attracting especial interest of the
archaeologists, since no object Of
this sort has heretofore been found
with this ancient tribe.
Scattered in the grave, their
string long since decayod, lay 1900
tiny red and blue-black beads and
a small shell pendant. A little bone
ring was another toy or ornament.
The Minbres Valley people are
among the least understood of the
early inhabitants of North America.
DR.. jerks and his expedition have
spent six weeks eXcavating fifty
rooms among the ruins Of their
houses and unearthing old burials
in order to find new clews to their
place in American prehistory.
"The NIinbres people are believed
to have abandoned their dwelling
sites somewhere about coo A. d."
DR.. jerks states. "Their occupation
of the sites probably goes back to
1000 B. c. They have no known
descendants"
One mystery of the NIinbrenos is
how a people who must have had
fairly crude manner of living
could have produced such beautiful
and artistic pottery designs. Another
mystery is how and why this art
so completely disappeared.
"The designs on the NIimbres pots
far surpass the work of any other
Indians of either prehistoric OF
modern times" the anthropologist
declares.

FIND SKELETON
OF PREHISTORIC
AMERICAN BOY
Discovery Sheds New Light
on Little Known Tribe
of AborigineS.
By NEA ScrUice


HURLEY, N. M, Sept. THE
little skeleton of a prehistoric Amer
ican child, still adorned with all its
tiny bracelets and trinkets, is one
of the outstanding discoveries of the
archaeological expedition to the
Mimbres Valley sent out by the
Minneapolis Institute of Arts and
the Santa Fe Museum.
Out of 157 burials found by the
expedition, this grave contained the
largest number of articles, it is an
nounced by DR.. Albert E. jerks,
anthropologist of the University of
Minnesota, and leader of the expe-
dition.
Apparently, this child was much
lamented and was laid away with
great care. Following the custom of
these aborigines, the child's head
was covered with a beautiful pottery
bowl, decorated with a SUI n. One
arm still wore seven lie shell
bracelets and near the knees we're
eight shell thinkers.

DEMPSEY SEEN
AS ONLY BOXER
TO MEET TUNNEY

NEW YORK, March 2 (P)-From the
way the heavyweight elimination tour
nament has been coming or going the
assembled experts have about reached
the conclusion that Tex Rickard can
call it off and send out his emergency
call for Jack Dempsey.
The oftener the present crop of con-
tenders or near -contenders is witnessed
in action the more convincing it is that
the old Manassa Mauler is the only
challenger for Gene Tunney's crowd
who can stand the test and also pack
'em in.
The feeling seems to be that RicbArd,
by an adequate amount of persuasion,
can convince Dempsey it will be all for
the best for him to return for a third
battle with Gentleman Gene. Most
observers, as matter of fact, have felt
right along that Manassa Jack did not
altogether mean it much when he
broadcast the idea of his retirement,
Now that Dempsey has decided to
feel himself out with a little prelimin-
ary training there is even less reason
to doubt that he will listen to finan-
cial reason and fight Tunney lagain.
But it takes time and gradual pro-
cess. It would never do, from the
viewpoint of an expert ballyhoo, to
have dempsey decide definitely on a
return bout now. It would leave the
debaters without anything to debate.

MARATHON FROM
COAST TO COAST
STARTS SUNDAY

LOS ANGELES, March 2 P)-Light
sains during the afternoon resulted in
an official ultimatum being made to-
night that the S-continental
"hoofing" derby will start from here
Sunday rain or shine.
Due to the fact that controls have
been established all along the way,
there will be no postponement of the
start, regardless of weather conditions
Sunday, was the declaration of G. c..
Pyle; promoter of the race, in which
prizes totaling $4,000 will be at stake.
It is probable that the runners and
walkers will encounter plenty of rain
and cold weather during the jaunt
across country to New York. The
welther man, however, has promised
clearing skies for tomorrow and
chances are that the "hoofers" will
get away in burst of sunshine.
There are plenty of favorites being
picked locally, but even the man who
should know the most about the en-
trants-Hugo EQuist; who accompanied
Paavo Nurmi on his American tour
! refuses to make prediction as to the
probable winner. Quist went to Europe
for Pyle and signed up some OF the
greatest runners of foreign countries.
I However, Quist believes that a
straight walker-that is a man who
attempts to walk the entire distance
to New York; there are many such
walkers entered-will not win the race.
1t will take combination of walking
and running, he said.
Quist looks for Juri Lossman, who
is entered from the Republic of Es-
thonia, to make an exceptionally
strong showing in the race. LossnIan
is SO years old and is primarily rum
ner not a walker.

FREED
FROM SWINDLE
in Los ANGELES

LOS ANGELES, March 2 P)-The
prosecution of Joe Dundee, welter-
weight champion, his manager and a
fight promoter over the Dundee-Hud-
kins fight of last November that did
not come off suddenly blew up here
today and Dundee ct al walked from
the courtroom exonerated.
The Welter king, Max WaXman, his
manager, and Dick Donald, the pre-
moter who started things simmering
for last November's fistic brawl that
never came to head, were in the dock
on charges of false advertising for 3
pugilistic show that failed to mate

not forthcoming.
Clare Eberhard of the city prose-
cutor's office discovered in the midst
of evidence taking that he could loT
connect IN advertisement for the fight
with Donald and asked the court to
instruct the jury to, return verdict
of not guilty.
The court did so, but not without
adding some cauStic remarks on the
conduct of the case. The jury was Out

verdict of acquittal

The three big heavyweight fights OF
the winter so lar all have been incon-
elusive. There has been little or moth
ing to arouse excitement in the close
decision of Heeney over Delaney, God
frey over Paolino and the Heeney-
Sharkey draw.
Their chief development has been tc
prove that Heeney, the New zealander
and Paolino, the Spanish Basque, have
two of the most durable chins in the
prize rings.
In a day when the tinkling of the
glass jaws has been echoing in most
arenas it is unusual to have two such
ironclad chins as those of the wood
chopper and the Anzac.
Harry Wills, Godfrey, Hansen,
Heeney, Delaney and Risko all have
bounced their heaviest punches off
Paolino's jaw without disturbing the
Spaniard, much less upsetting him.
Heeney has taken the stiffest jolts
of Sharkey, Delaney, Paolino and Risko
without blinking or losing his equili-
brium
1t takes more than durability and
constant plugging in the ring, how
ever, to make a logical contender
Paolino is a less effective ring strateg-
list than Heeney. but he packs the stiff
er punch and is also a more colorful
performer.
With Ty Cobb back in the fold the
Athletics will boast one of the heaviest
hitting outfield arrays in either big
league
Connie Mack may pick his regulars
from a quartet that averaged altogether
betteAthhn $50 in the American league
last year. AL Simmons topped the list
with 1892, Cobb had a mark OF .357,

The dannonading also will reverber-
ate when such combinations swing into
action as the Cuyler-Steph ephenson-Wil-
son trio of the Cubs, the Waners and
Barnhart of the Pirates, and the Ruth
Neusel-C Combs array of the Yankees

.HEENEY WON'T DO
AS CHALLENGER
SAYS RICHARD

NEW YORK, March 2 R)--Putting
new twist to the French slogan, Tex
Rickard set out today to "Cherchez
L'Homme" "a his discouraging quest
for a challenger to flce Gene Tunney
in heavyweight title combat here next
June.
"I'm still looking for the man to
fight the champion" he said These
elimination tournaments merely get
more complicated as they go along.
Tom Heeney certainly won't do on the
showing he made in beating Jack De-
laney nst night. Perhaps there will
be a spectacular winner to the Jack
Sharkey Johnny Risko match March
IL. Right now you know as much
about who'll fight Tunney in June as
I do. think all the contenders are
terrible" -.
Along with this frank admission came
Richards open hvowal that he wants
Jack Dempsey back in the fight pic
ture again. Despite the former CHAM
pion's denial that he will start light
training soon at Gus Wilson's camp
in OrangeDurg, N. r., the promoter ad-
mitted he was bringing strong pressure
to bear on the Manl-ssa Mauler IN the
hope of another comeback champion.
Dempsey is due here late in March
to continue legal skirnlishes with JACK
Kearns, his former manager. Rickard
will leave about that time for Florida
to tune up his golf gIme and no meet
ing is scheduled here. However, 1T was
intimated that the promoter plans to
stop long enough in Philadelphia, or
Wilmington, DEL, to confer in private
with Dempsey, far from the prying
eyes of New York's journalistic
hawkshawS.
Rickard has no hope that Dempsey
will fight in June and very little that
the Californian will undertake third
match with Tunney in September.
Pending the outcome of the Sharkey-
Risko bout, the promoter will go ahead
with plans to match Heeney and the
winter of his second elimination semi
final some time in May.

NC CARTHY CUTS
WORK OF CUBS

AVALON, Santa Catalina Island
Calf, March 2 H9--Mahager Joe Nc
Carthy of the Chicago Cubs has les
sened the training work of his charges
because they have shown a slight stiff
ness that results from too hard train
ing.
Instead of five hours of conditioning
daily as has been the routine for the
last week, the Cubs will undergo only
four hours of training each day. Morn
ing and afternoon sessions will con-
tinue, however.
Something new in baseball made its
appearance at the camp today. A
aalking motion picture is being made
of the Cubs, so soon baseball fans
will be able to see and hear their fav-
orites, if they have any, on the Cubs
team in motion picture show.

LEWIS TITLE DISPUTED

In spite of the fact that Stranger
Lewis scored decisive and convincing
victory over Joe Stecher in the recent
contest that was billed for the worlds
heavyweight wrestling championship,
the right to the Strangers hold on
the title is still being disputed.
The New York boxing commission
claims that Hans Steinke has a better
claim to the title than either Lewis
or Stecher and Paul Prehn, chairman
of the Illinois commission, seems to
have his doubts. Prehn made the
terrible suggestion that an elimination
contest be held between the chal-
lengers to, find the logical opponent
for Lewis in real and recognized
championship bout.
The New York and Illinois bodies
ought to be more conversant with the
affairs of the manly art Of muscle
tearing than they seem to be. The
New York commission has William
Muldoon, a wrestling campaigner OF
renown in years past, as member,
and the Illinois body has for its
chairman wrestler by profession and
q college coach of the graphing art.
New York hasn't paid much at
tentiOn to wrestling since the good
jacques Curley had to give up the
promoting game and take some of
the crumbs from the boxing table.
WHEN CURLEY REIGNED
In the good old days before Jimmy
Walker got the boxing bill across in
New York, wrestling was a big sport
and Jacques Curley was the sport.
When Curley was in command there
never could be an argument about the
rights of any claimant to the title.
In the good old Curley days Jack
could not only tell you the name OF
the current champion in any weight
division, but he could give you a good
tip on who would be the next cham
pion and the champion after him.
Wrestling got out of control when
Wayne Mum threw Lewis out OF the
ring and set up little dynasty OF his
own and the sport drifted along
until one day the New York commits
sion made the startling admission that
it didn't know who the wrestling
champion was,
Nat Pendleton, college boy, who
had been complaining about the Cur
ley dictatorship, appeared before the
commission with a certified check for
$25OO and declared he wanted to chal-
lenge for the heavyweight wrestling
championship.
The Duke of MuIdOOn then gave
the lOw-dOwn on the racket when
he asked: "WhO is the champion,
