Fighters of today do not COM
pare with the old-timers for the
simple reason that they are too all
fired lazy to do road work. When
they get into the ring, they are
not sure of their legs, nor their
wind, nor their heart action. be-
cause they have not built them up
with road work. So. instead of
stepping out and making out a
furious fight of it, they go along
easily and clutch and hold and
pray that their underdeveloped
legs will hold up under them until
the finish.
"It's road work that makes all
the difference between great and
aggressive fighter and one who is
merely mediocre and whose main
dependence lies in clutching and
holding - instead of fighting =
when the going gets rough"

FOUNDATION
OF BOXING
SUCCESS
BY JACK DEMPSEY

'The whole trouble with the
fight racket today" insists Fred
Windsor, who was my manager in
the early days, ''is that these bozos
who aim to be fighters simply
won't do any road work. And I'm
tossing bricks especially at the
heavyweights."
When Windsor was boSsing my
affairs I broke a world record for
road work about the first day he
put me in training and every day
after that / continued to break
my day-by-day record. Freddie
started me running five miles the
first day, and before was regard
ed by him as fit for fight 1t
seems as though I had run $3.50
miles-all in about 10 days!
Road work." insists Windsor,
''is the absolute foundation for
physical fitness. It develops the
legs, the most vital need Of a
fighter. It stimulates the blood
circulation and keeps him from
getting sluggish. 1t helps his heart.
In fact. it helps his entire physical
makeup.

FEDERAL PILOT is VICTOR.
First Air Battle to Death in Mexican
Insurgent History Is Fought.

MEXICO CITY, March 81 R).-In
the first air battle to death ever fought
in any Mexican revolution federal
pilot was victor, and sent his rebel ad-
versary crashing from height OF
1000 feet, government adviceS To-Day
said.
The battle occurred Sunday during
the seige of MaZatlan by rebel forces
under Gems. Roberto Cruz and Fran
cisco Manzo. A federal plane plloted
by Lieut.. Jorge Llerenas met reoel
plane aloft over Venadilla, suburb OF
Mazatlan. and after brief maneuvering
and fighting put his ship out OF COM
mission.
1t was believed the pilot was killed.
Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales reported
to President Portes Gil today that his
columns had succeeded in crossing the
desert of Bolson de Mapimi and that
he expected by tonight his advance
guard would occupy Escalon.
The federal generalisSimo described
the crossing "as the most serious battle
of this military campaign" and termed
the desert a more powerful enemy than
the rebel Gen. Jose Gonzalo EScobar,
whose troops he Is pursuing.
Destroy Railroad Tracks.
The rebels, retreating from Torreon,
tore up almost every mile OF the rail-
road track northwards to EScalon, and
Gen. Gales was able to make but little
use of the line in his advance. 1t was
necessary to provide water for his SOL
diers by means of tank trucks. the lso-
lated wells in the desert, which there
has an area about that of the State of
Ohio, being insufficient for their needs.

ESCALON CAPTURE
SEEMS IMMINENT
Steam-roIIer Tactics in Fight.
ing Rebels Develop
Broadly.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gen. Gales steam-roller tactics in
fighting the rebels appeared to be de-
veloping broadly today.
The generals main army was stead
lily advancing northward and capture
of Escalon, important rebel outpost
town, appeared imminent.
A rebel chase along the west coast
also was reported by the government,
which said that the insurgents who
abandoned the siege of Mazatlan after
heavy fight faced being bottled up
at Culiacan.
Insurgent headquarters insisted that
small rebel force was still besieging
Mazatlan.
Advices from Culiacan stated that
federal troops were marching on that
place from Durango. If they capture
it they could cut off numerous rebel
troops still in Southern Sinaloa.
Gen. Gales reported crossing the
wide desert in Southeastern Chihuahua
and that now that this difficult bar
rier was past his progress would be
swifter.
Quiet prevailed along the border and
the attack on Naco by the rebels still
hung fire. although they were within
eight miles of the town.
G. K. BUZZ Morrison, American
airman, who was captured by the
rebels while flying in federal service,
reached Nogales safely, having been
released despite rebel threat to hold
him.
A group of American flyers is being
organized by the rebels TO counter the
growing use Of airplanes by the gov
ernment forces.

President Installs
Telephone on Desk,
Breaking Precedent
HoOver's Ideas Prove to
Be Different From
Predecessors.

President Hoover has had a telephone
placed on, his desk in the executive Of
fee, thus establishing precedent.
Presidents during the telephone age
prior to Mr.. Hoover's taking Office very
rarely used telephone and when they
did they either talked over one in
booth in a room adjoining the Presi-
dents Office or the one in the Presi-
dents study on the second floor Of the
White House. When they had occa-
sion for telephoning they always
turned the task over to secretary or
to some other attache.
Mr. Hoover'S ideas regarding the ac-
tivitieS of an Executive are different.
He had not been President more than
two weeks when he decided that he no
longer relished leaving his desk to go
to another room to use the telephone.
He had frequent occasions to use this
means Of communication during his Of
flee hours and he discovered that he
was wasting too much personal effort
leaving his desk chair and hurrying
back and forth to the booth telephone.
Therefore, he gave orders to have the
phone placed at his elbow on his desk
and since last Monday it has been used
by him. He had installed what is
known as the continental apparatus"
the one-piece phone.
This, however, is only one of the
many innovations that Mr.. Hoover Is
expected to foster.
At Mr.. Hoover'S suggestion the large
room on the second floor of the White
House which heretofore has been used
as Presidents study or library, and
which has served as an auxiliary office,
has been transformed into living room.
Decorations and arrangement of the
furniture have been changed to meet
this purpose. Easy chairs large lounges
and attractive floor lamps have been
added to the room
Plans for altering the interior of the
executive office so as to meet the re-
quirementS of the new administration
are completed and the actual work will
commence within the next week or two.
Mr.. Hoover would like to build a real
office building for the executive Office.
but this is out of the question, as such
structure would not be In conformity
with the general architectural scheme
Of the White House. Therefore, in order
to not break the present architectural
lines, the added space to the executive
office is to be acquired by remodeling
what is now the basement and utilizing
the west wing connecting the White
House and the executive Office.

NATIONALIST FORCE
ROUTED AT CHEFOO
Chang -chang's Troops
Take Control of City After
.TWo-Day Battle.

By the Associated Press.
CHEFOO, Shantung, China, March
27.-Marshal Chang Tsung-changs en-
tered this city at 8 am. today and,
practically without hindrance from its
Nationalist defenders, took control
The British sloop Cornfiower and the
United States cruiser Trenton moved
in shore to a position near the foreign
quarter to meet any emergency which
might arise.
Defeat of the Nationalist troops fol-
lowed treachery and detection of 1000
of their number who went over to
Chang, former war lord of Shantung
province.
Munitions Left in Retreat.
The Nationalists, who we're led by
Gen. Iiu Chen-Nien. began to retreat
at am, after reverses in a battle
which had ragged for two days east of
the city. They passed through the city
eastward in the direction of Ninghai-
chow. leaving behind them large guam
titles of munitions.
Shops all over the city were closed
and shuttered tight and residents re-
NAMED inside. The Chinese Chamber
of Commerce sent delegation to Chang
to arrange peaceful transfer of the
town. Looting by the victorious troops
was feared.
The Shantung marshaps forces i'm
mediately took charge of the cable sta
ton, the manager of which previously
had asked guard from the Trenton
in the harbor.
Chang's Forces Wen Armed.
Thousands of Chang's troops passed
through the city pursuing the retreat
ing Nationalists. They were we'll
armed. and had trench mortars and
machine guns.
Treachery of a subordinate was as
signed as the immediate cause of Liu
ChenNien's defeat. The subordinate
had charge of sector of the western
defenses. Last night he refused to
carry out orders TO attack, leaving a
gap through which the enemy ad-
vanced, forcing the Nationalist to re-
treat.
The new positions of the two war
vessels, close in shore, it was believed,
would have the effect of partially main
tanning order in the city.
