When John C'The xBarber")

took to reminiscing and declared
that I fought once under his man
Agement, hustled West, and was
not seen by him again until I went
East two years later with Jack
Kearns as my manager.
That's a little wrong. .
The first time went East was
with Jack Price managing me.
He was a Salt Lake City pal. His
bankroll was so slim that we
came upper berth all the way
both Of us in one upper! And Jack
RS0!
We never aimed for New York
when we started. Jack thought
he could get me fights in Den
yer or Kansas City. But nobody
would hire me. Same thing in
Chicago. 1t was a case Of turn
back or make a try in New York.
We decided to take q shot
at New York. After q long
IOafing spell / got a crack at

as I recall the Jack Rice re
port, were SGT. A while later
I was sent against wild Burt

This inning saw the withdrawal
of Babe Clapper. who had pitched
excellent ball until the fourth, and
the insertion of Blackie Adair.
Blackie Stemmed the tide. but the
damage had been done.

found himself and held the Dixies
scoreless from the third on, with
the exception of the seventh,
when an error allowed Joseph,
who had doubled, to sore.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Sept.
3.-Weakened physically by illness
and facing the open hostility Of the
leaders of his party, President
Hipolito 1rigoyen appeared today to
face a possible resignation of his
cabinet, and a well-backed demand
that he himself resign from office or
be temporarily relieved of his duties.
1t was rumored in Buenos Aires
early today that the resignation Of
the entire cabinet had been for
warded to the President. He already
had received the resignation of the
minister of war, General Luis
DeIlepiane.
Political quarters said that if the
President accepts the cabinets
resignation, members of the radical
party. of which Irigoyen is the
nominal head, would demand that
the President resign and would form
a government from their own party
with Vice President Enrique Mar
tinez as the chief executive.
It was learned from reliable
sources that Martinez and prominent
radicals had decided to demand the
Presidents resignation. Martinez
also is president of the senate.
