special Dlspatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 1.-THE
outstanding feature of the Curb Ex-
change trading today was the spec
tacular selling of Serv-El Corpora
ton issues which carried the per
cent bonds down at one time below
81. to the lowest at which the issue
has ever sold and off more than 16
points on the day.
A break of this magnitude in the
bond issue was cause for considerable
anxiety on the part of holders, and
was the basis for comment in specu-
lative quarters. At the same time
Serv-El common stock went to new
low levels, below 6, as against the
previous final 7b.
While these offerings were having
their effect upon the market for Serv-
Ell issues. Electric Refrigeration 6s
bonds were holding firm at the previ-
Gus closing Of SO. This was clear
enough proof that there was nothing
in the situation of the industry itself
to account for the break in ServEl
bonds and stocks, and that offerings
were the result of some special rea-
son pertaining to the corporation it.

WOOL MARKET DULL.

BOSTON. December II (SpeciaD.-
The Boston wool market continued
dull today under the influence of sea-

are shopping around for bargains.

the third round of the women's sim
giles of the Mentone tennis tourna-
ment, 60, 6-3. Frau Neppach was
the only remaining player Of prom

German woman was unable to give
the American champion a semblance
Of a battle except in the second set.
Paired with ]. H. Van Allen of

the quarter finals in the mixed dou-

which she at first did not intend
to play.

When she was asked to choose be-
tween the abilities of the French and
American champions, she replied
automatically: "They are both Won

Bath, Mar. 3.-The Bath Y. NJ.
C. A. is sending fast outfit to rep
resent the Shipping City "Y" at the

be held at Augusta, March 20. Two
years ago Bath took first honors at
the Capital City tournament and are

They will be without the services
of Perkins, the Bath ace, but his
shoes will be filled by Frank Ding
ley, the deaf and dumb center, who
is we'll known in the amateur cir
cles of Maine. and despite his physi-
cal impairments, has proven himself
as one of the fastest men on the
Bath A. c. squad of this city. Gill
more and McCabe, both veteran for
wards on the undefeated Bath team,
will hold down the role of forwards
on the Y. M. c. A. outfit. Slower
captain of the Bath A. C.'s, will
play back for the institution team,
as will Spinney, another product of

crew.
Fast teams are expected to be en-
countered both from Auburn and
Augusta, but with fair breaks the
Bath outfit hopes to return with an
other trophy.

WALKER OUT FOR :
QUICK win over
TEXACO TERRIER

Bud Walker. who meets TeXaco
Pete in one of tue bouts at the Harry
Sears show tomorrow night at City
Hall thinks that the Texaco Terrier
isn't half as tough as he pretends to
be and announces that Pete won't
walk away with very many OF his
haymakers on the jaw. The Winthrop
heavyweight has been getting in trim
without saying much and plans to
remove every obstacle to a bout with
Oily Bert Tenney and that as Pete is
one of the obstacles he is going to
be one of the unfortunate ones.
Walker, who is starting his ring
campaign at this show is one of the
toughest specimens to have ever
stepped into a ring at City Hall and
fans who know the Winthrop boy say
that Oily Bert, Texaco Pete and the
numerous other iron men who have
boxed here are weak compared with
Bud. Walker is credited with pos
sessing an awful wallop and all his
life has been fighting for nothing, but
considers that he might as well go
into the game where the opponents
are rougher and tougher and where
there is real money for doing the
work. Getting money just for kayo-
ing a few men in the course of an
evening is just like finding a pocket
book for Bud as the latter figures
that seeing that he would probably
be doing it anyway just for the fun
of it the money is like a gift.
The Winthrop battler says that he
is going for Pete at the first tap of
the gong and the first gong is all
Pete is going to hear. He plans to
tuck Pete to sleep early enough, to
catch the $50 car for Winthrop and
the bout doesn't start until 9.15. This
bout should be one of the best on the
card which includes two top notch
ers, a curtain raiser and several other
attractions which are not advertised.
Harry had originally planned for
some music but as Walker promised
to play a bass drum solo on Texaco
Pete's ears this part of the enter
tainment will probably be omitted.
Tickets for the bout are on sale at
the usual placeS-AdV

Waterville, March 3.-Delta Kappa
Epsilon and the Lancer Club teams
were winners today in their games in
the Colby internationally basketball
league by reason of victories over the
Non-F'raternity and Alpha quintets.
The Dekes won their game 60-33,
while the Lancers were on the long
end 22-15. The Non-frat defeat was
a surprise but decisive and the work
of Cooke and Ferguson was the
main factor in the win. For the
losers Savage was the star with Nal
Ter and Gunnerson also playing we'll.
Tom Caulfield was as usual the main

TWO CHAMPIONS
TO Defend CROWNS
IN GOTHAM RINGS

New York, March 3-(AP)-Two
boxing championships, thewelter-
weight and the middleweight prob
ably will be thrown into New York
rings before the indoor season ends.
Harry Greb, who lost his title to
the negro, Tiger Flowers, at Madison
Square Garden Friday night. has
signed for a return bout by May II,
the Tiger having offered to meet any
challenger within three months.
Mickey Walker, the welterweight
king, has returned to the good graces
Of the New York state athletic COM
mission and has advised to accept
the def of Tommy Milligan Of Scot
land.
Greb, with three months to prepare
for an effort to regain the honors he
had valiently held for three years af-
ter taking them from Johnny Wilson,
may be expected to face Flowers a
far different boxer than the one who
appeared in the Garden ring, Friday.
At that time 1t appeared that train
ing down to 100 pounds had given
him difficulty. He seemed drawn and
already tired before the contest
started.
Several sports writers conceded the
majority Of rounds to Greb despite
his failure to produce his usual Wig
orous offensive. Only twice during
the Is rounds did his famed two fist
ed onslaught appear, and then only
when he seemed to be exasperated by
tn Tigers aggressiveness. Greb
said after the bout that he had not
eflt at his best but believed he had
fought we'll enough to win.
Walker and Milligan We're matched
some weeks ago. but the state boxing
| officials ruled that Walker would be
unable to train properly for the COM
bat. Milligan, who gained a decision

field last fall, Cony High administer
ed sound trouncing to the visitors
Wednesday evening in City Hall, the
final score being Cony 80, Gloucester
%. Both teams were fast and ag-
gressive but with Cony playing the
best brand of ball they have yet dem
onstrated, the fishermen were unable
to stem the tide of their advance.
The visitors played a deceptive
game and for the first few minutes
their Zig-Zag passing, mixing both
extremely long passes and short ones,
kept Cony guessing. Then they took
the wheel from Gloucester's hands
and from then on Cony did the steer
ing. Gloucester made the first basket
of the game through the shooting of
oliver, and after Trask had tied it up
moment later Cony was never
headed again.
The Cony boys played as they had
never played before, pivoting, duck
ing, passing long, passing short and
bouncing the ball by an opponent to
another man. and taking shots from
all angles and distances until they
had their opponents in a whirl. Lapi
dus, Stiles and Overlook all took a
hand at the shooting, getting them
on many pretty shots from the CEN
ter of the floor and mixing in plenty
more from right under the basket.
Trask and Nickless took but few trys
at the hoop, but they were deadly in
breaking up the Gloucester plays and
in getting the ball out of the danger
zone when Gloucester got a chance
to shoot.
Captain whynot, Callahan the big
center and Curley featured in the,
Gloucester game, Callahan handling

up many Cony plays under the bas-
ket and after passing to his team

tuting for Oliver at right forward
helped his team out to a considerable
extent and garnered two baskets.
In the second period especially
Cony played havoc with the visitors
getting six from the floor and two
from fouls while Gloucester was an
nexing one of each. The score at the
finish of the half was Cony %, Glou-
cester 9. Gloucester played the local
boys nearer an even terms in the
third getting three from the floor
while Cony got four and in the final
period Cony again got one more than
their rivals with four and a foul to
Gloucester's three and a foul.
The Cony High cheering section
was the biggest that has been seen in
City Hall since the game has been
played there. They were right up on
the edge of their seats all the time
and were cheering for both teams inn
