MARA WILL HAVE ID SHOW PROOF
Sports Promoter Has Failed in Two Days Of Suit in Courts

New York. Nov. tUP)-Timothy (Big Hearted TimJ Mara, sports promoter, probably will have 10 show what services he rendered Gene Tunncy before he is awarded any of the $4O5,000 for which he is suing the retired worlds heavy weight champion.
 Two days of trial have failed to bring this out, Mara denied Tun- ncy'5 contention that he was hired to "straighten out angles in con- noction with proposed Dempsey Tunncy fight in New York. Tunney claimed the promoter was to per suade members O. the New York boxing commission 10 allow him to meet he champion instead of matching Dempsey with Harry Wills negro contender, as the con- mission seemed determined to do.
 But had Mara admitted this was his part of the contract he would have had to admit he failed, as the fight was held in Philadelphia. So far Mara has failed 10 bring out just what services he did render.
 Mara scored heavily, however. when he produced a letter from Tunney written in Hollywood June 6, 1926. in which Gene said;
 "Of this you can be sure, you will receive } per cent Of all moneys earned by the exploitation Of Gene Tunney after he wins the champion ship from Jack Dempsey on Septem- Der 1G, 1926"
 Letters and telegrams which pass cd between the litigants were intro duced in court yesterday. tending to give evidence Of the existence of a contract by which Mara was 10 re ceive 1 Q per cent of Tunney's share of the Dempsey-Tunney fight and 25 per cent Of his earnings thereafter. Incidentally, they gave some in tercsting sidolights on the making Of a champion, and how he was surrounded by managers and pro- motors who each got q slice of his earnings.
 Tunney, it seemed. had signed away 75 per cent Of his earnings. After he won the championship and the claims started coming in, Gene realized how small his share was, Mara testified.
 He paced the floor and ran his hands through his hair" Mara stated. "and said: How can l afford to pay you 25 per cent, and one third 10 Gibson. his manager. and 25 per cent on that other contract Gib- son made ne sign in Philadelphia? I have to 20 out and slave and toll 10 protect my hands and then get nothing while you fellows get every thing. No. I won't do it."
 In the correspondence was a let ter from Gene 10 Mara in which he said that as a cham pion he would dedicate himself ito the boys of America, making strength and cour- ago mean something 10 them"
 In another letter. written before Gene won the heavyweight crown, Gene said: The pugilistic conditions around New York have me guessing.

Twenty-Five years ago you hard L. lJ expected to see billiard room in a Y. M. C. A. Ten years ago the game of pocket billiards was so popular that the members of the "Y" could not conceive O it dying out, and five years ago no one would nave ventured a prediction that a rubber ball game would take the place of the old ivory ball game. Now the unexpected has happened and the green baize topped tables have been removed from the game room Of the local Y. M C. A. and replaced with the green putting sur faces of a miniature golf course. Thus do tastes in amusements change with the times. The old or der shifts and, in the case of the rev diversion, they have shifted ! with a rush, after being introduced in the east.
 Veteran golfers arc amazed at the public interest in these putting courses. It is estimated that there are 10000 of them in this country alone. People who did know a put ter from a nblick a few months ago are today fairly expert in the use of these two clubs in negotiating the hazards of the pee-wec layouts.
 Opinion is divided as 10 what eff feet the little course popularity will have on regular golf. Some observ- CTS have expressed apprehension that the etiquette of the game will be ruined when the mob of minia- ture golf players graduate to the regular game.
 Others feel that there need be no fear in that direction-that the cus- toms of golf are too well establish. ed to be disturbed by any new in Aux of novices with poor golfing manners.

The very perishable nature of
fruits, vegetables and meat carried
with it a natural tendency to shift

When the bullock is ready, good

in the very heart of production we
have big terminal markets to which

The retailers go to this point for

been made to place the products of

Fresh meat and vegetables are

Notwithstanding the history of the
business in other sections of the
country, and also in the face Of
the marketing of other perishables.
Marked changes come about
slowly and that is the way it should
be. All the marketing plans should
be weighed with the greatest de-
gree Of care in order to make sure
that we are really progressing. In
a general way, anything that adds
to the cost of distribution hurts the
industry as a whole.
Cattle Situation
Our new census will show an
enormous increase in population in
the western states. The people
want meat every day and are will
ing to pay a reasonable price for
quality. Nobody wants to see the
prices 90 back to the old unprofit-
able levels and there is no good
reason for it. But we must keep
in mind that the Production of
meat food is a business and that
the popular kind is well finished,
lightweight cattle. The heavy
weights are seasonal and season
al product is often difficult to sell.
Feedlot finishing in the western
states is comparatively a new thing,
but it is a step in the right direc-
ton, in order that we may have an
all-year-round supply. There is
nothing to get panicky about be-
cause 'up and downs are the natur-
al working out of inexorable laws.
The best anybody can hope to get
out Of the cow business is fair

fellow who gets out at the low

is just out of luck and will never
make dependanble source of sup
ply nor do himself or the industry
any GOOD.
