Under a storm of gloves that
ripped his seamed features open,
and bftndod him In one eye,- Tom

ded his way past , all American
challengers, crumbled Jast night

Vafik to the cuimis saved 'from the
ignominy of a knockout by - the
ahfelding arm of the referee,' but
ohly after one' of the greatest
stands and most vicious beatings a
heavyweight ever endured. ' 1 '
Overshadowing, perhaps, the tm-'
quenchable courage of the chal
lenger in th6 face of ' withering
glove fire was the picture of the
tihumpfon, revealkd at hf-it under
the 'glaring;', lights of the Yankee
Stadium as' a "killer" the type of
fighter Tudney in his heart always
has envied. ' ' ' '

Unfortunately, Gene's 'awesome
display of punching venom en-ma

the first great financial failure of
his career. Although', official re

The locution of the fires and the
fact that they were strung out in
a direct line along the creek, give
positive proof that they were ot
imfemllary origin, according to
Harvey Q. Brown, supervising war
den, 'rim fires were set in a district
used chiefly for goat range, being
quite brushy and very sparsely
timbered. No motive for setting
the fires was established other
than that the purpose was to bum
the district over with the idea of
improving the range,

The fires were not set out until
iate yesterday afternoon, and were
quickly discovered, Mr. Itrown hn
? mediately ordered iha closing o
the Leona rail! and drafted the en
tire mill crew to fight the firs. A
heavy fog drifted In last night
from the ocean and helped in
checking the progress of the fires
so that It was not a difficult mat
ter to throw trenches around
them. Each of the four fires was
kept confined to lesa than four
Yan-iaires !n Patent. They were all tm
