Great Burmese Ruby May Be Rare
 But Not So Rare as Buyer for It

The Excelsior, second largest dia- mond, found in 1893, waited 10 years for a buyer, and then was into 21 brilliants. Only the Jubilee, 239 carats, found in 1895. remained intact, happily fitting into the 1897 jubilee celebration of Queen Victoria.

B|SONS FIGHT
FOR RECORD
lllaA Q

When the Bucknell university
boxing team meets Georgetown
tomorrow night at 9 o'clock the
Bisons will be fighting to main
tain record Of no more than
one defeat a season in three
years of intercollegiate competi-
tion. The Bucknell mittmen took
their 1890 beating at New York
University last week, and must
win from the Hoyas in order to
have as good a percentage show
ing as in the last two years.
In 1928, the first year for box
ing here, the Bisons won three
meets and lost one, to Temple.
Last year they won four. and lost
one, to Catholic U. This winter
they have beaten West Virginia,
Pennsylvania Military College.
Temple. and Catholic University,
and have lost to New York Uni
versity, the East's outstanding un-
beaten team. Bucknell is the
only team to face the Violets
that has not suffered a knockout.
GEORGETOWN and BucknelI
have met West Virginia i'm
common, and the BiSOns
licked the MOuntaineers while
the West Virginia men In
turn eked out a decision over
the Washington boxers. The
winning team In each in.
stance had the advantage, II
any, Of boxing in its home
ring.
In Captain Fish the Hoyas had
the outstanding 145 college scrap
per in the intercollegiate division
In 1929. Stunkard of West Vir-
gtnia beat him this winter, and
Lepore Of Bucknell trimmed
Stunkard. The Fish-Lepore fight
is scheduled as the big feature
Saturday. Lepore is unbeaten this
winter and in his present weight
is unbeaten in three seasons. He
won by knockouts in the first
round in his fights at Catholic
University and New York Univer-
sity last week. Two one-round
knockouts in three days is almost
a college record in the East.
The Bucknell men are rested
after their fights with Catholic
and N. Y. U. last week, and
should enter the Washington
trays in the height Of condition.
The match will close the season
for Bucknell.

more than three points ever

was battle from the opening

Ossie Bluege, normally a sphinx,

"Liska. Hadley and Burke, for

This does not mean that Tate
win be left out in the cold. Far
from it.
Benny is fine little hitter. And
when the older Washington heads
are singing and enemy right
htnders firing away, he's an ideal
man behind the bat.
Muddy, however, Is q superior

This, along with his steadying OF

WEST STILL
SHY A I
PLATE
BY BOB THAYER

BILOXI, Miss, March IA
real effort to break outfielder
Sam West Of plate shyness is
now being made by Manager
Walter johnson.
In 1927 while with the Birnn.
ingh IN Barons West was beaned
by Ed Settlemire, a left handed
pitcher with Mobile. Sam has
never forgotten it. West cannot
be called tinid. His spectacular
fielding proves that, but at bat
he instinctively pulls away when
the ball swoops inside.
A year ago West vas one Of
baseball's greatest flyhawks. But
his clouting fell far short Of the
major standard. Johnson realizes
that his center gardener must
improve extensively and he is try
Ing to bring him around. What
Sam needs is confidence.

Holly dealers in some sections Of

kets for the Christmas holidays, and
from now. until the middle of De

Extensive shipments will start
about the middle Of this month and
particularly after the Thanksgiving
holidays, to St Louis, Chicago, De-

Edward Messick Elected
To House By Majority
Of One

Though two contests were filed in
Sussex county on Thursday by the
Democrats, nothing was accom-
plished by the action. In the Sixth
district where John w. Messick,
Republican, was returned as elect
ed over Blwood Sturgis, Democrat,
for member of the House of Repre-
sentative5 in the General Assembly
one district was recOunted and the
majority of Messick was reduced
from three votes to one. Messick
was declared elected. In the Eighth
Representative District where Carl
ton Fl. Lingo was returned as elect
ed over George Adkins, Democrat,
by five votes there was a recount of
one district and Lingo gained four
votes making mis- majority nine in
stead of five.
The returns as canyassed show
that the Democrats were defeated
on the State ticket and on the
county TICKET elected the sheriff
only. They elected one State Sena-
tor and three members of the lower
house.
Representative Robert G. Hous-
ton who is a resident of Sussex
county was high man on the ticket,
his majority being 1886
