this IS POOR
YEAR FOR CHAMPS
Surprising Number Of Upsets
Among Leaders

New York, July l (UP)-Colum-
bias surprising victory in the inter
collegiate rowing championships at
Poughkeepsie, coming after an IN
expected string of early season up
sets. contributed more evidence that
this is poor year for champions
and big stars.
Bobby Jones lost his American
open championship with a display
of anything but good golf and the
odds are against him when he de-
tends his title In the British open
tournament. With more practice he
may be in better form but the law
of averages, ut least, will be against
him.
Mrs. Molla Mallory, the American
tennis champion was defeated at
Vim bledon by Betty Nuthall, the
child wonder Of the British courts
and Mrs. kathlene McKane God
free, the British champion was also
beaten.
Bill Tilden, former world cham
pion, failed in his attempted come
back in Paris and Wimbledon and
his failure to reach his old time
form puts the Davis cup In jeopar-
dy.
Yale lost the first boat race to
Harvard in six years and was also
beaten by Princeton. Washington.
a rowing power OF similar rating in
the far west was beaten by Califor-
MIA in the Pacific coast champion
race and was second to Columbia at
Poughkeepsie. The navy. which
had been a we'll played favorite all
season also had a heavy fall by fin
ishing a very poor fourth in the big
championship.
Southern California. which had
been dominating the inter collegiate
track and field also was bumped
when Stanford won the title but the
coast still has a claim to merit in
the possession OF the track cham
pions and the second and third
crews.
With all those upsets, sports fol-
lowers are beginning to wonder If
Gene Tunney is on the way out Of
the heavyweight championship. For
some reason that Is hard to explain,
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1927-07-01

Tunney never has been a highly re-
garded champion.
His victory in Philadelphia last
year was attributed to the belief
that he wasn't so good and that
Dempsey was terrible.
Dempsey and Sharkey are now
training for fight that is expected
TO make the winner a logical chal-
lenger for a championship match
later in the season. If the winner
should make great fight, especial
ly Sharkey. Tunney might go into
the ring with the odds against him.
While Tex Richard insists that
the public will pay a million dol
lars to see Dempsey and Sharkey
and later will contribute two mil
lions for the champion fight. il
would not be a shocking surprise If
the cham pionship match was held
over until next year.
Money has been tight all season.
Promoters all have been losing
money-or not making as much as
they should and Richard is on the

OFFICIALS HAPPY
At bYRD'S SAFETY
Congratulatory Messages Sent
Out by Dept. Heads

Washington, July l R0Long
hours Of tragic waiting, tinzed with
the spectre Of diaster, by official
Washington gave way today to I'M
restrained JOY and relief with the
word that Commander Richard E.
Byrd and his transatlantic aviators
We're safe in France.
The nations chief executive,
President Coolidge at his summer
White House in the Black Hills of
South Dakota. exhibited his ex-
treme anxiety over the f1ier's safety.
He instructed his secretary. Everett
Sanders, to receive word OF the
light from the Washington bureau
of the Associated Press and as soon
as definite word OF the safety Of
Byrd and his companions was re-
ceived the Associated Press advised
Mr.. Sanders at Rapid City over long
distance telephone.
The relief over the aviators'
safety was tinged with disappoint-
nent that their huge monoplane
America had been forced down. But
high navy officials, including Secre-
tary Wilbur and Rear Admiral Moi
felt, chief Of navy aeronautics, who
had remained awake to receive the
reports from the Associated Press,
felt that the safety Of the naval
aviator and his companions over
Swallowed everything else.
Commander Byrd's dash over the
Atlantic through the fog and rain
was considered to dem onstrate the
effectiveness OF the aeroplane ana
trans-oceanic flights even though he
failed to reach his objective.
It was proud day for Uncle
Sans service today. The army was
still exultant over the Hawaiian
flight, while the navy rejoiced in her
protege. Commander Byrd, who had
added to its and his own glorious
aviation achievement OF the North
Pole conquest last summer by the,
trans-oceanic flight, his swimming
ashore after his plane had fallen
into the sea too was regarded as an
exhibition of his courage.
The scientific value of the h'sh'
possessed the greatest interest TOT
the officials, 1t was evidenced IN
their congratulatory message 70
Commander Byrd and his COM
panions. President Coolidge, secre-
tarv of State Kellogg. Secretary OF
War Davis. and Byrd's own chief
Secretary Wilbur Of the navy, all
stressed this point

CHECK FORGER

Sheriff Sam Gay Brings
Back Robert Dean on Bad
Check Charge. Hearing
Will Take Place Monday.

Sheriff Sam Gay made a hurried
trip to Needles early this week
to get Robert Dean. Sheriff Gay
went armed with warrants and an
application for extradition papers,
consequently saving the county
considerable money.
Dean, who has been associated
with a man by the name of Locke,
in various proposed enterprises,
wrote out a check for $53.94, pay
able to the White Front Service
in payment for tires and
tubes. C. Z. Bowler, manager of
the service station, was unable to
collect from the First State Bank
with the help of the Sheriff 8
and at once began to trace Dean
office.
Dean was located sixteen miles
be bw Needles and Sheriff Gay
went afte~ him and had him ar
rested by the Needles officers. In
the face of the prepared applica-
tion for extradition Dean said,
Whats the use?" and accom-
panied Sheriff Gay back to this
city.
AT his preliminary hearing on a
felony charge, Dean asked For
time to get an attorney. This was
granted and the hearing will be
continued Monday morning at ten
O'Clock.

more difficult than expected. In
stead of requiring timbering for
only /, 500 feet, the railroad tun-
mel required timbering for between
31h and miles. Indeed, so great
was the pressure encountered that
for hundreds of feet an inverted
arch of great steel beams set in
concrete feet thick, was requir-
ID to keep the bottom OF the tun-
mel from rising. This form OF
construction was carried up the
sides and ever the roof of the tun-
mel for hundreds of feet at cost
approximating $1,000 per foot Of
tunnel.
In other portions of the tunnel
where the ground was not quite
so unstable, great timbers 16 by
"A inches in size and set 20 inches
apart were crushed and broken by
the tremendous pressure so that
1t was necessary to put in addi-
tional timDers making a practical
ly solid wall OF Oregon fir "a
inches thick. About $4,000, 900
feet Of lumber costing $4,000 per
thousand feet was required.
Because of this added expense,
the cost OF the work, estimated
at $4,000, 900, was increased and
will be approximately $4,000. 900.
The engineering work was car
ned out with wonderful precision.
The tunnels are over six miles in
length and work was prosecuted
from both ends. The water tun.
mel was holed through February
IL, 1927, at a point 3.5 miles from
the east portal and 2.6 miles
from the west portal, the west
side being slower because of the
character of the rock. The sur
yeyors' line was found to check
within one tenth OF a foot; the
grade Within three tenths of a
foot and the distance within 1.74
feet.
The railroad tunnel was holed
through recently and the entire
work will be finish, 4 within six
months It Is believed.
