CRITICS BLAMED
FOR RESIGNATION
OF BOXING HEAD
Illinois Chief Target for
Abuse Following Long
Tunney Count.
BY CLARK KELSEY
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENCE

\
CHICAGO, Dee. l2.-Criticism of
the Illinois boxing commission by
fighters, manager, sports experts and
the public was blamed by many OBJ
servers today for the resignation of
John G. Righeimer as chairman of
the commission.
The II second count given Gene
Tunney in his fight with Jack
Dempsey last September-strictly
legal and correct under the rules of
the Illinois boxing commission but
tnheard of sewhere-brough down
upon the commission and upon Rig
hcimcr as chairman IA storm of criti-
cism.
Righeimcr gave as he official rca.
son for rcSigning the necessity of
taking his wife to another climate
for her health.
The II second count given Tunncy
was explained under a rule of the
Illinois commission that when n
fighter is knocked down the count
GOES not begin until his opponent has
retired to neutral corner. Demp.
sey did not reach the neutral corner
?or four seconds after Tunney hit the
canvas, it was commended.
That, however, was only the last
OF series of unusual championship
affairs. The first big fight here in
which Sammy Mandell was awarded
the championship over Rocky Kan
sas caused an uproar. Many at the
iingsidc felt Kansas earned no
worse than draw.
Some time later Charley Phil Ros-
cnberg, scheduled to defend his
hantamweight title against Rud Tay-
Tor, refused to put up his forfeit UNI
til he learned the name Of the ref
cree. The fight was called off and
the championship awarded to Tay
loi.
The middleweigit championship
fight, in which Mickey Walker
arrested the title from the late Tiger
Flowers also attracted attention.
Referee Benny Yanger awarded the
decision to Walker and with it the
Championship.

PORT ARTHUR, Ont, Dee. -
The steamer Marian with its crew
still aboard, remained fast aground
on Hare Island today despite eff
forts of the freighter Glen Eagle to
float it.
The ship was not believed to be
in immediate danger.
Anxiety was felt for the tug

Wreckagc from the steamer Lamb
ton, $50 ton freighter, was found

CALEXICO AND
CR0SSM0NT TN
SC0RELESS TIE
Teams Battle For HOnOrs
On Muddy Field With
Rain Falling.

On a rain soaked gridiron Calex-
leo and Grossmont Class B High
Schools battled to a scoreless tie
in the gridiron clash for Southern
California Conference honors at
Central Union field Saturday after
noon. When the final whistle
sounded, the officials ruled against
playing off the tie in the usual five
down method, it being so dark that
players and officials had hard
time following the ball.
1t is expected that another game
will be played between the two
teams at San Diego Saturday to
decide t he Southern California
championship.
Grossmont showed considerable
strength, making IL first downs
against Calexico's eight but the
Bulldogs proved their ability to
tighten their line when occasion de-
manded and several times halted
the visitors in the shadow of the
Calexieo goal. Calexico's usual dis
play of aerial work and open play
was hopeless on the muddy field.
Grossmont kicked to Calexico to
open the game. The Covington boys
managed to crash through for one
first down but then were forced to
punt. Grossmont got the ball into
Carexico territory on the play and
throughout the first period the two
teams battled on Calexico's share of
the mud, the quarter ending with
the ball in Grossmont's possession
on the 90 yard line.
The visitors from the coast
threatened twice to score in the
second period. Soon after the quar-
ter opened line plunges by Partin
and Wilson carried the ball toward
the Calexico goal but the Bulldogs
squared off on the 18 yard line and
held Grossmont for three plays and
an attempted field goal went wild.
Calexico Line Holds
Calexico was forced to boot the
ball again and a forward pass at
tack by the visitors put them in
position to score. After Challender
and Barnett had been rushed into
the Grossmont backficld the ball
was carried to the two-yard line
where Calexico held the visitors for
downs. Calexico punted out of
danger and had regained possession
of the ball on her own 30-yard line
when the half ended.
In the third period Grossmont had
its third and last real opportunity
to score. Two forward passes were
completed by the Grossmont team
toward the close of the period and
then Wilson and Phillips began a
series of end runs. They carried the
ball to the three yard line but were
unable to penetrate further. A try
for a field goal hit an upright of
the Calexico goal posts and bound
ed back toward the field of play.
Calexico strengthened in the final
period. After several exchanges of
punts, the Calexieans sought to put
it over on a last minute drive but
the attack was halted on Gross
mont S 20-yard line. The game end
ed few minutes later with the ball
in the midfield in Calcxico S posses
sion.
The last few plays were made in
the dusk and Referee Mitchell after
confering with the coaches of the
two teams said that no effort would
be made to try to settle the contest
BY giving each team five plays, the
team advancing the ball the furth'
est getting credit for two points.
1t was announced later that the
playoff would probably be held in
San Diego next Saturday.

MAJOR LEAGUES
TO HAVE QUIET
ANNUAL MEETING
Minors May Raise Fuss
Over Dissatisfaction
With Draft Rule.
By FRANK GETTY


NEW YORK, Dee. 12.-The ans
wer of the. major leagues to the
challenge of the minors over the
unsatisfactory draft rule now in eff
feet is the one serious problem con-
fronting baseball club owners, Off
Gals and managers gathering here
today for the annual winter meet
ings.
Otherwise smiles of contentment
were in order on the familiar faces
of the baseball men who came drift
ing into town to join the buzzing,
hand shaking, baekslapping groups
in the hotel Hobbies.
The steering committee of the two
leagues-which only few seasons
ago was called into action to chart
a course in the troublesome times of
the Landis-J ohnson feud-went into
a somewhat superfluous session to-
day. There seemed to be smooth
sailing ahead.
The National League has its meet
ing Tuesday, the American League
on Wednesday and there will be a
joint meeting Thursday.
Some of the matters which will
be discussed, without likelihood of
any serious agreement, are:
l--Establishment of "disablcd
list' of players who are rendered
hors de combat for 60 playing days
or more.
2--The recommendation of the ex-
ecutiye council for adoption of a
rule to prevent an owner, manager
or player from holding stock in any
ball club not his own.
3-The three umpire system.
4-The Matty memorial.
Barnard To Get Welcome
The American League is prepar-
ing to give Ed Barnard of Cleveland
a royal send-off as its president.
John Heydler, fixture in that
berth in the National League, has
ready report to the effect that all
attendance records were broken in
1927.
Like small bad boys playing tick
tack on the window when their eld-
ers are in conference, the minor
league baseball folk will be on the
outskirts, tossing inaudible hints
about this business of the draft.
Five minor leagues announced at
Dallas they would refuse to allow
any more of their players to be
drafted.
Other clubs joined in complaining
that they were being drained con-
stantly Of all their good baseball
material through an unfair draft
rule.
The reply of the major league
clubs is, of course, that the minor
league owners brought the trouble
upon their own heads through exorb-
liant demands which sent the ivory
market soaring.

BraCing Up a Condemned Building
The two-story brick building on
Main street, belonging to the Ben
ringer estate, has been braced up
since it was condemned by the city
council. The brick building was safe
enough until Richard Jockeys frame
structure, that supported it, was de-
molished.
The estate should bring suit for
damages against Jockey for tearing
down the building; against the city
council for condemning it as a nuis-
ance after it had been disfigured by
fire, and against the i~ncendiary who
set the building on fire.
We are not quite certain either that
an action could not be maintained
against the Bozeman fire department
for not %suppressing the flames before
they made such Roadway as to ren-
der the total destruction of the build
ing necessary.

BIG STRIKE AT CHESTNUT
THE BONANZA /
UNCOVERED

Johnson and Mccarthy Have a Twen-
ty-twO Foot Vein of Coal in Their
New Tunnel on the Chestnut COal
Property. Intelligence and Labor
Rewarded.
Last year Johnson and Mccarthy
secured a renewal of their lease of
the Bozeman Coal company's proper
ties at Chestnut, and with an idea to
work the mines more intelligently
and economically started a tunnel
into the hill near the railroad track.
Careful surveys were made and it
was estimated that they would strike
the veins about 300 feet below the
present workings when their tunnel
was in about $50 feet. They drove
500 feet before they found any indi-
cation of coal. Here they had a mar
row seam, too narrow and poor to
pay for working. They drove further
but were compelled to quit without
any indications of what they were
after.
They renewed work at the old tun-
nels and when they had recovered
themselves financially they prepared
to continue work in the new tunnel,
and to drive it clear through to the
original workings of Colonel Chestnut,
if necessary. On Wednesday, when
in about $50 feet, they struck a vein
of coal % feet in thickness and OF
! excellent quality throughout. 1t is
believed that this is the same as the
Bonanza vein at Timberline, a vein
that has never been found heretofore
this side of that coal camp.
The mine being only eight or nine
miles from Bozeman and AUDITING

tage, in the matter of transportation
at least, of any and all other owner:
