sentative forces tried repeatedly
to pass the awards increase to
workmen without elimination of
merit rating, but the CLIO. crowd
would have none of it.
Capitalization of Authority.
The Democrats controlled this
session. They had confidence in
their new governor, Mon Wall
gren, and agreed for the most part
with his demand for complete
Capitalization of administrative
authority in the hands Of the gov
ernor.
Capitalization w a accom-
plished in changes in the Game
Commission and Liquor Control
Board membership requirements,
Governor Wallgren was made the
master of host of new agencies,
including boards for aeronautics,
veterans affairs and forests. Wall
gren forces lost fight to give their
governor control of the Board of
Education and the Board of Pris-
on Terms and Paroles.
Voting Liberalization
Likely to have considerable po-
litical effect on the state is a
group of laws which Democrats
pushed through to liberalize vot-
ing. Tenure of voting registration
was extended to run from one
presidential election to the next,
thus preventing disfranchizing
voters for failure to vote in "off-
year" elections; registration was
made "easier" by bringing poll
books close to voters homes and
by approving registration by mail;
the blanket primary was tossed
out the window in favor of the
direct primary, and heretofore in
dependently-held municipal cleo
tons in small cities and towns
were forced on to the general
election ballot.
Defeated, however, were moves
to prevnt cross-over voting in
general elections and to force
school elections to the general
ballot.
Travel
The legislature was quite cross
mountain conscious. It approved
expensive surveys for a new road
linking Skagit and Okanogan
counties and a 25-mile tunnel I'M
der the Cascade Mountains at an
unspecified point. It also told
the Toll Bridge Authority to sur
vey and construct a 1.3 mile tun-
mel in the Cascades at Naches
Pass.
It also plunged the state into
the ferry business at four unre-
lated points in Puget Sound and
in the Columbia river. Whether
this is the opening wedge toward
complete state ownership of all
ferries is question.
Schools
Smaller school districts won
several battles. They got more
equalization money at the expense
of large districts. They also de-
stroyed the law forcing consolida-
ton of small districts at the pleas
ure of larger ones. Teachers won
a pension bill for SIS monthly
payments after 80 years service at
age of 60. Optional, limited re-
ligious education was approved.
Not included in this resume are
some of the other bills which were

support from some groups. Among
these were bills to eliminate the

New York Rangers
Trim Red Wings s.
Detroiters Fail
to Pierce Defense
BY the Associated Press

The power currently featur-
ing the play of New York Rang
ers and Chicago Black Hawks,
respectively the fifth and sixth
teams in the National Hockey
League, contains a threat to the
play-off hopes of the fourth
place Boston Bruins and the
third-place Toronto aple
Leafs.
The Rangers last night chalk
ed up their third victory in four
games by trouncing Detroit So
which compares favorably with
the Chicago showing for the
same number of games of three
wins and tie.
The New Workers, tuning up
for their contest with the Toron-
to Leafs next Saturday, won by
notching four first period goals,
two by defenseman Guy Labrie,
then switching to the defensive
and fighting off a determined
Detroit rally.
Walter (Ants) Atanas set the
Blueshirts on their way with
a goal in the first minute when
he tipped Jack Mann's neat pass
into the Detroit goal. Labrie
added his pair, then Mann beat
Harry Lumley in the Detroit
nets on play with Fred Thur
sier. Alb Demarco added the final
goal late in the third period.
Detroit failed to pierce the
Ranger defense until the third
period was more than one-quar-
ter gone and Murray Armstrong
Gagged a rebound on hard shot
from Earl Seibert. A minute Ia
ter -ud McAtee scored and Carl
Liscombe sank one late in the
period.

Knocked Out Dempsey, But
Never Won Champs Title
BY BILLY ROCHE
Famous Referee q

Fireman Jim Flynn never won
title but he gave a couple of
heavyweight champions I h e r
toughest fights and goes down
in ring history as the only man
who knocked out Jack Dempsey.
Starting in 1901 Flynn fought
them all over a stretch of %
years, reaching his peak in 1911,
the year promoters were fran
tically seeking a challenger to
dethrone Jack Johnson. 1t was
the white hope era. Fireman Jim
knocked out aspiring contenders
with such neatneSs and dispatch
he became known as the De
stroyer of Hopes"
Flynn was nearing the end of
his career when he met Jack
Dempsey just embarking on his,
in Salt Lake City. Feb. 10, 1917.
Flynn ducked Dempsey's lead
and crossed a right TO the chin
that dropped the Manassa Maui
er on his back. AS Jack bounc-
ed to his feet Flynn, standing
over him with right cooked,
dropped him again and again.
After the sixth Touchdown
Dempsey didn't get up in time.
FANS SKEPTICAL
This signal triumph meant lit
tie to Flynn at the time. He
hadn't m p lie d Iron Mike,
Dempsey's potent left hook, as
Jack hadn't landed blow in the
fight. Indeed, there was quite a
bit of EYEBROW lifting among the
ringworms. who expressed the
belief that the affair was bar
ney.
A year and a day later-Feb.
IA, 1918, at FIT. Sheridan-it was
entirely different. Dempsey hit
Flynn the hardest punch he ever
received and the lights went out
on the Pueblo Fireman SnOrtly
after the bell started the first
round.
Jim Flynn, 5-9l2 $50 in fight
ing trim. was born Dec. "a, 1879
in Hoboken, N. j. His real name
was Andrew Haynes.
Young Haynes took the name
of Jim Flynn when he entered
the ring. In those days most
fighters and actors assumed 9TH

poses.
The family moved to Pueblo,

ing, working as fireman when
