of the world.
It's even money and take your
choice.
If you like a young, hungry
fighter VINO is smart, ambitious
and packs fair punch in either
hand, get aboard Nova.
II you prefer a man who can't
box and is strictly a one-handed
puncher. then have load of mad
cap Make Baer and stake every
thing on the chance that some
where along the line he will get
across the terrific right that once
killed man in the ring.
The distance is Is rounds and
many persons believe that if Baer
is going to win, he'll have TO do
it before the bell rings for the
sixth. The further it goes, the better
Nova'S chances should be. He is
younger, a better boxer, has more
incentive to win and, unlike Baer,
has left nothing along the primrose
path where more championships
are lost than are ever lost in the
ring.
There have been tall tales about
how this is a new Baer who will
move out under the lights tonight
a serious minded, well conditioned
Baer who wants to dispose of Nova
and then avenge his honor of get
ting another crack at Joe Louis
Open the window and throw all
that sort of stuff out. He will be
the same old Baer-a little older
maybe a little slower-but still
the same old Make who looks like
the greatest fighter in the Worlc
when things are going his way anc
the worst in the world when the
road gets rough.
Nova, a Tunney-like sort of fel-
low, is easy to figure. Nobody, mo-
even Make himself knows Wha
Baer will do or say when the bel
sends them out. He may rush ou
and clout Nova with sledge-ham

No one is going to convince me.
just by telling me, that six weeks
in the country Is sufficient to re-
pair that wear and tear on the
Baer chassis. | see Baer right out
there under the hot lights, with
three strands of rope around him,
skin tight gloves on his fists. and
faced by game young. and tough
kid who wants to let him have both
barrels.
If Nova is half the fighter
hear he is. then Baers only chance
is to come out winging that right
of his and trust it will land in the
early rounds. You can throw out
those stories you have been read
ing of how Baer has developed a
remarkable left jab and hook. Re
markablc left hooks and jabs are
not developed overnight. You are
either born with them or develop
them only through months and
years of hard. hard work.
I wouldn't be surprised to see
Baer come out jabbing, however
He'll try anything once, even ag-
ainst the best advice. He tried
such a style against Louis, you
will remember, and nearly got Kill
led. He tried it against Tommy
Farr, a poor excuse for a fighter
at best and barely managed to
win. He tried it against Braddock
and should have been thrown out
of the ring
Novas great assets are youth and
ambition. That's a rugged COM
bination in any business. With his
mechanical style I expect to see
him wear down and discourage
Baer in the first eight or nine
rounds, and then really go to work
on him. The bout is going to be
teleyised and If Baer isn't any
better than he has been in his last
two or three fights, the television
folk had better get Orson Welles
to do the announcing. II is likely

Accurate Scoring
Devised For Meet

NEW YORK. June /. (UP)-Fif-
teen professional golfers prepared
to march out today over the long,
rolling course of the Fresh Meadow
country club for the first round of
the most complicated tournament
ever devised
For four days they will battle
against par, each other and the
adding machines-to see who gets
top prize of 81 600 on Sunday night
when the sun sinks ON this affair
known as the SIS 900 Goodall round
robin tournament.
Despite an involved system of
scoring, the boys agreed today that
the man who takes the fewest
strokes to play 126 holes will haul
down the major portion of the cash
Most of them think the man is
"Slammin' Sammy Snead.
The draw is so arranged-it took
half dozen mathematicians two
days to figure this out-that the
boys go out each time in five three
somes, and nobody ever is in the
same company twice.
For each hole won from the other
two partners, a player gets a plus
one and the losers receive minus
one. Then when it's all over the
golfer with the best plus score gets
the major share of the booty.

fourth place in the Pacific Coast

I don't know exactly what tandem

be Gene Mako of Los Angeles and

But what about the combination

assured the press would represent

stars. Bromwich or Quist, if Riggs

Sumner Slump Fails To Materialize

IT now getting along toward the time of year when
people would rather lie under apple tree than
call on that last customer whose place is way at
the end of town.
Because, at this time of year, millions of people
feel little bit that way, there usually notice
able fallingoff of business (and all other) activity
This has been christened "the summer slump"
But this summer there isn't any, which is very
heartening thing indeed The Wall Street Journal
whose business it is to keep in touch with these mat
ters, surveyed all the prominent fields of trade and
industry recently and came to the conclusion that
most of the trades and industries which usually drift
into the doldrums at about this time are stubbornly
fighting their way upward.
Here are some O fthe conclusions reached: depart
ment store sales betering the seasonal average
well above 1885, automobile sales holding up unus-
ually we'll; gasoline consumption at high; re-
placement auto tire trade at sX-year high in June;
sales of building material at the best level of recent
years. with construction contracts up; expanding
ders in the machine tool, electrical equipment and
utility fields.
Not all industries showed so bright tendency with
steel production still at low level and railroad equip
ment tagging. But new seasonal traffic records are
being set on the airlines, the machine tool and air.
plane industries buzzing (with orders, it is
true).
All this activity flying in the face of traditional
seasonal dulness is further proof of the tremend-
GUS backed-up demand which lies beneath the surface
of tOday's conditions
It is now almost certain that 1899 is going to be
far better year than 1888 regards business progress
and the first sign of sanity to return to the ntea-
tional situation should make the green light burn i'm
mediatcly brighter.-Bisbee Review

The Republican Filibuster

THE Republicans in the Senate, including three
avowed candidates for the G. 0. P. presidential
nomination next year, were positively gleefu as they
put over their notable threehour filibuster against
extension of President Roosevelts monetary powers
The candid camera snapshots that graced the pages
of the metropolitan press showed the pranksh spirit
of quite youthful undergrads the faces OF Messrs.
Vandenberg and Taft. But in momentarily deprivlng
the executive branch of the government of the right
to devaue the gold content of the dollar and to use
the two billion dollar sabiliZaton fund to keep for
egn exchange steady on 24hour basis it is fair to
ask: whom were they really placing at disadvantage
bv their incredibly short-sighted spitework?
They were not hurting the Presidents prestige, be-
cause it was evident that there were enough votes
present and ready to be cast to approve the confer
ence report on the monetary bill. And the
Senate resumed it's first session after the Fourth OF
July holiday, that is what happened
The injury proposed by the Republicans was to
American export trade. South American import
firm which had placed order for $5OOOOO worth Of
New England machinery cabed for delay few hours
latter the juvenile c. O. P talkfest Until the
was restored to the President to keep the value of
the dollar stable in foreign exchange the Southern
buyer could not take chance on the British forcing
the pound down. for in that case he could buy cheaper
lin England That foolish fibuster therefore would
have been against an American factory instead OF
|against the American President
For playing politics the Republicans are not to be
blamed not provincial politics, such was here
displayed. Their fault not Innocence but lgno-
france of density seldom encountered elsewhere in
this rather enlightened age It obvious that they
considered the power Of devaluation and Of the
stabzation fund as a vast danger in the direction
of domestic initiation. To the extent that there ap
peared in the confusion Of the great fatalistc fbus
ter any hint as to concept there an utter absence
Of realization that these powers-whch have been
renewed several times by Congress only be
ercised in promoting foreign trade and Of
stabilizing the price for the same
If this is any indication of what America could
pect from Republican leadership in the existing world
order the experience is valuable to the American
public.

IF there is ordinance governing at what angle a
car should be parked it should be enforced
Each day persons who park at what is believed to
be the proper angle have difficult time getting away

How About It Gus?

QISBEE seems to be the weathermans favorite
spot this summer.
The mining town has had more rain than any other
city in the state. Up to Tuesday the total precpta
ton there had been more than six inches and in No
gales about one and one half inches.
Maybe Gus Michaels, secretary Of the Bisbee Cham
Der of Commerce, former resident of Nogales, has
had talk with the weatherman, for we recall that
when Gus lived here, Nogales was topnotcher in
rainfall
