TITLE
At STAKE

CHICAGO. June 2s.-A dispute Of
long standing may be settled when
Bud Taylor. Of Terre Hauts. Ind,
recognized by q majority of States
as the bantamweight champion of
the world, and Tony CAnzonerf, of
New York. outstanding challenger,
come together in the ten-round
"piece de resistance" of Jim
Mullen's outdoor show at Cubs
Park tonight.
Long before Canxoneri was
heard Of there was much dis
pute over TaylOr's claim to the
title.
It was a gift TO Bud from the
Illinois Boxing Commission after
Charley eHPhil'0 Rosenberg, then
the recognized champion, allegedly
defaulted in certain provisions of q
scheduled championship tilt here
with Taylor.
Then along came Tony, who had
been bowling them over with regu-
larity in the East. He was matched
with Taylor. The fight was bally-
booed as a championship affair, and
was expected to settle, for the pres
ent at least. the question of SUI
premacy among the bantams.' Mullen
staged it here several months ago.
But Taylor and Canzoneri fought a
draw. which left the matter just
where it was.

same time he must be thinking
bit.
The Griffs are still running along
behind the AS, seemingly being
loath to overtake them. They
came close to losing Lizzie Lisin-
bees game for him and went all
to pieces when General Crowder
blew up in the second game. 1t
is a question If Crowder wasn't
steadier than his team. Lisenbee
won his fourth straight victory
and his ninth out Of IL for the
season by keeping cool when all
his mates were running in circles.

er evidently lost their heads en-
tirely when the Mackmen threat

freshing to see the young pitcher
standing calmly in the box, watt
ing for his teammates to settle
down to business. Lizzie won, 4
to 2. holding the AS to six scat
tered hits.
The nervousness shown In
the first game boiled and bub-
bled in the second clash and
ruined Bob Burke's chance Of
looking good. At that only
one run was earned off him.
He didn't look as bad as his sup
porting cast. Harris, West and
Reeves elaborated in manufacture

young southpaw's expense. Crowder
had nothing to begin with. yet he
was kept in until all possible hope

English Witch Balls
Attract Collectors

LONDON (R-Old English witch
balls and tear glasses are among the
curious collection quests of the mo-
ment
In appearance the witch balls are
huge editions of the silver, golden and
blue glass balls seen on Christmas
trees. Formerly they we're hung from
the beams on old English cottages and
inside above the entrance door as mas
cots to ward off the entry of evil
spirits.
Most of them we're allowed to re-
main undusted for many decades so
that the surfaces of genuine balls are
rough to the touch They are also
quite heavy.
Tear glasses are glasses with a
human ''tear" apparently imprisoned
in the stem. The "tear" merely is a
hollow and originally was produced by
flaw in the glass from air which
remained in the glass. The curious
defect, however, was developed into an
ornament because of it's pathetic at
tractiveness.

AUSTRIA Halls HER COUNTRYNlAN

VIENNA, Austria (49-A committee
has been formed in Vienna under the
patronage of President Hainisch of
the Austrian republic to collect funds
for memorial to the Austrian engi-
neer, Siegfried Marcus, who in 1864
constructed the first known petrol
automobile.
Marcus completed in 1865. his first
model that actually ran and often
thereafter took his friends for rides
to the suburban parade ground called
the Schmelz. Marcus replaced his first
rather primitive model in 1875 with
his model No. 2, which incorporated
many advantages of the modern car,
though none of its graces. This We
hicle enabled the inventor and his
friends to make excursions as far as
KloSterneuberg, a distance of Is miles
from Vienna.
The French some years later claimed
priority for a car constructed by Le-
noir, but the latter's vehicle was pro-
PEELED by carbureted hydrogen and
was soon abandoned In 1879, or IA

BIGGER SUPPLY
OF COFFEE FROM
BRAZIL; REPORT

RIO DE JANEIRO Up = Railroads
and highways built through the sec
ton bordering the Parana river valley
in the state of Sac Paulo have in
less than a decade opened to culti-
vation a fertile area believed to be
capable of producing yearly an amount
of coffee nearly twice as great as the
worlds present visible supply.
The region, larger in area than all
Belgium, lies in the valleys of the
Paranapanema and Parana rivers and
their tributaries, Nthe Itarare, CinzaS,
Tibagy, Pirapo and Ivahy rivers, it
was learned at the American con-
sUlate here.
Coffee culture now is limited to the
district between the Itarare and La
ranginha rivers, an area of about 7500
square kilometerS, but it is estimated
that this section alone is capable of
accommodating 3O0,OOO,00O coffee trees
and producing 10,000,000 bags yearly.
The worlds visible supply has not
since 1914 exceeded that amount and
during the present year has ranged
less than 100000 bags.
Coffee production has increased in
this area from virtually none a decade
ago to 157,846 bags last year, the crop
being valued at $3,5OO,OOO, with about
100000 accruing to the state as ex-
port taxes. The section already has
a real estate boom, land
which few years ago sold for 30
cents an acre now bringing 81 to $40.

NAMES IN NEWSPAPERS

LONDON (R)-Sir Ernest Benn, pub

1nunistic talk has been adopted by
many fashionable young men and

that means of becoming known?"
Sir Ernest said present-day politics
are founded on pessimism. Political
parties are all engaged in seeking for
trouble and wrong whicn may or may
not exist, and then in applying quack
remedies which accer1tuate the sup

ANCIENT TALES OF BURIED GOLD
ATTRACT TREASURE HUNTERS TO
CREEKS and CAVES OF TEXAS

SAN ANTONIO, Texas Rl-The lure
that drew Coronado to the southwest
still moves men to search for buried
gold in Texas. There are more treas
ure hunters in the state today than
when the SpaniardS searched for the
seven cities of Cibola.
Police have been called lately to
curb the activities Of two sets OF
treasure hunters here. One group was
captured in a cave on farm one
night as they were preparing to Gig
for buried gold. They promised to
stay off the rancher's land.
Another and more mysterious group
has eluded detectives. Four armed
men have been digging at night for
some time along Menger creek, and
all investigators have been scared
away by gunshotS Detectives who
went to the scene one night found
hole 70 feet deep, with tunnels
driven out in many directions. Wien
they returned with ropes and ladders,
the hole had been filled, but prepafa
tions had been made to dig at
nearby spot. The men are believed
to be seeking treasure which legend
says missionaries buried long ago.
Probably no state in the union has
as many legends Of buried wealth as
Texas. The conquistadors came In
search of wealth, and their quest
gave rise to a cycle Of legends con
cerning Indian treasure houses. The
conquistadores brought the mission
aries, who accumulated some wealth
which they are supposed to have
buried in times Of trouble.
Jean LATTE, pirate, who made his
headquarters on Galveston Island, is
supposed to have buried q Shipi0au
of treasure when the government
drove him away from the coast, and
this legend has inspired hundreds of
treasure seekers.
In later years, legend has it, many
prospectorS discovered silver, gold and
lead mines For some reason they
always died without revealing the
secret of their finds, and their lost
mines are objects of numerous search
ers. Many Of them are supposed to
have buried their ore when beset BY
Indians while returning 20 civi1iza-
ton, and the alleged caches have
been the objects Of many treasure
hunts.
When the Mexican army was driven
out of Texas, tales say, it's retreat
was SO precipitous that several treas-
ure chests and silver services we're
buried. They have never been found.
James Bowie, who died in the Alamo,
is supposed to have found the most
famous mine.
The final cycle of legends clusters
about the exploits Of early day "Dad
men," who are reputed TO have buried
much of their loot. 'fsI
Almost every county in the state
has at least one fully Matched legend
of buried treasure.
