The Groom
Friends
Are Many Times
at a Disadvantage

All wedding gifts are sent to
the bride, and friends of the
groom are placed in an awk-
ward position many times.
1t is the brides taste that
will furnish the home and it is
sometimes difficult to send
gifts to one whom you have
never met.
1t becomes, therefore, quite
a problem to know what will ,
please her. Personal gifts are :
out OF the question. Silver is
always most acceptable, but
, perhaps you wish to spend
more than a single piece costs ,
and less than service would
come to-we can supply gifts
at most any price that will be !
) useful and pleasing to the
most discriminating.
How often do you clean !
your extra silver? Would it
be worth soc a year to you to .
, know that the next time you
have a party that your silver ,
will be as bright and clean as I
} the day you put it away. If
so, let US show you our

The picture above is that of the

connection with this club is the fact
that all the members are now living,
and all able TO play ball except one.
The two in the front row of the pic

NEAR RIOT WHEN

LOSER DECISION
1000 Fans See Greb
Mauled Around For
Is Bouts

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Sports who
took a heavy fall on wrong way bets
were clamoring loudly today for
the official housetops to tumble in
on the two judges and the referee
who gave Gene Tunney the decision
over Harry Greb after Is round
contest last night in Madison Square
Tunney retained the title as the
American light heavyweight cham
pion on just and meritorious de-
cision, was followed by a long dem
onstration of Gisapproval by small
part Of the IL 900 fans who saw the
bout and several dried to get into
the ring to punch Joe Hunphries,
the announcer.
From the third round or when
Tunney began to punish Greb with
punches to the body Greb did no
thing but hold for his life.
Tunney was IN splendid shape.
Greb was overweight. Sensing this
Tunney confined his attack to the
body and he took most of the circus
gymnastics out of the middleweight
champion.
Tunney's work was spotty, how
ever He showed the effects of hav-
ing been out of the ring too long,
His timing was poor and HIS direc-
.ion faulty. Had he been tuned up
on good stiff fight he might have
stopped Greb. any time after the
fourth round.
