according to
those in the confidence of the defense
counsel.

Not that II would be altogether

the $50 dropping out had been, sup

probably remain undone-and the

THE ELECTION

Ms Owing to the late hour for closing
the polls the readers of the papers
the next morning have to be content
with incomplete returns. These, how
ever, leave no doubt respecting the
denomination of Governor Brewster
and carry assurance Of his election
in September.
Along with this, at this writing. the
returns from this county Of Kennebec
indicate that the voters have made
vigorous protest against the admini-
STATIONS attitude toward Sheriff
Cummings.
The Republicans Of the State of
Maine are disposed to be fair. Their
primary this year was not tnterfered
with BY Democratic voters. They
have been impressed by the Govern
or's efforts to inspire activity and
coordinate and direct publicity for
the State. Many have credited him
With determination to maintain law
and order, to encourage economy In
administration of the States affairs.
and they would uphold his hand.
At the outset we anticipated COM
paratively little support for Major
Thayer's candidacy. He was running
counter to precedent In asking the
Republican party to refuse the Gov
ernor a second term. Republican vo-
tsrs naturally would expect the OBJ
3ections to be serious to warrant TAX
ing such a step. Opposition to the
Maher bill Is undeniably strong, but
may be effective at the polls in Sep
TENDER. Then Major Thayer uncom-
promisingly announced that he would
not vote for his opponent in event
the Republicans of the State should
nominate him. In the light of this
much criticized statement and all the
conditions the vote he appears to be
getting is to us surprising. 1t carries
a note of protest that should be heed
ed. although we do not expect his
supporters to follow his example at
the polls in September. 1t indicates
that certain apprehensions in the
minds Of considerable body of the
voters have not been entirely dissipa-
ted by tho administration Of Governor
Brewster.
This. however, should not be taken
to mean that he is not endeavoring
to be q Governor Of all the people
or that he will not ably conduct the
affairs Of the State.

CONSTRUCTIVE ECONOMY

Economy Of the constructive kind
10 what this country has had under
the Coolidge administration. S@
The President, addressing the
semi-annual budget meeting en-
phasizes the need. II we would have
economy that Is constructive, OF
testing out the present plan, before
attempting to reduce taxes again.
Otherwise we might encourage
business to anticipate a tax reduc-
ton which could not be main
tanned. That would be the op-
posite of constructive economy
Furthermore we are facing neces-
sary improvements, such as the
building program.
constructive Economy" is not
that which saves at the expense OF
actual needs, or which tends to dis
organize or discourage needfuI en-
terprise.
Debt reduction, the President
reminds us, is an essential element
in constructive economy. The in
terest charges on excessive borrow
ings Is a tremendous burden on
enterprise.
Evidently this fact isn't sufficient
ly impressed upon us. Our borrow
ings on tax-exempt securities afford
abundant proof of this.
How many of US realize that in
1921 Federal expenditure was 60 per
cent of all costs Of government while
in 1925 1t was only 81 per cent?

No by David Cory

No. my dear little reader. Woody
Woodchuck didn't hop into this
story, after leaving Little Jack Rab-
bit. Nor did Grandmother Maybe
wing her way over to the Farmyard
to inform the Kind Farmer that
Woody Woodchuck was fond of
vegetables. She might have had she
not feared he might misunderstood
her reason, so, with a fit of her
tail, away she flow to the Shady
Forest, leaving the little bunny boy
to his own thoughts.
"Now. what shall l do?" he won
dered,-but not very long. Then off
he went clipperty clip, lipperty lip
along the bank of. the Bubbling
Brook until he reached a place
where the water had dug out a deep
gully, leaving on either side a high
bank. Sitting down for a moment
to rest he suddenly heard a strange
giggling twitter and from a hole in
the high bank with a whir of wings
darted Mr.. and Mrs. Bank Swallow.
Dear mel" they exclaimed, on
seeing 1t was only the bunny boy
and not some one who would do
them harm. THE tumperty thump

end of our tunnel. Quite distance,

a yards length into the sandy face
Of the bank"
Quite a piece OF work for them,
little reader, for they are the small
est of our swallows, only slightly
more than five inches in length.
But. dearest me! What noise they
made!
what are you doing up here?"
went on Mr.. Bank Swallow, curious
ly.
Looking for an adventure"
laughed the little rabbit, noticing
the brownish gray feather coat and
white vest, with a band of light
brown across it, in which the little
bird was dressed. ITO tell you the
truth l never knew that the Bub-
bling Brook had such high banks"
"The heavy rains early this spring
washed away the loose, sandy bot
TOM" explained Mrs. Bank Swallow.
And when we came to look for a
place to build We chose this spot.
Very handy for u.s."
"Have you any little birds?" asked
the curious bunny boy.
Eyes. indeed" she answered,
proudly. "At the far end of the
tunnel we have made a room in
which we have built a loose nest
Of grass and feathers. All along the
face of the bank you will see open
ings, for we have quite a colony
of friends with u.s."
"When did you arrive?" asked the
the little rabbit.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-06-22

"Iate in April" answered Mr..
Bank Swallow. ITS quite a trip
from Brazil, where we spend the
winter months. Besides, as we are
insect feeders. 1t is wiser to come
late, for then we are sure of food"
The next minute off they flew in
search of food for their hungry
youngsters. And the little rabbit
sat there for over an hour just to
count the number of times these
devoted parents flew back and forth
with food, and, would you believe,
if your Uncle Dave didn't say so,
they made 90 trips during that time.
Dear me-" sighed the little rabbit,
by and by, after a while and a look
at the little gold watch which dear
Uncle Lucky had given him for his
birthday, "how long will you keep
this up?"
