Strangler Lewis Coming Wednesday
 To Meet PadOnney
Wrestling Champion to Give Polish Giant a Chance
 at the Casino

Bridgeport sporting followers will be given an opportunity of watching Ed Strangler Lewis in action next Wednesday night against Stasis Pa donney, the Polish giant, at the Ca slno- Though the efforts of Jack Curley, the New York promoter, this bout will be shown and there will be a hot preliminary to start off the nights work.
 Lewis is the man who recently beat Joe Stecher for the cham mpionship and defeated him so decisively that the former champion is now in a west ern hospital suffering with neuritis. Even though he knows of Stecher's condition, Padonney is eager to get chance at the champion and be- Heves his headlock will fail to make any impression upon him.
 Padonney has been in this country only a short time. He came to the United States to get a chance at Lew is even before the latter had arrang- ed to meet Stecher. He followed him around several places, but the champ put him off until Jack Curley talked it over and the Strangler agreed to meet the contender for his title here in Bridgeport.

MEN ARE EAGER TO SERVE ON
 MIXED JURY

Smcthport, Pa. Jan. 1f-Men who have all their lives endeaNored to keep their names out of the Jury wheel are now making a mad rush to get their names in the wheel in Me Eean county. This is due to the iact that women will be included as Jur. ors from now on, it is said. k (. Pollock of Bradford. and w. Ii. Morrison of this city. Jury Com nlS- sioncrs arc finding their mail full Of requests hy men to serve as jurors.
 The filing, about conpleted- con tainS about 500 names. one-half of them being women. Juries composed of both sexes hereafter will be the rule although in some cases efforts may be made to have the jury com posed entirely of women.
 The fact that mixed juries' are to bc the rule in the future raises seV- cral interesting questions. Suppose july is deadlocked, will the women agree on a compromise verdict. Jur- ies arc sworn to secrecy. Will the women be able to refrain from tat fling all that was done inside the jury room? And if there is an all-night session. will the women sit up all night where will they put the women? The law says a jury can not be divided or separated even in the event of a long drawn out af- fair. Then again the question arises what sort of games will they play after tiring of deliberations when the jury is hung up-poker, craps or bridge?
