DEMPSEYMAYBE '
BETTER FIGHTER
PhyHiciuiis Say Trouble
Which Led to Recent Oper
ation Impaired Champion**
Mental Alertnea*.
New York. March 4 ? Jack
Dempsey. In the opinion of physi
cians who follow athletics closely,
will be a more formidable customer!
as a result of his operation than lie
has ever been before. They do
not say that his physical efficiency ?
as such was impaired, but that he!
must at all times have been men-!
tally belcrw par, and everyone knows
how the mind effects the body.
Those close to him when he was in
Montana know that there were days,
when Dempsey was not what he
should have been, and it is an open
sccrct now that one time when he
was training for Firpo it looked as
though the bout might have to be
postponed.
Physicians say that one thing he
will have to watch will be a tenden
cy to put on weight faster than lie
cannot go as long a time without
fighting as he did between his Car
pentier and Gibbons bout. Rut when
he does climb Into the ring now,
look out for even more of a fighting
fool than the only Jack has ever
been.
Pete Latzo is again In form and
fighting better than he has ever
done iu life. His victory over
Bermomdsey Hilly Wells was a neat
bit of work, and all the talk Is now
that when Mikey Walker makes his
first appearance In New York fol
lowing his suspension, the Scrnnton
coal miner will be his first oppo
nent.
Just now, with everything set to
make the most of the welter champ's
return, there does seem to be a
dearth of opponents. They say
that Jack Malone, who has been
chief among Walker's logical oppo
nents. has grown Into a middle
weight class, just as Dave Shade
has. If that is the case. Walker
will have to practice far the coming
summer bout against Benny Leonard
at the expense of a lot of welters
who are not In his class ? Latzo al
ways excepted.
True Walker beat Latzo severely
In their last fight In Newark but it
a good scrap none the less and since
then Latzo has met and defeated
Paul Doyle. Gecrrgia Ward and Billy
Wells.

It Is not probable that a player Qf

week, except those who ar?* 111.
There never Is a real hold out In
baseball even when the fixed train
ing season actually begins, I^CMHr
negotiations often proceed while th"
player is training. Now and then
players have not signed contracts
until the regular season and there
have been Instances where the ptfly
er did not sign until after the first
schedule name had been played.
There have been disagreements
between some of the players and
some of the owners as to the
amounts players should !?<? paid for

variably there Is Jockeying on both
sides. The owner offers less than he
expects he must give and the player1
asks more than he expects to re- '
celve.
One slicnlfieant feature of the!
early season Is the comparatively j
easy manner In which th?? Cincln- 1
null players have been brought into'
line. When veterans sign their con
tracts with ?o little protest as th?
Reds signed theirs. It Is evident that j
they figure they* have a chance to!
win the championship.

No More Says + Cochran
And Why Should He With 350.000 Berrien Dropped Sud
denly Into the Bank to Hix Credit and .-ill the Black
Folks Calling Him " Mistah " Cochran
By L. C. OWK.V
Copyr((ht, 1934. by Til* Ad**ne?
San Francisco, March 4. ? Work is
the mostest thing that Mlstah Wil
liam B. Cochran, late of Fort Worth
and Loving County, Texas, wants
everything else hut. In this respect.
all Cochran is like aTot of Other
humans. Hut in his particular case,
wantin' is bavin'.
"From now on, world, nie and
work doan* speak no more," de
claims Mlstah Cochran, as he fon
dles a bankbook showing *350.000
deposited to his credit ? 350.000 ber
ries that he can draw a check
auainst any time, and sp.end as he
pleases.
Until two days ago, Mlstah Cocli-J
ran. as his admiring friends now
call him, was the sole owner, and
alao the sole iuattve_ power. of an
"auto laundry" conducted on space
rented from a downtown auto park
ing station. His sole assets were a
length of hose, a sponge, a chamois
skin and a strong right arm.
Before that. Mlstah Cochran had
n similar motor laufidry. with about
the same assets,. .in Fort Worth. He
felt the urge to see the world, how
ever. so he came to California. Be
j fore he left, though, somebody in
duced him to buv eighty ncre? of
? land in Loving County, at $10 an
| acre ?on the Installment plan.
I Mistah Cochran used to live ? -in
fact was born ? In Loving County,
and he bought the land siuht unseen,
j Before he departed from the Lone
| Star State, however, he went out.
| and took n lock at his estate. Tt
was all snnd. But Ml?t?h Cochran
was an. honest man and he kept up
his installment payments.
Recently thev struck oil in Lev
in ir County, but Mlstah Cochran
didn't know anvthlng nhout it. so he
kent on massnsrlne autos. What hap
nened after that Is best told by our
hero himself.
"Thusdav mnwnin* T was working
hahd. un/nuddln autos. when two
white glmmens calls on me." say-*
Mlstah Cochran . " 'We wants vnnr
(land and Is willln' to slln yop 350,
000 bucks for !?.' savs thcy^
" 'How come?' pnys T.
" 'Thev's oil on It ? dep? von take
It or Hoe* you leave it?' asks the
white folks.
" 'I donn do nothln' else but,' says
I? and da you is."
Mlstah Cochran, who Is onlv a few
shades darker than coal tnr. and
who, before the advent of oil In LoV
Intr County, was oulte undlstln
culshed among his colored brethren,
olrea'tv is the leading soHal light in
San Francisco's black belt. Hl? land
w^s purchased by one of the biirgest
oil companies in the mid continent
field.

SHOCKING CHIME SI NUAY
IN CIKMOWINITY SECTION
Washington. N. C\. March 4. ? A
shocking crimp was perpetrated Sun-1
night about 6: lock at Cht/co
winity when a young white man by .
the name of Edwartl Car row-, age 19
years, the son of II. K. Carrow. a
prominent farmer residing near
Crimesland. was found in the front
of his car with his throat cut. the j
jugular vein being severed.
A young colored .boy was with
young Carrow as lh??y both came out
of a cafe car towards Carrow's
car. The colored man stepped .
around behind some * box cars and
Carrow went to his own car to crank
it. preparatory to leaving for home.
When the colored boy returned to
the car, he found Carrow lying on
on the ground gasping with his
throat cut and the blood spurting
out. He at once gave the alarm and
the police, who arrived in quick
time, along with Dr. Klutzz, at once
ran down the assailant, a colored
man by the name of Bob Jones.
Carrow was at once taken to the
hospital but died before he reached
there. Jones, who it Is stated ad
mitted the killing, was taken by
Sheriff Harris to Greenville, -for|
safe keeping to prevent possible!
lynching.
As near as can be ascertained. |
Jones is said to have asked Carrow i
for a match and not having any he
at once drew his knife and cut his
throat, doing it all so quietly that no
alarm was raised when the deed was
done. Jones, It Is alleged, says he
was hoodoed or1 had a spell cast on
htm and claims he wag not himself^
The crime so fiendish and without
provocation has stirred the whole
community and it just as well for
Jones thatfhe was spirited away.
Mrs. H. D. Spence of Shawboro'
arrived in the city Monday to spend
some time with her daughter. Mrs.
T. P. Nash, Sr., at her home on Mat
thews street.

CONFINED TO BED
Birmingham Lady Took Cardui
for Relief of Change of Life
Troubles and Says It Helped
Her "So Much."
Birmingham, Ala. ? "I first took
Card ui for that tired, worn-out feeling
that comes from being; dreadfully run
down," says Mrs. Catherine E. Smith,
of 2106 Stout Street. "Twenty-five
years ago, 1 was suffering from wom
mly weakness.
1 read of Cardui in an almanac, and
thought I would try it. I got a bottle
and it helped me from the first. After
.hat, during the whole ol my married
ife, I took Cardui when I needed it.
"About four years ago, change of
life came on ma. . . I grew weaker
Mid weaker, and was confined to my
bed, where I lay on my back for days.
I was told that only a severe operation
could do me any good, and this de
pressed me very much, for I dreaded
?uch an ordeal.
"I remembered how Cardui had
helped me for female trouble in the
past and I had read of how it had
helped other women during change of
life, so one night I told my husband
to go to the drug store and get me ?
bottle. 1 began taking it at once.
From the first dose I eould feel myself
getting stronger . . I continued to
take Cardui until 1 was entirely
through this vary trying period of ?
woman's life."
