KL|CK, CANzONER|
POINT FOR HOT CO
Prestige of Each at Stake
in Shrine BattIe-TiIt
Over Dempsey.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

A MATTER OF prestige as much
~ as dough will inspire Tony
~ Canzoneri and Frankie Klick
to put forth their best as they
clash next Monday night at Griffith
Stadium in their 12-rounder, the high
SPOT OF the Shrine boxing show.
Klick sees in the fight q great
opportunity to redeem himself after
two defeats by Canzoneri and the
Junior lightweight champion plans to
throw everything he has into the
struggle.
Canzoneri. again In possession OF
the lightweight title, cannot well
afford to lower his colors to the
man he has twice trounced and may
reasonably be expected to show the
best in him to stave off the attack
Of a fighter he thoroughly respects.
Klick is striving to protect his In
terests in every way possible, so I'm
portant does he regard the match.
1t is this earnestness that led frankie
to appear with his manager Ray Car
len, before the District Boxing Com
mission this afternoon with the idea
of arriving at thorough under
standing with that body concerning
the choice of the referee for the bout.
Wants Referee to Know job.
FRANKIE did not contemplate
making an outright objection to
the employment OF Jack Dempsey, Sc
lected Saturday by the Shrine Boxing
Committee to be the third man in the
ring, but wanted assurance that the
District commission would see that
the former world heavyweight cham
pion was thoroughly versed in the
conduct and the Judging of f1ght.
There's positively no objection to
Dempsey personally" said Klick to-
day. II know Jack to be as honest
as they come. Also conscientious.
But faulty off1ciating in past bouts
with both Canzoneri and Barney Ross
cost me thousands of dollars and
possibly title. Before I step into
the ring against Tony next Monday
I want to be assured of at least an
even break in the officiating.
This shot against Canzonefi means
everything to me-" Klick explained.
Il can't afford TO tumble it. Dempsey
is q grand fellow and all that. But I
want to know he's qualified to handle
the bout"

RAW FUR MARKET
IS Reported By BEoKMAN BROS. RAW FURs

As Reported By BECEhGAN BROS. RAW FUBs
CORP, March 2, 1855.
During the past week trading IN the raw
fur market has turned very dull
Prices have eased considerably and even
fine Eastern section muskrats suitable for
seal dyeing, which had previously been quoted
from s14o to $3.50 each, we're available in
large lots at S1.25 TO $1.35. The sale Just
completed In Winnipeg showed q drop in the
price OF wolf, and other articles we're easier
in price as well.
Due to the springy appearance Of skunk
that are fresh caught. prices are being dis
counted on all markets.
The best raw fur markets for the trapper
stiIl prevails in the West as many dealers
are not posted on the exact price recession
and are still taking on skins at q higher level
than can be obtained in the open market
today
Buying conditions are such that fur houses
taking on quantities Of furs at this time from
local buyers and some trappers can only do
so on q speculative basis as It Is impossible
to obtain rapid turn over at today's prices.
While some interest has developed in beaver
and prices are reported to have advanced ap-
proxtmately ten percent, this advance is really
Of no great Importance, as former price levels
were the lowest they had been In many, many
years OF trading, and In order to obtain
reasonable price level, beaver would have to
advance fully double in price. In view Of the
large carr yover stocks this sort Of occur
renee is hardly to be expected.
Trading range Of prices for good quality,
fresh caught skins that are well furred is as
follows:
Coyotes extra fine. $500; Coyotes, fresh
caught, $3.50 to $3.50; Weasel, white large,
35 cents TO rs cents; Badger, ordinary, $3.50
to 90; Badger, fine, Sl1.00 to $3.50; Musk
rats, selected sealers, 80 cents to s1.15; Musk
rats, average, so cents to 80 cents; Skunk,
40 cents to 65 cents; Mink, choice, $500;
Mink, $500 to s4.00 Lynx cats, $500 to $500;
Beaver, extra large and large, $3.50 TO $3.50;
Beaver, medium and small s2.00 TO $500;
Jackrabbits, per pound is cents.
