ConOicts Grow Rip Van Wrinkle Boards
when Sheriff UncoOers Plot to Cut
Ills Throat With Own nBorroued Razor

gether from the fragments of con-
versation. was as follows:
The prisoners intended to ask him
for the loan of his razor on the pre-
text that they wanted to shave. In
stead they would wait until they
were I'd out for their daily exercise
in the Jail corridor. Then they
would attack the sheriff with the
razor, grab his keys and make their
escape.
When the time came to give the
prisoners an airing, Sheriff Pannett,
with a revolver in each hip pocket
and a baseball bat in hand, took
the prisoners out singly. Each man
was permitted to exercise as usual
and then locked up.
Sheriff Pannett told the prisoners
that there will be no more shaving
in Frederick County jail while he
is in charge.
In consequence of this order some
of the prisoners alreay have
shaggy appearance.
But the sheriff is obdurate. 1t
will be Rip Van Wrinkle jail here
after-if he can make it so.

Your correspondent saw several
thousands who formed the chief

the pride Of the fourth army, cross
the German frontier at SChwiddern
with an immense army train. They
were excellent troops well equipped
and armed, riding good horses. On
German soil. they maintained severe
discipline and fine marching order.
No army in the world need be
ashamed Of these men.

Title With Ithaca's Defeat.

Saturday evening, when the local
American Legion quintet romped
over the Union Truck five of Bay
City % to 10, and the high school
cagers swamped Ithaca under count
of 81 to 6.
At no point in either contest was
there ever a doubt as TO the outcome
as the superiority Of the Alma teams
was apparent at every stage of both
battles.
The Bay City Truckers had a
strong team, which won the indus
trial league title of Bay City with
ease, and which had a record bril-
liant enough TO give the Bay Cityans
strong claim to the Saginaw Valley
Independent title. 1t did not have
the strength, however, to penetrate
the defense offered by Moore and
Crittenden, in spite of the fact that
these two men were playing their
first guarding game together.
While Moore and Crit" were hold
ing the visiting forwards away from
the baskets, Smith, Beattie and Gaff-
ney were collecting eleven field bas-
kets, which proved sufficient to land
the game with ease. 1t was a bad
night for pulling in points on fouls,

AMERICAN LEGION
POST ENTERTAINED
Business Men of City Attended
A Good Athletic Show As The
Guests Of Post.

Monday evening the George w.
Myers Post No. 1872, American Legion
held a smoker and athletic entertain
ment at the Republic cafeteria, that
was highly enjoyed, not only by the
numerous members of the legion, who
attended, but many professional and
business men Of the city, who were
guests Of the Legionaires that even
ing.
The first feature of the evening
was wrestling match between
Ernest Fenby and Hole, both Of this
city. Fenby agreed to throw Hole
twice in fifteen minutes. Fenby has
not been training and was not in
the best of shape for the bout, and as
a result Hole proved strong enough
to make the match interesting, and
kept the veteran wrestler from
downing him twice in the time speci-
fed. Fenby took the first fall in six
and a half minutes.
Young Ward of Saginaw and Jerry
Otto of Alma then staged a boxing
match of four two minute rounds.
Ward had the better of Otto at the
start, but the Alma man came back
strongly on points towards the finish.
Commander Reese of the Legion
post announced before the next bout
that the post was very strongly in
clined to secure aboxing show permit
from the state boxing commission.
calling attention TO the way that the
sport had been advanced in the army.
and the fact that under the state box
ing commission it could be nothing
else than clean. Some of the busi-
ness men and others present were
asked what support they would give
to such movement, and when Com
mander Reese was assured that sup
port would be given the Legionaires
IN the move, he stated that the club
would plan to secure such a permit.
Hoffman Of Saginaw West Side and
Weedock of Saginaw East Side then
staged lively four round session,
that was ful Of pep and punch. The
lads made "A fine impression on the
crowd, and there is strong talk of
bringing them back to Alma in the
near future for an eight or ten round
bout
The athletic card was brought to
close with six round bout between
Kid Charles of Bay City and Billy
CARPENTER of Saginaw. 1t brought
out flashes of real action, that made
hit with the fans, but did rot hold
the interest that the former go held.
Carpenter clearly had the edge over
his Bay City opponent.
A lunch Of "hot dogs" and coffee
was served Immediately following
the main bout, to which the crowd did
full justice
