Delaney is always q gentleman
in the ring, never takes advantage
Of q man and fights ACCORDING
TO THE RULES.
He never complains and gives
no cause for complaint. He fights

Is known as the "Jem Mace style"

Of the round Jack stops iTnmedi-

Grim Stops Frush
nILLY CRIME, who holds both
featherweight and light
weight titles in Australia,
recently hit Danny Frush on the
potato in the fifth round and
dropped the curtain on the show.
Mr.. Frush has the rep of being
quite diver, but it seems that
he took a real flop with Crime
or else he has improved so much
that he fooled the Kangaroo
scribes.
Frush has been all over the
world hunting for a title. He
tried to beat Johnny Dundee when
that gent was champ and kissed
the canvas from an invisible punch
one summers night.
Then he went West and Johnny
Kilbane flattened him.

The Myer j.. Murray bowling
team of Boston, regarded every
where candIepins and duckpins are
rolled as the world champion small
ball shooters, have accepted
challenge from Washington, &C.
cording to advices received today
from Beantown.
They will meet an all-star team
TO be organized by John S. Blick
president of the Convention Hall
company, on whose alleys the
games will be contested.
According to the information at

that Washington bowlers believe
they can muster a lineup that no

This guarantees goes with the
Myer J. Murray team, which for
five successive years has been re-

washington knows something of
Paul Pohler and Archie Walsh. For
years the name Of Paul Pohler has
been synonymous with small ball
bowling. Pohler and Walsh COM
peted in the Atlantic Coast Bowling
Associations tournament held here

It Is not remembered that
jimmy WhaIen, Lefty Mitchell
and w. e. Champ. other members
81 the present Myer j. Murray
team, competed with them. Walsh,
according 10 the dope from BOs-
ton, has been the New England
champion for ten years.
Lefty Mitchell, the Murray men
assert, is the greatest southpaw in
the game. He will have a natural
rival here in. Al Work. and it has
been suggested In Boston that
Mitchell and Work be matched in
singles contest that would be a
preliminary to the team clash. It

will go out with Distress Warrants

WORTHWHILE LESSON FOR KEY WEST

Winter in the North has ebbed at last, and the
Springtide is whitening the meadows and the hill
side orchards of New England while the pink of
the peachbow is fading and the royal purple lilacs
are filling the enhancing air with the fragrance
of their blooming beauty.
The crocuses have courtsed and gone; the
tulips are shedding their petals which Nature dip
ped in her palette of colors while Boreas reigned
the majestic spiked plumes of the white AID the
pink horse-chestnut vie with the shy flowers of
the pear trees standing out against the universal
carpet of fresh young grass
Pansies and violets and the trailing arbutus
are in modest flower Mother Earth has reused this
year from her lethargy almost four weeks late. Else
this editorial might have been written the last week
of April instead of the last week in May.
Thus in the hating of Natures cycle
this year there is lesson for Key West well worth
while. Scientists assert the seasons not
changing; the rest of the people say they are. If
Spring is month late in the North it may well
behoove Key West to carry its winter season along
another month into the period of heretofore
cepted nactVltyj 20 plan an advertising program
that will last month longer at least, if not all the
year; to keep the publicity representatives at work
at the information booth on Trumbo to still later
day; to extend the live wire work of the winter
through an added four weeks.
Let us give this matter due and careful con
sideraton. Let Key West not lag in her good
works. Things happening here every day that
make for progress. The Oversee Highway and the
boulevard around the Island growing every
hour. Is it not too bad that have ceased t.
tell the world about our doings? Miami never
ceases. Why should we?

JOKE FROM THE RECORD

There have been many newspaper thrusts at
the well-known and volumnous Congressional
Record. We have ridicued the wordy effusions of
Senators and Representatives. who extend their
remarks in print for the home consumption of their
constituents. We often laugh at them, but less fire.
quently laugh with them.
Occasionally. however, there appears in the
Record some real wit and humor, if the reader
will dig it out from the mass of uninterestng mat
ter. An instance is noted in recent sally by
Congressman Carter of Oklahoma in a discussion
of farm relief bills.
Replying to the suggestion that the farmer
should borrow money from the banks to carry
over his surplus" Mr.. Carter said:
az imagine that will remind the already debt
ridden farmer of the young who was seeking
the hand of a girl in marriage and when he popped
the question to her she replied You must go to
father The disconsoate young. man then reeled
off the following rhyme:
"She knew that knew her father was dead:
"She knew that knew what life he had led :
"She knew that knew what she means when
she said,

WOMEN As NEWS"
g Go to father

The above fruitful theme discussed at the
General Federation of Women's Clubs convention
recently held at Atlantic City. In former years
many editors thought that about all they had to
do with women to get out pages Of cooking
receipts fashions household hints etc Then all at
they discovered that women were making a
whole lot of real news
So the reporters began to chase around to
the women's clubs and elsewhere and they found
women poking their heads into every subject on
earth They found them exercising their influence
in politics. deing the real work that made many
business enterprises 90. and carrying off athletic
prizes. While some may think that the chief
feature Of women lies in their ability at
times to create scandal the story If their efforts
in the field Of legitimate action Is read with in
terrst b. more people because 1t IS a story IL
achievement, and that Is what normaI minded pee

the men who offered themselves to settle the

Mr.. McInnis was associated

looked upon him more as a brother
than business associate, He
trusted Mr.. McInnis with all of his
affairs, and | have the same

my husband had. In the event of
Mr.. McInnis' election | will occupy
the same relative position finan-

will have for myself and children

hard to obtain.
1t is grievous to me to have to
take part in a political campaign
at this time with a broken heart

this upon me as a defensive

TAGGING CARS
Tampa Tribune)

And now it is held in Georgia that tag
placed by policeman on car does not constitute
q legal summons to appearance in court. The prac-
tice has been INDUCED in by the traffic police of
Macon. and the public, according to the Macon
newspapers, is ignoring them. As soon as it de-
veloped that they were not legal summons, the mo-
florists who find them their cars merely tear
them up and drive on. ''The little green slips are
a fiction that is bringing the police power into
more or less contempt" says the Macon News
No one has made a test of the practice in
Tampa, but it is doubtless here, as in Georgia, that
the tags have legal standing authority.
