 What caused the car to shoot off the dock was not known and :t was not immediately learned who was the occupant of the car
 Copeland was down in 40 feet f water twice looking for Sayres nut owing to tidal conditions and darkness did not find any trace. A ledge a short distance from where Copeland searched, t is thought would have stopped progress of the car, Others be- ieve that on account of the tide
 unning so strong and equipped with balloon tires it is probable hat the car would travel a long distance and the driver never found.

Plan, Hum
 Disappoints

There are about 200 kindly souls in the prairie hamlet of Lett, about 30 miles out of Re- gina, Sask., who have never ev- an seen an airplane. However, a few nights ago, just as most of 5he villagers were preparing to ~etire about g o'clock, there arose on the cold night a jerky hum From a hurried village confer ance emanated the conviction that an airplane was circling ov- orhead and trying to find a land Ing place.
 Some one telephoned Regina to find out how to prepare a landing place. The first requiS- ite seemed to be to shovel the snow off about an acre of prairie, and the second to light flares. Snow is snow out on the prairies and all the available man power shoveled for hours to move a mountain of it. Flares were
 lighted. No airplane. The hum eowever, persisted. They wait ed until dawn before a keen in tellect detected that the hum originated in a break in the ov- |erhead electric power line.

but though his team won all
three, their highest game was $40
Which shows that it takes more
than one mans shooting to make
team roll good duckpin scores.
Paulie Harrison chopped down
800 sticks, and thereby led Temple
to a two-game win over Conven-
ton Hall, in the District League.
His games were 1913, 131 and i31,
and the team had a 638 high
game. Charley Phillips 1873 gave
the Hallmen the last.

slowing around stoves for the rest
Of the winter, instead of at the

The Battle Of the Pads" clearly
pictures the meeting Sunday.
Both teams will have added
players in their Hne-ups when
play begins. The Celtics had 10
Marines last week against the
ApacheS.
MOhawks Add Players
The Mohawks might not have
Marine players this Sunday, but
they're sure to have plenty Of men
who are ranked as stars on other
clubs around the city.
If this was q championship
game nothing like this would
occur. But as it's Just another
game, let 1t be as it be, and
may the most clever team get
the edge.

Two tigers of the wrestling
game-Toots Mondt and Tiny

same cage tonight at the Wash

Of these giants will be deafening.
The first match on tonight's card
will be called at $50 o'clock.
Both Of these grapplers tip the
scales in the neighborhood of 240
pounds, and something like 500
pounds will hit the canvas every
time the pair take a tumble.
It'll sound like an explosion when
they fall to the mat.
MOndt has been applying
holds to rival matmen longer
than ROebuck, and hence is
the more experienced. How.
ever, ROebuck is q promising
yOungSter who is fast learn

Local wrestling fans will also
see an old favorite, Mike Romano,
in action tonight. He is to en-
gage Paul Jones. the lanky Texan
Terror. Jones ranks with the
best heavyweights, but Romano
will have the support of the
crowd.
That Italian orator, Renato
Gardini, who is also a wrestler,

should produce stirring action.

The Washington times., 1930-12-18

The boxing commission, which
was roundly roasted by New York
business interests for letting
Philadelphia grab the Dempsey
Tunney bout in 1925, now may
lose the big fistic plum of 1891
as the result Of its insistence that
Jack Sharkey be accepted i'm
mediately as Max Schmeling's op-
ponent without further elimina-
ton bouts.
The Chicago Stadium last night
gave the fiStic fathers something
to think about by offering Joe
Jacobs, Schmeling'S manager, the
princely sum Of $500, 900 for the
champion to defend his title
against Young Stribling at Sol
dier's Field next June.
Sticks to Milk Fund
Jacobs almost fell into a dead
faint at the offer, but regretfully
informed Nate Lewis, the Chicago
Stadium's matchmaker that he
had agreed to let Schmeling make
his first title defense under the
auspices Of the New York milk
fund, promoters Of the Schmeling-
Sharkey fight last summer.
Lewis then offered to do
nate so per cent Of the fight
profits to the New York milk
fund providing that the lat
ter turn over half Of the
money to their sister body in
Chicago. The promoters Of
the New York milk fund, who
have been running heavy
weight matches for 10 years,
declined to agree to this
stipulation.
The ARRANGEMENT committee for
the New York fund, in conjunc-
ton with Madison Square Gar
den officials, will attempt to per
suade the boxing commission to-
morrow to sanction bout be-
tween Sharkey and Stribling to
determine the outstanding op-
ponent for Schmeling here next
year. IF the SolonS fail to see
the light, Herr Jacobs probably
will insist that Chicago get the
title fight lnder Milk Fund aus
