Owens And Baer
BoOed By Fans

PORTLAND, Ore. April 7. UR)-
Raucous "razzberry horns" mingled
with booes at the auditorium here
last night as "California" Max Baer
beat Easy" Ernie Owens of Los
Angeles in the second round of a
scheduled l0-round main event
bout.
Owens either was frightened or
was party of the second part in
what many fans thought was just
another built-up fight for the clever
fast-stepping Baer-the butcher boy
of Livermore, Cal.
Many of the s3 boys at the ring
side left saying ugly words before
Referee Tom Mouttit awarded Baer
a technical knockout, even though
Owens did not appear to have been
socked to his knees.
The wonder grew how Owens
stayed 10 rounds with Baer a year
ago in Los Angeles. He looked
helpless before Baer's speed and
powerful shoulders and long reach.
Baer's weight was announced as 1877
pounds and Owens at 18s.
The preliminaries saved the pro-
gram. Fans howled their delight as
Red RAIDER, 167, San Francisco, beat
Cowboy Brooks, 165, Dallas, Texas,
in six rounds. They were SO tired in
the fifth round from slugging that
they were seated in their corners
before the bell sounded.

DadO TrOunced
By Judy Zuniga

LOS ANGELES, April 8. U.n)-
Judy Zuniga, less than year out
of Glendale High School, and
never having faced a tough op-
ponent, sprang the fistic upset Of
the year when he trounced Speedy
Dado, Filipino bantamweight, and
won a round decision at Olym-
pic Auditorium last night.
Zuniga's only other appearance
at Olympic was as a preliminary
fighter, yet he waded into the for
mer state bantam champion. over
came an early lead of Dado's, and
wound up by knocking his oppo-
nent to the canvas in the final
canto to win Referee Billy Burke's
decision.
Zuniga probably will be matched
with Newsboy Brown for the Cali
fornia 1ls-pound title, now held by
the latter.

bouts with Pete Sariemento here
during the winter will face even
tougher going Friday night when
he faces Young David. another Fill

Colima and David are booked for
the main event, and by all the signs
of past performances. the affair
should be real thriller. Both boys
are fast, they can hit. take it when
the going gets rough, and they
know plenty about the fine points
of boxing.
David is a real fighter. In fact
he puts so much into his work that
he burns himself out quickly un-
less he is in the best of shape.
David's path in the roped arena has
not been an easy one and illness at
critical times in his career has kept
him from being up III the big
money. He has been a hard luck
fighter. but those who know abili-
ty when they see 1t hope that Lady

INGRAM FACING
TOUGH TASK IN
TRAINING BEARS
BY VINCENT MAHONEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERKELEY, Cal. April s. U.P)-
California Bill" Ingram, pretender
to a lofty throne, looked ahead to-
day and saw a great many cracked
heads between him and coronation.
The newest member of the Pa
cific Coast lodge of transplanted
eastern and mid-western football
coaches has reached the halfway
mark in spring training and paused
to survey the ground he has
covered
He has found out, he said
That he has undertaken a large
job.
That so far as football system is
concerned, at this writing he has
neither fish nor fowl.
That CALIFORNIA; S golden day is
near.
That the Pacific Coast football
loop is going to furnish some very
tough football in the next five
years.
Ingram is frankly worried about
the size of his squad Out of
student body containing ,2000 or
more males, he thinks he should
get more material. Looking to-
ward the future, he has concerned
himself more with shaking the
bushes for holdouts than with
driving the faithful few. If Ingram
keeps up his missionary work, the
campus will see a sight unpreced-
ented since the days of Andy
Smiths wonder teams a squad
of 200 to 800 in September, he
believes.
There is little chance of Califor-
mia playing Ingrams kind of game
next fall To the considerable diff
ficulty of teaching neophytes is
added the mountainous task of un-
teaching several dozen seasoned
performers who learned the system
taught by "Nibs' Price, whom In
gram succeeded.
I'm have TO decide within the
next few weeks" Ingram said,
whether to abandon for a year
some of the more complex maneu-
vers of my so-called system Its
abandonment may be necessary on
the theory that. what with the
learning and unlearning necessary,
the team would not be able to as
simulate it in time. If I stuck by
my system and kissed goodbye to
several early season games, I be-
lieve we'd hit late season peak
that would give Stanford plenty of
trouble.

The Manobo. looking upon the star
strewn heavens over the Mindanao tuBs-
gle, has built up through the centuries
his own framework of mythology to &c
count for celestial phenomena
Perhaps the lovliest creation OF hts
fancy is his explanation of the origin IT
the stars and of sunrise and sunset.
Says Caravan
at is said that in olden time ths
sun and the moon were married. They
led peaceful life, and two children
were the result of their wedlock. One
day the moon had to attend to one OF
the household duties that fall to tina
lot of women-some say to get water
and others say to get the daily supply
Of food from the little farm. Before de-
parting she crooned the children to
sleep and told her husband to watch
them, but not to approach them, lest
by the heat Of his body he might harm
them. The sun, who never before had
been allowed to touch his BARNS, gazed
upon them fondly and, bending down,
kissed them. But the intense heat that
issued from his countenance melted them
like wax. Upon perceiving this he wept.
and quietly betook himself to the ad-
joining forest in great fear of his wife.
THE moon returned, but found only
her children's lifeless forms. In the
wildneSS Of her grief she called upon
her husband. He gave no answer, but
finally, softened by her loud plants, he
returned to his house. At the sight of
him her wild cry of grief and despair
.redoubled, until finally the husband, I'M

Respect for Animals.
"There Ia" says Caravan, "a very Pc
culiar Difference toward members Of the
animal kingdom. They must not be

shown disrespect. This applies particu-
larry to creatures who enter q human
haunt contrary to their usual custom.
To laugh at them would provoke the
anger of the thunder goddess. If they

promptly. A really good hunting dog

life"
One penalty for angering the thunder
goddess in this way, the Manobos be-
lieve, Is to be turned to stone. Thus
they explain rock formations with a
human appearance. Thus. recounts

TRAMP STEAMERS
! OUSTED BY LINERS
London Survey Shows Loss
of Trade, Except Wood,
to Scheduled Ships.

~ the Associated Press. >---T
LONDON, August l5s--The tramp
steamer, which used to nose its way into
the strange ports Of the world in the
hope Of finding cargo. probably will
soon join the sailing vessel IN near-ex-
tinction.
A calculation made in London shows
that liners, both passenger and cargo,
running on scheduled routes and times,
as contrasted with the tramp, comprise
about 20 per cent Of the worlds ton
mage. Liners totaled but SO per cent Of
the worlds tonnage IN 1918.
The change has been particularly no.
ticeable in the port of London, where,
outside the timber trade. there are now
very few tramps, as compared with pre-
war days. Nearly everybody prefers TO
send goods In parcels" Of up to 10000
tons or more on one Of the regular line
ships.
Canadian grain, for instance, used to
cross the Atlantic and Pacific in tramp
steamers. Now q large part comes
across the oceans in fast cargo liners
or in the holds of passenger ships.
the North Pacific, formerly tramp
area, and even the River La Plata ports
are now on the schedules Of the liners.
Sea life IN general has been changed
considerably by the shift from tramp
steamer to liner. The seaman no longer
signs on the voyage mot exceeding two
years." but can tell his wife almost to
the day when he will return. Jobs are
steadier, for cargo liners stick to their
schedules.
But with the passing Of the tramp
steamer pass some Of the last vestiges
of the pioneer spirit Of the seamen Of
another day.

The creation Of the world is at
tributed to Makalidung, the first great
Manobo, who set it up on posts, like the
Manobo house itself, or one great post
in the center. He lives at this central

Why Sun Follows Moon.
'"Then the husband became angry
again and, selling some taro leaves
that his wife had brought from the
farm. cast them in her face and went
his way. Upon his return he could not
find his wife, and so it is to this day
that the sun follows the moon in an

It is, too, that the stars are scattered in

The rainbow Is considered an mex
plicable manifestation Of the gods Of

appearance Of the rainbow is held to be
an indication that the war gods, with

the land Of death, have gone forth in
search Of blood. If red predominates
among the colors 1t is thought that the
mightier OF the war spirits are engaged
