Comeback Staged
By Branding IRON

PUEBLO, Colo, March g. UP) -
The depression and the motor car
have brought the branding iror
back into Use in the west.
In the day of the open range
when cattle wandered at will, the
branding iron was the chief means
of protecting a ranchers stock.
Cattle from a dozen ranches
might be intermingled but the tell
tale brand enabled the owner to
pick his own steers.
But when the west was fenced,
the branding iron, in many cases,
fell into disuse.
A new type of cattle thief has
brought 1t back.
Cattle rustlerS ride trucks these
days, and they cut fences, rope a
few-three or maybe four steers or
calves from a herd, load them
aboard their trucks and speed away
Once gone, with unbranded cattle
there is no way to trace them.
So the cattlemen are again
branding their calves as a protec-
ton against the motorized rustler
who is especially active in these
days when money is even scarcer
than branded cattle.

AIR COOLING
SYSTEM MAY
BE OBTAINED

Ultimate installation of a central
cooling system in Ell Centro's new
$4,000 post office building is be-
lieved to be certainty as re-
suit of a telegram received today
from Congressman Phil D. Swing.
The telegram read as follows:
"Have promise of the supervising
architect to install air ducts in the
federal building. This must have
the formal approval CT the inter-
departmental board. Am hopeful
for final success"
| In discussing the matter today,
G.. c. jenkins. postmaster, said the
installation of the air ducts would
mean that the cooling system could
be placed in the completed building
without the necessity Of tearing
down walls and partitions.
This telegram brought the first
encouragement in the fight to pro-
cure the central cooling system for
the federal building. The Ell Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce and
many local citizens joined in the
battle to provide comfortable sum-
mer quarters for postal employees.

BOXING TITLES /
CHANCE HANDS.

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 3. - The
year 1888 finds an almost unprece-
dented number of boxing cham
pions coming into office along with
President-elect Roosevelt. In a
little more than two months, seven
new champions have been crowned.
Because of this trend, Jack
Sharkey probably is casting anxious
eyes at his world heavyweight belt.
He's a very superstitious fellow.
Other titleholders, such as Make
Rosenbloom and KID Chocolate,
share his anxiety.
The epidemic of "championitis"
started January 13 when Freddie
Miller, Cincinnati southpaW, wrest-
ed the N. B. AS featherWeight
title from Tommy Paul of Buffalo
by taking the decision in a 10
rounder at Chicago.
The same night Ben Jeby of New
York won recognition as middle
weight champion in New York
state by scoring a technical knock
out over Frank Battaglia of Can
ada. He succeeded to Mickey
Walkers discarded crown.
Gorilla Jones, colored boxer of
Akron, O., regained the N. B. AS
middleweight belt on January 81 at
Cleveland when he knocked out
Sammy Slaughter, Terre Haute
Negro, in the seventh round of
their final elimination match.
Battling Shaw of Mexico took
the junior welterweight title from
Johnny Jadick of Philadelphia by
winning the 10-round decision in
their bout at New Orleans ON Feb
ruary 81.
The next afternoon, Young Cor
bett, Fresno southpaW, annexed
Jackie Fields welterweight crown
with a 10-round verdict at San
Francisco.
Joe Knight of Cairo, Ga, was
handed the N. 3 AS light heavy
weight championship when the as
sociation vacated George Nichols
title, but Knight bequeathed it to
Bob Goodwin Of Daytona Beach,
Fla, Wednesday night, when he
dropped a 10-round decision to the
Floridian at West Palm Beach.
Make Rosenbloom, recognized as
light-heavyweight champion in New
York state, will defend his honors
against Adolph HeuSer, German
slugger, at Madison Square Gar
den a week from tonight. Many
boxing experts would not be sur
prised to see the German take the
title.

COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

United Press Staff COrresOciIueh'
NEW YORK, March 3. = When
Sir Malcolm Campbell returns 10
the United States in 1884 to at-
tempt to better his own worlds
land speed record of 272.108 miles
sn hour there is a strong possible
ity he will abandon the sands OF
Daytona Beach as a speedway IN
favor of the hard packed salt beds
of Utah.
This was learned during a con-
versation with Bill Sturm, pride OF
indianapolis, the British drivers
American manager. While visiting
Sturm, who was abed with the flu,
we asked if Campbell intended try
ing to boost the mark he estab-
lished in Daytona recently.
"He1l be back Sturm SAID:
"You might just as we'll try and
keep a mouse from cheese as pre-
vent Malcolm from running again.
That 300 miles an hour business
is in his blood, and he won't be
satisfied until he goes that fast
We asked Sturm if Daytona
Beach again would be the scene of
Campbells efforts.
"That don't know. Next year
is a long way off. Maybe W
maybe no."
One year ago Sturm, acting up
on orders from Campbell, set out
from Salt Lake City and, accom-
panied by a guide, made an ex-
haustive study of the great salt
beds which lie some 100 miles west
of that metropolis. What he found
was very encouraging. He found
great expanse of salt, 30 miles by
seven miles in area, with surface
as smooth and hard as the pro-
verbal billiard table.
Somewhere within this great
white expanse he found the perfect
| racing course-a cement-hard strip
more than IL miles long and sever
al hundred yards wide.
Net Affected BY Weather
And what is more important,
Sturm found the salt beds little al
fected by weather. They renamed
the same day in and day out.
They were not dependent upon the
wind nor the tides or the moon
for flawless surface.
Campbell was in Daytona Beach
three weeks this year, waiting 1or
the perfect wind and the perfect
tide TO whip the beach into per-
feet shape. The perfect wind and
perfect tide never arrived, so ne
was forced to drive over a surface
that not only endangered his life
and his car, but robbed him OF
many precious miles an hour. What
is more, the shells that Uttered the
beach chewed his tires almost to
shreds.
While the salt beds would ap-
pear to have many advantages over
Daytona Beach as a speedway, they
are not perfect. In the first place
!; the rain is likely to leave the sur
face of the salt rippled after the
/ manner of washboard. But for.
5 tunately, this ripply condition
, should it arise during a speed trial
could be remedied by nothing more
complicated than having plain
old fashioned road scraper make a
trip over the course.
The biggest handicap is their in
accessibility. 1t would require a
good deal of money for the equip
ment necessary for a speed trial.
While Mr.. Sturm did not say so
| we have very strong hunch that,
if Utah should happen to put up
enough of what the boys call the
old scratch, Sir Malcolm Campbell
will go for 300 miles. an hour in
1884 on the sun drenched salt beds
Of Utah instead of the crystal
sands of Daytona Beach.
