Romero Outpoints
StOesseI at ". York

New York, June 1S-Quintin Rom
Gro, Chilean heavyweight. made
great comeback in the American ring
tonight when he decIsively outpoint-
ed Joe Stoessel, rangey New York
heavyweight in Il 12-round bout at
the Nelodrome a. e. The Chilean
was on the aggressive during most of
the bout and won by d Goudly mar
gin.
Romero, who was stopped by Floyd
johnson, Iowa heavyweight, in his
American debut at Madison Square
Garden, recently fought a great fight
against his .Amrican opponent.
Starting in cautiously to feel out
Stoessel, the Chilean gained conf
dence as the bout progressed and in
the fifth round took the aggressive.
From that point on the outcome was
never a question. His straight right
working perfectly and his marksman-
ship good. the South American used
this blow effectively, Earring Stoes-
sci continually and the lanky New
Workers. jaw was an ideal target for
that straight punch.
Romero also brought his uppercut
into play and just to mix up his pun
lshment he tossed in this punch at
intervals as Stoessel could find no
defense for it.
The men fought at close quarters
during most OF the match, neither
gained any advantage in the might
ing. Once Romero got his bearings
he threw all of his power into that
right hand and with this blow punch
ed his way TO victory.
Stoessel was bewildered by the fur
iousness of Romero's attack. He at
tempted to jab and met some success
with this style of attack but his
blows lacked power.
Romero's showing tonight, while it
does not entirely blot out his defeat
by Johnson, assures him of a place
in the American heavyweight class
which will likely result in many more
agements.
The semi final match, staged after
the Romero Stoessel bout, on account
of threatening weather, resulted in a
victory for Leo Gates of New York
over Jimmy Maloney of Boston by
way of the technical knockout route
when the referee stopped the match
after two minutes and thirty two
seconds of fighting in the fourth
round.
In six round preliminary George
Antioch of White Plains, n. Y, scor-
ed a technical knockout over Andy
Schmader, of Omaha in 81 seconds of
the first round.
In a four round preliminary Carl
Johnson of New York gained a
judges verdict over Jack Middleton
of Jacksonville, Fla. The threaten
ing weather whitfield the crowd down
to the 5000 level.

What sort of signals do you
recommend for use between a
catcher and a pitcher? How
should they be given?
Answered by
RAY SCHALK

Catcher, Chicago White Sox: One Of
the greatest backstops Of all time. Re
has caught in 100 or more games per
season for the past 12 years. a
For amateurs, my advice concerning
signals is to keep them few and simple.
Too often an amateur team worries
more about the signals than it does
about playing good baseball. The re-
suit is a very poor brand of baseball.
Some of the most successful amateur
players l know have but three signals
between catcher and pitchcr-curve
signal. fast ball, and slow ball. I rec
ommend that signals be given with the
fingers, which should he shielded by
the glove and the legs so as to avoid
detection.

AVOID THE LAST MINUTE
RUSH


Last year, through the generous
cooperation Of the press, the movies,
and ISother advertising mediums,
Christmas mailers were induced to
dispatch their Yuletide presents
earlier in the month than ever be-
fore in the history Of the institution
or gift exchanging in the holiday
season.
/. AS result. the spectacle of the
last minute rush of former years,
with it's attendant heartbreaking
labor on the part of wearied and
worn store clerks and postal en-
ployees, was avoided.
This year Postmaster General
New and First Assistant Postmaster
General John H. Bartlett have deter
mined to make an even better rec
ord and to Danish for all time the
suffering undergone in past years by
those engaged in the sale or trans
portation of gifts. They hope to
make "Shop EARLY" and Mail Early
IA habit with the American people.
I Mailing early does not mean Dec.
OF before, but il everyone could
set their holiday tokens in the man
between December 10 and December
20, the post Office could not ask
more.J
Particular attention this year will
be paid ITO greeting cards. Despite
the success last year it was noted
that the, last-minute mail consisted
largely of cards. Possibly many OF
them were returned greetings ito
friends, heard from on previous
mail, but overlooked on the original
/ Christmas list. Unlike parcels and
! letters containing money orders,
cards, of course, can not well be
marked Do Not Open Until Christ
mas" Therefore, it is possible that
the many mailers hold them until
the last to insure delivery on Christ
mas, Eve. This class of mailers this
year, however, may find their cards
undelivered until after Christmas
lDay.
Believing that the energies of pos
tai employees should not be Slapped
to the last degree for any avoidable
reason, and, intent upon securing
for them the same Christmas priv
| ileges enjoyed by others, Postmaster
General New asks the hearty co.
Operation of the public. The last
minute, or zero hour has been
moved up SO that all postal EN-.
ployees may eat their Christmas
dinners at home. Rural carriers
will deliver no mail at all on Christ
mas day and clerks and carriers in
| the city offices will stop work
promptly at noon.

The stvetch OF road already su.

Lewes and Rehoboth, comprising
sixteen miles in all. This was built
in the latter part of 1921 and the
early spring OF 1922

sixteen miles shows, that already 81
new buildings, with assessable value
OF $93,100 on low figuring, have
been erected This does not include
The land, but simply the improve

on-assessable properties have not
been added.
On the portion of the Lewes-
Harbeson road, which was com
pleted last year, and is about eight
and one-half miles long, there have
been eight new dwellings erected,
with a total value of $2S,30O.
OF the total of 81 buildings on the
Lewes-Rehoboth2 road, twenty-five
are dwellings. The road is the
latest and of the best concrete

The survey is the first to be made
in Delaware with the idea of deter
