Prehn Says He Was Offered
$4,000 to Name Tunney.
Dempsey Arbiter
Exonerates Jack From Deal;
Says Barry Surprised
When Named

Chicago, Aug. 9.-(P)-The smolder-
ing controversy over the referceing
Of the Dempsey unney world heavy
weight championship fight at Soldier
field In September, 1927. today had
burst into flame, with the assertion
Of Paul Prehn, president of the Ma
tional Boxing association, that he was
offered $4,000 to urge a particular
individual as referee of the bout.
Prehn, who recently was ousted as
chairman Of the Illinois state athletic
commission, said he was approached
by q gambler, whose name he refused
to divulge, who made the proffer.
saying he wished to assure himself
that the third man in the ring would
not be pro-Tunney. The nan was
not selected. Prehn said.
Prchn fastened to say that he was
certain Dempsey had nothing to do
with the affair.
Dempsey probably never heard Of
the offer. and / am certain no men,
Der Of his camp was involved" Prehn
said.
He related that the mar had
placed q thousand dollar bill on his
desk and had told him that nine
other notes Of the same denomination
would be his If he acceded to the re-
quest. Prehn also declined to name
whom the gambler wished to serve as
referee Of the fight.
Prehn said he Immediately rejected
the offer and ordered the nan from
his office. He then told the other
members Of the commission what had
occurred, he said. He averred that
the proffer was made by gamblers
who wished to protect their Dempsey
wagers, fearing that some Of the
eligibles might lean to Tunney II the
J fight was close.
Prehn also insisted that Dave
Barry. who became famous for thu
long count while Tunney was on thu
canvas, had no previous knowledge
that he was to referee-in fact Prehr
said, Barry was 'flabbergasted ans
turned pale when I handed him TIL
assignment"
Prehn related the incident yester'
day In telling Of the troubles encoun
tered by the Illinois state athlete
commission which he headed unit

BY n L. RRE

Philadelphia. Aug. Art Shires.
baseball's freshest rookie. strolled out
from the visitors bench at Shibe park.
dragging his bat behind him. The
White Sox were getting ready to play
the Athletics and the bell had rung
giving the Sox the field for batting
practice.
Shires strolled to first base and
gave the stands a good once over
and he was given a big hand by the
crowd. He reached into n of his
rear pockets and extracted a fresh
sack Of scrap eatin' tobacco. He
damned the whole sack in one side
Of his face and went behind the bat
ting cage.
The Philadelphia players were in
the shade Of their dugout ducking
the rays Of the summers hottest sun.
Only Mickey Cochrane. Jimmy Dykes
and Eddie Ronnmel were visible. They
were at ease on the top step Of the
dugout. where a flock of bats were
spread out In military order.
Passing the Razz
The three of them were giving the
berry to Shires. 1t must have been
good-natured berry. because they
we're all laughing. Cochranc was do
ing most OF the talking, and it devel-
oped that he was telling Shires he
didn't have enough tobacco in his
| face.
Shires went over in front OF the
Athletic dugout and squatted on his
bat. Peals Of laughter poured from
the Philadelphia bench. and Shires
stood up. The fans stood, also, to see
what was to occur.
Shires pulled another fresh pack of
scrap from his other hind pocket and
jammed II in the other side Of his
face. And the act went over great.
It was a demonstration that John
McGraw classes and resents as frater-
nizing. He deplores evidence that the
new breed of ball player is ~softening
up. He harks back to the old days
when visiting ball clubs had to ride
to the park amid a shower of bricks
and antique eggs and tomatoes.

Early Valley development was
done by placing huge tracts Of raw
land on the market, often without
even provision for irrigation. Later,
every development included organi-
zation for irrigation and still later
the irrigation works were under
taken before the land was sold. "A
still later development. and one
which still is being used and which
il proving highly satisfactory to
both the seller and buyer. is To clear
