SCHWAB FIELD GAME
Atamo-Peck Indians Meet
Kelly Field in Benefit
Contest Saturday.

The Alamo-Peck Indians and Kelly
Field will meet at Schwab Field Sat
urdny afternoon in a baseball game
for the benefit of the Salvation Army
drive. George Schwab. lessee of
Schwab Field, has given the use of his
park free for the game. and players.
umpires and park employees will work
free of charge so that the entire sym
raised might go to the San Antonio
home service fund of the Salvation
Army.
The game itself promises TO be in
teresting. The Kelly Field club is
one of the strongest that has repre-
scented the field since the early DAYS
Of the war. when Long George Kelly,
Eddie Brown and other stars per-
formed there. The team gave the
Joske nine an awful "rassle" last Sun
day before being beaten out by one run
in the ninth inning. and the Joskc
team jealousy claims to be right on
par with the Alamo-Pecks.
There will be a band and other
frills Saturday.
The game will be called at 3 80.
Admission will be % cents general

New York, March 2S-If they don't

pions against fighters who have no
chance somebody is going to get killed
one of these days. And then the old
hue and cry will be raised again
against boxing.
There was Floyd Johnson's battle
against Ray Thompson in which the
man who is TO meet Willard scored
Il knockout in twenty seconds. Now
Ray is a nice, clean young boy. a
soldier who got shot up in the war
where so few of our leading prize
fighters went-but he long ago dem
onustrated that he is not qualified to
stand up against the big 'uns. Yet
he was stacked up against Floyd
johnson, who, as everyone knows, or
should know, far out-classed Thomp-
son.
This pitting of Farmer Lodge
against Luis Firpo was another such
match. The Didactic Duke of Null

Soldering Always Important Point in
the Proper Care Of Electric
Contacts in Radio Work.

All electric contacts should be sol
dered. There are plenty of reasons
why this step should never be omitted.
In radio work the aerial currents are
always feeble. 1t does not do to lose
any. No better leak device is known
than a haekle of sharp points. Elec-
trio charges escape by this route into
the surrounding air at every oppor-
tunity.
When electrons find a region set
with narrowing edges and points they
crowd into 1t, driven by their powers
Of mutual repulsion. Voltages become
high ont on narrow areas. Electrons
find ii easier TO leap to molecules of
air nearby than to stay among their
kind on the point. There is a remedy
that is easily applied. Bend down all
