pantorium and cleaning business OF
Fred B. Pepper, of Az North First
avenue. situated in the rear Of ia

matches We're responsible, but this Is
not known to be a fact.
The building, a small and old frame
structure about 12x14. housed the
cleaning business. Machinery and 9TH
er contents worth $3.50 were ruined,
and the loss on the building Is prob
ably about $50, according to the esti-
mate made by George B. Pepper,
father of the owner of the business. A
dynamo in the north end Of the build
ing was the only piece Of machinery
not damaged greatly. Gasolene In the
building ignited and helped in the de-
struction. While the fire department
saved the total destruction Of the
building Chief Anderson said there
would not be much salvage in either
building or contents.
Mr.. Pepper carried no insurance on
either the building or its contents.

SO often this fall that they found il

games to state college teams which
they used to sneeze at. the young wo-
men students sat up and took notice.
When the season progressed and Brew
ers men continued their remarkably
unique record Of no victories and con
sistent defeats. the co-eds decided that
somebody had to stir these gentlemen
up bit. For more than a week before
the Syracuse game. the girls went into
secret session each das,. Then came
Syracuse-and the surprise. Between
halves, two score Of co-eds, led by off
GERS Of the cadet regiment marched on
the field and gave splendid drill. When
their work was completed they swung
under a large service flag which CON

green eleven went out on tho frozen
gdiriron. and. although Outweighed Is
pounds to the man, fought Syracuse al
most to a standstill The final score
was 81 to Z, in favor Of the Fasteners,
but two OF the Syracuse touchdowns
were the result Of spectacular runs. The

glorious success.

claimant OF the welterweight champion

Monday night before the largest crowd
that ever attended a boxing bout here.
If the ropes had not broken in the
third round. when Downey was piling
right and left haymakers in the direc-
ton Of Lewis jarw, the chances are
Bryan would have scored a knockout.
The strong young Columbus pride had
his man on the ropes. when they broke,
giving Ted a chance 10 scamper around
the stage to safety.
In the excitement the entire Downey
family gathered in Bryans corner. In
Guiding pop and three brothers. tried
10 hold up the ropes, so their relative
could put over the finishing wallop.
1t was one of the best contests, ever
held in this city. Close to $500 fans
crowded Memorial hall when time was
called for the star bout. The total re-
ceipts were estimated at close TO $1,000.
