TRICKY FIGHTER
WINS DECISION
OVER FAVORITE

CHICAGO, April %. U.P-Daye
Shade, the bobbin', weavin Cali
fornian who has been fighting
since he was Is. undoubtedly knows
more tricks of the boxing game
than any other active fighter.
He used many of them last night
to win a l0-round decision from
Jack Kilbourne, lanky Oklahoman
who holds the middleweight title
of Australia and has been hailed
as the next 160-pound champion.
Shade weighed 160&, Kilbourne
l59. The attendance was 1000 and
the net receipts $4743.
Since he started boxing four
round bouts around San Francisco
in 1918. Shade has engaged in
some 400 ring battles. Shade came
about as close to winning a title
as a man can come and not win it.
That was in 1925 when he fought
Mickey Walker for the welter-
weight championship. Shade won
round after round and then
Walker finished strong in the last
two rounds of a 15-round bout and
retained his title by strange de-
cision. Walker would never fight
Shade again after that.
Shade didn't land a half dozen
blows last night against Kilbourne.
He bobbed and weaved and took
his exercises while Kilbourne
missed and famed the air with his
long arms trying to find Shade.
Shade had a Slight cut under
his left eye, and he was SO effec-
tive in making Kilbourne miss that
he came out of the bout without
having the wound reopened. Kill
bourne tried for three rounds to
open the cut with a left jab and
finally gave up.

IN TODAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press staff Correspondent


NEW YORK. April %. - There
have been some very high class
rumors flying around about the
difficulties between Boss Elephant
Herder Jacques Curley and his
pet Jumbo, jim Londos. but the
first official confirmation Of the
breach came on yesterday when
Curley grabbed himself a micro
phone and proceeded to give off
a radio speech.
Once warmed TO his task Curley
wasted no words, minced no mat
tiers. What wrestling needs he
said. is an eye-tahan champeen.' -
There was only one way 10 in
terpret this straight-from-the-
shoulder message. What wrestling
needs and what Curley is looking
for Is grunt-and-groaner who
can take the very Greek Mister
LondoS by the seat of his trousers
and toss him into the far reaches
OF the balcony-the top of the
balcony. if possible.
Wen, let's see il we can't help
Curley in his time of need. My
suggestion Of a means of pulling
the royal purple off Brother
Londos is TO throw him in there
in shooting match with ca Jack
Sherry; Cb) Dick Shikat; (c) Hans
Steinke: (dD John Pesek; (e) a
couple of other guys whose faces.
muscles. hoWlS and grimaces I
know, but whose names escape my
spring fever ridden mind.
A shooting match. in case
you are not up or the argot of
the wrasslin' racket, is
match that's dead on the level;
match where the best man
and not the man who is in best
with the powers that be wins.
OF course, a shooting match be-
tween Londos and one of the
rugged characters I suggested prob
ably would be a very dreary affair
For when a couple of wreStlerS get
in there on their own they usually
hit the mat and stay there for the
better part of the evening, with a
minimum of this billy goat butting
dirigible hoists, airplane swings,
three quarter interlocking time
and-a-half heaveS over the ropes,
which are so dear to the customers.
II Might Pay
But if it was advertised as being
strictly on the up and up it prob
ably would pay. Wrestling fans
love a novelty, you know.
Right after that part of his
speech in which he cut loose with
a flood of startling statistics prov
ing wrestling originated, not in
Egypt but in Rome, and tina.
wrestling was the cheapest of all
sports inasmuch as all a competi-
tor needed was pair of trunks,
good hands, a strong body and
keen mind Curley revealed why
wostling needed an "eye-talian
champeen."
The Greeks" Curley said in q
voice that threatened the Red
White -and-Blue network with dis
aster, have not rallied to Londo5
in the manner they should have.
The same can be said about the
Germans when Shikat held the
title, and the Poles when Wladek
zbyszko spelling not guaranteeO
ruled the matmen."
Boiled down TO its essential oils,
that Londos had been champion SO
long that the Greeks were a trifle
bored and refused to run and leave
the hamburger burning on the hot
plate every time he arrived III
town.

 At no time in the history of our country have we needed real states manship; statesmanship of unfail- ing calibre, devotion to duty and integrity as the Republican admin istratiOn has given America these trying years.

relief of indigent and care of de- pendent children would not have to be curtailed due to lack of funds that he clearly foresaw as inevit able unless some such economies were instituted and kept in force.
 Defeatists Oppose Him
 He was opposed by defeatists at every point. Officials from whom he had every right to expect sup port, fought his program. Seeking to place his office before the pub lie in light to indicate it was use less, and extravaganza in itself, and of no value as a territorial in stitution, they have refused co-op- eration and have sought to dis credit the Auditor and impugn his motives.
 Yet the sole matter in controver- Sy has been one of economy. and today it is freely admitted by all concerned that the harm has been done and our surplus has been spent. The damage has been far reaching and has placed upon those officials who contested the authority of the Auditor to balance the budget after the Legislature had adjourned, very serious re- sponsibility. The records of the Auditors office show that the reve- nue, including the surplus exists Ing two years ago, for this bienni- um are less than the appropria- tions made by the 1881 Legislature by quarter of million dollars.
 The Effect is Harmful The result has been, and is, just what MT. Cole predicted. Allot- ments for schools for next year are endangered if not actually made impossible. Funds for aged pio- neers, men and women who have labored for the advancement of Alaska for almost a lifetime. are curtailed so greatly that many must go without the assistance promised to them by the Legisla ture at various times. The needy must look to private charity for aid TOT territorial funds for that pur- pose are exhausted. Road work by the Territory has been altogether discontinued, thus depriving many or employment that they cannot nope to get from private industries under existing economic conditions !
