A left hook that landed unintcn.
tionally low halted what promised to
be free swinging fracas in the
third round of the 10 round main
event at the opening boxing show of
the Imperial Valley Athletic club
here last night.
Raymon Montoya, the valley :
classy contribution to the bantam.
weight leather pushcrs, landed the
low on Alfredo Imperial during a
wild mix-up in the center of the ring.
Imperial did not go down but looked
appcalingly to Referee Bill Tackctt
who promptly stopped the fight
The Filipino was carried to the
dressing room while Montoya waited
in the ring and the customers re-
manned in their seats. After DELAY
of about 10 minutes, during which
Imperial was examined by the club
physician, Tack II announced to the
crowd that Montova was the loser on
II foul.
The entire card. including what
ilghllhG was dune IN the main event ,
kept the large crowd that attended,
constantly yelling. The opening bat
tie was a slam bang affair between
Larry Jones and Andy Armstrong Of
Holtville with the latter winning
easily after scoring nine count
knoekdown in the second and two
more in the third.
The special event between Bobby
facho Of Yuma and Eddie Gsrcia of
I'll Centre ended in the third round
when the local Mexican went down
under a barragc Of blows. Garcia
had taken a nine count IN the second
frame and another trip to the can,

|L0NELY HEATH HEN
 ISLAST Of BREED
Eld oI Hissaehwtt .Sholy
 BditId Unique Specimen

Boston, May aA. N-Op an island off the Massachusetts coast dwella perhaps the loneliest creature in the world.
 It is heath hen, the last of its species, sole survivor of variety of grouse that ts all but extinct notwithstanding expenditure of more than t100,00O by the state of Massachusetts to preserve ~this relic of colonial days. F Three centuries ago the heath hen was numerous species fin the vast flocks of North American wild fowl. A few years ago the last known colony made it's final stand on Martha's Vineyard. Oynitholo. gists joined in the effort to save them. and have participated for perhaps the first time in watching the extinction of species. Even with their watching. only little of the tragedy is revealed.
 Their final annals are reported by Dr. Alfred O. Gross. professor Of biology at Bowdoin college. who since 1923 has studied the rapidly thinning colony. working under su- pervisicn of the state division of fisheries and game.
 In the spring of 1927 only 13 birds. of which but two were fe- males. were counted. By autumn the flock dwindled to seven. In the ensuing winter one by one the flock dropped, until 1923 opened with three males
 One of these was definitely iden.

'"Gh9t Of &smolck" Predicts
 Dirt Events by Saturday

Berlin. May 24. (UP)-Plague. destruction. war, famine and the dis appearance of the British Isles from the faca of the earth-all these things and more will take place plomptly at II o'clock Saturday eve
 ming unless the ghost of Prince von Bismarck" misses his guess. In an article appearing the week. ly newspaper. White Mountain over the signature of the ghost of the famous Iron Chancellor" thes dire things are predicted. And if the above is not disaster enough there are plenty of other dire things slated for the current year.
 The editor of the newspaper, Jo- seph Weissenberg. falls to state
 whether he actually spoke to the ghost of Bismarck, but in view of the detailed information contained in the article, with dates and every thing, it is taken for granted that he did.
 According to the prediction of the ghost-incldentaliy the first On- the-level-ghost- writer since the end of the age of miracles-England is due to sink beneath the combined waves of the channel and the At lantic; America. Ireland. France and Belgium will suffer from tidal waves: famine and destruction will break out simultaneously at several important points.
 Later on, the ghost of the once mighty chancellor predicted, on

tified as lost last summer. 6ince December last only one bird has been seen.
 Allan Keniston. superintendent of the heath hen reservation, and Dr. Gross have patroled the haunts of the birds without finding moro than one male this spring. Thorn ton W. BurSen. the naturalist and others offered rewards for reports of other heath hens. but none was found.
 Tt is reasonable. to infer" says Dr. Gross. that the lone bird at West Tisbury is the very last of his kind.
 How long this bird will continue to live, whether a day or q year or longer. only time can answer. It is the intention of tho Massachu- setts state division of fisheries and game to allow the last heath hen to live its remaining days in nor- nal way ainong the scrub oaks plains - it's ancestral home on Martha . Vineyard. Az: long as it lives it will be carefully observed and protected.

 The city spreads out on . broad
 plain which is not more than four
 feet above the set at high tide. A solid row Of low buildings lines the quay. Their first floors are hidden in the shadows or arcades. while the balconfed upper hoors are shielded fffom the sun by reed awnings. ~' Nost of the buildings are white. but here and there . pale pink or appear to be substantial. but close observation reveals that many have bamboo frames, covered with plas- ter or stucco.3 and. in some cases, painted to resemble marble. Find Homenadc NeschaAdise Throughout the city improved streets run at right angles. There are also shaded parks and squares. The fine residences of Guayaquil are as attractive as their hinaay bamboo construction can make them. Often the verandas of Guayaquilr houses have a larger floor area than the floors inside.
 In the business streets the ground floors of bordering buildings are us- ually occupied by open front shops. In these shops an English, French or American woman may buy per- fumes. cosmetics and other e"neces- sities" almost as readily as in a store of her home town.
 There are numerous sweet shops, and open cafes where little tables ara set out on the sidewalk in the shade of the arcades. Conversation must be carried on in loud tone on ac- count of the street noises. The tin ware salesman, with his pots, pans and buckets ofd various sizes an shapes. dangling from long pose, sounds like the approach of an an- cient fivver. Then there are ven- ders of iced drinks and sweet-meats, and newsboys and street merchants of various other types whose refrain is almost deafening. --,
 The street resounds with the clat- ter of hoofs for. in Guayaquil. the donkey and horse have not been wholly displaced by the auiom obii's. The grocery boy straddles the runIp of one of these animals. In frort of him his deliveries are packed in crates which hang over both sides of his mount. The donkey also is the Guayaquil 'ice wagon" and, while the city has electric trans. the .lon- key-drawn vehicle is still patronizeI by people who appear unhurried. One of the most ridiculous sights in the Guayaquil streets is an elonyst- ed native riding donkey 50 smsll that the riders feet. if extended, would drag the ground.
 There are few spots in Guayaquil where the traveller is out of ,lle range of the odor of cocoa beans.

Their average existence ia approximately. 20 years. Theaters of all types of construction show a gen. eral average life less than recorded fer any other buildings.
