s a in g of Sports.

One of the most unusual nick names in the Industria league Is that which Is tied onto Wilton Nor ey. To those who have been play ing with him since he started bas- hetball it Is "John"
 This is how he happened to get that name. He came, out for the South Church basketball team and was played at forward on the le- serve team, opposite to Cliff Bell. Bell didn't know him and on the first play. Mercy took the ball of the tap and Bell looked over and for want of a better name he said: Here, John."
 For many years these two play CTS worked as combination and became great pals, but the name remained. It is said that at the time of their first acquaintance Mercy knew only Bells last name so he invented a first nam. "Harold' after the famous Harold Bell Wright.

How Savage Psychology Broke Up q Fight By Leaving Only One
 Principal In the Ring.

Properly applied psychology has a part in any big success. Nowhere Is this more true than In boxing Sometimes the fighter can mental, put over something that disturbs his opponent. Often, a second or man ager can do it in the few moments o' referees instructions before the battle starts
 One of the pioneers in ring psy- chology was the late Jim Delaney He trained Jim Corbett and Jim Jef- fries, and. after he and Jeff had a falling, out. he was brought in to second Jack Johnson against lief fries at Reno, knowing his presence would have q harrying effect upon Jeffries.
 Once Delaney trained Jerry Slat- tcry, a light heavyweight, to meet June Dennis. q hard fighting col ored man. Billy knew Slattcry neel- ed lots of help.
 Delaney rented hearsp at liv- cry stable. At dusk Delaney. wear ing long black coat, a silk hat and a funereal look, drove the hearse past the place where Dennis was training. Dennis saw the hearse pass his window.
 Every evening thereafter, includ- ing the night Of the fight, the son. Der hearse with its sombre driver went to Dennis training quarters. Dennis was superstitious. but he was unable to resist going to the window at dusk. Nightly he would watch with mortified eyes. When June crawled through the ropes for the fight. he was worried : looking. some what drawn. He had been afraid to tell soul of the nightly visitation. so was without any sort of reassurance.
 Dennis was all attention wh"n Siattery stepped into the ring. He watched the towel. swinscrs chamber in, And then
 His mortified eyes first saw a black silk hat. then the funcrcal face, and finally, the long black coat Of the hearse driver rise slow ly from the side of the ring beside Slattery.
 The startled crowd saw fright cned black man speed down the aisle and out into the street.
 It took some time 10 calm the uproar, and try to find what hap pened. Dennis manager and seconds couldn't explain It. The promote $ had q good crowd. but only one good fighter. And, apparently, mo- body was to blame.
 Police that night reported inabili- tv to find q fast-running color d man clad in ring costume and box- ing gloves.

ELUSIVE BRIDE NOT
 LOCATED BY STATE
Father Calls at Hospital to De-
 mand W0man'S Clothes

Worcester, Mass. Dec. A (UP)- Barbara Buffum Bramwell. elusive bride, apparently does not intend to spend Christmas at Worcester state hospital.
 Rumors current yesterday that she was about to surrender, follow ing her escape from the asylum early Monday, seemed baseless today in the light of overnight developments.
 Mrs. Bramwell had been commit ted to the hospital for observation late last week following the dis closure that sir William Harold Bramwell of the Royal Navy" whom she married in Oxford on December 15, was in realty ships clerk aboard the Mauretania.
 James c. Buffum, Webster banker and father of the elusive bride, con- ferred with Dr. William A. Bryan, superintendent of the hospital, last night. The principal purpose of the fathers visit, however, was to de- mand the clothes which his daugh- ter left at the institution when she took French leave on Monday. This surprised Dr. Bryan. who had ex- pected that Buffum knew and would reveal the missing woman's where- abouts so she could be returned here.
 Dr. Bryan said today he had no Information regarding Mrs. Bram- al |. L I investigators working without any tangible clues there was no prospect Of her immediate apprehension.

CURB MARKET HAS
 SLUGGISH ASPECT
Attempts at Rallies Meet With
 Little Response

New York, Dec. A CP-The curb market showed firmness in today's quiet trading. Attempts at rallies met with little response and after a comparatively active period in the forenoon the list assumed the slug gish aspect normal to a pre-holiday session.
 Some progress was made in the utilities. for it was apparent that the unexpected cut in the reserve bank rediscount rate here had prompted short coverings in certain directions. Electric Bond and Share, for ex- ample, enjoyed it's strongest opening in several weeks, up 1 1-2 on the first sale, and later extended its rally to a couple of points. Ameri- can Gas and Electric, normally a wide mover, gained more extensive ly.
 Oils were quiet and steady. The industrials displayed irregularity, but held to a narrow range and most of the noticeable declines were in inac- tives. Swift International, Mead Johnson, Deere, Diamond Match new and Ford of Canada "A" firmed. New Jersey Zinc, Armstrong Cork and Glen Alden Coal lost about q point.
 Investment Trusts were quiet and inclined to sag.
 Call money renewed on the curb at 1-2 per cent.

SLUMP IN TRADING
 APPEARS IN BONDS
Easy Money Conditions Force
 Banks to Buy Bonds

New York, Dec. 24 P-The usual pre- holiday slump in trading re- Guced the turnover i'll the bond mar ket today but the demand for domestic bonds was sufficiently large to give the market a some what tirmer tone.
 The domestic section showed good resistance to a continuance of the lower trend in many issues that have failed to maintain the forward advance begun last week. Invest ment rails and utilities displayed a tendency to advance fractionally in quiet trading. There was a moder- ate demand for liberty bonds which were frmer, but short term treasury issues moved the other way.
 The unexpected action of the New York Federal Reserve Bank in reducing its rediscount rate to per cent was regarded in financial cir cles as a bullish argument for the bond market.
 Easy money conditions virtually force the banks to turn to bonds to invest their idle funds profitably.

Mrs. Sam Dworkin, who lives down stairs, was summoned from her dinner table by the front door bell. She went to the door, but found no one there. A minute later she had the same experience and began to feel spooky, when her eight-year son pointed out that flames were eating their way through the floor. The blaze started in the cellar from hot air furnace. It is thought that the blaze burned the insulation off the doorbell wires, causing the bell to ring.
