QUESTION OF
RACE LENGTH
NOT 0ECIGE9
Washington s Vote in Favor
of Three Mile Event Is
Not Decisive.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2. -Profereno
of the University of Washington for
a three-mile varsity rare in com tec
tion with the intercollegiate regatta,
will not definitely decide th ■ distance
question over which th * Intercolleg
iate Rowing Association has been
deadlocked, it was declare! by Mur
ton G. Bogue, chairman of the board
r-f stewards.
Washington would enter the re
gatta, Mr. Bogue said, he believed,
whether the distance were three or
four miles.
He declared no decision would b •
reached until the stewards meet in
New York again February 1-1, at
which time representatives of Co
lumbia and Syracuse, who favor four
-miles, will -seek to reconcile their
views with those of Cornell and
Pennsylvania, exponents of the three
mile distance.
MURPHY SEEKS GO
WITH JOHNNY BUFF
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 2. “Dyua
mite" Murphy, Eddie “Kid" Parker's >
clever little scrapper, has issued a !
challenge to Johnny Buff, former ban ,
Kam weight champion and Amork 1:1
flyweight holder, but as yet neither
Huff nor his manager, Lew Diamond
has made a reply.
Murphy has been craving action |
ever since he learned of Buffs ar
rival in California. No doubt Mur- j
phy would be the logical man to pitt
against the "little old man." in view
of the fact thi.ut Murphy hoi Is de
cisions over the best on the Pacific;
Coast.
Murphy, sometimes referred to as
the "Mighty Atom." packs a wicked
punch in both paws, is fast and ag
gressive. His only setback of any'
importance was tho decision that!
Tod Morgan of Vallejo earned some'
time back.
The “Dynamite Kiri" holds wins
over such h ys as Pete Herman.1
Johnny MaManus, Ed lie Macey an I
a raft of other .boxers. Should Buff!
decide to tackle the Oakland flash,
the fans will see a b.uttle royal.

Output Increasing
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 1.—Cali
fornia's output of gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc during 1022 was valued
a! *21,625,600, an increase of $673,177
over 1921. according to tho United
States Geological Survey estimates.
■Gold production was $14,815,000, ;.
<1 'creaso of $819,822, due, the survey

Argonaut mine tit. Jackson, which
also shn: off production in tlie ad
joining Kennedy mine, through which
work was conducted in trying t> r -.
cue the 47 miners entombed in th
Argonaut mine.
The government's report states
that coinplaint has been made, of the
scarcity of first ela a miners, wh >
seem to have gone into more profit
able and loss hazardous occupations
than underground mining.
Copper production in 1922 was
valued at $3,036,500, an Increase of
$1,521,601. This, says the report,
! was remarkable in view of the low
■ price of, the metal and the tact tii it
