- open revolt against the chick
en-feed purses they get COM
- pared with the sums reaped
by American fighters, are putting the
screws on promoters in London.
And the shrill cries of the promoters
can be heard for miles. 1t is, they
scream, mutiny.
The British promoters yowl that
only those crazy Americans" would
pay gold-ruSh prices that enable pro-
moterS on this side of the Atlantic
to pass out fortunes to Joe Louis, Max
Baer, Max Schmeling, Primo Camera
and others for single scrap.
And with some justice, they point
out that England probably never will
see million-d dollar gate because the
caulifloWer talent over there lacks the
color of the Brown Bomber" the
'Livermore Larruper." the Black
Uhlan" and the tunbling Tall Tower
OF Gorgonzola"-as some of the sports
writer's fondly have labeled Carnera
There seems to be something in
what the promoters Say-not little
because of what the fighters them
selves say
For example, the British heavy
weight champion, Jack Petersen, re-
Ceived an offer to defend his title
against Len Harvey, and this is what
Petersen told the scribes:
L shall need time to make up my
mind. Other promoters have made
offers which are quite good, and I
intend to give them all proper con-
sideration before making my choice >
In the Vernacular.
EVEN Tunney, in his Yale lecture
days, probably would have SHE'D
at anything so high-falutin. and the
average American version would go
something like this:
We'll. I gotta tink it over. see?
Some uh desc other mugs is ready to
lay it on the line-plenty! 1 gotta
tink it over. see?"
Petersen's statement, sounding like
q cross between belted earl and an
Oxford don, illustrates the lack of the
very thing promoters over there be-
moan-the hard-boiled ferocity that
made black jowled Jack Dempsey be-
come known as the "Manassa Mauler"
with killers instinct"
But however much the promoters
may complain, they are coming around
to fatter purses. The change in their
attitude is partly due to the inroads

POP FOSTER signed the contract

things McLarnin did with considerable
frequency and success in the past. The
unusual feature is that Foster under

NEXT MONDAY,

ELECTION DAY
Ballots To Be Cast For A Demo-

8: Presidency

Voters should hold in mind that on
Monday next, May A., a primary cleo
ton is held, for the purpose of nomi-
mating Democratic candidate for the
Presidency of the United States, and
for an uninstructed delegation to the
Convention.
The entrance of Henry Breckenridge
into the race for Chief Executive of
the Nation was made primary neces-
sary. In the States where primaries
have already been held, Mr.. Breckin-
ridge has not made much of a show
ing, altho' Republican leaders claim
that Democrats are somewhat disap-
pointed as to Roosevelt's showing. He
was expected to garner more Republi-
can votes than the returns show he
did. Full votes, however, seldom
come out in primaries.
Hon. T. Alan Goldsborough will not
be opposed in the primary election.
Senator Lloyd, Republican Of Wicomi-
co, will run in the general election,
and he is reported to be popular in his
county. He probably, will not give
Mr.. GOldsborough much trouble in
the District, specially if Mr.. Colds
borough's supporters will poll the vote
they are capable of doing.
Some disaffection has been rumored
in Wieomico due to the appointment
of Mrs. Toulson as postmistress; but
there; are enough adherents of the
Congressman left to put him across,
and agood majority is looked for in
the csHnty.

MEETING IN THE
INTEREST OF
COUNTY CANAL
Delegation Goes To Washington
To Argue The POcOmOke-
Sinepuxent Water Way
CARRY PROJECT TO RIV-
Err & HARBOR ENGINEERS

A meeting was called in Snow Hill
last week in the interest of a pro-
posed canal connecting the Pocomoke
River with Sinepuxent Bay. This
meeting was attended by the follow
ing Pocomoke citizens: Mayor r. V.
Gladding, Mayor-Elect E. Wilfred
Ross, Eugene P. Matthews, Ralph
Ross and E. J. Clarke.
The canal project referred to above
was agitated some time ago and re-
ceived an unfavorable report from the
Washington authorities. Since then
encouragement has been given to an
other hearing at which all the data
formerly presented and more was to
be discussed. The meeting in Snow
Hill was called to formulate such ar
guments as would influence a favor
able action by the Rivers and Harbors
Committee.
Yesterday, Thursday, delegation
from the county was given hearing
by the Board of Engineers for Rivers
and Harbors. Speakers pointed out
such canal would advance the inter-
ests of farmers of that section and
at the same time drain large area
of land above Snow Hill, extending
along the coast as far as the Delaware
State line.
Speakers told the board the farmers
and seafood interests of Worcester
county were being penahzed because
Of lack of adequate water transpor-
tation. ~
James w. Bevans, of Snow Hill,
said the proposed canal would enable
farmers and oystermen to land their
products on scows, saving much time
and expense.
Under present conditions" he add
ed, 1--WE have to make a round trip OF
about eight miles with trucks to de-
liver our commodities.
The Board of Engineers also was
informed that such canal would en-
able people from NV York, Philadel-
phia and other points along the Allan
tic Coast to go by this inland water
way and avoid the open sea in trav-
cling south.
DR.. R. V. Truitt, director of the
Cheapeake Bay Marine Laboratory,

vantages of the proposed canal in
carrying out the work of the Mary

conducting scientific research work.

and pep with which the principals and
choruses were going through their re-
spective parts, songs and dances is
any criterion of a good show, then a
bang-up performance can be predict
ed. The smoothness with which the
cast and choruses went through long
hard, parts and intricate song and
dance steps and routine, bordered on
the professional, and with still anoth-
