L ALKING
1T Over
WITH JOE WLLLAMs


NTEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Normally
IN it is easy to choose between
rags and riches. Especially in the
noble art of prize fighting. AS an il
lustration the present predicament
of the Madison Square Garden mil
lionaires will suffice.
The miIlionaires are backing a
DromotiOnal enterprise of the fists
down on the shores of Miami
Beach between StribIing and
sharkey, a couple of fighters who
10 not measure up as a big league
attraction with any great national
appeal.
TT7HIS was the fight that was left
a. to them in what you might call
a still born state by the late Tex
Rickard. Because of this circum-
stance and the correlated fact that
it bears the parental imprint of the
Madison Square Garden, the mil
lionaires, with their good names as
sportsmen at stake, and the honor
Of the institution to be upheld, re-
solved to take the dead promoters
last brain child and nurse it along,
no matter what the cost.
And so we witness the strange
spectacle Of the largest organiza-
tion of its kind in the world pro-
ceeding with a business project in
which its hackers entertain no feel
ing of success.
This is not meant to present the
garden boys as Sherlocks interested
only i'm foOl-proOf propositions. They
will take any reasonable chance.
TN this particular instance the
4 Garden boys find they have been
left with q prize fight which origi-
nally was conceived as a rather
gaudy magnet designed to attract
people to the vicinity of Miami to
participate in the devices of chance
in which Rickard, and later Demp-
sey, we're interested. These devices
were, and still are, the gambling
casino at Deauville, and the dog
track at the beach.
Ever Optimistical, Richard felt
the prize fight would stand on its
own feet, make some money, or
at least break even. But If it
didn't the play he would get from
the tourists at the casino and the
track would more than offset any
possible deficit.
The prize fight is still going to
be held. The casino is still run
ming, and so is the track. Also, the
chance still exists that the prize
fight will pay its way, in spite of
fact that S350,O00 must be taken IN
at the gate to meet expenses.
1T is even possible that the south
Il will rally behind Stribling and
support the turnstiles with suffs
cient fervor and frequency to yield
a profitable margin. The south sup
ports its native sons Loyalty, but
$3.50 900 is a boot full of money.
Most people expect a deficit.
The Garden boys of course will
have to bear it. They have no
interest in the side shows, the
casino or the track.
Overnight, Max Sehmeling has
become the most spectacular figure
in boxing. He is a potential million
dollar gate in himself. The Garden
boys brought him out, and have
monopoly on him. They could stick
the German in anywhere with any
of the so-called first flight heavy
weights and he would be a sell-out
But-and here's the rub--the
more they talk about. or exploit
Schmeling now the more they will
reduce interest in the Stribling-
Sharkey thing. If this doesn't pre-
sent both a dilemma and q guam
Diary the Garden boys would like to
know what does.

STUDYING Problem
OF RESCU|NG LAKE
State Engineer Would Try to
Divert Some Of Water Of
Sheyenne River

Establishment Of q station to meas
ure the flow Of water in the Sheyenne
has been effected by State Engineer
Robert Kennedy. working In union
with the federal government, It Is an.
nounced here.
The purpose Of the station, Ken
nedy said. is to ascertain by q long
time study II sufficient water flows
through the Sheyenne to permit the
taking Of some water to halt the low
ering Of the water in Devils Lake.
Carl Hjerpe. Sheyenne, Is in charge
OF the station and is taking readings
daily. Results so far indicate, Ken.
nedy said. that enough water can be
taken from the Sheyenne to maintain
Devils Lake ct its present level with
out seriously reducing the amount Of
water flowing in tho stream.
The study wa suggested by federal
engineers who are interested In the
possibilities Of keeping Devils Lake
from drying up by pumping water in-
to It, Kennedy said.
Daily readings taken by the state
engineers department ct Devils Lake
indicate that the level has risen I
trifle since May !. although It 10 no
higher now than It was this time last
year. Kennedy Is making . technical
study Of the rate ct which Devils
Lake is disappearing and the factors
entering into the drying-up process.

Red TOInahaWk
Prefers Plane
To Pinto Pony

Chief Red Tomahawk prefers trav-
cling In an airplane to riding his
pinto pony.
It all happened at the Fourth of
July celebration at Cannon Ball, when
the old chief had his first taste of
flying, with Vincent Cavasino of the
Bismarck flying school.
The aged Sioux chief, who during
his 70 years has navigated the Mis-
souri, river in canoes and flatboats,
who has ridden far in the white mans
automobile and his putting iron
horse" called it the best ride he had
taken, and said he would be
ready to try it again at any time.
Red Tomahawk recently returned
from washington, d. c.. and other
places in the east, where he was hon
ored by government officials.
The Cannon Ball celebration, which
lasted through Friday and Saturday,
was arranged and carried out entirely
by committees of Indians. Claude
Kill-Spotted was in general charge,
with John Little-C Grow serving as Sec
rotary and Tom Menu as treasurer.
Entertainment included two ball
games, both of which were won by
Cannon Ball. The first was with Nc
Donald township, with a score of
1915. and the second with Scion, end
ing 10-6. Shows, a dance, and races
were planned for each day. More than
1000 people were in Cannon Ball for
the first day Of the celebration.

kinds il headed. Early flax Is In
bloom and pastures are improved.
Corn is doing well and Is generally
clean. Spring wheat made fair to
