CREEK BROTHERS, BOOTblACKS,
WOULD Be OIL yMPIC HEROES

ANN ARBOR, Mich, Oct. "a
Where will the next champion
come from, is a question often
asked and always interesting in
athletic circles. The identity of
the man who will take the place
of title holder is a matter of in
terest.
Universities and athletic clubs
usually furnish new champions,
and the breaking of record by
novice or star is heralded from
one end of the land to another.
But whoever thought of look
ing into shoe shining parlor for
a record breaker?
Right here in little Ann Arbor,
| in the shadow of the university
administration building, two
Greeks, Charles and Paul Preck-
etes, twenty-one and nineteen
years, respectively, do a thriving
business shining shoes.
That they had any other life
aim than the gathering of dimes
might never have been known had
not a student discovered a high
jumping paraphernalia in the rear
lof their shop and wormed from
them the fact that they are prac-

games.

Greece eight years ago." said
Charles. when we came here we
no idea of practicing for the
games or of attempting anythin g
in athletics. But as we grew old
err the thought often came to us.
1t is what you call the call of the
blood, l guess"
The father of the boys, Nick
Preketes, according to the broth
ers' story, was giant of six feet
eight inches. He was the cham
plon wrestler of Greece and in the
Olympic games of 1896 equaled
the worlds record for the ham
mer throw and was the individual
star in the Hellenic games in
Russia.
Chas. Preketes Is no infant,
standing six feet one inch and
weighing 1SS pounds. His broth
err Paul, who is a six-footer,
weighs 1856. He says Charles is
a better developed man than their
father.
| Charles is an ail-around per-
former. At present he has a
mark of 1873 feet with the discus,

but is still within striking distance
of the Oaklanders.
The games were thrown out
upon the ground that Gus Het-
ling, who played with the Portland
baseball club in those games, was
ineligible to play therein, he hav-
ing signed contract with the
Spokane club of the Northwestern
league, and having played with
said Spokane club until the play
ing season in that league closed /;
and that under the rules of or
ganized baseball the said Hetling
was ineligible to play champion
ship ball in another league during
this season."

PROTESTS
OF BROWN

Secretary Farrell of the nation
al baseball commission, sends
word that the protests of Bob
Brown of Vancouver against the
Spokane club for playing Vic
Holm and Ostdiek and later for
playing Levy and Connors have
been placed before the national
board and win be judged on their
merits.
TECHNICALLY Spokane may have
about ten games thrown out. 1t
will not defeat the Indians in the
pennant race, however, for they
will STALL be ahead of Vancouver
by six points.

The brothers have trained, or

word, for a little more than one
year, and show steady improve

practice, but with the determine
tion and patience which has char
acterized them since they left
their home, coupled with the fact
that they hanve two years in
which to reach their limit before
the games, it seems certain that
the names of the Preketes broth

.3-YEAR- OLD COW

WATERLOO, Iowa, Oct. ~
The worlds record three-year-old
Guernsey COW, Dairymaid, of
Pinehurst, will be one of the big
attractions at the National Dairy
show, Chicago October 1929.
Her owner, Mr.. w. w. Marsh, of
this town, has consented to ex-
hibit her because of the great in
terest m:nifested by dairymen in
this wonderful COW. Her years
record as a three-year-old is 1,003
pounds of butter, or enough to
supply four families of four per-
sons each for the year with but
ter for their bread, cream for
their coffee and milk for the lit
tie ones. When it is considered
that the average cow produces
only about 160 pounds of butter
in year her performance as a
very young COW appears phenom-
email.

A Common Cold.

We claim that II catching cold
could be avoided some of the most
dangerous and fatal diseases would
never be heard of. A cold often
forms a culture bed OF germs OF In
fectious diseases. Consumption.
pneumonia, diphtheria and scarlet
fever, four of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases, are of this class.
The culture bed formed by the cold
favors the development of the germs
of these diseases, that would not
otherwise find lodgment. There is
little danger, however, of any Of
these diseases being contracted when
a good expectorant cough medicine
like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is used. 1t cleans out these culture
beds that favor the development of
the germs of these diseases. That
is why this remedy has proved SO
universally successful in preventing
pneumonia. 1t not only cures your
cold quickly, but minimizes the risk
of contracting these dangerous di.
seases. For sale by all druggists.

looted the town of Divide late last
night, according to message re-
ceived here today, and obtained
$500 in cash, and a considerable
amount in stamps and jewelry.
There were two men in the hold
up and both were masked. They
entered the postoffice, blew open the
safe and stole its contents; then
broke open the general store and
took everything of value that could
be quickly changed into money.
The thugs then went to the Divide
Hotel, held up the night clerk, and
secured small sums of money.
After terrifying the inhabitants,
the outlaws rode from the town. A
posse started in pursuit shortly af-
terward. Divide is thirty miles from
here and local authorities are pre-
pairing to join in the hunt if the
bandits are reported to be heading
this way.
