Johnson ScOrns
Present Boxers

ALBUQUERQUE. N. M, Aug %
U.P)-As far as Jack Johnson. for
mer heavyweight champion of the
world from 1910 to 1915, is concern
ed. the present crop of heavyweightS
are just -four Zeros."
Schmeling isn't so hot, the big
negro believes. Sharkey and God
frey should be able to beat Schmel-
ing. johnson believes.
Sharkey is the next logical con-
tender with Schmeling for the
worlds championship in the opin-
ion of johnson.
Walker isn't a better fighter than
Sharkey, he thinks.
At least for the present, Strib-
ling is out of the picture, although
Johnson admits you can never tell
these days what will happen.
The former champion recalled his
fight in Las Vegas with Jim Flynn
in 1912 He said he tried to find
the place where the fight took
place when he went through there
recently, but was unable to locate
the place.
Jack Kearns is the greatest fight
manager the world has ever known,
johnson claims.

Indian Fighters
Remain Unpaid

PHOENIX, Ariz., Aug. % U.P)-
Anton Mazzanovich, aged west
erner who trailed and fought Apa-
ches throughout New Mexico and
Arizona, has charged the govern
ment with failure to compensate
those who repelled the Redmen in
the last Indian uprising.
Mazzanovich, now a well known
author of pioneer days. has vouch-
er for S36.50-all he ever received
for fighting Apaches, and he still
has it because the government new
er provided for honoring it.
The voucher was issued by the
governor Of the territory Of New
Mexico and Mazzanovich feels the
government should pay off all such
vouchers as the Apache was fought
on federal soil before Arizona and
New Mexico became states.

Report A. B. W.
Club To Close

Heavy losses resulting from a
higher license fee and lack OF pa
tronage, has brought about the
closing of the A. B w. club at
Mexicali, scheduled for September
/. according to reports from the bor-
der.
The club has been paying a con-
cession license of 100000 a month
TO the Mexican government in re-
turn for a monopoly on gambling
in Mexicah. In recent weeks gamb-
ling was started in other cafes and
this too helped to cut into the A.
B. w income.
Unless a new concession with
lower fee can be obtained. it is
planned to close the resort. which
has been a landmark in border cir
cles for many years. Known as
the Owl. it has been burned and
rebuilt several times.
Marvin Allen, lone survivor of the
firm OF Allen, Byers and Withing-
ton. which built the Owl. is report
ed as having plans to move to Ha-
waii when the Owl is closed.

Visitors At Jail
Must Not Smoke

Sheriff George L. Campbell has
instituted a cleanup campaign -
going on the assumption that an
ounce of prevention is worth whole
days sweeping.
So a new rule is in effect at the
county Jail. During visiting hours,
when prisoners are on one side of
a wire grating and their friends on
the other side, neither visitors nor
prisoners can smoke.
Not that the moral effect is bad,
said Sheriff Campbell, but the
trusty who cleans up the Jail has
been forced to work far into the
night on visiting days, cleaning
stray cigarette butts from places
where visitors and visitees stood.
And no one is going to stand for
working a good trusty overtime.

The laws applied to Indians who
came to town virtually naked in the

show, to curb the Indians in other
ways. Grass was grass to the In

Indications that the jury was far
from an agreement was seen when
one of the women jurors asked o
bailiff could we take a bus ride

A man juror asked 'if we might

after they have debated the ques-
ton a while longer, they will reach
an agreement. And the only pos
sible verdict will be not guilty"
Judge Stanley Murray refused TO
poll the jurors to determine the
nature of their impasse, and said
he would let them alone.
Alone, they apparently were not,

of them detected neWspaperman

Yet returning from dinner, they
were as one group, chatting among
themselves.
While Clark was confident of
verdict of acquittal, his attorney,
Leonard Wilson, saw a hung jury.
Special Prosecutor Joseph Ford was
equally confident of conviction.
Clark's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w.
