Travelling back toward his former

business when he gets to Denver, E.
B. Campbell, OF Sheridan, Wyo,, ac-
companied by his wife and youns
son, passed last night at the Gadsden
and will continue his journey toward
the east. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell
have been travelling on the Pacific
coast since early September following
the sale of his laundry business at
Sheridan.
"Ror something more than II years
had been engaged in the laundry
business at Sheridan and on selling
I decided to enjoy a rest. That Is
my reason for being at the coast, "
said Campbell, land it, was not due
to any special desire to seek a change
of climate. Personally, I like the
wyoming climate. Wyoming is a
good state and business there has
been good during the last year. My
present program probably will result
in making Denver my home and
headquarters. as 1 am negotiating to
buy a laundry there" H%

MAN NOT FOUND

HICKS AT CAMP

Lieutenant Luongo, athletic officer
at Camp Jones, reported yesterday
afternoon that he has not yet been
able to secure man to go INTO
the ring against Battling Hicks for
the Camp Jones boxing card to be
staged on December 28.
The athletic officer states, how
ever, that there is local boy, a
Mexican with some reputation in the
SQUARED circle, who may be induced
to take chance with Hicks. In
any event, the officers says, there
will be a card at the Camp Service
club next week and every effort is
being made to match Hicks with
someone who can stay with him.

BOXING MATCH
OF 27 ROUNDS
FRIDAY NIGHT

Boxing fans are looking forward to
the program which will be presented
on Friday / evening at the Lyric
theater when four events have been
planned for the entertainment. The
big event is. expected to- be the ten
round go \ between Kid Connolly,
of Bisbee,s and Jack Beaver, of DOUG
las, the former, scheduled to weigh
153 and the Douglas lad to scale 14S.
But the major event is by no means
q monopoly on the interest of those
who follow the affairs of the squared
circle. The eight round match which
will bring Battling Hicks, of Nogales,
weighing 156, into the ring with Yaqui
Edwards, of Camp Jones, whose
weight is to l53, is looked upfn as
a most promising punchfest Hicks
is known to be a tempest in his class
and the forecast is for a snappy and
exciting fight.
The special event, Speed Ball
Rogers and Jack Dundee, even
weights at 1873, and the curtain rai6er
between Bone Crusher Joe, of Doug
las, against Kid Lee, also of this
city, complete the program.

DOUGLAS PLEASES
CHAIN STORE MAN

Having concluded his pre- inventory
visit to the Douglas branch OF his
company's chain OF stores, ID S., Ball,
road manager for the Federal Cloth
ing Stores, left Douglas yesterday for
New York where he plans to pass
Christmas with his business asso-
ciates, family and friends Manager
Ball passed two days at the local
store looking after the inventory OF

cluded that work he expressed IN
most enthusiastic terms his satlstac-
ton with the last years business

"Our store has been given very
favorable patronage by the people OF
Douglas and we appreciate il" said
Ball. fFNaturally, we believe that It
reflects a belief in the minds OF the
Douglas people that we are giving
them value received for their cash

to trade. If we are correct in that

Jinx Pursues Bush

Jinx PurSueS Bush
Some sort of jinX seems to be pur-
suing DOME Bush as q big league man
ager.
Last season he won pennant for
Pittsburgh in his first year as Ma
tional League pilot. 1t was bitter
struggle to the very finish His tired
out team was no match for. the Yam
KEGS, losing four straight games.
Whining a pennant usually puts the
successful manager on the top Of the
world. Not so DOME Bush, because in
the interest of discipline he was forced
to bench a popular favorite, "Kiki''
|Cuyler, which took the edge off his
victory.
When Bush first benched Cuyler he
burned his bridges behind him. He
must win the pennant to escape the
wall of the angry mob When he failed
to use Cuyler in the world series, he
again burned his bridges, and this time
drew the fire of the fans because OF
the defeat of his team in four straight
danes.

Another Tough Break
Bush's other tough break in the role
of manager was an American League
happening. He was in charge of the
Washington club at the time. That
was in 1928.
Taking team at the start of that
season that possessed great potential
strength, Bush whipped it into shape
and surprised by finishing in the first
division. At the finish his club was
stepping as fast as any other team
in the league.
During the winter months Bush, be-
cause of difference with President
CLARK Griffith of the Washington club
was granted his release.
In quandary as to whom he would
select to take Bush's place, Griffith
as he has since admitted, as a last
resort named Stanley Harris, then an
inexperienced youngSter.
just to further upset the dope and
make Griffith look wise, Harris went
out and won two pennants' and n world
series.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-12-21

Gossip Over Trade
Regardless of who was wrong or right
in the now much discussed Cuyler epi-
sode, I do know that Bush during his
long years of service in the American
League was always a square shooter.
It certainly required the courage of
ones convictions to Sake the stand
Bush did in benching Cuyler
Once more Bush has invited criti-
cism by trading Cuyler to the Chicago
Cubs for Second Baseman Adams and
Outfielder Scott. Adams is an estab-
lished player, a very capable perform
er, while Scott's true worth is yet to
be determined.
Since the closing of the deal have
been asked a great many times as to
who got the better of the transaction.
Baseball trades are more or less of a
gamble, often later featuring decided
reversal of form.
Lloyd Waner last season proved he
could acceptebly fill Cuyler's position,
while it was an admitted fact that the
Pirates were weak at second. Regard
less of Cuyler's ability, he was of no
use to Pittsburgh. Therefore if Bush
has plugged the weak hole at second
through the passing of a player who

over to someone else to win two
pennants. Now we see Bush with

insists.

The world series over, Bush in

glory, left more or less discredited.

A RT walked more slowly after
~ he turned the corner. Only
~ 30 feet more and he would he
1 4 shut within the drug smelling
walls of the old ia shioned lit
tie shop known as FarweilS phar-
macy. a funny little store it was.
Situated in the second store from the
corner, instead of being on the cor
ner, as were the other drug stores
near by. the casual passer-by would
never have guessed it to he a drug
store save for the colored water con-
tanners that had been there these 40
years. Red and green tlanked the
left hand window, red and yellow the
right-hand window.
But from the description one need
not snatch the idea that Farwell
was merely old fashioned. He kept
abreast of the times as he himself
admitted. In current magazines he
had read that the pharmacy was no
longer a place where the main bust
ness of life was the selling of drugs
and the compromising of presCrip-
tions. The modern drug store. he
had read was a beauty shop. a cir
culating library and. in a sense,
general gift shop.
In the left-hand window, therefore.
the Farwell Pharmacy displayed
some aids to beauty. From time to
time this window display changed.
In the right hand window were vari-
out little gift items arranged in a
haphazard fashion. and, lest the un-
knowing mistake them, Farwell HIM
self had handlettered a sign:
ART OBJECTS.
Perhaps they had once been objects
of art, but the little Dresden shep-
herdess was somewhat dingy in the
folds of her voluminous skirts and
the bronze bird would have looked
less as though a violent dust storm
had come up if he had been thor
oughly scrubbed.
Art stood now surveying the win
dows. a low voice approaching came
to his ears and he heard a girls
voice: Il wish, daddy, that I could
locate some drug store nearer than
the big one down there. It's such
a long walk
How about this one right here?"
asked the fathers voice.
"Oh, that" The girls disdainful
voice held hint OF laughter. They'd
have nothing later than Victorian
cosmetics in there. Why, look at
the windows"
Art turned to look at her and
with burning cheeks she continued
her way. She was a new girl in the
neighborhood. and the first time Art
had seen her it had come to his
mind that if the shop had such Gus
toners turning now and again more
of the classy" trade would follow.
But his second and subsequent
thoughts had been of purely per-
