TRAP SHOOTING
BASKET BALL
Great Interest IN MAT
CONTEST OF CLADIATORS

The much talked Of wrestling match
which is carded for Wednesday at
The Playhouse is looked forward to
with more interest than any similar
event Of the kind ever staged here.
DR.. Roller is as quick as a cat and
a past master at the graphing game.
Besides his speed, he has science and
cleverness galore, and is probably the
greatest ring general the game has
ever known. He has invented more
new tricks than all the other famous
wrestlers combined. The physician
athlete is known as the most perfect
athlete in the world He claims that
he has the most perfect stomach of
any man living. Condition is his
hobby; he talks, dreams it. and is al
ways in perfect shape for his big bat
ties.
Recognizing the Importance Of the
match with Lewis. he promises to out
do himself, and when he steps in the
ring at The Playhouse on Wednesday
/ night he will be fit for the battle OF
his life.
Ed Stranger" Lewis, the fast Ken
lucky mat artist, is probably the most
popular grappler that has performed
in Wilmington. He has. by his quiet
demeanor won hundreds of friends.
! His method is doing something that
/ several months ago was thought i'm
possible, that of drawing out to his
matches the better element of the
better business and professional men.
As both Roller and Lewis are mod
ern gladiators, it is expected that the
largest crowd that ever saw a match
in this State will see this memorable
bout between these acknowledged
leading artists of the wrestling game.
Roller. to win over Lewis. will have
/ to show his best, and there are hun
! dreds of his friends who claim he will
/ win the title back before the present
| season is over. The match should
prove the most sensational and scien-
tific ever carded in this city, for the
! ability of both men as to speed. clev-
| erness and science is known to the
fans. and it now reverts to the ques-
tion of stamina and ring generalship.
| Unlike the usual heavyweights. Lewis
and Roller will show speed. The
Kentucky boy always carries the bat
tie to the camp OF his enemy, and
those who have watched him wrestle
know he keeps boring in all the time.
Lewis never lags. 1t goes without
saying that Lewis wants to win. and
if careful training and hard work
will bring about the result he has al
ready won. However, there is an OBJ
stacle in the way of his progress. DR..
Roller isn't the kind of a man to
lose without a struggle
Heracl, the Wilmington strong man,
VIII meet Hans Hassan, one of the
best men on the mat today, as a pre-
liminary attraction on Wednesday
night.

Home RUN" Baker
ON The HOSPITAL LIST

MACON, Ga, March 1S.-Manager
Donovan, Of the Yankees, has hopes
that Frank Baker will be able to play
third base within a week. It may be
two weeks, or about the time the
Yankees are leaving here. but when
that moment does come to pass, the
permanent lineup or the Yankees.
aside from the batteries that is, will
be decided, except about two posi-
tiOns.
OF the nine young pitchers still re-
naming to be looked over and decid-
ed upon, at least seven are still very
much in the running, and picking the
best of these will add to Donovans S
gray hairs. There is one advantage
however, in having a group of good
looking youngsters. They realize that
they don't have any too much time to
display their goods, and lose little
time in displaying them.

alive bull association has been organ
lied near Roland Story county. Scouts
have been sent out to look for five
pure bred Holstein bulls, which will be
brought Immediately and used on the
farms Of the fifteen members of the
association. . ~
Organization came as result of an
investigation made by an expert of the
United States department Of agricul-

mers were paying on the average of
800 for grade and scrub bulls, when
with the same money spent coopera-
lively sufficient number of pure bred
bulls could be bought to serve the COM
munity herds. The members will be
divided into blocks so that each block
can have a bull. The bulls will be ex-
changed every two years.
Herds will be visited at Ames and
other places in order to inspect likely
stuff. H. c. Barker Of the agricultural

IOWA CITY GIRLS
NOT RECOGNIZED
JUNIOR PROM SEEMS TO 81
DOOMED BY RELENTLESS
SPIRIT OF DEANS.

Iowa City, Feb. IA. - Absolutely no
quarter is the verdict of the university
deans for the sixty-four girls who are
doomed to miss the junior prom. A
subcommittee of the board of deans
has refused to reverse an inch from
the original edict and stands pat on
the, decision that the young women
must not attend parties for month.
A committee from the junior prom
presented the argument to the deans
that the function would be a financial
failure unless the banished goods
were permitted to attend the party
with their male escorts, and since the
prom comes but two nights before the
month Of punishment would be over,
the students\expected some leniency
from the authorities.
The plea for the girls was made two
or three days ago by the prom COM
mittee and later the deans talked the
matter over and decided that what
was done was done.

who have deserted their own country
for financial or social reasons" said
Er. Edward A. Steiner, noted immi.
grafton authority, in an address at

Americans" Steiner sarcastically
quoted ex-President Roosevelt as hav.
ing said, ITO hell with the hyphens.' y
He remarked that this would be a
very drastic remedy and that the time
is now past for the use of anathemas.
The speaker classed himself as being
what is usually meant by hyphenat.
ed American, but said, II have long
since forgotten that l am hyphen.
To hyphenate should mean to join, not
to separate" ..

SECRET PROCESS IS
USED AT SHELTER

Keokuk, Feb. 1.-THE high price of
chemicals will not hinder the River
Smelling & Refining company, the
Keokuk branch of the National Lead
company, from operation. The local
company is making it's own chemicals
and according to R. G. Hall, superin-
tendent, is making them so much
more cheaply that even when the war
is over it is doubtful II the Keokuk
plant will buy chemicals elsewhere
in any quantity. The process used
Is secret.
The price of the. chemicals used
formerly was from IL to Is cents a
pound, while now it is $3.50 to SO,
and for that reason 1t was necessary
to find some other way to get the
chemicals.
The local plant has been delayed In
the matter Of electrical machinery.
All of the machines have now been
shipped and it is expected to have
them all installed by the middle of
next month. Fifty men will be at
work in the smelter by the middle of
April and already engagements Of the
