 Boxing Is Not Getting The Support 1t Should

Putnam fans who like to see boxing have got to come too and support the Putnam Sporing Club if they wish the sport to flourish in this city. No one who has attended the bouts can deny that the club has furnished some ex- cellent entertainments. The club management Is not finding fault. but when eight bouts, such as have been given on every card, can be seen for less than a dollar and half. it would seem that the gate would be larger.

only 8 miracle could make it vic- torious. but no campaign was ever conducted on a higher plane. The Tammany leaders had demanded that Davis name one of their men to manage his campaign, but Davis wanted a man he knew he could trust. He chose Shaver because he knew that he would then be able to sleep nights without worrying as to what his campaign manager was up to. And also because he knew that Shaver could do as we'll with the campaign as anyone else.
 Badly licked, with a heavy deficit. Shaver realized that the party or ganization had to be kept alive and that the responsibility was as much his S anyone's to keep the factions from running it in their strife. It was his complete impartiality and fairness, exercised solely with re- gard to the best interests and high est ideals of democracy, that en- abled him to take the party to Houston facing something else than general massacre.
 Today, this writer doesn't know democrat anywhere who is more en- thusiastic over the prospects of his party than Clem Shaver.

 Washington. June ce.-Politician and naturalist, Chairman Glenn Shaver of the democratic national committee is an unusual combina- tion,
 As fisherman, hunter and apostle of the outdoor life. he has been a. successful as in his role of har- monizer for his party.
 He knows the devious ways of politics and he knows the trees. plants, animale and mountains of West Virginia perhaps equally well, On his farm near Fairmont he has scores of fox hounds along with redigreed cattle and unusual poul- try. On a clear night he is likely to he with those hounds in the hills If he likes anything better it's fish ing and he is said to be the best fly fisherman in the state. They say he can cast over rocks and under branches to scare . terrapin off a rock so feet away.
 Possibly there is some connection between Shavers love of the out doors and the fact that he is known as an unusually clean politician He explained once that his chief in terest in politics was the election of good men to office. It seems likely that no cleaner man ever ran for the presidency than John w. Davis, for whom Shaver obtained the worth less democratic nomination in 1924
 One feels that Shaver looks like a West Nirginian or a kentuckian or Tennessean out to look. His hair is white and yet he has the glow Of youth. He Is thin rather than fat; his eyes are shrewd and serious. He is 61 years old. He is energetic, but never noisy; he works quietly and thus accomplishes much more than he is commonly supposed 10 accomplish. For man hardly known to the rank and file of his party. it is surprising to discover the warmth of the affection of his friends. He is kind and very human person.
 Although Shaver is now known IS 'He CildlTHldn under whom the party paid it's debts and as the man who put over the Jackson Day dinner when no one thought it could be done without havoc, and led the party out of chaos, the apparent common supposition that Davis picked an inexperienced man for reasons Of friendship as his 1924 campaign manager is far from the truth.
 Drifted Into Politics
 After he had made money at law and at trading in coal lands and had established his splendid estate, he was known as a man of parts and irifted naturally into politics. He just naturally rose because people trusted him and because of that

quiet way he has of getting things done. SucCessively he was chairman og his county democratic committee. chairman of the state committee. and democratic floor leader in the West Virginia legislature. He man aged successful senatorial and gu- hernatorial campaigns. bossed con- ventions. built up organizations and became adept at political strategies and maneuvers.
 Way back in 1918. Shaver began to promote Davis for president. land. He took up the idea with Ned Smith. editor of the l'airmont Times. After that the editorial masthead of the Times every day urged Davis for president and Sha- yer was working for the nomina- ton of Davis in 1920. Some Of Shaver's friends say he knew Davis couldn't be nominated then. but that he had his eyes on 1924 and wanted 10 get Davis be- fore the nation. Before the 1920 was over Davis had been widely discussed as compromise and had obtained enough delegates to put him ahead of the favorite son class.
 The year 1924 found Davis well thanks largely 10 Shaver. Before the convention assembled he moved quietly around asking delegates. when and if it seemed certain their favorite sons couldn't be nominated. to swing to Davis. He made no enemies and made many friends. Perhaps Shaver proved himself brilliant stratesist at that convention and perhaps not. If results count, he certainly did. He sat through the heat of battle for 100 balloots and then seized the moment to put his man over.
 Davis Picked Shaver
 Davis faced an impossible cam paisn and must have realized that
