OPPONENT FOR TuNNEY
Heavyweight Champion to Defend
 Title in Yankee Stadium June 14, RiCkard Says.

New York, Feb. 25 (UP)-Gene Tunney will defend his heavyweight little in Yankee Stadium June II against Jack Delaney, Jack Sharkey, Johnny Risko or Tom Heeney, ac- cording to the present plans of Pro- moter Tex Rickard.
 The Delaney Heeney match will take place March 1 and the Sharkey- Risko bout Marsh 12 and the two winners will be matched in May for bout to determine the challenger.
 However" Rickari said, "the outcome of either or both of the elimination bouts might change the entire situation. If the heavyweight eliminations do not develop an out standing contender. might use Pauline against Tunney in June if he won decisively from George God frey. Or might use the winner or the Delaney-Heeney bout agains, Tunney in the first bout or the summer and the winner of the Shar- key-Risko bout in the second or vice versa"
 Rickard reiterated his Miami Beach announcement that Jack Dempsey is definitely through with the ring. The promoters conviction is based on a telegram from the former champion which said, q don't think it advisable to do any more boxing"

 Selling Real Estate
 Some years ago. the police receiv- cd word of several instances of the working of a scheme whereby two or three men interested a Sap" in real estate which they actually did not own with the result that they obtained deposit and made off with it. In those days many so-call- ed greenhorns from various Euro- Tcan countries were so determined to increase their earnings beyond the amount possible through daily labor in the factories that they jumped at every offer that seemed an opportunity. Despite numerous in the press. from the pull pit and through other agencies, they to throw away their money. often two or three hundred dollars at time. They thought they could own a siX-tenement block by raying in 8 few hundred dollars with a ready profit of several thou sands of dollars any time they cared 10 dispose of it. but very often they learned to their sorrow that they had bought something not owned by the person who made the sale"

TEAMS SHOW SPIRIT
Two Boston Managers Instill Plenty Of Pep Into Hustling Group Of Candidates.

Boston, Feb. 25 R-Two Boston baseball managers took their teams in hand yesterday and when they had finished. the one in the club house and the other on the field, they had inparted a lot of spirit to a flock of hustling candidates and veterans as well.
 As a result of the Red Sox at Bradentown. and the Braves at St.. Petersburg. Fla, went through their snappiest workouts yet and caused officials of both aggregations to wax enthusiastic over their respective outlooks.
 Manager Bill Carrigan of the Sox called the boys into the clubhouse and told them a few things about the spirit of fight and then sent them charging onto the field like firemen responding to an alarm. Bradley, Russell and Wiltse. veteran hurlers, who have been allowing . disposition to let the youngsters do all the work, put on stiff drill under the watchful eye of Carrisan and then the younger men worked out on the mound.
 Over at St. Petersburg, five days of ideal conditions saw the squad in excellent condition. and there wasn't sore arm on the lot. Manager Jack Slattery himself took the catcher's mitt in order to get better line on what his candidates can do. He is determined not to let : single man slip away without an adequate trial.

SKEP7ICAL PUBLIC
 AVOIDS flIMFLAMS
Not So Easily &kM and Crooks
 Find Victims Scarce

The experience of a Lilac street man who withdrew his life's say tnss. amounting to more than $500, from the bank. and allowed himself to be relieved of it by a fortune teller a short time ago, was the means of recalling to the minds of veteran policemen numerous other schemes which have been worked successfully in this city in past years For some time prior to the most recent flimflam. there had been no instance on record of the fall of a susceptible "easy mark" and the police believe that the pub licity and warnings resulting from earlier cases has had much to do with educating the public to be wary where fortune .tellers. hypno- tists and their ilk were concerned. In all probability. also, the crop of easily fooled men and women has been reduced through the interfer- ence of Americanized advisers and children of foreign born couples, who have been known 10 have stressed the value of the precaution of never giving money out unless something tangible is offered in re- turn.
 One of the oldest flimflam schemes known 10 the police is that worked by two or more persons on a. single victim by the use of a handkerchief and wad of paper. There are several methods of up- preceding the victim. who is known to the flimflammers aR the sap" the ''sucker," the "bat" and other names intended to indicate that there is ready money available with little effort This game has been worked successfully in stores. by asking for small bills in exchange for those of large denominations. The real money is flashed in plain view of the victim and in the ex- change the paper wad Is covered by g. handkerchief and the exit made 90 quickly that the person behind the counter cannot discover the scheme In time to overhaul the crooks. It has been worked on street corners and other places but has not been reported to the police in this city for some time.
 "Muney Making" Machines
 Another scheme that is known to have been put over number of times here is the money making" machine. A complete outfit, includ- ing stamps. ink and paper, is used, the operator being careful first 10 turn out several genuine bills by having them inserted in the machine beforehand. The victim usually hands over his savings or a good part of them after being shown how the nachins works. Naturally, he does not feel that he is making bad investment especially when he

Speaking of Sports

Interest in the amateur dght last night between Billy Taylor Of Hart ford and Johnny Clinch of this city Was so intense that no tickets were available for reserved seats shortly after the box office was open last night. The Tabs hall was crowded for the event.
 With four ticket agencies in this city handling reserved seats for the tournaments. 1t seems that New Britain fight fans ought to be able to secure seats in plenty of time. Next week. it Is expected. will be q repetition of this weeks affair when Taylor and Larrivier come together and warning to the wise ts suf- t.cient.
 The New Britain Roller Hockey team will either go up or down to- night and tomorrow. Tonight in Waterbury 1t meets the Shamrocks and tomorrow here. the team bat ties the Meriden Maroons Two vic- tories will put New Britain at the top of the standing. Two defeats will not be 90 good.
 Meriden swamped Waterbury last night and Bristol's hopes for a place in the playof series were dimmed considerably when Hartford eked out victory in the Capital City. Bristol and Hartford meet again to. night in Bristol.
 Following in the wake of the de- cision of Referee Young" McAuline to change his decision with regard to the Kaplan-Mays bout in New Haven the other night, the Elm City is filled with fight scandal. The showing of Joe Currie against Georgie Day was so evidently g. put up job that 1t will go down in the history of Connecticut boxing as one of the worst humtugs put across on . gullible public,
 Currie. always and easily Days master, appeared like an amateur in the bout. He was trapped in corners of the ring and otherwise did everything he could to lose. The referee, not being in on the party, called the bout a draw. Day should have been declared the winner.
 The investigation into the debacle has been carried on and It ap- pears certain that punishment will be meted out to both boxers. Georg1e Day has a match with kaplan in the works. Currie was strapped Tor money. So the charges fly thick and fast. Put the two together and the fans get what they did the other night when the pair put on their Waltzing act.
 Commissioner Donohue has the opportunity now to desert the Ma tional Boxing Association and use his official capacity to settle the fate ot these two. Fixing fights Is bad business and has. more or less' gone out of style. Let the commissioner weed out the cookies. It's a good time to start.
 Mickey Mccullough of Hartford has been granted promoters H. cense and he win stage pro boxing shows at Foot Guard hall in Hart ford in the near future.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives


The folly OF arraying class against class and the
fallaey Of attempting to weld opposing interests into a
political unit is being exemplified in Mexico, where, as
a result Of the assassination Of Presdent-Elect obre-
gon, a dangerous feud between the agrarian and labor
elements has been precipitated.
During the past five years political leaders in Mex
leo have sought to weld agriculture and labor and
utilize the collective strength against the ccnservs-
tive elements. Considerable success followed the in
itial efforts, labor and agrarian leaders appealing to
the masses upon the basis that all are workers" and
that between workers there should be a close bond
Of political cooperation.
But they did not take into their calculations the
human equation and the economic forces. Agriculture
immediately demanded higher prices for its produc-
ton, and labor demanded higher wages. Economic
conditions were such that the demands could not be
met. Labor leaders charged that the cost Of living
had advanced beyond the point Of reason; agriculture
eountered with the declaration that the price Of labor
and the products of industry had advanced more rap
idly than the cost Of living. It was merely the old
story Of endeavoring to gain through political channels
certain privileges and advantages for certain classes.
The feud flared forth following the assassination
Of President-Elect obregon, agrarian leader who had
aroused the enmity of Luis Morones, labor secretary.
Morones had assumed leadership in the battle Of the
laborites against the demands OF the agrarians. His
appointment was the result Of the effort to form a
coalition between labor and agriculture, an effort that
apparently proved effective only in arousing class
p~rejudices without improving the economic condition
Of the workers OF the nation.
Theoretically the amalgamation Of labor and agri-
culture into a political unit has an appeal to the peo-
pie. They visualize the workers Of the farm and fac
tory marching together toward economic Independence,
but do not take into consideration that individual ambi-
tions and aspirations and the selfishness to which all
mankind is heir must be considered as a factor. It Is
only human nature for the farmer TO desire to sell his
products at the highest price possible, and to buy his
-.z....ss~ - 4 Iauraa ~ - hurnap ratpr fr 1ahnr
to demand the highest wage industry can pay and to
likewise demanded a low or moderate living cost.
The experience of Russia, Mexico and all other
countries that have tried the experiment of amalga-
mating agriculture and labor upon the plea that all are
workers" and therefore should wage political warfare
upon all who cannot be 80 classified has proved the
fallacy of endeavoring to erect a class government. 1t
cannot stand the test Of time. 1t will either collapse
under the weight Of the class burden or degenerate
into a dictatorship OF the worst type.
