Two days are likely to be cut right
of flying schedules of the two big
league pennant winners.
simultaneously with the winning by
the Giants of the National League
pennant came the news that the New
York Yankees are willing 10 wind up
their season next Saturday, swinging
Mondays final game to that date az
part Of a double-header. This would
add two days to a White SoX rest
period and allow them 10 gain even more
on the Giants from that standpoint
Negotiations already have been open
ed between the Giants and the Phillies
with a view TO switching the final
philadelphia contest to part of a double
header. The Giants schedule carries
them through the very last day of The
leason. October 4, and If they get any
rest at all il will be through changing

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Harry Greb,
Pittsburgh's pride in the middle
weight division has been knocking op-
ponents stin and has been defeating
them on points with such regularity
that he now looms as the only pas
sible opponent of class for Nike Glib
bons The great ST. Paul boxer has
whipped most Of the others. He's so
good. a match with most OF those IN
his class doesn't sound a bit good TO
the average promoter
In Greb, however, there Is a youth
who seems unbeatable. He has come
along so fast OF late and seems 10 be
so good that Il seems logical for him
10 pick on Mike.
Several stabs at such a match have
been made--by Pittsburgh and other
promoters. but Il hasn't been made
attractive enough yet for Mike. Glib

and partly because Mike Is reaching

interests have grown big and he
would be content 70 drop the ring

Promoters have been looking a
long time for some one 10 send

he wants a mitch with Gibbons and
several promoters are said 10 have

Estate During the War.

Public Safety Com, Northfcld, vt.
Dear onel:-After listening to
your speech in the House of Repre-
sentatives on Tuesday, the goth, and
also to the reports of other mem bers
of the Public Safety Committee, I feel
that it should be not only the duty but
the pleasure of such of us as are dis
qualified for military duty to render
our government any assistance pos
sible and, with that end in view,
wish to make now a formal tender of
the use of our real estate in this vii
lage,, consisting of about 248 acres Of
land, 100 acres of which is good til
lage land and free from stone and 80
acres of which could be utilized for
grain, corn or potatoes, in fact, any
grain crop that can be grown in this
climate. There is about 10 acres of
meadow that would grow only grain
or grass and there are three barns
adapted to the storing of hay or sother
forage crops, situated conveniently on
the premises.
This land is within about 800 feet
of the Lyndon station and only about
200 yards from another siding, Halls
Mills. There is fine spring water and
good location for camp, either for in
fantry or cavalry, with a good road
running diagonally through the en-
/ tire property. This land occupies a
little more than one-haf of the in
corporated limits of the village OF
/ Lyndon and its southern side is less
/ than seven miles from ST. Johnsbury
1 There is also a plentiful supply OF
/ wood and more or less soft lumber, il
t its use was required.
This tender is for the free use OF
this land and barns by the government
during such time as the present war is
In force and until the present war is
settled and of course any growing
crops at the time of peace would be
the property Of the government will
ample opportunity to harvest and
store.
Very truly yours,
OUR HUSBANDS MFG. Co,
