COMMISSION HAS
CURE FOR AILS
OF COLD FOOTED

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 R--A REM
edy concocted by the New York state
athletic commission to cure certain
types of illness among heavyweight
battlers, even before they occur,
was passed on today to fighters in
lesser divisions.
The commission called upon
Benny Bass, Philadelphia nominee
of the National Boxing association,
for the featherweight championship
and Tony Canzoneri, favorite son
of the New York commission, for
forfeits of $25OO apiece to ensure
their going through with title
match scheduled for Feb. 10 at
Madison Square Garden.
Precedent for this action was set
two weeks ago, when the commits
sion ordered Tom Heeney and Jack
Delaney to post $4,000 apiece to
guarantee appearance for their
heavyweight elimination" battle
here March l. The move followed
Jack Sharkey's postponement Of the
original date for his recent draw
match with Heeney because OF an
injured hand. The commission
thought that postponement unnec-
essary.
The forfeits, which must be post
ed by Thursday, will be split into
equal sums guaranteeing appear
ance and weight under theI 1876
pound limit. In case of default, the
weight forfeit will be turned over
t. the offenders opponent, while
the appearance money will be paid
the Madison Square Garden.

U. S. CALLS ROLL
OF DEFENDERS OF
GOLF AND TENNIS

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 Rl--The
United States already is calling the
roll of it's forces for two of the
main cup clashes of 1928-the de-
tense of the Walker cup in golf and
the challenge for the Davis cup in
tennis.
Except for probable choice be-
tween Bobby Jones and Francis
Ouimet, George Won Elm, Watts
not much of a problem to selection
of the golf team that will meet the
British invaders at Chicago next
August. The Walker cup has yet
to repose on a foreign shelf.
America, Ialthoul.l hard pressed
at st. Andrews in 1923 and again in
1926. has won all four tussles Tor
the trophy and will be favored to
keep it at home again with such
stalWarts to depend on as Jones,
Ouimet, George con Elm, Watts
Gum, Roland Mackenzie, Chick
Evans, possibly Jess Sweetser and
others.
The Davis cup campaign is
horse of another color. After seven
years of supremacy, the United
States is in the unaccustomed posi-
ton of starting at the bottom OF
the heap, along with some 80 other
nations. The old guards effective
.ness has dwindIed. Tildep and
Johnston, the erstwhile main de-
tenders, are not out of the picture
altogether, but it is upon more
youthful shoulders that Davis cup
hopes are being rebuilt Where,
since 1920, it has been foregone

SENATE PASSES
u. S. MERCH ANT
MARINE new ACT

WASHINGTON JAN 81 R-Over.
the opposition of President Coolidge
and administration leaders, the senate
today passed the Jones bill to expand
the American merchant marine and
to maintain it under government
control.
A combination of democrats and
western republicans sent the measure
to the house by vote of So to 81
after rejecting by Overwhelming votes
a long series of amendments put for
ward in a last-minute attack by
those who contended the measure
would establish a policy of permanent
government ownership and operation
of the merchant fleet.
Heeding to the demands of Presi'
dent Coolidge for early transfer Of
the government fleet into private
hands, administration republicans
centered their attack en- the pro :
vision. of the bill requiring unanimous
consent of the shipping board for
the sale of any vessels hereafter.
An attempt, however. by Senator
Edge republican, New Jersey, to-
modify the bill to authorize sale OF
ships by majority vote of the board
was rejected So to 81. A move by
Senator Willis, republican, Ohio, to
permit sales by vote of five of the
seven members of the board was
then turned down, Al to 81.
Finally, on the closest vote Of the
day, the senate rejected an amend
rrlent by Senator King, democrat,
Utah, adding a provision that nothing
in the language of the bill should
be construed as committing the
United States to a policy of per-
manent ownership and operation OF
the merchant marine. 1t lost, 443
to 38.
Senator Jones, republican, Wash
ington, author of the bill, argued
there was nothing in the measure
requiring such an amendment, but
Senator King insisted that the pro-
vision requiring unanimous consent
of the shipping board for the sale
of ships established a government
ownership policy.
Twelve. democrats joined with 26
administration republicans in support
of the King amendment while %
democrats, IA republicans and the
lone farmer-labor senator voted
against the King proposal.
The final vote on the bill found
80 democrats, 10 republicans and the
senator in support of
it and eight democrats and % re-
publicans in opposition.
In addition to requiring the unani-
nous consent of the beard for the I
sale of any ships, the bill also would
authorize an extensive program for !
replacement of the present govern
ment fleet. No appropriation is pro-
vided, but Senator Jones announced |
that it would perrnie the shipping
beard to ask for funds to go through
with its $25O,OOOOO0 Is year coli

three to six years at the present
time. following a conviction on a
charge of grand larceny based on the
theft of the car belonging to Mathis,
the slain rancher.
In granting the writ, Judge jones
set Feb. A as the date when he
will listen to the argument of the
accused wonan's attorney as to the
evidence on which she was held for
the murder charge. Mrs. Dugan is
now being held in the Pima county
iail, having been brought back here

JURY SELECTED
TO TRY PARKER
INFORD MURDER

TUCSON, Jan. 81 P-Using the
Anmplete panel of $50 men and the
entire first day of the trial th4
Jury which will hear the second trial
of James Buffalo Jim" Parker, was
selected torigIl when Judge Joseph
HenckeS, OF Phoenix, declared court
in recess.
Parker is on trial fer murder in
connection with the shooting of Urey
Ford, patrolman, last april.
All through the day a large audience
listened while prospective jurors were
questioned by the attorneys of defense
and state, for the return CT the
Parker case for its second hearing
has reawakened the interest which
swept this community after the night
of April 81, last, when Parker and
Ford, meeting in the downtown dis
trict started quarrel which ended
in the death of the merchant police
man. Both men had many friends,
Parker, former coWman, drawing his
following from the ranges to the
south of here, Ford, for years a
peace officer, from the city itself. At
the first trial the jury disagreed,
Parker having pleaded self defense.
The shooting, it is said, occurred
after Parke1 a'1d Ford had quarreled
over the alleged attentions of Ford
to Parker's wife. James Buffalo
Jim" Parker, whose nickname came
to him as youth because of his
curley, sandy hair, is one OF family
of cattlemen living in the Chiricahua
mountain country of Santa. Cruz
county, where a portion of their
range is known throughout the state
as the Parker canyon district. Short;
stocky and rugged, the defendant is
typical of the men of his family
all cowmen or officers, several of
them being at the present time in
either the federal service or some
phase of county work in Santa Cruz
county.
Urey Ford, the slain merchant
policeman, was one or eight sons
of a Kentucky family which moved
to Arizona about Is years ago. His
brother, Dallas Ford, is police
officer here and at one time was
chief fpolice of this city.
The jury in the first trial, after
hours of argument disagreed and
was dismissed.
During the first trial, the story
of the long drawn quarrel between
the two men and it's fatal ending
was told. Ford, it was testified, did
not know of Parker's suspicious, al
though Parker had told others that
he suspected Ford and his ParKer'sl
wife of Clandestine meetings. Later,
when Ford was told that Parker
was angered and looking for him.
he refused at first to believe it, then
later declared he was going to "see
Parker about it."
Ford was a merchant policeman
on duty in the business section of
the city, while Parker, at the time
special watchman at the University
of Arizona, was stationed more than
a mile from the bcat which Ford
covered.
Coming downtown about II o'clock
on the night OF April 81, Parker
emit Ford at the intersection of two
streets. Another police
officer passing by saw them standing
there talking in a low tone. The

CASE OF SPEAKER.

Unless Iris Speaker agrees to do
his .centerfielding for some other
club at a lower salary than the one
he failed to get for another year
from Washington, he is likely to be
among &hose missing when the 1928
baseball curtain goes up in the ma
jors.
Speaker was released a few days
ago by the Senators because he re-
fused to name salary with Sub
stantial reduction for sthe coming
season.
While it was never announced
what salary he received last year, it
was said to be anywhere from $4O,-
900 to 100000. No doubt exists
that it was a bit high for the good
Speaker did for Washington.
He had a great year. There's no
doubt of that. But the primary mo-
tive in the bidding that went on for
Speakers services last year was the
attraction he was expected to be at
the box office.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-02-01

As gate attraction, Speak
er failed to draw the fans in
as he was expected to do. That
is the reason why the Senator
owners could not see their way
to paying him the same salary,
whatever it was, again this
year.

This is a rather novel idea on the
two-team idea and is one that will
bear watching as an experiment
next season if the crafty Stanford
mentor goes through with, it.
No other teams, however, have
joined in with the proposed plan of
Warner, and it is doubtful whether
Warner will go through with it un-
less some of the other Pacific coast
colleges go in for the same plan.
1t would hardly be fair to have
Stanford's team of seniors meeting
the regular California team of
seniors, juniors and sophs, and it is
unlikely that such will, occur. Pop
Warner likes to win as we'll as any
other coach, and he is unlikely to
minimize his chances of victory
an attempt to make an experiment.
The tWO-team idea, however
it is carried out, is certain not
to Interfere with attempts TO
win all games. For that, as
Glenn Thristlethwaite of Wis
cOnsin says, is the frank con-
Germ OF all coaches, despite

WHO WANTS HIM?

No major league club is likely to
pay Speaker a salary anywhere near
$4,000 for his services this sea-
son.
While plenty of good baseball re-
mains in Speaker, it must be re-
membered that he has seen his best
playing days and is on the down
road now. And when they slip, they
slip quickly.
Connie Mack tried to make the
Athletics a pennant winner last sea-
son with a group of veterans and
found that old age and experience,
while a great help, are also handi-
caps in certain respects.
Speaker could help several clubs
in the major leagues. He still is
able to take care of his section of
the outfield and he still can carry
on through the season with a bat
ting average well over 800.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1928-02-01

But. whether he- is worth
$4O,OOO is another question.
The Senators didn't think so,
and it may turn out finally that
no other major league club
thinks so. 1t looks like cut
in salary-OP else the finish.

Friday evening the Ely boys
played good basketball to beat Au-
rora here 25 to Ia.
The game was fast from the start
to the finish. The first quarter
Aurora was ahead 5 10 A and at the
end of the half they still had the
lead, 10 to 8. Collette, star of the

and had only few chances to make
any attempts at the basket.
In the second half the Ely team
started whirlwind attack composed
of Smrekar, Nicholas and Gerzin.
Smrekar and Nicholas working it
down the floor and Gerzin getting his
baskets by following up the long
shots. The quarter ended Is to IL
in Ely's favor. The last quarter was
the same brand of ball, Ely getting
in close on the Aurora guards to
make good their chances. When the
final gun shot the score was 25 to
IA in Ely's favor.
The Ely second team string men
also won their game in a hard fought
battle by the score of 20 to 10.
The last game of the evening was
between the Ely Junior College and
the Rangers of this city.
The game was slow and showed
the lack practise on the part of
the college team. The final score
was 35 to Is in the Rangers favor.

DERBY.

Eddie Barbeau and his partner,
George Rhien returned yesterday
from Hackensack with the winning
team in the Little t'alls-Hackensack
Jog derby.
The dog derby which started at
Little Fails, Minnesota and ended
at Maeser's Eur Farm, which is a
few miles northeast or Hackensack
distance of one hundred miles was
wen by Barbeau and his fine team
of five dogs.
The first lap of thirty-two miles,

or weather. The teams were head
ing into a forty mile northeaster,
with the thermometer registering
tyenty-eight degrees below zero.

ahead of the second team. Two Of
his dogs were badly frozen on this
en- over to getting them IN shape
for the final lap OF seventy miles be-
tween brainerd and Maeser's FUR
Farm Just out of Hackensack. Dur
ing the first lap, a thlrty-tive mlnuSe
rest was taken and the mea and
dogs were given chance TO warm
up. Barbeau, however, started oat
alter this rest before the otner emit
rles had caught up to hiri The
American Legion POSTS at Little
rails and at Brainerd helped care
TOR the entries while in their respect
lbe cities. All entries stayed over
night at Brainerd.
The second lap was won by Bar

between him and the second team.
Ills team was handicapped by being
blanketed and having the fees OF
the dogs bound on account of the
frost bites of the day before. They
hit clip of about eleven miles per
hour in this race, while travelling
and averaged about eight miles per
hour when taking into account the
short stop for coffee and lunch.

DR.. j. E. Thompson is caring for
them and treating them. They were
nipped quite badly on the first lap
