l934 Prize. Fighting Drama Is Saped
 By Max Baer's Comedy Relief Stunts
BUT WHAT NOW?. NO CONTENDERS. ARE AVAIL ABLE.
By JAMES B. RESTON .s oeisted Press Sports Writer)

(AG oeiSted Press Sports Writer)
 NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Boxing muddled through another dreary performance in 1884, and was saved by that eminent comedian, Max Baer. Av ru
 Baer brought the heavyweight championship of the world back to the United States by thrashing Primo Camera here last June in one of the most vicious battles in modern history. Maxie sent the Italian goliath spinning to the floor II times, cuffed and clouted him at will until the 11th round when the title changed hands on tech nical knockout.
 Baer prepared for this fight with comical indifference. He clowned through what was sometime known as a training period joked with the monster before and during the fight, but fought with such effec- tiveness against the Italian that all the other exhibitions of the year are as nothing in comparison.
 Boy, What Fighters.
 The other heavyweights fought with amazing ineffectiveness-when they did fight. Art Lasky, billed mcdestly by Madison Square Gar den as "the coming heavyweight champion Of the world refused in his two fights to justify his claim He labored with Steve Ham, as and lost disputed decision, and then could do no better than a draw with King Levinsky.
 Max Schmeling victory over Walter Neusel and his refusal to return here to prove that he is worthy of another chance to re- gain the heavyweight crown; and Carnera's decision to tour South America were blows to the game.
 Ross Outstanding
 Barney Ross stood out as the outstanding man in the lower di- visions. The lightweight champion did what no man has ever done before when he stepped out of his class to take the welterweight title from Jimmy McLarnin. Barney's reign in both divisions lasted only short time, however, for in return bout, Jimmy regained the title on an unpopular decision.
 Judging from the 1884 record of the other active titleholders, inac- tivity was the only way to save the crown. Vince Dundee lost his middleweight title to Teddy Yarosz in a 15-round decision in Septem- Der, Kid Chocolate retired from the

dore Roosevelt and Wilson. Seven married widows,
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson, Fillmore,
8 Harrison and Wilson, the last three taking widows
as their second wives
The wives Of Jefferson, Jackson, Van Buren, and
Arthur died before their husbands became president.

LOTS PROPOSED

AT the Monday meeting Of the
county board OF equalization, E, K.
Cumming, Charles Wise, and John
Thomas. receiver for Nogales Build
ing and Loan Association, appeared
and asked for a reduction of more
than half in the assessed valuation
Of city lots in their possession
They held that the lots were as
sessed many times above valuation
and not in proper proportion to
other city assessments. r. r. Frazier
favored the proposed reduction but
tho other two board members voted
to take the matter under advise
ment.
EIr. Wise told the board that he
would like to see the matter settled
st once.
Mr.. Cumming said that he thought
it was time that a fair assessment
of property be made.
hTr. Wise offered as proof Of his
contention that property was as
sessed out Of proportion. a cornparj-

There never was so much treasure assembled I'M

serve Banks Of the United States at the present time.
The stock OF monetary gold in this county last
week reached the enormous total Of $9O16,0OO,OOO.
At the time the monetary stock Of silver held
by the Treasury and the banks reached the total of
$815661 914 This is figuring gold at the present price
Of 35 an and silver at the long, established e
gal rate OF S1.29 an ounce.
Secretary Morgenthau reported few days ago
that since the passage Of the Silver Purchase Act Of
1884 the Treasury has bought 421 497 900 Of
silver It has not paid the monetary price of $129
ounce, but average Of about 73 cents an ounce I'm
der the law the Government must continue purchase
silver until it's stock Of silver bullion amounts to
third as much as its stock of gold
NO other nation has ever had as much gold in it's
treasury and its bank vaults have; probably
no other nation has had as much silver although
the British Government in India is supposed to have
On hand something Like 500 0OO0 ounces. There are
enormous boards Of gold in the treasures Of some of
the senllndependent states of India stores that have
been accumulatlng for thousand wears or more in
the Golfers Of the native Indian princes The three or
four richest in the world are said to be some of

Goes not get into general circulation nor form the

Wealthiest nation in the world

there little cause for worry about the credit Of the
