CLAIMS TUNNEY’S TITLE BULLETIN — Miami Beach, Fla.,, Feb. 20.—Lou 'Magnolia, of New Yeork, has been named referee of the Sharkey-Strib- ling fight in place of Tommy Brarsil, of Boston. Magnolia gained the assignment unex- pectedly after a protracted and somewhat violent meeet- ing today of fighters, managers and Dempsey. By GLEN ALLAN (A. P. Feature Writer) MIAMI BEACH, Fla,, Feb. 20.— Florida has gone fight-minded in advance of the Stribling-Sharkey imbroglio, February 27, and the whispering pines have taken to whispering words unusual so far south of Madison Square Garden. The Boston sailorman and the Striblings’ pride and jo yare meet- ing under moble auspices, what with Jack Dempsey co-starred as promoter, but the air is full of vapid ponderings as to what, after all, these two are fighting for oth- er than slabs of negotiable securi- ties. These two are seekers after the crown left vacant wien Gene Tun- ney gave up road work for walk- ing tours. 'Whether this vacancy is nQt too large to be filled by the winner of a single fight, even such a fight as this, is the question now on the blackboard of pugi- lism’s contender class. The winner of the fight is fairly certain to do a bit of claiming, He might even seem to be in a posi- tion to do a bit of claiming, for the fight was arranged by the maker of champions, the late Tex Rickard. It was intended as a remedy for that aching void in the [ ny Risko. L+ T 2 FOR BOUT WITH BOSTON SAILOR % STRIBLING CLAIMS 113 KNOCKOUTS i lockbox reserved for $1,000,000 gates. The loser would geem to face a dive into the troubled waters called, for the lack of a batter name, elimination contests, these waters are already so troubled that progress therein is largely a mat- ter of relativity. One thing is certain, and that is the public’s keen interest in the 1 fight. Stribling’s home is just over the Georgia line, and the Empire state already has set up a sort of colonist government. Shar- key is better known among the well-read ring fans, and his camp is closely packed with gentlemen wishing their overcoats had been left at home. The garrutous goo and the chap who was once a Georgia school- boy are not approaching their which marked the meeting of Tun- ney and Tom Heeney. They have been broadly humorous at each other’s expense and have predicted for themselves easy victories. Sharkey is three or four years older than Stribling. He has fought most-of the good ones and won from most of them. He ap- peared opposite Jack Dempsey in No. 1, Vol. 1, of the elimination serdies of 1927. . The Manassa Mauler put him down-with a right and a left. The sailorman pro- tested the right and was convers- ing with the referee when the left sneaked in. ‘When .

Heretofore the boys have lived in tents and the weather has been kind. Practically no rair but this luck will not alw hold; maybe this year it n start to rain quite a bit and some anxious mother will be just sure that Johnny's blankets are damp land he is catching his “death of cold.” And the next day will see the end of that camp for moth- er's fears are catching. “How would you like that to happen to you?” | Cabin as Reserve | There should be a big, warm,' dry cabin so if Johnny gets his blankets or ciothes wet there is! a place to get him dry and thej {camp goes merrily on. As long as conditions permit he will con-! tinue to sleep in a tent—what is so romantic as a tent—and if hel has to move into the cabin that is fine too, for was not Abe Lin- coln born and raised in a log cabin? And lots of ‘“fellers” mnev- er had a chance to sleep in |log cabin. There are other very good rea- sons for this cabin and the Boy Scout Council is urging you to| buy a log. The members of the! Seout Council are giving their| time and money, too. With the help of some ‘“old boys” the Council thinks it can erect suit- able cabin for about $10 a log. The more money the bigger the Look over your budget and trim it a little here and there and “Buy a Log” or two logs, or three logs—go as far as you like. There is no overhead expense in building this cabin; evey dollar will do its full work. Quite a number of “0Old Scouts” will contribute one or more logs to this cabin.
