owen PHELPS MEETS COAST
FIGHTER IN BISBEE JULY !

Eyes of the southwest's sport world
will be on Bisbee July 4 when Owen
Phelps, of Mesa, Ariz., light heavy
weight champion of the southwest,
throws leather at Jack Lee, of Los
Angeles in 10 round bout at
Warren Park. The card gets under
way at Z p. m.
Twenty-eight rounds of leather
pushing are included on the well
balanced card that is expected to
draw capacity crowd from the entire
southwest.
Phelps will give away 10 pounds
to his adversary when they enter the
ring but his speed and punching
power is being banked upon by Ariz-
onans to more than even the count
with the California glove chucker.
Phelps is in his best fighting con-
dition at ITO pounds and Lee is
expected to weigh in at 18O Both
boys are of the type that love to
mix it and each is confident that
the bout will be brought to an early
close with his opponent on the canvas.
A fight that is attracting almost,
if not quite, as much attention as
the main event is the six round
special event with Jack Lynch, the
Arizona collegian from Prescott, TAX
ing on Steve Ramos of Tucson.
Lynch fights at 176 and Ramos
at 1876. Both battlers have fought
main events throughout the southwest
and can always be depended upon
to give action. Lynch's fight in FL
Paso last fall with Chief Elkhart is
still the talk of that section, the
Arizona boy coming back after being
knocked down repeatedly in the first
part of the fight to win by knockout
in the later rounds.
The semi-finals bring two pairs of
lightWeights together, with Battling
Ortega, Bisbee, meeting Kid Leche,
Ajo and Eddie Franti, of Bisbee, mix
ing with Jack Riggs, of Australia.
Both are six FOUNDERS.

.KERRICK KILLER
FIVE SENTENCED
TO San QUENTIN

LOS ANGELES, June % F).-Su-
perior Judge Carlos Hardy today
backed up the jury in the recent Tom
Kerrick murder trial in its announced
intention to "call halt on HoilyWOod'S
wild drinking parties and killings" by
overruling the states plea for proba-
ton for five convicted men and women.
The Whitc-haired judge told the film
cowboys widow and the other de-
PENDANTS that people who live such
lives como to no good end," and sent
them all to San Quentin peniCentiary
for from one to ten years on the man
slaughter conviction.
Those sentenced were Mrs. Sarah
Kerfick, Anita Davis, Iris Buns and
Henry Isabel, all of whom appeared
several times in motion pictures casts,
and Joe Hunt, Arizona cowboy, whose
money financed the wild drinking orgy
during which Kerrick was killed and
whose gun fired the bullet that killed
the actor.
The trial of the quintet, who PARTED
all night with gallon of "moonShine'"
in the Kerrick flat in what police said
was the widest orgy to come to their
attention, was one of the most unusual
ever conducted in a local court. Each
defendant attempted to shift the blame
onto another. The state did not try
to place the revolver in the hand of
any of the defendants, but asked for a
manslaughter conviction for all.
Judge Hardy, in ruling out the states
plea for clemency and the reports of
probation officers, declared that Isa-
bell and Miss Davis had violated the
moral code in living together while
unwed and that the Kerricks had lived
together before they were married. Miss
Burns, he said, had been married
couple Of times and was not living with
her husband"
The court roundly lectured the
shrinking defendants for their partici-

patton in the drinking and carousing.
Turning to Joe Hunt, who came to
Hollywood to see his former friend of
the ranges, Kerrick, and to put on a
party with money he had saved,
Judge Hardy scored him for carrying
concealed weapons. Testimony at the
trial showed that Hunt knew nothing
of the killing until some time after
ward, being in drunken sleep at the
time of the scuffle which resulted in
the cowboy being killed.
Miss Davis furnished the most SEN
sational testimony at the trial by de-
claring that Mrs. Kerrick fired She shot
that killed her husband when C film
player turned from the cup of coffee
she offered him and accepted, instead,
a drink of liquor from the hand of Miss
Burns. The latter, however, put on a

witness who testified that he met her
far from the scene of the shooting
before it actually happened. On cross
examination Miss Burns was forced,
though she fought to the bitter end,
into admissions that she had remained
all night in the apartment of the man
with whom she kept the tryst.
The five convicted men and women,
each of whom subsequently renounced
their own acts in participating in the
drinking party, were stunned into si-
lence when the court pronounced sem
tence. AS the astonished prosecutor
passed out of the courtroom, attorneys
Tor the defendants announced that ap-
peals would be taken Immediately.

SHORE DEMOCRATS FACE FIGHT
j. H. @. Legg, Queen Anne County, to
Oppose Miles in the Primaries

A bitter Congressional primary
fight in Democratic ranks on the
Eastern Shore seemed a certainty
Friday when J. H. @. Legg, former
State Senator from Queen Anne's
county, Md, announced his candidacy
to succeed Representative T. Alan
Goldsborough, Of the First district.
Although it has been known ever
since Hooper S. Miles, of Salisbury,
became a candidate for nomination
for the House, that he would be op-
posed by someone from the upper end
of the peninsula, Mr.. Legg's an
nouncement caused surprise.
According to reports current, sew
eral other Democrats also may de-
clare their candidates.. It is gener-
ally predicted that there will be no
compromises and that "a real old
time primary scrap" will take place.
Mr.. Legg's greatest strength out
side his own county will be found
among the watermen Of the Shore, his
friends asserted. He has always been
a champion of their cause and repre-
sented the oystermen last winter in
hearings before committees Of the
Legislature on the proposed leasing
of beds in the Chesapeake Bay.
Mr.. .Legg served two terms in the
State Senate. He is son Of the late
William Henry Legg, who served sew
en- terms in the Maryland Legislature
and who during the first administra-
tion Of President Grover Cleveland
was Deputy Surveyor Of the Port of
Baltimore and Deputy Collector of
Internal Revenue during the second
Cleveland Administration.
Others on the Shore who have been
mentioned as possible candidates for
Congress are 5. Scott Beck, State
Senator from Kent county; Cecil Q.
Squier, State Senator from Cecil
county; Orlando Harrison, State SEN
ator from Worcester county; T. Mas
Oh Shehan, Of Easton, and Mr.. Har-
rington, and Dudley G. Roe, State
Senator from Queen Anne's. Mr. Roe
it is understood, while willing to be-
come the nominee Of his party, would
not become a candidate in a primary
election.
An unusual feature Of the situation
il that the fight for Mr.. Goldsbor-
ough's seat has started before he has
entered on the term for which he was
elected last November. Mr.. Colds
borough is regaining His health and
will spend the summer at Rehoboth
Beach, according to reports from the
Shore

Each time they found the same

they started a fire in a stove termed

Reflection of flames from the sala-
