Escape From Burning Home

Mr.. and Mrs. William Cox, liv-
ing on farm between Kirkwood
and st. Georges, escaped with their
lives, though the former was sew
erely burned about the face, neck
and back, when their home was de-
stroyed on Wednesday morning by
fire caused, it is thought, by a faul-
ty hue of the kitchen chimney.
Reused about l a. IN. by the smell
of smoke, Mr.. Cox ran down stairs
and opening the kitchen door was
met by rush of flames which
caught him and spread 10 other
rooms. He called loudly to his
wife and aroused her in time. The
house, a roomy two-story brick
structure, valued at $4,000, was
consumed with all its contents.

Of young heifers and cows that
have completed years official
work.
Some of the College Farm ami
mails that were not exhibited would
have attracted much attention, not
only because Of their individual
excellence but because of their
high milk and butter production.
For example, an Ayrshire COW,
Geisha, 21504, in two months has
produced 304S pounds of milk and
l40 pounds of butter; Jersey COW
Rose Of Greenway, has produced III
10 months 1923 ponuds Of milk
and $50 pounds Of butter; Guern-
sey, Golden Moll, during the past
year produced 5000 pounds Of milk
and 500 pounds Of milk and the
Holstein, Maud, in six months pro-
duced 11,904 pounds Of milk and
Ats pounds of butter. These re-
cords are rather unusual for the
climate Of Delaware.
"The College herd is attracting
considerable attention Of late with
the result that some very good sales
have recently been made. Mr..
Millburn and Senator Williams OF
Hartley have jointly purchased the
bull calf Alice May King and
George Medill Of Brandywine
Hundred has bought another son
of Beda s May King. The College
is constantly receiving inquiries
for its surplus cattle but it should
not be forgotten that the herd Is
maintained primarily for exper.
iments in Animal Husbandry ano
for illustrated material in the class
room work in agriculture. -
1t is a source Of considerable sat
isfaction to the college trustees tt
feel that the herd not only com
pares favorably with the dairy
herd of any other State college bu
, that it is a distinct additional re
source and credit to the State.

PHOENIX HOOPER DOES N'6T QUITE LIKE WAYIN WHICH ATHLETIC SCH EDULES MIX

PHOENIX, Dec. l.-The basket ball season in the valley should be altered. Just at the present time when the Coyotes have finished their football season, the normal and the Mesa, Tempe and Glendale high schools are finishing their basket ball seasons. These latter schools seem to make basketball take the place of the more popular football. spelling the basketball season for the Indians and Coyotes. With the material which the outside schools possess it is certain that they could put worthy football teams in the field, which would make the season more interesting in the valley, and would serve to make basketball come at the same date in all the schools. Backers of the Coyotes and the other valley athletes. should get to- gether and arrange for seasons CO., ordinance.

MATCHMAKER COFFROTH AGREES TO STAGE BAN NER CARD AT SAN FRANCISCO

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l.-Ac- cording to a wire received by Golf roth from H. Moss, who is manag- ing Abe Attell's fstic interests, Jim my Dunne, on behalf of Champion Kilbane, has accepted terms for an Attell- Kilbane bout in San Fran cisco on February ?, with the pro viso that Coffroth is back of the guarantee. As has been explained, Attell is practically financing the fight, since he has agreed to pay Kilbane his guarantee of $3,500 and take what is left from the fighters share of the receipts.
 Coffroth intends wiring Dunn at once that he will stand responsible for the guarantee and expects no trouble in arranging terms. Recent ly there came out of the East a story that Kilbane had declared his intention of retiring from the feath- erweight division after the first of the year and would then be pre- pared to meet the lightweights. Evi- dently from the message just re- ceived he is willing to give Abe his desired chance at return match before he throws aside the mantle.

THAT'S WHAT JOE RIVERS TELLS LEACH CROSS {; JOE WILL FIGHT WILL LIE RITCHIE NEXT

LOS ANGELES, Dec. l.-Attor- ney Sam Wallach continued to haunt the headquarters of the Pacific Ath- letic Club in the hope of getting . return match with Joe Rivers for his brother, Leach Cross.
 All that he got was the marble init" from Manager Joe Levy and no encouragement from the club.
 With Ritchie having expressed :, willingness to meet Rivers on New Years, there is little chance for Cross to horn his way into a return engagement.
 It is natural that the champion will be given the first call
 Anyway. despite the sensationa, battle put up by Rivers and Cross last Thursday. there is no demand for a return match. Rivers has beaten Cross three times now, and has demonstrated his superiority over the New York boy to the satis- faction of all except a few who would like to see manslaughter com mitted.
 Rivers last victory over Cross was clean-cut, scientific and decisive It failed to satisfy just one class those who insist that no boxing cart is complete without it's knockout or who delight in the spectacle o Q man being slowly beaten into ab solute subjection.
 Attorney Sam-yes, he can al times be found at the sign of tho shingle-has an iniaid belief tha Cross can reverse Thursdays resul in a return match.
