Hitting The
 WITH C. K. FIRSTBROOK Sport Trail

With boxing suspended in Brtdge~ port until spring the oldtime ''snok- ers'' would be a delicious treat, re- marked one of Bridgeport's ring reg uIars the other day. But such a thing Is Impossible as long as the State Ath- letic Commission prescribes that the same fees apply to promoters of min iature shows as those assessed against the big fellows. It seems that there should be some leeway established whereby the once popular ''smoker'' show could be revived. It was at these shows that aspiring boxers got an opportunity to display their abil- ity and it was also an avenue for bouts on the big show carts. Fans would like to see the state boxing so- Ions take action that would permit a resumption of the small and pop ular priced shows.

Stauffer will get an Oppor- tunity to develop into a topnotch ar tist with the advantage of being coached and handled by experienced catchers. The catcher in a large measure is often the maker of good pitchers. It has been said by many baseball critics that if twirIer has the stuff' the going is much easier in the major leagues than in the "buSheS.'

story of the great criminal at bay

country house where he is dying of
sse which has already para
,lvzedthe lower part of his body.
But even in the moment of sue
cpss. NJ. Jonquelle senses that he
a0as been beaten. The great trimi-
nal wanted for bond theft in Eng

and at Bar Harbor met the beauti-
ful American girl. Although Grim
ioal. his sense of decency was out
ragged when he saw that dissipated
Englishman, Westridge, was at
tempting to marry her for her
money.
He went to Westridge, told him
that he was an old friend of the
qirls father and that he knows the
girl must have $4,000 to save Sc
curities which she has foolishly
bought on margin. The criminal
tells how he produced the security
for loan which Westridge raised
and then gave to him to turn over
to the girl.
