(U.P.) A strange four-year feud between a huge calf-killing coyote and a Kill-deer stock rancher is over. The coyote is dead, his maraudings ended by a steel-jacketed rifle bullet. "Two Toes," leader of a pack of killers, began attacking calves and colts four years ago when the drouth reduced the coyote's chief source of food the jackrabbit. The rancher, Anton J.

(U. Tommy Farr, who had to come home to win his first fight in two yeara, was pulling today for Max Baer to lick young Lou Nova in New York June 1.

Farr scored an easy 12-round decision over Red Burman of Baltimore, last night, and he wants Maxie as July opponent over here. Promoter Hulls has offered Baer $50,000 to meet Farr In London if he gets by Nova. Burman, who won a close decision over Farr in New York last January, had no excuses but said Td like another go at him." Before a crowd of 15,000 Burman used a straight left jab to win the first two rounds, but Farr's 19-pound weight advantage soon began to wear Red down. The United Press score sheet gave Farr six rounds, Burman three and called three even. Farr weighed 2051a to Burman's Vienna Choir to Tour i VIENNA.

Tulsa Veteran Features the Newly Invented 'Indian Death Lock' Tom Marvin, the venerable heap big chief of Tulsa, today wired his agreement to wrestle Mike Mazurki, the terrible Pole, in the feature bout of a mixed box ing and wrestling card Monday night in the Hammond Civic Center. Marvin and Mazurki are sched uled to settle their differences in two-falls-of-three match within a time limit of IV2 hours. Young Joex Stecher and Henry Piers, the giant Hollander, have agreed to wrestle in the semi- windup bout that will last one hour or less. Preliminaries will be announced some time Saturday, A. B.

Scott, Civic Center boss, said today. Marvin, reported to be a fuil-blooded Indian, is one of the most colorful wrestlers of the decade. The heap big chief features the newly invented "Indian death lock" which is alleged to have prostrated many a heavyweight during the recent winter season. Marvin also likes to trade grimaces with the gallery and has promised te bring a grunt of hippopotamus proportions to the Civic Center. The Indian weighs 217 and will spot Mazurki something like 17 pounds but observers who have frllowed Marvin's efforts contend he'll more than make up for the deficiency in speed and aggressiveness, if not in voice and scowl.

Mazurki, who defeated Bob Jes-son with compaartive ease in the opening show last Monday night, developed a large following among Polish groups in the Calumet district. Hundreds of these followers are expected to back Mike with both cash and voice in his bout with Marvin. SHEPHERD DOG'S DEATH MOURNED ALMA, Colo. (INS) This mining camp's sorrow over the passing of the community's most beloved member was expressed in ceremonies befitting one held in high esteem. Boots, a seven-year-old shepherd dog, was striken with a heart dis ease, possibly the result of over eating.

Tidbits from the lunches of min ers and school children and handouts from restaurants always awaited the friendly animal in its daily round of visits. Everybody in Alma knew Boots and liked him and too many fed him. A 90-mile mercy dash, which required five hours of travel over a blizzard lashed mountain highway, and a blood transfusion, failed to save Boots. He died at a Colorado Springs veterinary hospital, where he was taken by his master and mistress Mr. and Mrs.

James G. Baker. Following cremation, the ashes of Boots were brought back to Alma, where nearly every member of the community paid respects. United States wool prices dropped from 32 cents a pound in 1937 to 19.1 cents in 1938 and producers suffered a loss of nearly $46,000,000 in income in 1938. AT SIBLEY CALUMET MONDAY NIGH For that reason, several trades are in the offing today, with all hands much more disposed to deal than they were during the winter.

SPORTS REVIEW California's eight-oared crew is being hailed as the best in the land for this season and potential winner of the Olympic championship in Finland next year. Despite all ballyhoo to the contrary, there is not a single National league club, possibly excepting the Cincinanti Reds, which is satisfied with its personnel and set for the season. Tommy Farr partly atones for five successive defeats in this country by outpointing Red Burman in 12 rounds in London. Thomas Iannicelli wins world's open squash tennis championship for fifth successive time. Toronto fans hold little hope for the Maple Leafs to overtake the Boston Bruins now leading three games to one for the best four out of seven for the Stanley cup.

Tony Musto, who aspires to the heavyweight crown and thinks he can lick Tony Galento and all other contenders for Joe Louis' title, does little to advance his cause in an unimpressive 10-round decision over Lem Franklin, Cleveland Negro, at Chicago. Margo Lee of Washington, D. and Mrs. Paul Meade of Scardale, N. meet in the finals of the North and South amateur tennis tourney at Pinehurst.

Nancy Roper, wife of Jack Roper, who fights Joe Louis in Los Angeles next Monday, hates to see hubby take a licking but as she has seen all his other fights she admits she'll brave fate by watching him against the brown bomber. Sixteen of the nation's best amateur fighters will meet tonight to determine national champions in eight classes at the AAU boxing tournametn at San Francisco.

Let's take a hasty glance at some of the most apparent weak spots and note what the clubs already have done to remedy them. The Reds hardened a soft spot at third base by landing Bill Wer-ber fromthe Athletics. The Giants had a hole at first base, in the pitching staff and in center. They acquired Zeke Bonura from the Senators to add punch to the infield and added Manuel Salvo to the pitching corps.

But centerfield is still a question mark and so are Carl Hubbell and Hal Schumacher on the firing line. At the moment, the Cubs appear to have lost more than they gained over the winter. Dick Bartell has a bad ankle and the Chicago entry may have to go to the post with Steve Mesner, a rookie, at short. Baseball men are far from convinced that the weak-hitting Phil Cavarretta can fill the bill at first base and Augie Galan's indefinite loss is severe handicap to the outfield. The St.

Louis Cardinals had a real problem at short and they needed pitching. They may have landed both in Joe Orengo, a likely looking infielder from Sacramento and Pitchers Tom Sunkel and Morton Cooper. If these three can deliver in major league style, the Cards may surprise many who are not giving them a tumble now. The Boston Bees had infield and outfield problems and still have them. The Pirates seem to be sat isfied that they have corked' a hole by landing Ray Berres to cfo the bulk of their catching.

The Phillies, of course, needed almost everything and came up with little although Legrant Scott may improve the- outfield and Merrill May should be a help at third. vvitn such a set-up, anything can happen and probably will.
