NEVER saw q buster place In
y your life these days than that
Longacres plant :.
Men bosses mechanics
-. carpenters 6. machinery =. Z.
everything on the 20 -.
And when the big plant opens
come two weeks from today, the
9th, it1l be in the best condition
il has known since Its opening, so
say those at the helm =.
Met up with Mort Csrsher, the
publicity man and contact baron.
From the moment greeted him
until / left him he poured out
glowing words and phrases about
the plant and what it would do this
season
For genuine enthusiasm the
spirit of that gang out in the Rem
ton valley cannot be topped Even
the many bosses now stabbed there
awaiting the grind seem to have
become imbued with the spirit .
Well =. E. it won't be long, boys.
before the ponies are pounding
the paths and that will tee
tickle many hearts hereabouts,
N>.,ala and fapoala alike
You cannot find a more rabid
fan than the boss follower. With
him it's not only pleasure and a
thrill why, folks. it's his re-
ligion. So, if you follow the wise
course, don't argue with him. It's
bad policy to argue religion :.
ONLY IL, per cent Of state
" lands are suitable for Chinese
pheasants and Hungarian par
tridges -.
And when the crops have bcen
harvested there rema ms only
around five per cent that can he
called Chink ground cover :.
Thus, when $4,000 hunters, with
dogs, beat down through that
acreage one can readily see why
the toll of birds is so terrific :.
why the commissioners and au-
thOrities are up against hard
proposition -.
But our commissioner and Dr.
rector Bernard T. McCauley are
working diligently to improve bird
numbers. And are succeeding.
That's why Washington stands
with the first six state leaders in
game management and system
TIME hardest punch Doc Smell,
L old Tacoma bantam feather
lightweight and weIter, ever col
- acted was that one dealt him In
1881 ny Wildcat Carter, the Negro
phenOm -.
1t came In the first round "a
right hand. Jack Dempsey was
refereeing. The glove landed on
the left side of Docs face, smash
ing nerves and bone Immediately
off the left nostril
Doc, visiting me, pointed a fore
finger to the spot pressed 1t
to make things more emphatic.
And sure enough e. e. there it was
. a hole. He certainly was
smacked
In some 10 or IL fights with the
Cat the grand little Doc never had
been on the floor. He's puzzled
about it today. OF all the Carter
punches he had taken previously
without bother this one laid
him low as though he had been
slugged by sap -.
Well. there are many, including
Doc, who to this day believe that
Carriers fingers and fist were I'M
usually hard that night. And it
puzzles them. But no one ever
heard of any shady practices in the
fight game. Nothing like that.
No, no, no! -.
WHEN Freddie steele comes
w marching back into the ring
pits, which is a good bet he will
before long. judging from my
source Of information. he will re-
turn with a greatly needed rest :.
The youngster was anything but
washed up, through, when he
dropped his crown to Hostak last
Summer. He had just got through
berating the eheekbones and ribs
of SoIly k-ieger, the present
champ, before taking on Hos
tax -.
And anybody who can handle
Krieger the way steele did that
night, after he had come off the
sick shelf and with only a weeks
boxing. he has plenty of wars left
in him Give Steele several
months of real training no
Judging and let him start in a
couple OF warm-up battles

Gus, skilled fighter Personally.
III regret seeing him return, but
as I've always told you
fighter always reserves the right
to come back O..
NOW with the hot summary
~ weather apparently here to
stay, look for packed houses at
Athletic park. The way that
PoWerhouse Gang is working Is a
caution. When they unlimber
their bludgeons end when the
pitchers work at top form
well. there just isn't anything left
for the opposition. I've never seen
