Lightweight Title
For Grabs Oct. 19

Cincinnati, (SpeciaD =
There's world lightweight box
ing championship up for grabs at
the Cincinnati Garden Wednesday,
October 19 and indications point to
banner turnout.
Promoter Sam Becker reports
a heavy advance sale of tickets
for the Wallace cBud) Smith-Jim-
my Carter 15-rounder, which will
be televised over a national net
work but will be blacked out in a
75-mile radius of Cincinnati.
There are all sorts of factors
which enter into the bout, first
big league boxing show here in a
long time.
Smith, Cincinnatian, will be in
defense of his newly won laurels
for the first time against the man
he defeated for the title in Bos-
ton last June 30.
Carter holds the unique distlnc-
tion of having won and lost the
lightweight crown three times, a
mark which probably never will
be equalled in the annals or box
ing.
He first won the title from Ike
Williams and lost it to Lauro Sal
as. However, he defeated Salas in
rematch to regain the crown,
only to lose it again to Paddy De
Marco He then knocked out De
Marco to win the championship
again, only to lose it to Smith on
split decision.

SPORTS

Smith, some six years his jun
ior, admittedly is the harder pun
cher with either hand, whereas
Carter has the edge on experience
and ring generalship. Both are ag-
gressive battlers, always ready to
carry the fight to their opponents,
and it's reasonable to suppose that
another slugfest will be in order.
Matchmaker Benny Becker has
lined up supporting card of four
six-rounders, which, with the
scheduled 15-round main event,
will make up a card of 39 rounds,
one of the biggest ever billed for
Cincinnati.

the Rumley.
Fellow says she'll pull more'n six
horses" Ed said, proudly exhibiting his
machine.
Man, you'll be so busy stocking the
firebox, you won't get any work done, -
granddad said
Ed wasn't very big fellow, had a
trim little mustache, and managed to
look dapper even in bib overalls and
blue shirt. He strutted around like the
rooster first in the peck order, cycling
the Rumley. Fellow says if you handle
your fire right, you can get lot out
of jag of wood"
THE OTHER FARMERS shook their
heads and went back to using their
horses. You couldn't tell Ed much, so
he went to work hauling and chopping
wood for the Runley and did some
blowing with it. Our wood was cotton
wood 1t burned well, made a hot fire
while it was at it, but didn't last long.
Folks could see Ed getting less and less
enthusiastic about the machine as it
ate up the woodpiles he'd spotted
around his field. But they had to adj
mire him some, too. For little man
he was mighty persistent. But then he
couldn't give up too easy, not and look

ONE OF THE youths saw what wa:
up and decided to play the game. He
told his companion to fire together with
him when the next two decoys popped
up within range With their magazines
full, they waited.
Sure enough, two braves jumped up.
Smith told Evans to fire and both wea-
pons spoke almost as one. The moment
the two flashes and the smoke were
seen, the whole band of Blackfeet
leaped up and rushed in, shrieking. to
butcher their supposedly unarmed and
helpless victims.
But the guns kept firing ball after
ball into the mass of shouting Indians
who charged the crude log barricade.
The warriors, already counting their
coups in their minds, were consterna-
tion-struck as brave after brave fell,
staining the grass with his LIES blood.
The continued fire was steady and
took its toll AT short range the miners
could not miss. The line of Indians
broke and fled but the magic guns
kept after them as Evans and Smith
levered more cartridges into the cham
bers.
AS THE RETREAT became rout,

ing.
Never again were Evans and Smith
bothered by the Blackfeet. Passing war
parties always made wide detour
around their borax claim and cabin.
This site was bad medicine for the
Blackfeet and cursed by the spirits.
When their paths accidentally crossed
those of the two miners, the Indians
would dash away in fear of the magic
gun men, crying out spirit guns'
This was not the first title bestowed
upon the fine Henry rifle, predecessor

chilly day, real fine rain drizzled down
Ed was enjoying what heat reached him
from the firebox when he saw the dead
pig lying off in the grass.
He stopped the Runley, poked in two
plugs of wood to hold the fire and
jumped stiffly down from the platform
to look at the pig. Remembering how
lard burned and how tired he was stok-
ing the firebox, he dragged the pig over
to the Rumley The pig weighed about
two hundred pounds. Ed managed to
pull him up onto the platform by the
hind legs and push him into the firebox.
He released the brake; the Rumley
started to move.
THE COTTONWOOD plugs were burn
ing well when Ed threw the pig in. It's
body smothered the fire some, but
pretty soon the flames began to lick
up around it, The smell of scorched
hair and broiled meat surrounded Ed.
He wrinkled his nose, then sat back
and grinned little Looked like that
pig was going to burn.

The firebox got hotter and hotter,
the Rumley numbered ponderously on,
but faster than it ever had before. Ed
listened to the rain spit on the heated
metal, began to feel uncomfortabIy
warm.

the Rumley moving faster, and Ed Nc
Clarney was still at the controls. Grim

Well, he rode it out until he was UNI
able to stand the blast of heat any long,

Rumley loose. Desperately he ran
along behind. The front wheels hit a
rock; the Rumley turned Trailing the
blacklist, hottest smoke out behind, into
the coulee it charged The manless ma
chine tried twice to climb the hill on
the other side, ate two ruts into the

They had hardly begun to work wher
they saw a large force of Indians ap
preaching.
Dropping their shovels, they ran for
their rifles. AS they watched, some
40 braves dismounted at a distance
and walked forward until they were
just beyond rifle range. They then lay
down in the grass and began to creep
up slowly on the two miners. All the
while, they we're spreading out in a
circle surrounding their victims.
When they were in range, some of
the warriors exposed themselves mo-
mentarily, bobbing up and dowr in
hopes of drawing the fire of the two
young ex-soldiers. Always, two of the
Blackfeet would pop up at the same
time, attempting to draw fire from both
whites at the same time.
This was a favorite Blackfeet trick
With all guns empty at the same time,
they would rush in for the kill For two

TyTiE BLACKFEET were pretty adep
at surprises; more than one Wagon
train and cavalry troop could testify
to that Once, however. two Montana
borax miners gave the Blackfeet tribe
the surprise of its life.
The year was 1865, the year of r. E..
Lees surrender to Grant. The boys in
gray were wandering back to aban-
doned farms and Sherman's track of
destruction, while the boys in blue
were looking for jobs and new worlds
to conquer. Borax was much in demand
and two Union soldiers, whom we shall
call John Smith and Frank Evans (for
their true names have been lost to
history, were getting their army dis
charges.
Before they were mustered out they
decided to keep their newly-issued
Henry rifles, never seen on the frontier
before. They wanted to be ready, know
ing full well that the Blackfeet would
try to wipe them out sooner or later.
1t turned out to be sooner.
THE TWO PROSPECTORS rose
early one morning as usual, dashed
cold water on their faces and, after a
quick breakfast of bacon and beans,
washed down with Arbuckle coffee.
