Tommy usually allows Eddie Ksns

I must get a shot at Dempsey's
title this summer. We have chal-
lenged him twice and two clubs made
him good offers 70 meet me but he
hasn't even answered them. When
is he going TO box? I not only
want a Dempsey match but a con-
est with any OF the other contenders.
The New York boxing commits
sion asked me to fight Bill Brennan
but Floyd Johnson got the match.
But Brennan wouldn't go into the
ring with me with pair OF six ounce
guns instead OF gloves and the same
holds good for Johnson. I'd like

Another problem that IS rather
troubling the coach Is the foul

Most Unusual Debut / EUer Sat,

The debut OF any recruit pitcher
in the majors Is the big event Of his
, baseball career.
I have seen a number OF recruits
come and go. often the debut OF
certain recruit pitchers marks their
finish. Some meet with remarks BILE
success. others have only ordinary
luck. and. for a great many II is a
calamity.
The most unueusl debut I ever
saw a recruit pitcher make in the
majors. was put on by Ray Keating,
who for a number Of years was
valuable member OF the New York
Yankees pitching staff.
Heating was a spit-ball pitcher,
and he had a varied assortment OF
moist deceivers. The umpire who
called balls and strikes with Keat-
ing doing the pitching always had a
busy day.
The first time ever saw Heating
was in a game at st. Louie. The
Browns were leading by lop-sided
score. A Yankee pinch hitter was
sent in TO bat in the eighth inning
for the pitcher. and Heating was
delegated to work the last half Of
the inning.
Gossip had been going the rounds
that Keating had a choice lot of
foolere, but lacked control. Before
The inning was over I was positive
that gossip was correct for once.
Heating walked the first man to
face him, the count being three balls
and two strikes when the fiRal pitch
went wild. The next batter struck
out, once again the count being

Wilmington High School will face
ono OF the hardest tests in two
branches OF sports on Friday. when
the annual Chester basketball game
will be played in the afternoon. As
a preliminary. the girls varsity
team will match wits against the
Tower Hin sextet. Then for clos
ing number the swimming team will
journey to Philadelphia for their
first dual meet with the Girard Col
lege team.
But the Chester contest stands
out more to the entire student body
than any OF the other games TO be
played that day. Day by day" the
spirit OF the students Is growing
better and many OF them are in
quiring as 20 the chances OF the
Cherry and White team this sea

basketball team are being discussed
among tho boys and most all of
them express an opinion In favor OF
'heir alma mater capturing the big
game.
when the Delaware avenue team
played It's first basketball game OF
the season against tha Newark High
school i've the students predlc.ed
that Coach Ashton had crack
team. Now since two more games
have been played, some OF them
have changed their opinion. II
must be remembered that on two
occasions did the Wilmlngtonian
have slight advantages. but lacked
the final punch. II will be a diff
ferent team that trots out in the
school tym Friday afternoon. This
quintet will have tho real fighting
spirit and intends giving every bit
to bring glory 10 their school.
The coach has had a hard time
IN finding a suitabis man for the
pivot post. He has tried three men
and each one OF them had a few
faults. The first wes Richards. who

Il Is likely that he may get the
call 10 substitute for Lichtenstein or

Next IN row was 'NCanuck" Fietch-
er. who stands six feet three inches.
He has the height but at times per-
forms little arkwardly. The
lanky footballer has outtapp.d ev-N

ICE CREAM A REAL FOOD

Ice cream, short time ago, was
thot of and used only as luxury,
but now we know that every time
that we eat dish of good, whole
some Ice Cream we are adding a
rich supply to the materials with
which the body is fed and repaired.
For, Ice Cream is made almost wholly
of rich, pure cream and milk and
therefore contains the very things
that help US to grow and to build up
our bodies so that they are strong
and active and capable of resisting
disease. Science and actual ex-
perience in both home and hospital
have proven it to be a necessary and
very nourishing food. Ice cream
soothes and nourishas the sick back
to health and strength, because it is
so easily digested and so rich in food
value. 1t strengthens and sustains
the healthy of all ages, because It
contains this element of food so
necessary to health and strength.
1t puts color in the cheeks of youth
and laughter in the eye of age. Eat
more of it, We young and old, because
it is a real food, an all-the-year
round food.
