WISE GUYS BELIEVE
VINCENTINI SLATED
TO LACE PAL MORAN
Fairplay Takes a We-shau-
see Attitude Toward
This Fight.
BY FAIRPLAY..

Copyright BY The san Antonio Light.
New York, April S0.-There is a
growing belief among the wise guys
that Luis Vicentini stands sood
chance of taking Pal Moran when
they meet on Friday night.
But investigations show that the
only warrant for this belief is the fact
that Vicentini would be much bet
ter drawing card against Benny Leon
ard than would Moran. Sometimes
this means much; sometimes nothing.
Just why the Chilean would be
more of a drawing card in a battle
for the lightweight title than Paolo
would be. relates to the fact that
Luis is foreigner and Moran an
American citizen. The fashion these
days is all for international encoun-
tiers. Benny can grab Moran as an
opponent any time he wants him and,
anyway. since the two have met be-
fore. the edge would be taken off an
other meeting.
But should Vicentini. who is a flat
footed. heavy-hitting type of boxer.
stow Moran away or outpoint him by
a convincing margin, there would be a
great public outpouring to see him in
action against the worlds lightweight
champion.
The above also may answer for the
reason why victory of Romcro-Ro-
jas over Floyd johnson would be more
agreeable for the promoters than vice
versa. But unless Floyd finds diff
Guilty in removing his fat and at the
same time has gone back lot there
seems every reason why he should RUE
as prime favorite against the South
American.
Ermino Spalla of South America,
who made an excellent showing
against F'irpo before he succumbed,
looks like the best of the foreigners
at the present time. Nick Kline has
a mortgage on Spalla's services until
January l, Of next year and il re-
mains 10 he seen what he will do
about it. Kline has signed. his name

Spallas appearance against Tunney

these agreements? Possibly. No one
ever can tell what a fighter will do.
As the situation stands, Ermino.
with Firpo out of the country. could
pick up a pile of money touring the

reputation. And in the end he coul'l

This being so. it seems doubtful that

DIAMOND THEFTS
 LAID TO GIRL, Is

An investigation into the cases against Miss Gladys Brassfield, 1S, of Shannon mines, who is alleged to have been working 'bunco" game on local jewellers while coed at Birmingham Southern college, will be made Monday by the Birmingham-Souther faculty. Dr. Guy E. Snavely, president of the college. announced Saturday night.
 Until called by an Age-Herald re- porter Dr. Snavely was unaware of the charges against the young woman, he said. It was only after he had called the dean of the women that he was certain that there was Miss Gladys Brassfield in college.
 If there are any grounds for the charges the young woman will be drop ped from the college immediately" Dr. Snavely said. The doctor said she would be given a fair trial.
 Miss Brassfield is alleged to have been detected in the act of swapping an imitation diamopd for a good one, at the Moore Jewelry company. Previous to her arrest she is alleged to have vic timized the Ash and Jaffe Jewelry com panies through similar method.
 Following these thefts a description of the young woman was sent to all other jewellers and when Miss Brass field came into Moore's Friday she was detained by the employees until the po- lice and operatives from Booker Detec- tive agency arrived. They are alleged to have recovered the Moore ring from the young woman. Miss Brassfield de- nied all knowledge of the charges when she was questioned Friday at police headquarters. She was released on bond after three warrants charging grand larceny were sworn out against her by City Detectives Propst and Cole.

HAVE DARK HAIR
 AND LOOK YOUNG
Nobody Can Tell When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair
 With Sage Tea

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully. darkened, glossy and attractive with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this sim pie mixture was applied with wonder full effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" you will get large bottle of this oId-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This sim pie mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 Well-known druggists say everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound now because it darkens so natu- rally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied-it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; af- ter another application or two; it is re- stored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful.-Adv.

INTRODUCING HER HUSBAND Bride Does It With Triumphant Air
 Later It's "This Is Bill"

Listen while the bride introduces her man. "This," she says, "is my husband. In her tone is a vast pride. It is tic tone employed by the man who caught an eight-pound bass and the man whose walls are adorned with antlers spreading six feet. -,-.
 It means that she has travelled long and weary way and at last has arrived It means that after long travel she has captured knight, hero, god, a male who is flawless in all ways and can do no wrong.
 But the months pass, as months will, and she observes him in his pajamas without shave and with rumpled hair. She discovers that his knees knock. She discovers that he won't walk under a ladder. She discovers that he cusses unbeautifully when a rear tire explodes. She discovers that he pouts and that he thinks his mother in many ways su- perior to her.
 Things happen that way. And now hear~her when she introduces her hus- band. This" she says, lis Bill.' Her tone is the one she would use if con fessing that the milk was sour, that the children had the measles, that ali her decent frocks were at home, that the mole on her left cheek was in herited.
 Bill doesn't mind especially. He has learned the philosophy that comes to the rescue of all husbands. He knows he never can hope to be credit to his wife, but the 'fellers" still think him all right He is good old Bill,' who pays when his time comes.-Baltimore Evening Sun.

Congestion Caused B, Dry Violations Cited
 As Reason
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The coll dition of business in the federal courts throughout the c,santry requires the creation of additional judgeships in the opinion of federal circuit judges who have been in conference here three days with Chief Justice Taft.
 After a careful review of the dockets in each of the district courts, it was the decision of the conference today that the congestion in the federal courts could be relieved only by additional judges. The conference found that in the large cities and in other districts where. conditions lead to many viola tions of the Volstead act, the conges- ton in the criminal business has i'm creased notwithstanding the recent in crease in the number of district judges. It also was found by the conference that the increased volume in civil busi- ness could not be adequately handled by the present force.
 To relieve the present congestion the conference. renewed it's recommendation creation of two new circuit judgeships made to Congress a year ago for the to be assigned to the Eighth circuit, embracing the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, North and South Da- kota, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico, and for three new district judges to be assigned two to southern New York and one to northern Geor- gia. Not only are all these judges necessary, the conference reported, but the increase in the volume of business now makes it necessary to have in ad- dition another district judge for west ern New York and one for Maryland,
 The conference will submit to the judiciary committees of the two houses of Congress an amendment to the bank ruptcy act by which the distinction be- tween petitions to revise" and "ap- peals" only. This, the conference de- cided, would materially contribute to expediting bankruptcy business.
