Kicks Luck All Bad,

CUPERSTITION always has been
> prominent in the fight game and
a third, if rather vague, reason
for liking Klick revolves around the
old law of averages. Klick prob
ably is one of boxing's most jinx-
pursued scrappers. After a sensa-
tional start in 1882 and a successful
year in 1888, which was featured bv
q seven-round knockout over Kid
Chocolate, Klick ran into hard luck
last year. From out of nowhere
frankie Wallace appeared on the
scene and eked out a 10-round deci-
sion. Then Klick went right back
and fought Barney Ross to a draw
fight on the Coast. He seemed,
finally, on the road to success.
Beaten by Canzoneri as a young
ster, Klick tackled Tony again in 1884
and was holding his own for nearly
nine rounds. Then a glancing blow
opened wicked eye cut and the
fight was stopped. In the record books
1t goes down as knockout and
kayoes do not help to build up a
reputation. With his eye to hamper
him-and it still opens easily-Klick
then dropped a decision to Cleto Lo-
catelli but gamely fought his way out
of the rut by giving Harry Dublinsky
thorough going over. That was in
November, 1884. His only start since
then was in Miami last Winter when
he narrowly missed outpointing Bar
ney Ross.
A little luck along the line and it
might have been Klick who battled
and beat Arnbers for the title. Any
way, Klick thinks he is due a break
from Lady Luck and there are many
who agree.
Both fighters are to begin training
this week. Canzoneri is making his
headquarters at his spacious Marl-
boro, N. Y, farm" while Klick will
start at the Pioneer gymnasium in
New York. frankie is slated to COM
plete training here two weeks prior
to the fight. Canzoneri is expected
here a week before the battle.

H0NORS DIVIDED
IN EQUINE SHOW
Bruce, Doak, Walker, Riggs
Horses Take Ribbons
at Doughregan.
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, Jr.,

~ OUGHREGAN MANOR, Md.
May 18.-On the same cush-
ioned turf where their fore
fathers rode in pre-Revolu-
tionary days, the hunting folk of How
ard County put twoscore 1885 model
cross country horses through their
PAGES here today before a crowd of
$500 that overhowed the lawns of
this historic estate.
Once the property of Charles Car
roll, one of the Free States signers
of the Declaration Of Independence,
the handsome manor grounds offered
an ideal setting as the men, women
and children who hunt the fox in
Maryland gathered to show what
their favorite mounts could do.
There were no signs of fat and
pampered show pets around here in
any of the 20 classes, but some good
horses to hounds were on hand to be
beaten and few would ask for better
transportation in the field than could
be supplied by such stout fencers as
Col Sloan Doak's Octavia and Howard
Bruce's Royal Mystery. the outstand-
ing winners of the day.
Octavia Has Big Day.
NCTAVIA won the ladies' hunter.
and touch and out classes, and
was placed second to Royal Mys-
terry in the contest for qualified hunt
ers. after having beaten that one by a
narrow margin in the ladies' division.
Royal Mystery not only accounted for
the two hunter ribbons, but scored
handily amongst group OF thorough
bred saddle horses in the morning
session.
Both Mr. Bruce and Col. Doak were
on hand to revel in the victories they
achieved. but neither of them could
have been prouder than Augustus
Riggs, Sd, M. F. H. of the Howard
County Hounds, who for the third
year saw a hunter from his stables
run over all opposition in the class
limited solely to Howard County
hunters. BY f1uke, the triple triumph
did not cinch ownership of the T.
Stockton Matthews Trophy awarded
IN this class, although it is supposed
to become the permanent property of
any one winning it thrice. The trick
was that Mr.. Riggs son, Augustus
Riggs, 4th, who had the leg up on the
winning Fayaway for his father today,
entered the 1884 victor in his own
name. Young Riggs also had an entry
OF his own this afternoon. and with
the turn matters have taken now. the
trophy race apparently has narrowed
down to a father-and-son affair.

Trails Only in Jump.

NNLY in the broad jump, his fav-
~ vorite event, did the Buckeye
speedster disappoint a crowd of
1000 spectators. They came out to
see a world record, but were only
partly satisfied when he won the
event with leap of rs feet, lie
inches. His broad jump obliterated
the former meet record of % feet,
8 5-8 inches, established by John
Brooks, Chicago Negro. in 1882. His
time in the 220-yard dash erased
the standard for the meet of 215 sec
onds, set by Buckeye star of other
days, George Simpson.
Owens brilliant performances pro-
vided 20 of Ohio States total of SEA
points. Wisconsin, packing its punch
in the quarter mile, high hurdles and
field events, was second with 5434
points; Northwestern had 33A, and
Chicago wound up with 4ha.
He achieved his brilliant accom-
plishment in the century without the
aid of starting blocks. and with just
a suggestion of a breeze at his back.

WEST SIDER PRESENTS
CASE FOR HIGH DAM

More and more residents of the
west side are relizing the import
ance of the Grand Coulee dam to
the entire state.
The Port Angels News throws in
its lot for the high dam, and pre-
sents this brief for the high dam in
these succint words:
''Now let's get our facts straight.
The low Coulee dam will develop
nothing but power, and leave the
government with nothing, but a
monter dam in the center Of an arid
farming district-all dressed up
and no place to go. So this writer is
going sto join forces with those Of
eastern Washington who demand
that the high dam be constructed so
there will be at least the beginning
af market for this new power. So
long as millions of wheat, corn. but
ter, eggs hogs, hay and other farm
produce are being imported from
foreign lands, there is room for new
farms in the State of Washington.

So long as there is draught, eros
ion, dust storms and crop failures
in other parts of the United States
there is need of reclaiming of new
lands in Washington state in irrigat
ed sections where crops never fail.
If it is good business to send humid
reds of United Statescitizens into a
far-off project in Matanuska, away
from any possible market for their
produce, it is good business to send
thousands to reclaimed eastern
Washington farm region. So long
as a start has been made, build the
dam-high, jack an the game
