SAYS AMERICA NEEDS
CULTURE ALIENS HAVE.
Chairman Of Citizenship Group Of
General Federation of Women's
Clubs Gives Views.

While great organizations have been
Americanizing aliens, too little atten-
ton has been paid to the preparation
of Americans to receive the cultural
contributions which immigrants can
make to them, believes Mrs. William
r. Alvord of Detroit. Mrs. Alvord
is chairman of the department of
American citizenship Of the General
Federation of Women's Clubs.
II would not belittle the valuable
Americanzation work done by clubs
throughout the country" she ex-
plains, but I do think that, in our
eagerness to make all foreign born
into Americans like ourselves, we have
overlooked the responsibility of the
community to prepare itself to receive
these newcomers.
"The present restricted immigration
laws give us opportunity to take stock
of our methods. and the first thing
we need to do is to see the foreign
born as individuals and not en- masse.
We native born are not all equally
cultured, equally talented. equally
we'll born. Neither are the foreign
born. Many of the strangers coming
to our shores now have a cultural
contribution to make to the COM
munity: we should prepare ourselves
to receive it. Nothing will go further

SPEED DEMONS
ALL HERE FOR
RACES SUNDAY

Chester and Ray Gardner, the two
remaining out of town drivers en-
tered in Sundays speed events,
reached the city yesterday after
room. This completed the entry list
cf nine drivers scheduled to face
the starter in the Sunday races.
Chester Gardner, it will be remem-
t4red, is the boy who gave the Miller
Special such hard run the last
races held in Douglas. He also holds
the local track record for modified
stock cars, the time being 47.1 sec
onds for the mile. His best recon-
mendation, however, is the fact that
he is the third member of Albu-
querque's Flying Wedge"
Ray Gardner also competed in our
last race but motor trouble elimln-
ated him from the money winners.
He states, however, that just be-
fore leaving home he had the
'Missus" clear off a space on the
mantel for the Bisbee trophy.
This eomplicates matters consider
ably as it is understood Chuck An
derson was inquiring of a local
jeweIry firm today regarding prices
on engraving, while A. J. Walker is
said to have made an appointment
with TWINS studio to take some
photos of himself and the trophy
Immediately after the finish of the
trophy Grace.
While these three drivers are each
confident of winning the trophy
there are six other perfectly good
arguments to the contrary consisting
of Randolph, Bryan, Moon, Renteria,
Harper and Cester Gardner.
Several of the drivers tried out
the local track yesterday and the
rublic is invited to witness today's
final tryout.

Maloney, Sharkey Bout
Strikes Snag; Boston
Promoter Has Claim

BOSTON, April Is H9.--The bout be-
tween Jim Maloney and Jack Sharkey,
Boston heavyweights, scheduled to be
fought in New York early next month,
is threatened with postponement, it be-
came known today, through the action
of a Boston promoter Tom Goodwin,
the promoter, holds Maloney's signed
contract for meeting with Tom Hee-
ney of Austrial and today announced
that he would insist that Maloney take
on Heeney before engaging Sharkey.
The Massachusetts boxing commission
has upheld Goodwin's claim on Ma
loney's services, ruling that the con-
tract is valid. The commission, how
ever, has reserved action until Mon
day Meantime Goodwin and Dan Car
roll manager of Maloney, were urged
to iron out their differences. The
Massachusetts, commission has work
ing agreement with the New York
body and should Maloney be barred in
this state the ruling would affect him
in New York also.
Goodwin is the second promoter who
has urged prior claims to Maloneys
services over Tex Rickard, sponsor Of
the New York bout. Promoter Taylor,
of Cleveland, Ohio, has announced
that he will force Maloney to go
through with his fight with Johnny
Risko, Cleveland battler, in that city.
Goodwin sa idhe had notified Rickard
that he would not consider cash
settlement, as was reported in the
Taylor -Rickard dispute.

June 20 in Tex Richards heavyweight
elimination series.
The latest tangle may force Rickard
to cut short his Florida vacation and
hurry home to officiate himself at the
penmanship exercises, for it was dis
covered today that Jess McMahon,
matchmaker at Madison Square Gar
den, holds no similar power at the
Yankee stadium. Although Rickard
acts as promoter for both, Mcmahon is
