Like Sharkey's Chances Best

"Sharkey is a cocky, aggressive
fellow, while Maloney is just the
opposite" was the way we'll known
Boston manager put it.
I'm two meetings between them,
Sharkey has had a decided edge.
He recalls it with boast, while
NIaloney also seems to remember
it rather vividly.
"Sharkey thinks he is the greatest
fighter in the world Maloney is
a much better fighter than he thinks
he, is. 1t has taken much persuasive
talk on the part of Maloney's man
ager to impress it on him."
On all sides I heard Sharkey's
courage commended and while no
one accused Maloney of lacking
"guts," still the inference that one
would naturally get from the con-
versation was that Sharkey would
carry on farther than Maloney if
hard pressed.

Boston Famous in Ring Circles

bOSCOH rdH1OuS III hAuS OIrCAcS
Umpiring in Boston while the
national amateur ring championships
were being staged, made it a
point to take in the battles between
the simon-pures and saw some great
milling.
Around the ringside I bumped
into many of the leading fistic
characters of New England. This
section, by the way, has always been
noted for the classy ringmen it
turns out. Il
At present Red Chapman, Honey
Boy Finnegan, Johnny Vacca and
AL Mello are just a few of the
prominent title contenders in the
various classes.
1t struck me that a canvass of the
opinion of the fight experts who
were familiar with the ability of
Maloney and Sharkey would be of
more than passing interest.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-05-10

The impression seems to be
that Sharkey has Maloney's
number. In other words, Maloney
is made to order for Sharkey
for many reasons, one of which
deals with psychology.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-05-10

So if you are willing to take
the opinion of the home town
folks in Boston, Jim Maloney
is in for a trimming when he
clashes with Jack Sharkey.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-05-10

I found the Sharkey supporters
far outnumbered those who believe
Maloney had a chance.

Contenders for Tunney,s Title

Will Jim Maloney or Jack Sharkey
get a chance at Gene Tunneys s
crown?
These two Boston heavyweights
are now rated among the leading
contenders for the heavyweight
championship
They are to meet in New York
May 10Th, in one of the many
heavyweight eliminations that Tex
Rickard is staging. One of them
is certain to go into the discard.
Jim Maloney by his surprise victory
over the colorful Jack Delaney, has
won for himself a large following
over the country. But what about
the home town folks and their
opinion?

Knockout Of Roberts Unusual


Also got new slant on the knock
out of Eddie Roberts by Al Mello
which was one of the big surprises
of the year.
Mello is one of those unorthodox
fighters who sticks the right hand
out instead of the left. He does
much of his dangerous punching
with a left hook or swing, while he
jabs his opponent into position with
tantalizing right.
According to ringsiders, Roberts
was the victim of a most peculiar
punch. Meeting in the center of
the ring, Mello cut loose with a
left swing that landed high on the
chest. Roberts turned in such a
way that the punch, instead of
landing solidly, slipped upward and
the real contact was on Roberts
throat. The impact practically cut
off his power to breathe and I am
told he fell forward on his face
for one of the freakiest knockouts
ever seen in this section.
Those not in a position to
see where the full force of the
blow landed thought Roberts
was taking dive, yet he was
badly hurt.

I45 Million Board
Feet of Lumber rs
Harvested In State

From the forests Of Arizona in 1926
there was harvested by 81 sawmills
145, 100000 board feet OF timber,
according to census figures compiled
by the forest service.
This is an increase of 90 per cent
over 1924. The timber was cut
largely from virgin. stands where the
new timber growth is about offset by
the decay of the old trees. Proper
cutting Of the old trees, says the re-
port, is good forestry as it permits
the removal Of nature, diseased, de-
fective and otherwise undesirable
trees, leaving the young, fast-grow-
ing trees for the future crop The
removal Of the ripe timber from a
properly managed forest should also
greatly increase the future growth Of
the remaining timber as it opens up
the stand permitting more sunlight
to enter and release the soil fertility
that would have been consumed by
the mature trees for the new growth
According to the growth figures
collected by the Southwestern Forest
experiment station near Flagstaff on
such trees growth may be expected at
the rate Of IL per cent year On
this basis a cutover area containing a
stand Of $500 feet per acre would
produce SO board feet of lumber
annually and if larger volume is
left the growth would be commensur-
ately larger amounting to as much
as 100 to $50 feet a year. By hand
ling timber producing lands in this
manner it is possible to reap the
benefit Of the lumber produced from
the over-mature timber and still leave
the young fast-growing trees for the
next crop. While if the timber is.
clean cut on land which is chiefly
valuable for growing timber it will.
remain non-productive until re-
planted. Furthermore, where there.
IS a good stand OF seed trees left on.
the ground many of the present
vacant stands will be filled By
natural reseeding. 1t is the opinion
Of foresters generally that BY the
means of proper harvesting practices
virgin timber stands, can be material
~ increased in density Of stand and
the quality Of timber grown.

MUTE HIT BY FREIGHT
TRAIN LOSES RIGHT ARM

At four-five Friday morning Eddie

by a freight in the Kingman yards
and suffered the loss Of his right
arm and also severe bruises about
his head and bad decorations on his
legs. As vet, the exact extent of
his injuries have not been determined
but internal injury may have been
received, which will make his re-
covery very doubtful The young
fellow is mute, who with another
lad about his age, also a mute, has
been seen about Kingman for several
days. Santa Fe attaches report that
at the time Of the accident the in
iured boy was under the influence Of
Intoxicating liquors and had been
creating a disturbance in the Harvey
house just before the accident.
Whether he was attempting to hop
the freight or not has not been
learned. He is under the care of

so Foot FLltnae SUept
Out By Flood Waters

Chino Valley farmers suffered a
damage of between $500 and $500
from the recent heavy rains when a
section Of concrete and tile flume
which carries irrigation water from
Lake Watson lake across Willow creek
was washed out. This information
was given out by Guy Hobgood, Of
Prescott, county agricultural agent of
Yavapai county, who made trip to
that place.
Overflow from Lake Watson caused
a delug,e Of water to pour down Will
low creek. At its height the water
caught. the flulne and washed out
about so feet of it.
Up what is known as Bottle Neck
draw, the farmers of Chino Valley
had built an earth dam which ira-
pounded approximately 1000 acre
feet Of water. At the peak of the
storm, the waters from this dam were
turned out because Of the fear that ii
would break and do considerable dam
age to the railroad tracks farther
down the valley.

A Birdseye View of
Flagstaff

tions to the above are these:
(a) Whether the roads are open or
closed, this is the dead season for any
northern, mountain route.
(b) Travel in winter over the Old
Trails is influenced more than Flag
staffians realize by the possibility of
getting to Grand Canyon and Grand
Canyon has been closed, or practically
so, ever since midi December.
(c) If there is any greater activity
aaginst Flagstaff to the east, it comes
from Springerville sources rather
than from albuquerque.
(d) The Albuquerque Chamber Of
Commerce is seeking the aid of Flag
staff and other Old Trails towns in
getting action on the Isleta-Laguna
cutoff, and viii cooperate in any
such action.
(e) | doubt if the effect Of such adj
vcrtising as the local chamber can af-
ford would justify the outlay.
Last, but certainly not least, hon
estly believe Flagstaff's own prema-
ture Writer SPORTS program, propa-
ganda and advertising has done more
than any other thing to cause any un-
usual loss of winter motor travel. IN
other words, the local chamber has
been playing the other fellows game
and shouting from the housetops the
very thing they blame the other fell
low for saying. To the easterner, ig-
norant of our peculiar climatic con-
ditions, organized winter sports can
only take place in country like that
of Lake Placid, where the roads are
buried deep in snow months on end.
He can't yet conceive of open roads
and snow-shoeing conditions in the
same breath. Much OF the same is
true of people in the middle west and
south. If they don't personally want
to play at winter sports they are GO
ing to give a wide berth to the coun-
try that advertises such things-and
only tells half the picture. Most of
'em have left behind all the snow
they want to see and, on a long
through motor trip, are going to
shove far south of q place that adj
vertises the stuff as a speciality.
I do not for a moment mean that
the time will not come when Flagstaff
can make big play on the winter
sport feature. But do feel that that
time is a year or two in advance,
when roads are more highly improved,
the Lees Ferry bridge in and func-
tioning and correct knowledge of the
southwest's peculiar climatic condi-
tions more widely disseminated
Had only few hundred questions
to ask you but they'll keep for cou-
pie weeks, with a few dozen more
that'll grow in the meantime.
Very sincerely,
ROGER w. BIRDSEYE.
