OSWALT IDEAL FOR SHERIFF

IN choosing a sheriff-coroner for the
next four years, voters of Imperial coun-
ty should bear in mind that the office is
going to be more important than it ever
has been before, due to the expansion
which this community is certain to see as
result of construction of the Allan
erican canal.
Conditions will require man who is
thoroughly experienced and trained in
police work if the law enforcement de-
partment of the county is going to func-
ton efficiently and give maximum pro-
lection to life and property.
Personal likes and dislikes should be
cast aside and the candidates judged
solely on the basis of ability to fill the
office satisfactorily.
Already there is heavy influx of un-
desirables on their way to California.
Many of them are dangerous characters,
with no respect for the rights of others.
Imperial county, because of its position
as the entry way to the state, is bound to
get certain percentage of these unde-
sireables 1t will require a man trained
in police work to cope with them.
Chief Oswalt has given Ell Centre the
best police protection it has ever enjoyed
and his department can compare favor
ably with that of any city of similar size
in the country. He can give Imperial
county the same sort of protection if
elected sheriff. The improvements he
introduced into the local department can
be extended to apply to the county,
thereby affording residents in all parts
of the valley maximum of protection,
something to which they are entitled.
An unframed man in the office of the
sheriff is a dangerous experiment. The
people will run the risk until such time
as the unframed man can learn the ropes,
and in the meantime they pay for train
ing him.
Chief Oswalt has the respect and con-
fidence of peace officers throughout the
Southwest. He has courage, initiative,
tact and courtesy as highly desirable
assets. and his executive training makes
certain of an economical and efficient
sheriff's force if the people select him.

Gives Primo Two Rounds.

TRUE to his reputation, Baer was
an actor while in action, and a
clown as well, but first and FORE
most he was fighter, a savage, merci-
less bareback to the caveman era
when he wasn't just coasting to con-
serve his energy for the typical spurts
of tigerish ferocity.
Following that initial furious on
slaught in the opening round Baer
acted just as If he we're convinced he
could end the thing whenever he chose
and that's just about the truth Of the
matter
In the fourth and seventh rounds,
which alone we're credited to Carnera
on this observers score sheet. as well
as the ninth, which was even, it was
a plain case of Baer loafing AS for
that foul in the eighth, which Baer
forfeited as consequences, we did not
see it.
To the credit Of Camera it must be
said that he fought with grim and
unwavering courage. 1t well may be
doubted If he knew what it was all
about after that thorough roughing-
up he got at the outset. but he never
faltered save while reeling under the
effect of the solid smashes that Baer
landed seemingly at will.
Primo did practically all the lead
ing from the tap of the first gong
when he wasn't on the floor. He
pressed steadily forward. round after
round, poking that ponderous left of
his into the face of the nOnchalantly
retreating Baer for hopelessly futile
points
And in his dumb, ox-like way he
still was trying to carry on while out
on his feet, in fog of daze, when
Referee Arthur Donovan mercifully
owed him, possibly from being killed,

some Marty Gallagher, peren-

enter the ring tonight at Grit

against fistianas freakie S t

In spite of Martin williams record
of taking a full count only once dur
ing his seven-year professional career,
many critics conceded the squatty
ball of fat and muscle from New Jer-
sey an even chance of kayoing the
local heavyweight.
For no other scrap in the last two
years, however, has Gallagher been in
the shape he is for tonight's scheduled
10-rounder. Nearly three weeks of
hard training has shaved his frame
down to the 20O-pound mark, and his
waistline, which bulged and bounced
at the top of his ring trunks, Is trim
and hard with muscle.
Absorbing punches such as Galento
throws Is not a part Of every fight,
and Marty wisely has prepared for q
test few good heavyweightS are willing

Kay0ed Only BY johnson.

II AIRY JOHNSON, a good heavy
=. weight a few years back, is
credited with the only bona f1de
knockout of Marty, turning the trick
in Chicago several years ago. The
only othe blot of this variety on
Marty's record is a technical kayo by
Charley Retzlaff on the Schmeling-
Stribling card in 1881. In this in
stance, however, Gallagher was on
his feet at the finish.
Brown and Barry are only two Of
many who have been rocked into
Sunderland by Galentos terrific
punch. Ted Sandwina, Arthur De-
Kuh and K. o. Christner also heard
the birds after connecting chins with
Tony's punch. So famed has become
his hitting power that ranking
heavies dodge him right and left.
Gallagher, too, packs a punch but
either doesn't know how or doesn't
care to use it. Martyrs straight right
to the jaw is stiff but rarely does he
throw it, preferring to concentrate on
the body. In tonight's scrap that
body punching, though, may prove
hard on Galento, whose beer barrel
waist offers an ideal target.

right-hand uppercuts caused Baer to
do anything but make q derisive face.
Max alternately grinned and glared,
stuck out his tongue In -boyish con-
tempt and twitted his giant rival. He
flecked of Cameras iabs like q man
swatting harmless flies. He did every
thing but the tango as he circled or
slipped away from the Italian. Once,
when his footing seemed slippery, Max
deliberately went over to Cameras
corner and busily scraped his shoes in
the resin before resuming the fight.
Carnera at none Of the stages when
he was being most severely battered
took the advantage of long count.

when he recoiled and hit the floor
from Baer's punches did the time

There was a count of two for the
first knockdown, another for only one
second in the third and two short
counts lasting two and four seconds
in the tenth round. The bell at the
end of the tenth interrupted the four
second knockdown, which might have
been the last if there had been enough
time TO count the giant out.
Nearly Out in Tenth.
we WAS clearly at the end of his
II rope in this session. which
found even the referee confused
as to just what he intended to do
while Primo stood helpless, blood
pouring from his nose and lips. in
Baer's corner.
Cameras two trips to the floor in
the eleventh and final round were
more from his own weakness and
unsteadiness than from any greater
force in Baer's lunges or punches. He
sprawled once along the ropes after
being slugged with a right-hander
and he went down in the middle OF
the ring soon afterward from a half
push and half punch.
Altogether it was one Of the most
amazing performances ever witnessed
in a championship bout, alternately
comic with Baer's clowning and tragic
for the reeling giant who was trying
to ward of the inevitable with the
last vestiges of his physical equip
ment. All that Camera had left was
his bulk, and 1t was slowly being
beaten into insensibility at the finish.
