,tho opinion that Tunney could woll
i, afford to shako down his boxlnn
program without any loss of t-f-
l'ectlvonogs.
"Oeiio Is in wonderful condition,'
'Vidnbock said. "Ho Is bigger than
"ho was Inst year: ho is Btrongel

with the former champion s show

Tho heavy boxing work will be con

Tunney Keeps Up Hikes
SPECULATOR. N. Y.. Aug. 2S.
The dav ot tieno Tunney s de
parture for Chicago has been set
definitely at next i huisday. He
will motor to Uticn lo lake tho
train.
While more than 1500 persons
waited in the rain for the cham
pion to resume his sparring ses
sions on the last leg of his moun
tain training for his fight with
IJempsey, the champion yesterday
decided it was too damp and tho
ling too slippery for safety. In
stead ot boxing he hit out for the
open road on a 15-mlle, hike. It
was the third day In succession
that he had forsaken the gloves for
road work. , , . , '
"I am far ahead of my program
last year,", said Tunnoy, ''and there
Is no necessity for speeding up

OKLAHOMA YOUTH
RESCUE PITCHER
FOR N. Y. YANKS
NEW YORK, Aug. 29 The Yan
kees seem to have fortified them
selves this year against any such
closing slump as they had in 1920
by hiring Wiley Moore, 29-year-old
Oklahoman, whose aim in llfo
seems to be to salvage derelict ball
games. ;
Whenever tho American league
champions show any signs of Blip
ping, or need nnyliody to admlnis-.
ter first aid to tho pitching staff,
a hurry call. Is Bent to the bull
pen for Moore. Ills rescue acts
have done so much, if not more
than anything else to keep the
Yankees speeding along, uncheck
ed.
He has pulled at least a
dozen games out ot the tire in the
last two jveeks alone, holding off
the enemy after a regular boxmun
has weakened while his team
mates applied the - old ' battering
ram.
Wiley has succeeded Fred (l'lr
po) Mulberry ot the Washington
Senators as' the foremost exponent
of relief pitching in the majors.
Like his rival, Moore doesn't reel
at home nor performs at, his best
unless he is called into action with
the bases full,' nono put and the
game at stake. 'Wiley was knocked
out of. the box in the 'only gawo
lie started. , . ' i . s; ! ,.
SAYS ROQUE WILL GROW "'
2000 ACRES OF BROCCOLI
Tho growing of 2000 acres of
broccoli on the Rogue liver bot
toms and on the bench land over-
half looking iho ocean on tho Weddcr-
burn side of the river, Is seen here
by Fred Schmidt of Dillard, after
spending tw6 days on a business
visit with R. L. .Macleay at Gold
Beach. '
Mr. Macleay lias become inter
ested in the broccoli proposition
and, it is understood, is consider
ing opening up tlie Rogue river
bottoms to settlers who will take
over the growing ot this crop,
which is just being introduced into
Coos county. "
Mr. Schmidt told Mr. Macleny
that the Roguo river bottoms offer
some of the finest broccoli soil in
the world. The climate ' on. (Jif
Rogue, he said, is equal if not bot
ter than that on Coos Bay.
A great ' future-for this drop i .

It doesn't seem quite right to

but that s just what is going to

sometimes believes that. Dempsey

before he dashed home to his sick
wife, Estelle Taylor.
Jack spent most ot his time
around the hotel when he wasn't

A GUEST
go here when I am away," Jack
told mo. "Theso fellows think that
as long as the place shows a profit
nothing else matters. If they hud
their way we would be In the red
in short order. When I come.tttick
after the Tunney fight, I'm going
to let about half the employes go
and get new help. Perhaps that
will improve conditions. It costs
money to flro people, though, be
cause it takes time to break in
new ones to fill their places."
When Dempsey was around the
hotel, be could be seen doing al
most anything from playing bell
hop to Instructing the chef how to
run a kitchen. I happened to go
intrf'the kitchen with Jack one day
when he found Borne dirt on the
stove. He Immediately hit the cell
ing, figuratively Rpeaklng. It look
ed for a few moments as if the
poor chef was going to lose his Job
right on the spot.
"Dirt Is one thing T won't toler
ate," Dempsey remarked as he
was going through his mail a Utile
later. "That will slow down busi
ness quicker than anything else
and as long as I own this hotel it
is going to make money."
That's Jack all over. He Is the
most liberal man I have ever
known with his friends and family,

thines upside down. I nlng the hotel, he Is doing It to
