INVITE NEW YORK
 FIGHT TEAM HERE
Mohawk X. (. Plans Peatur6 for
 Friday Tournament

Amateur boxing tournaments will be resumed here Friday night when the Mohawk A. c. presents a card of 10 bouts featuring three members of the New York amateur team. 1nvi- tations have been sent to the metro- politan club to send its representa- tives here to meet some of the best simon-pures in this state and they have been tentatively accepted.
 Heading the invaders will be Pat Dandery. heavyweight, who will probably be matched with Mike Raeffell Of Springfield. Dandery scales 1S0 pounds and is considered one of the best punch throwers in the simon-pure ranks in New York. His opponent has appeared in Con- necticut on several occasions and as both arc heavy punchers, there is likely to be some excitement before the bout is terminated.
 Max Silo. middleweight who holds the title of Westchester County champion, will be matched with Lucien Larrivier of Waterbury, member of the N'ranco-American club. Silo has had a string of con- secutive victories in his home club and he expects to add the scalp of the Connecticut boy to his belt.
 Frankie LaPera who has appeared in New Britain for the past two years, will accompany the New York team here. Frankie will probably be fighting his last battle as an anna teur Friday night and he will receive one of the most severe tests in his career when he is matched with Leo Larrivier of Waterbury. LaPera is by far the most popular of the New York scrappers and his work in the last tournament in which he appear ed showed an improvement over his skill of last year.
 Another bout of great interest is the meeting between Ell 1ieberman of Springfield and Rollo Roland of Waterbury. Lieberman has appeared here on several cards and his work has always been good. Hollands ability is we'll known. Ed Moore of Waterbury, who was handing Pancho Villa trimming when an accident stopped the bout, will meet Marine Pagoni Of Springfield. Other bouts in the tournament are are follows: Tony Norman of Spring field and Bob Morrison of Water bury; Henry Miner of Glastonbury and Charles Shea of Springfield; Jack Harmon of Waterbury and Joe Cilento of Hartford: Al Annone of Springfield and George Krar' oi Glastonbury and Harry Osit of Springfield and Pete Siller of Glastonbury.
 This will be the first tournamen, of 1928 and will be the first Of ( number of tournaments which will feature some of the best amateur boxing teams in the country. The weights in the matches Friday night range from 110 pounds to the heavyweight class of fS0 pounds. 4 night full of action is promised and i it is expected that the amateur fight game will regain the popularity il has enjoyed in the past in this city !

RING REGULATIONS
British Boxers Arc at Disadvantage Here Because of fielding in CIinChcs.

New York. Jan. 10 LP-British boxers are at a disadvantage when they come 10 the United States be- cause of differences in ring reg,lla- tions according 10 Bernard Morti- mer. known as the "Tex Rickard of England.' Mortimer is here for th" Tom Heen"y-Jnck Shark"y fight
 It seems 10 me that too much holding is allowed here with punch ing with one hand in the clinch," the British promoter said. "Over where J come from, the fighter is permitted 10 punch on the break and as a re- suit he maneuyers for the break.
 ''ln the United States if q boxer eets u,s'lf in an aw kward position. rnd"r the ropes or with his back turned 10 punch. the referee steps in and halts the contest until he is out Of difficulty. Our men have to defend themselves at all times. with out the help of the referee"

RICHARD AND GENE
 SETTLE ARGUMENT
Tex Consents to Allow Tunney
 to Fight Twice

New York, Jan. 10 R)-Tex Rick ard and Champion Gene Tunney have settled their differences.
 Everything between Gene Tun- ney and myself is now okay." the boxing promoter declared today.
 The Haunting of the olive branch was the result of Richards consent to the heavyweight titleholder's de- mands that he fight twice this year.
 Packard contemplates Jacl. Shark ey of Boston as Tunney's first op- ponent and Jack Dempsey as the next and biggest rival. Tie Demp- sey- -Tunney tussle will be held in the Yankee Stadium next September according to Richards present plans.
 i Just where the first heavyweight championship will be staged remains indefinite although Rickard regards Chicago favora bly, as the site. Sharkey, who fights Tom Heeney here Friday night. is not considered as a worthy opponent by Tunney according to reports from the cham pfon's intimates. However. Tunney probably will be guided by the out come of the Heeney go.
 l Tunney is slated to leave for Brunswick, Ga. tonight for Q brief stay at Dover Hall before proceed ing to his tsnining quarters at Mi- ami. Rickard will leave for Miami 1 on Jan. IS.
 Tommy Loughran. light heavy weight champion of the world, yes- terday signed an agreement givirS Rickard exclusive rights to his ring services until next Nov. 1. The agree ment requires Loughran to box any opponent selected by Rickard and covers the entire country. Rickard declared he intended to keep Loughran in the light heavy weight division for at least another year. He said he expected Lough- ran to he ready for q heavyweight title bout in 1929. The bout between Sid Ferris. New York lightweight contends r, and Jimmy McClarnin of Los An geles. down for Feb. 5 at Madison Square Garden, has been postponed until later in the month.

TOyai8ht's Card

T0night's Card
 P. & F. Corbin vs. Stanley Rule. (girls).
 Stanley Works vs. Y. B. Machine. (men).
 Corbin Screw VI. Landers, (men).
 A fight for first place in the Corr bin Screw-Landers' mems game: . contest for second place between Stanley Rule and r. X. F. Corbiu girls and a battle for third place be- tween Stanley Works and New Brit- ain Machine men will feature to. nights games in the Y. NJ. C. A. In. dustrial Basketball league.
 Betting is heavy on the results of tonight's s games and the players have caught the spirit. The teams, know. ing that they will have to win to- night in order that they might be in the thick of the fight down the homo stretch. will put everything they have into the game.
 Starting lineups will represent the full strength of each factory. This year the concerns which have been in the habit of being in the rear. have made special effort to send strengthened teams on the floor. For instance, the Stanley Works realized it had wonderful opportunity to win the pennant so 1t called every basketball player of ability in tho factory to join the squad.
 Last year. an announcement that the New Britain Machine. Stanley Works and Landers were to play would give the fans the signal to get into their easy chairs at home, turn on the radio and settle down for . nice quiet evening. How times have changed! Last year the F. & F. Corbin team in the girls league was in last place and when this team was carded to play the fans came early or went home late according to whether the team played in the first or second game. This year. Clarence Coons made the rounds of tho concern and appeared with players who were truly diamonds in tho rough"
 The Corbin Screw team is tho favorite over Landers in the final game of the night,
 First Game
 The lineup of the P. x F. Corbtn team in the first game of the night will consist of Motyk and Drezek. forwards; Pirtkerwitz. center; Pthiel and Olsyowy, guards; Stanley Rule. Marley and Paul, forwards; Jarnot, center: Dashner and Speck, guards. The game will start at 7:30 o'clock.
 Second Game
 Stanley Works will probably start with the following lineup: Haigis, center; Walthers and Carlsons. for- wards: Abramowitz and Pelletier, guards. New Britain Machine will start the lineup which has repre-. scented the factory all season. as fol- lows: Arena and Fioden, forwards; Hugo Anderson, center: Eric Ander- son and Swanson, guards.

THINK MORIARTY
 MADE 4 MISTAKE
Detroit Flns Critical Of Hiltd
 Trade by Hangar

Detroit, Jan. 10 M-deorge Aon- arty. former major league umpire. ball player and now manager of the Detroit Tigers shuff1ed the cards during the winter big league holi- days and dealt the St. Louis Ameri- cans a pair of aces. He has yet to prove to critical Detroit fans the wisdom of the play which sent two favorites, Lu Blue, first baseman, and HeiniS Manush. outfielder. to the Browns, that he might strength en an outfield to support his pitch CTS.
 But with the acquisition of Harry Rice. outfielder. brought in on the trade that sent Blue and Manush southward. Moriarty believes he has created an outfield that will both hit and field. He is certain Rice will hit better than 300. lead the ma jors in stealing bases, and speed up the outfield. Throughout the play ing season of 1927 there were ru- mors of complaints from Tiger pitchers that they were not receiv- ing the proper support needed in the far corners. With Rice. Harry Heilmann, leading batter of the ma i jors, and Bob "Rhino" Fothergill, l Moriarty believes he can present a trio of hitters that will cause oppos- ing pitchers untold agony.
 The winter shuttle also sent away Johnny Bassler. veteran catcher and a favorite of the pitching stan, "Rip" Collins, and Donald Hankins' Tn return the Tigers received Elam Vangilder, veteran pitcher of the Browns, Red Hargrave. former catcher of the Toronto club of the International league and Chick Galloway late cratic shortstop oi the Philadelphia Athletics. Gallo way is slated for shortstop posi- tion in the event Little Jack Tav- cner is kept out of the game with an injured hand that obstinately re- fuses to heal.
 At third base Warner is left to carry the burden assisted by the versatile Marty McManus. the Tigers utility man of the infield.
 Johnny Neun. who succeeded Lu Blue at first base last season is con- sidered one of the most successful base pilferers in the American l league. A large part of Moriarty's $ strategy has been centered upon the ability of his men to steal bases. Even the numbering Heilmann prov ed proficient at the art for time last year. With Neun. Rice, Char ley Gehringer and Tavener-if he plays-Detroit anticipates a season punctuated with daring dashes around the base lines reminiscent of the balmiest days of Ty Cobb.
 The winter trades brought little improvement in the pitching staff. Owen Carroll, of Holy Cross, and Josh" Billings, and Rufus Smith of Brown university, are young pitch- CTS who have done well. Kenneth Holloway, Lii Stoner. Sam Gibson and Earl Whitehill are the veterans. with Elam Vangilder and George Smith ready for relief roles with a number of youngsters up from the minors.

TO advertise himself and attract Il

of his hot desire for spouse If his
desires are not gratified: hut once
he is mated and Suted lie Is rs

they never laid eggs or hatched out

Il learned few things about

the only thing is you've got to lave
Il male and Il female before there is
any mating. And you can buy

KINSTON MAKES
MONEY ON EIGHT.
CENT CURRENT.
Elizabeth Citizens Pay Twelve
Cents-kinston's 81, Isl, 900
Power Offer

kinston, manufacturing its
own electric current at a cost
of more than two cents a kllo-
watt, supplies current for cleo
trio light to its citizens at a
maximum rate of s cents kllo-
watt. Elizabeth City, buys its
current ready made at a cent
and fraction a kilowatt
charges it's citizens a maximum
of II cents a kilowatt for light
ing current.
And instead of loSin. money on
current which it produces at high
er cost than our current and sells
for Il third less than we sell 1t. kin-
stOn claims to have made a net pro-
fit of $62.G15 out cf it, electric light
and power business last year after
charging off all items of interest,
depreciation. etc.
This information should he
rondered by Elizabeth Citizens who
are paving Il third more for their
current than Kinstonians are pay
ing.
So profitable is KinStonS muni-
cipally owned electric light and
bower business on in eight cent
kilowatt rate that four big super
bower companies are bidding against
each to get control Of kinston'S
electric light and power business.
kinSton has IN offer of S1.2oI.WW
for its power plant and franchise
and will hold a special election ON
July 10 to vote on the question of
accepting or rejecting the offer.
Think Of IL. Kim<ton'S municipal
li.ht and power plant has Il book
valuation of S4lI.05O %. The offer
of S1.2JI.OGO for its power plant
would retire the cityS entire bond'
pd Indebtedness and give it Il sur
plus of SJOO.OOO in the treasury. 1t
is probably the fear ,f what might
hupppn To Il town in North Carolina
with Il surplus of half million
dollar cash in its treasury that may
deter many IL kinstonian from v0t'
inr for a sale of the property.
The super power companies bid'
ding for the acquisition of the kln'
sion plant and franchise are the
VIRGINIA Electric Il Power Co.. the
Carolina Power Il Light Co.. Tide

Gas a. Electric Go. kinSton Is Il
thorn in the flesh of the power mag
mates: il is against their Interests
to have it said that any municlpall!

operated at profit; they want tt
npt KinSton off the municipal owner

else for Elizabeth Citizens to DC
thinking about: it will not be lona
