 STAGGERED THROUGH '28

nopolized the winter season. They furnished skirmishes almost de- void of thrills with only one real knockout and few surprises.
 The biggest disappointment was the showing of Jack Sharkey, tout ed until he met Dempsey as the next heavyweight champion. The Boston Cob fought a poor twelve round draw with Tom Heeney and was punched from the picture by Johnny hisko. the Cleveland Baker boy Sharkey knocked out Jack Delaney in one round, but the sole result of that strug- gle was an investigation by the State Athletic Commission. Shar- key wrenched his knee later and was out of action six months. Now he as agreed to fight young Strib- ling, object of the latest title boom, in Miami Beach, Fla, Feb ruary 27
 Heeney wou the Tunney "shot" by knocking out Jimmy Maloney, defeating Jack Delaney and John ny Risko, the latter in Detroit in October of 1927. Although Risko defeated George Godfrey, the cur rent Black Menace" the body beating he took in that match ap- parently impaired his effective ness. He dropped a decision recent ly to Jimmy Maloney in Boston
 Titles Not Cleared
 The battles of the year failed to clear the varied claims to the flyweight and bantamweight titles although Tony Cazoneri, former New Orleans bootblack. whipped Benny Bass of Philadelphia to win clear claim to the featherweight crown in February. Tony, one of the busy titleholders, dropped an overweight decision to Harry Blit- man, Philadelphia southpaw, whom Bass later knocked out, and in September lost the championship to Andre Routis of France.
 In the bantamweight division, minus champion since Charley Phil Rosenberg forfeited the title, Al Brown, negro slugger from Panama, fought his way to the top of the national boxing association rating while Bushy Graham. of Utica, N. Y, did the same thing in the realm of the New York State Athletic Commission. They never met.
 Recognize Schwartz
 Similarly New York recognized Izzy Schwartz as the flyweight title holder while the N. B. A. put the stamp of approval on Frankie Genaro. No bout could be arranged between them and Sehwartz's claim was dulled by de- feat at the hands of Spider Plad- ner, the French champion.
 Loughrsn steamed through the light heavyweights and disposed of Joe Sekyra of Denver, Jimmy Slattery of Buffalo, Leo Lomski. the Aberdeen assassin who floored him twice in the first round, and Pete Latzo, former welterweight titleholder. Tommy campaigned lightly among the heayyweights,

i NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Despite the absence of Jack Dempsey. the most colorful drawing card in lring history, the retirement of Gene Tunney, and the reluctance of most champions to defend their titles, Cauliflower, Pfd., did fair fly we'll for itself during 1928. I Only one champion, Tony Can- zoneri, lost his crown in the bat ties that ragged through the land. Joe Dundee, despite the pressure of both the National Boxing As sociation and the New York state athletic commission, failed to de- fend his title at all. But the les ser lights in all divisions, strug- gling fiercely to gain the lime light, furnished enough action to take the curse off one of the poor est outdoor seasons in ring history and keep the new indoor arenas in Chicago, Detroit, Boston and New York well filled.

MONTANA DIVORCE is HELD
INVALID IN THE PROVINCES

Lethbridge, ALTA divorce grant
ed in Montana courts, providing the
husband is domiciled in Canada is
not recognized in Canada, according
to a judgment just handed down here
by Chief Justice Simmons of the SUI
preme court of the province. The
Judgment was given in the suit of
Munroe against Munroe, which hinged
on the validity in Canada of divorce
granted in Montana.
Judge Simmons held that, according
to the English law, recognized in Ca
madam courts, the Montana divorce
did not hold good as Claude Munroe
the husband, was at that time domi-
ciled in Canada, an though his first
wife was in the United States, she
was by law domiciled in Canada, as
the domicile of the husband is thai
of the wife also. In that the parties
were domiciled in Canada and not il
the United States, the divorce granted
was accordingly invalid.

Benefits of School Activities
Mildred Nelson
1t should be the desire of every
pupil and patron to raise the stand
ards of the school in ones community
Just how it is to be done is another
thing. Cooperatin and school spirit
can be brought about through well dl-
rected school activities. School actl'
vities are not an interference tr
school work if they are well worked
out.
There has always been two sides tc
every question, and there always will
be as long as the world endures. We
see so often that people argue in &
circle and never know just definitely
what they are arguing. 1t takes sys'
tematic thought and knowledge to de
bate intelligently, so why not have g
debating club in our school where pu'
pills will get the right foundations fol
proper debate.
Doing has always been more effec'
tive than just reading. In life we dc
and act. Why not make our reading
and study more life-like by acting anC
studying the principles of self ex.
preston. Dramatic clubs for pupils
will satisfy that need.
Our great outdoors has many E
hidden pleasure for those who can SEE
with sympathetic eyes and hear with
ears that understand. But how shall
one know who has not heard. In adj
dition to a knowledge of nature there
is always the health element that en-
tiers into the question of the open air
There is need for Nature-study
clubs. Closely allied with this NIGH
come a physical education club tina
will teach the fundamentals of health
full living, morally and physically
Hiking with a purpose is always bene
fetal pastime.
We have at present some schoo
activities, but there must be some
thing wrong with them because the,
are not well attended, and we fee
that they do not reach enough stu
dents.
Let us talk up our school activitie
and build up a program which viii
take care of our wants and needs.

Says Canadian Farmers
Solve Relief Problem

Washington - (FP) - Canada's
wheat farmers, by forming the
great cooperative wheat-market-
pool which is now the worlds most
successful enterprise in that field,
have shown the way for effective
farm relief. This was the opinion
given the Senate committee on ag-
rIculture, March q, by G. w. Con-
nell, of the Minnesota Wheat Grow
ers Marketing Association.
Cornell presented the demands
of the National Wheat Pool Con-
ference at Kansas City, which ask
ed that surplus products of the
farm be Afforded the benefits of a
protective tariff through the Nc
Nary Haugen bill. He said that if
the sterilization features of this
bill were enacted into law. so per
cent of American wheat farmers
could be brought into the cooper
atives, and would thereby aid in
the process of stabilizing farm
prices.
