that the exhibition bouts between the
two brothers are the real thing as
little regard for each others feelings.
When one OF the pair is training for
fight. the other one always acts as
his sparring partner, and they make
their training bouts so interesting
that there is always a crowded house
at their performances. and the pro-
motors kick. because the fans see so
much action during the training bouts
that they don't care to attend the real
fights in which the boys are more
cautious.

Strunk SUSPENDED,

Amos Strunk, sterling outfielder Of
the Athletics, has been suspended by
Manager Mack, even though the be-
ginning of the season is just a few
days off, and Amos, who was one of
the leading hitters Of the American
league last year, was depended on to
be the bulwark Of the Athletics outer
defense. Strunk was a holdout at the
beginning of the training season. but
later came to terms. According to
Mack. the veteran outfielder was sus-
pended because he did not show any
interest in his work. 1t is probable
that Catcher Schang. who played in
the outfield in 1916 will be sent to left
field, while Ping Bodie. the slugger
from the coast, will take Strunk's
place in center field.

The last and one of the best entertainments given in honor of the Woodruff County volunteers was rendered Company "A" at the Methodist church in McCrory last Friday evening.

 With the optimistic and cour- ageous Robert M. Hutchins and his corps of brave subordinates leading the gentlemen who com pose the membership of this vol unteer company, we know they will rank among the first in ev- erything honest and honorable in every part that they may play in the world struggle, and we hope to give them a greater reception upon their return from France.

Some people seem to under stand that the cans being placed in closets are the only improve ments that the town ordinance will accept. Any person who feels like spending $25. or more can put in a concrete tank which requires no scavenger service, and that is even better than the can. Of course a sewer system is best of all. Getting something better than you have had is the plan. Any who desire it may have our service in directing the installation of concrete tanks.
