Aspiranfs 10 Conn., S
Title Down TO ; as
Webb Triumphs
Jimmy Is Impressive
Polishing Off Tucker
In Nine Stunzus
BY SID FEEDER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The list
of candidates to succeed Billy Conn
as light heavyweight boss was mar
roWed to three today by the sharp
shots of Jimmy Webb's Irish fists.
The curly-locked larruper from
Little Rock, St. Louis, Houston,
Miami, Dallas-and a lot Of other
places you can think of-"purged"
one hopeful last night by punching
the ears off Tommy Tucker, the
Long Islander who doesn't sing for
his supper, in nine rounds in Madi-
son Square Garden.
It was a CoZv little gathering Of
6085 that saw Webb tumble Tommy
with a battery of bombs once in the
ninth and then tee off on him with
everything in the book before Ref
cree Frank Fullam stopped the
punching bag exhibition at 1877 of
that heat.
Jimmy Is Impressive.
But. although the coparatively
few fans ratified around the big
Eighth avenue sports palace, they
were satisfied Irish Jimmy is going
to be a very tough individual to
rope and tie in the series of elimina-
tions looking to CD getting a sue
cessor for Conn and % having the
New York State Athletic Commits
sion and the National Boxing Asso-
citation kiss and make up.
The knockout Of Tucker, a rough
and-ready mauler who never had
been stopped before. was the third
"big thing" which has happened to
Jimmy in recent months. First, he
explained. he broke his collarbOne.
Then he got married. And then along
came Tucker as a wedding present.
Now. he's only sorry he'll have to
wait more than three months for
the fourth important event to hap
pen. He can't do much about the
light-heavyweight crown for that
much time anyway. Anton Cristo-
foridis, the aggressive Greek. and
Gus Lesnevich, the Cliffside IN. j.
clouter, battle in the Garden May 2,
and some time after that Webb will
get a crack at the winner to straight
en- out the light-heavyweight hilar-
tiles.
Conn Still Recognized.
This series was approved by the
New York commission recently
after its old feuding friend. the N.
B. A., had taken Conn's title away
and given it to Cristoforidis for
beating Melio Bettina, a former
champion. Abe Greene. N. B. A.
vice president who has been trying to
get his organization and New York'S
fistic fathers to bury the hatchet,
suggested the eliminations. The 10
cal rulers of the sport still recognize
Conn, but inasmuch as he has
"SWeeter sugar" ahead in a heavy
weight title match with Joe Louis
in June he has promised to abdicate
the 175-pound throne just as soon as
the New York commission gives him
the nod.

 DO you and Liza Holmes stay in that big house all aloneP" Maudie asked.
 eJanie looked slightly surprised.
 "Oh, we don't mind. -I I guess I'm used to the house being quiet"
 "Quiet, yes. But is 1t safer"
 The girl laughed at little, ''Really it is. I'm not scared. Of course I've thought and wondered who who would have killed my aunt, and teh only thing I can think is that some poor, demented person must have seen her in the boat alone"
 Her voice faltered then. "But as for myself or Liza - why, we've lived in that house all the sum- mers can remember and I've never been afraid, and I'm not now"
 "Maudie reads mystery novels" I explained. You mustn't let her upset you."
 Maudie sniffed loudly. I'm not trying to upset anyone. I'm just tryin to suggest the child use ordinary precaution."
 "Precaution against what?" I said, but she glared ct me and emptied her ginger ale glass.

 She's not home," he said. Well, he visited with Liza Holmes"

 I laughed. "That was my opinion, too, but she said Liza was @ smart woman. But mother liked Miss Mil- lie, too. They had couple of chats and apparently Miss Millie was in one of her good moods because mother said she liked her"
 Well, takes all kinds of peo- pie to make tip world" he said and l took the letters and started out, still hoping for a glimpse of Denny. The lobby and bar were empty supposed he was over at the State Police Post where, 1 hoped, some progress was being made to end all the suspense.

 IN STAMPS
Doshine Mounted Police Guard Canada Since 1873.

shSN SNhSS Guard Canada Since 1873 CANADA'S dashing, romantic - and efficient Royal Canadian Mounted Police was founded in 1873. Small in number, but strong in courage, experience and hard training, they have main tained law and order over a vast territory from the great plains north into the Yukon, and across the Arctic to Hudson Bay and Baf- fin Island.
 The government honored the "Mounties" alphabetically in the 1895 stamp above.
 When Canada gained control over the unexplored lands of the great northwest in 1870, 1t was faced with the problem of policing wild area. Powerful Indian tribes endangered the lives of set- tiers.
 To curb these unruly elements, the Northwest Mounted Police was organized in 1873 at Stone Fort, just south Of Lake Winnipeg. Aft CT only a years training, 300 "Mounties" marched over 2000 miles of unknown territory, re- storing law and order from the Red river to the Rocky Mountains.
 The force was knighted in 1904 In recognition of its services in the Boer war.
