Sharkey VS.. Camera
TACK SHARKEY outpointed Primo
y Camera in 1881 and the Boston,
ian believes he can repeat the dose,
but it's the opinion of this column
that Sharkey is going to finish on
the losing end Thursday night when
the big fellows collide in New York
with the worlds title at stake.
Sharkey has been the better boxer
of the two by far and Cameras
record has been spotted, but the
Italian has learned something and if
he makes use of it the crown should
adorn his huge frame. Jack has
idled between bouts and it's hardly
likely his timing and punching will
measure up to former standards.
Many fistic followers were sur
prised when Jack failed to knock out
Camera two years ago. Satchel
Feet has improved, if reports are
true, and has youth, bulk and
reach in his favor. There will be
plenty of Sharkey supporters, how
ever, and Jack is exceedingly proud
of the title.
The Thursday feature fell down
on obtaining the usual amount of
ballyhoo for championship go. 1t
is being held too close to the Demp-
sey-promoted Baer- Schmeling scrap.

" grieved," said Representative byrns

Woods tall, spare figure and horn
trimmed glasses were familiar 10 an
House members. AS chairman OF the
Appropriations Committee during two

the day at committee work, on the
House floor or at the various depart

One Of the last speeches he heard In
the House was about himself. Repre-
sentative Woodrum, Democrat, OF VIZ
GINA praised him Friday as that great
warrior who can reason with such un-
erring logic and such forceful eloquence
on every topic on which he might en-
gage in debate except one-and that Is

SWITCHING CHARGE
AT SOUTH ST. PAUL
CUT BY AGREEMENT

AS a result of an agreement be-
tween the railroad companies and the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission, shippers of livestock to
South st. Paul will not be required to
pay switching charge of 81 per car
load to the St. Paul Bridge and Ter
minal Railway company after Novem-
Der %. By the same agreement, the
railroads will "absorb" or pay 81 OF
the $A65 switching charge per car
load applicable to the movement OF
livestock to the Cudahy Packing
plant near Newport and will pay In
full the charge of $3.50 per carload
on all shipments to the Mcmillan
plant on the upper levee.
A bill was passed by the last ses-
sion of the legislature to compel the
railroads to absorb" the switching
charges on all interstate shipments,
but the railroad and warehouse COM
mission did not deem it advisable to
attempt to enforce this law until at
ter the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, which had under Amusement
switching charges on interstate ship
ments, made its decision.
