HALF MOON THROUGH THE LENS ''''-
TunneyPacks Harder
Punch This Time

/ If YOU recall. some Of us didnV
give Tunney looIS-in when he first
fought Jack Dempsey, but somehow
or other there Is always someone
hanging around who can take the
champion. Go q little bit farther
back and recall what they said
Dempsey would do to Firpo, but
before Dempsey knew what his
middle name was, Firpo had him
out in the press seats, and IL the
referee hadn't been looking the
other way the championship would
have changed hands then and there.
Dempsey took a break there and
he gave one IN Chicago.
Then too, about the time we were
returning from France in 1919 after
having been out of touch with
licensed fighting for some time, we
recall reading how q good little guy
didn't have a chance against good
big guy; but Dempsey knocked all
that hOkum into a cooked fedora at
Toledo.
But to come down to this thing
tomorrow night, outside OF the un-
expected and unorthodox, it is diff
cult to see how Tunney can drop
his toga. There never was a
champion with 80 many virtues as
Tunney. He can box or fight. as
he elects. He can come in fighting
and go away boxing. But he is
instinctively the latter. He is
shifty on his feet, yet unyielding
on them when 1t is policy to stand
toe to toe and exchange compli-
ments.
His left jabs and hooks TO the
jaw are poison and may end a fight,
the way he Is hitting now, aC 4
moments notice. His ubiquitous
right under the heart is something
TO write home about and defies any
man TO stand up against without
firing.
No Unvarying Plan
We believe Tunney has no set
plan Of action: that is to say q
fixed procedure from which he win
not vary. He's too smart for that.
lie knows he can't win this fight
until tomorrow night and that there
will be time enough in the early
rounds for him to formulate an
exact schedule.
Contrary to the views OF the skep-
tics, Tunney has not been hurt by
MS intervals of inactivity over the
past TWO years Long lay-offs like

Expect Favorable
Vote On Bill BY
Senate Committee

A telegram received at the Imper
ial Irrigation District from +. w.
Greer in Washington ID. c., de-
clares that present indications point
to a favorable report by the sen
ate committee on Irrigation and
Reclamation following its presen,
hearing on the Boulder Dam pro-
iect. The telegram also declares
that desperate efforts to amend the
bill as introduced by Senator Hr-
am Johnson are expected to fail.
Greer, however, intimates that
the project is in danger of losing
the support of New Mexico.
In opening the message Greer
says that Governor Dern of Utah,
who opened testimony in the hear
ing. was thoroughly discredited by
Senator johnson in cross -cXamina>
tion. Wilson of New Mexico took
the stand yesterday and made Il
statement opposing a flood control
dam but in other respects his t"sti-
mony was much weaker than it was
in his statements last week be!Jic
the house committee.
Wilson surprised the proponents
of the bin by presenting amend
ments which in effect are the same
as the Lcniherwood amendments for
the benefit of private power co1-
porations. They will probably be
defeated, Greer declares, but the in
ference is that the suDport of New
Mexico may be lost.
Considerable activity on the Iart
of the private power lobby is evil

Heavy Tourist
Travel in 1927

Western tourist travel during the
year of 1927 was heavy according
to records made available at the
Southern Pacific offices here today.
This was especially true during the
tourist season from May Is to Oc-
tober 81, during which period an
increase of six percent over 1926
was made.
In an, article submitted with the
records by j. M. Scott, assistant
passenger traffic manager it is
pointed out that advertising of var
ious communities has aided greatly
in this increase. He points out that
the individual advertising of the
various cities can not be looked
upon as competitive inasmuch as the
general trend now is to interest the
tourist in visiting the whole Pacific
coast, Prospects for 1928 are eX-
ceptionally bright, he declares.
