MCCOY DETERMINED
TO 'KAYO' PANCHO

Johnny Mccoy has made up his
mind that he's going TO knock out
Kid PanchO in their long-heralded H.
round encounter in the Fort Sam
Houston ring next Friday night.
In fact, Johnny has been told that
its IN to him to give Pancho a very
decisive whipping il he wants to get
on any more local cards. And Johnny,
an earnest little person, always anx
ious to please, yearns to administer
said licking.
I'm put him on the floor this
time" says John, in his quiet, unas-
Stunning manner, which means he'll try
mighty hard to do it.
Pancbo. Of course, laughs at this.
The boys are none too friendly-no
joke. They almost had "prelimin
airy bout in the offices Of the post
athletic officer at Fort Sam Houston
the other morning.
Perhaps there will be knockout,
onc way or the other.

LOOKS FAST
IN BOUT At KELLY

Leo Palmer, featherweight from
Juarez, Mexico, who recently was add
cd to Don Curley's stable of fighters
here, lived up to his advance reputa-
ton by giving Mickey Cromwell,
Kelly Field, neat lacing in the 10
round main event of the Labor Day
afternoon card at Kelly Field.
The little Mexican exhibited pis-
ton left hand and positive mania for
mitigating which gave him the best Of
practically every one of the two min
ute rounds,
Palmer looked fast in his ability 70
make the Kelly Field Irishman miss
repeated right-hand swings. He was
at his best at infighting, beating
vicious tattoo on Cromwell's stomach
and ears.
The short rounds aided the Filler
in weathering several severe storms.
As q result of Palmer's showing in
his initial tryout before a local audi
ence, fans are looking forward to
slam bang battle when he hooks up
with slugging Johnny Merino in the
semi-windup to the Kid Pancho-
Johnnie Mccoy 12-rounder at Fo-t
Sam Houston Friday night.
Windmill Jimmie Barrera disposed
of Andrew Griffin in the fourth round
of their scheduled six-round semi-final
scrap, the referee stopping the affair
to save the soldier further punish
ment. Sergeant Woolsford of Brooks
Field and Otto Terrell Of Kelly Field,
i f. L.,
10 a draw. Privates Folsom and
Stockton, both of Kelly Field, fought
the four-round curtain-raiser, with
Folsom getting slightly the better Of
the argument.
Kid Pancho appeared in n six-round
exhibition bout with Jack Avalon and
appeared to be in the best shape of his
career.

BEAR RECRUIT SWATS
. EN- HARD IN CLASS D

Unofficial batting averages released
at the close of the Texas Association
season prove that Prexy Harry Ables
apparently plucked plum in that cir
cult when he signed up young Sammy
Lance, Temple third-baseman, for a
late season try-out. Lance collected
a batting average of .344 during the
season. He finished fourth among
those battcrs who participated in 100
or more games.
Eddie Miller, another recruit from
Temple, who is said to look good to
Pilot Bob Coleman after several after
Moons spent in patroling the left field
area, compiled an average OF .3O4 Ill
119 games.
Bryan Naylor, San Antonio boy who
reported to the Austin club in mid
season, finished well up in the batting
list with an average Of 81.
Lind, who has proven sensation
at first base for Dallas during its
bclated pennant rush, closed the Tex
as Association season with an aver
age of $50, one point behind Jolley
Of Corsicana, leading batter of the
circuit, who goes to the Coast League.
The entire pitching staff of both
Temple and Corsicana won half or
better of their games. Kelsey Jen,,
nings, up until the time he reported
to the Bears, had won nine and lost
eight games with Terrell.

club back, letting the wrists break
slightly at the top, as you would with
a hammer; then you let your arms
start to fall toward the ball, largely
of their own weight and inclination,
and let the clubhead whip through,
applying some pressure just as it hits
the ball, exactly as you apply pres
sure to the hammer on the nail. Keep
about as loose with the club as you
would with the hammer-just enough
hold of the shaft to command it.
Don't try to force" the shaft. for

ball with yourself rather than with
the clubhead.

U.s.. VS.. FRANCE
IN FINAL FOR
DAVIS CUP

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. S.-R--
The challenge round for the Davis Cup,
emblem of international tennis su.
premacy, will have a new cast this
year. For the first time in the quar-
ter century of competition, Frances
actors will take part in the final
scene, with America in the defending
role, in a series of five matches on
the turf of the Germantown Cricket
Club, Thursday, Friday and Satur'
day.
Four times in the last five years Of
victorious reign, the United States
has beaten back the forces of Aus
tralia. Japan's challenge was re-
pulsed in 1921.

BOROTRA IN FORM.

America, relying once more on the
seasoned brilliancc of Tilden, John
ston, Richards and Williams, will be
favored to keep the famous trophy at
home for the sixth year in a row,
but it will be in jeopardy, at least, if
Jean Borotra continues the dazzling
streak that chiefly accounted for the
defeat Of Australia in the inter-zone
Coste, RECEIVERS the form that carried
him to championship heights at VIM
bledon earlier this year.
Frances entry into the challenge
round not only has increased interest
in the championship matches but the
manner of her triumph over Australia
in the last elimination test at Forest
Hills has put an entirely new front on
the situation. Frances main hopes
had been pinned upon the cool and
quiet La Coste, 20-year-old champion
of Europe, but it was the volatile,
hitherto cratic Jean Borotra. who
brought triumph to the tri-colors.
TRUST BUSTERS"
Frances climb to the challenge
round marks the third time in Davis
Cup history that the monopoly of Aus
tralia, Great Britain and the United
States has been broken in the final
tests. With the exception of Bel.
gums 1924 challenge, when the
United States and Australia did not
compete and Japan's 1921 challenge,
all previous title to the rounds have
been confined TO the three English
speaking rivals. In the nineteen cham
pionship series since 1000, the United
States has won eight, Australia six
and Great Britain five.

THIEF CAUGHT
IN ACT ROBBING
STORE WINDOW

About four O'Clock on Tuesday
morning of this week, a man who
gave his name as Beebe was caught
by Dennis Mccarthy, local police Of
ficer, in the act of robbing the south
window Of the Cullen Music COM
pany store. He had taken merchan-
disc owned by T. Kazmerchak,
jeweler, and James Cullen, proprietor
OF the store, valued at about $3.50.
Practically all Of the goods taken
have been returned to the owners.
Beebe, who has been in Rawlins
for about ten days, doing nothing, on
Monday night was seen hanging
around the street near the Cullen
store. Two Of the police officers had
made their rounds and 1t Is believed
that Beebe had been watching them
for shortly after they passed the store
he went down the street and stopped
In front Of the Cullen building. Dem
mis- Mccarthy, who was also on his
rounds, saw Beebe and believing
him to be a suspicious looking
character watched the man from
around the Ferguson building corner.
Mccarthy states that Beebe backed
up to the window and broke 1t, with
his elbow he thought. A brick found
les the building however. tends to
the view that Beebe broke the win
dow with the brick.
Mccarthy caught the man as he
was taking the merchandise from
the window. Beebe was arrested and
placed in the county jail.
This is the second time within a
period of two months that the south
window of the Cullen Music Company
store has been broken and merchan-
disc stolen. The first time was on
December 9th when a thief got away
with goods valued at about $500.
This loss was suffered by T. Kazmer-
chalk who has a jewelry line and
watch repairing stand in the store.
On Tuesday morning Beebe took
about SIS or $40 worth Of optical
goods belonging to James Cullen. the
rest of the merchandise which was
stolen was owned by T. Kazmerchak.
