who in the warm months OF the

made the cold chills creep up his
spine and which gave him more
concern than three men on bases
and none out. His professional
training OF acting quickly, probably
saved his life.
Belts. who r. better known as
"Huck.''" makes his home at Mills
boro. where the hunting Is excep-
tionally good. and wishing TO keep
in condition for his strenuous sum
mer work. has every day been
shouldering his gun and pursuing

supposed. a briar that persistently
kept cilnging to his legs. When he
managed to get into the open what
was his horror 10 discover a large
copper-head snake tightly wrapped
about the calf OF his leg Quick as
a fash. before the reptile struck,
he jammed the heel OF his shoe
against the poisonous snakes head,
and held Il 10 the ground while he
unwound the coils from his leg

LAZAROS HERE, WANTS
TO GRAPPLE BERT

Fritz Lazaros. Of New York city.
Is In this city 10 remain about two
months. While here he would like
TO meet any Of the local wrestlers.
Lazaros weighs 15s pounds. but will
concede twelve pounds to any local
man. Wilmington has a number OF
grapplers at that weight. but none
seem TO want any OF the New York
ers game. Lazaros would specially
like TO meet Charles Leggos. Bear
cat Virgins or Herbert Booze. n
none OF the local men come for
ward to accept Lazaros' den. n IN
likely that some good out-of town
man will be brought here to meet
the big Swede.
Probably the most popular OUT
of-town grappler that ever appeared
here was Henry PetroslSy, Of Coates.
Vile. and II noe or the local mer
come forward within the next few
days. Il is likely that an effort vii
be made 20 have the CoatesvfIie
meet Lazaros at one OF the loca
halls. Petrosky's last appearance
hcre was when ne met John Bar
clay at the Y. NJ. H. A. Hall. This
bout resulted IN a two-hour draw.
