THIS PLAN is WORTH TRYING OUT.

THAT there is much merit III the proposal t
advertise the mineral resources Of this dis
trict as suggested by J. ". Barrett some weeks
ago seems to be the consensus OF large number
of men of this community. There Is not mucl
danger of doing harm if the matter is handlee
wisely and great amount Of good might result
from the undertaking.
It is q self evident thing to say that every
thing should be done that is humanity possible
to hurry the development OF what many are con-
WINGED will prove valuable mining industry
here Experienced Understanding men who
have followed the business for years, and il
many different felds-are firm in the convic-
ton that III very few Of the famous mining cen
tiers were surface indications so favorable, prior
80 development, as they are right here an the
Libby district The one thing needed at this
stage of the game IS to get that Information into
the hands of men whose business it is either to
invest their own capital III mining development
OF to find money that can be put into that devel-
opment. Here is fertile field for all such III
vestments.
For years individuals have endeavored to
interest capital i'll this district and not wholly
without success However, the funds that have
been put into this district have not been suffi-
clent-with one or two exceptions-to prove the
properties under development With those one
or two exceptions, msmanagement and unfore-
seen conditions have retarded tlG. proper deyel-
opment OF the properties. At the present time
there are score or more OF properties with out
standing promise that could use substantial
sums III legitimate development work
According to the plans now being discussed
for the advertising of mining possibilities here,
it would be the honest placing before the in
vestlng public OF genuine information in regard
to certain properties, under such terms and
agreements as would insure the expenditure
Of the money raised III actual development.
After the property had been proven-if it
proved to be Il mine-then the original owner
to be paid the price agreed upon from the earn
ings Of the various properties Nothing could
be more fair than that.
Naturally there are certain difficulties and
obstacles to be sulmounted in getting this pro-
ject under way There always are such OBJ
stacles. Practically everything that has any
worth to it requires the overcoming Of diff
cultes if it it is to be worked ont to success
full conclusion. The reward comes to those mer
who have backbone and determination enough
to push a Job forward even under opposition
But, really, there should not be much op
position to this undertaking. If one views it il
the right light and il it is handled properly
there should be no opposition from any right
thinking man. So lets hurry along whatever
organization is necessary and let's get back o
this project as community with whoe-heart
led cooperation that will make big success Of it
It's a job big enough to arouse the enthu
slasm of every public spirited citizen

MASKED MARVEL
 TOSSED BY LONDOS

New Haven, Conn, March 25-CU P)-Tossed and mauled for nearly 40 minutes, Jim Londos, the St Louis greek, protected his New York and Pennsylvania wrestling title last night by throwing Milo Steinborn, German Strong man who has had a sensational career here as the man in the red mask.
 Forced by the champion to un- mask before the bout, Stenborn had much the better of the grappling for most of the contest. Several times Londos fled outside the ropes to es- cape punishment. The Teuton at 215 pounds enjoyed 15-pound weight advantage. An airplane whirl, and full body hold ended the bout in Londos' favor after 40 minutes, 5 seconds.
 The match was witnessed by 1000 persons, the largest crowd to see a wrestling match in Connecticut.
 Earl McCready, Oklahoma, 226, tossed Ivan Vakturoff, Russia, 22O, in 13 minutes, 10 seconds, with q body hold and slam. Dr Ralph Will son, Philadelphia, 200, downed Andy Stevens, Canada, 205, in 23 minutes, 30 seconds with head lock and body slam

BRADDOCK TO TRY OUT NEW STYLE
 ON JACK KELLY

New Haven, March 25-(special) Outside of Mickey Walker,
 Tommy Loughran, Jim Maloney,
 and few other scattered. individ-
 uals. the grand old Irish names that
 used to rule the boxing roost have
 almost completely disappeared. No
 longer are the Sullivans, Corbetts.
 Jeffries, Fitzsimmons and Tunneys leading the pack but, take the word
 of almost any Irish fight fan, and
 there Is an excellent chance that an Irishman will be back on top of
 the pack before many moons have
 passed. For. James J. Braddock, New Jerseys hammering heavy
 weight, one of the hardest punchers
 in heavyweight ranks today. is nov ing slowly towards the top and Irish
 ring fans of the state will watch him with keen interest in his battle with
 Jack Kelly of Waterbury at the arena on Monday night.
 Some New Ideas
 Braddock. who has been revamp- ing his fighting style under the guid-
 ance of Joe Gould for several
 months. will test his new fighting the Jersey-ite's entire ring future will hinge largely on how well he functions against the Lithuanian
 here. Kelly is figured as an ideal test for Braddock because the Lith-
 uanian is clever boxer as well as a dangerous hitter and if Braddock
 can stow him away, his new fight ing system will be vindicated.
 1, The Irishman figures to beat Kelly in the eyes of most of the states fight fans but Braddock can't
 afford to hold the Lithuanian any too lightly. For, when Kelly is the underdog in advance dope that's when he does his best fighting. And. when he is fighting at top form. Kelly is as dangerous as they come. He hits as hard as Braddock and
 he Is more clever. if anything. and
 he should be able to give the Jersey
 warrior a real test. Kelly knows he
 must win Monday night to remain in the limelight as a top ranking
 heavyweight in this state and that will spur him on to even greater heights. Properly inspired, Kelly Is as dangerous as any fighter in the game and Braddock may find
 that out to his own intense sorrow.

New Grid Style Pleases Yale Men

New Haven, Conn, March 25-U P)-Yale uncorked its modern football attack in practice yesterday when a backfield composed of Albie Booth, Tommy Taylor, Pat Sullivan Walter Lowering tried out the new shift attack against a team of coaches and last years players.
 The combination of balanced line and military shift employed by the varsity shook Booth and Taylor loose for several long gains, which were offset by the runs of Chick McLen- nan, who played in the oposing backfield. The coaches were im- pressed, however. with the possibili- ties of the new attack, the most var jed employed by Yale in many years.

Syndicate Plans
 to Beat Horses

London. March 25 = (UP) - A wealthy syndicate here has initiat- ed scheme whereby 1t is claimed 1t will win with mathematical cer- tainty" 125,000 pounds sterling (about $650.000) through the Irish sweepstakes on the grand national.
 The scheme involves buying a half share in every ticket which drew a horse, varying the amount paid ac- cording to the betting odds on the horse. If unable to buy a share in a ticket, the amount which would have been paid for this will be bet on the horse to win the grand na- tional.
 One of the leaders in the syndi- cate. D. Geller, said today:
 We cannot lose. It's not gam b1e, but a business proposition. We have already offered 10000 pounds sterling for a half share in the ticket on Grakle."

New York, March 25.-CUP)- Nothing short of clean sweep in to- nights matches in which Berkeley Bell meets Jean Borotra and Frank Shields opposes Christian Boussus can give the United States q victory in the indoor tennis team matches with France.
 France took a lead of points to last night when Borotra and Boussus defeated John Van Ryn and George Lott in doubles, 75, 6-4. GA.
 The French combination, in addi- ton to outstroking the Americans, outsmarted them as well. Time and again Lott and Van Ryn were unanswered out of position, paving the way for Borotra to come to the net for a certain kill.

RING GOSSIP
 -by- BILL HIGGINS
SUSPENSION RECREATES LOCAL FIGHT INTEREST

If the large number of reservations for tickets for George Mulligan's fight show at Buckingham hall Thursday night can be taken as g criterion, the action of Commissioner Donohue, which kept the local club in darkness because of a suspension levied several weeks ago, has failed to kill off interest in local fight shows. As matter of fact the large number of tickets sold for this weeks fight card, which is headed by ten rounder between Leo Lar rivee and Jimmy Sullivan, Florida knockerout, and backed up by what appears to be guaranteed all-action undercard, would indicate that greater interest was fomented by what the rank and file of paid fight customers choose to regard as an unjust and unnecessary suspension that deprived them of their weekly pilgrimage to the Temple of Swat to worship their fistic idols.
 LARRIvEE PROFITS
 BY SUSPENSION
 Speaking of local ring idols and the enforced layoff of George Null ligan's club, brings to mind the case of Leo Larrivee, who during the suspension was forced to seek other battle-grounds for his ring warfare If anybody has benefited by the suspension 1t was the Bucks Hill bat tier. Up until a few months ago Leo was just another young fighter who could always be relied upon to fur nish the ring worms with pleasant evening. No great prospects were held for him as top flight fighter but with the suspension of the local club came the necessity of seeking fights elsewhere. And because oi this Leo has placed himself in Q very enviable position in eastern middleweight circles by making the most of opportunities. Leo during the past several weeks has twice travelled to Boston to engage in bat 160 pOunders and on both occasions was returned the winner, once by a sensational knockout.
 Larrivee, always 0 prime favorite here, will enter the ring Thursday night with the support of every fan to continue his winning ways. Tn meeting Sullivan. Leo will be facing foe who not only has many pugi- listic advantages. but one who also will enjoy a psychological advantage as well. Sullivan, it will be remem. bered. is the lad who put the quie- tus on Leo with a kayo not so many moons ago.
 There are lot of other nice things that might be said about Lar rivee at this writing. but because of lack of space we will close by saying in agreeing to meet Sullivan this week Leo cannot be accused of pick ing a "soft one.',

.BRASSMEN BURY MERIDEN POWER ,
 IN STATE PRELIM
Local Champs Finish Ahead 45 to 26-ClOck Drops Game to Chase Array

What looked more like a mild workout for Waterbury's Industrial hoop champions than a State league contest resulted in a 45 to 25 win for the Brassies over the Connecticut Light and Power outfit of Meriden last night at the Central "Y." It was to 1 at the quarter. 22 to 10 at the half and two points for one, 32 to 16 as the third period closed. Brass used nine players and every body scored with the exceptions of Joe Wall and Andy Stavnitsky, Bill Stokes leading the way with Is points from the pivot position. Kier- nan was the visitors best threat, and he managed to bag five field goals during the fray. As a result of their win, the Brass are entitled to play the Corbin Screw Company array of New Britain in the semi-finals later this week. The score:

FIVE WELL-MATCHED BOUTS SET FOR
 WATERBURY A. (.
Larrivee Brothers in Im- pOrtant Return Bouts Tomorrow Bradley and Harmon in Title GO

What has every indication of the best fight card arranged for any indoor show of the last two years to be held in this city will be pre- sented tomorrow night at Bucking- ham hall by the Waterbury A. c. Three of the bouts, the best of the bill are sure bartles for the calibre of each of the six contestants is well known to Waterbury ringworms, who like their glove fighting fast and furious.
 Can He Do It?
 There Is distinct attraction for each of the three top flight numbers. Brass City fandom, or rather. the part of 1t that sat In on the Lake wood show two summers ago, when Jimmy Sullivan, southern middle weight champion, hung a solid right hand smash on Leo Larrivee's chin for a ten count, will probably be interested to the extent of seeing whether or not he can do it again. Both boys are terrific hitters and a most interesting bout is looked for.
 Title Go.
 Ruby Dark Cloud" Bradley and Jackie Harmon are to settle the Question of New England's best ban tamweight in ten round go that
  tween the little fellows. Both Brad ley and Harmon possess unusual hit ting powers for 110 pounders, and against each other. in a title bout. are sure to present plenty of pleas- ant fistic-cuffing.
 am-Bang Boys.
 Anyone who saw the two and a half rounds that Lucien Larrivee and Jerry McLarn battled several weeks ago will hardly want to miss their return bout which is carded for six rounds. A bad gash over the left eye stopped McLarn's punching in the pairs first meeting after one. then the other was rocked with thunderbolt rights and lefts. Tut Jackson has chance to regain some popularity when he mixes with Arthur Pelky, Jr.; in an eight round go. When he's right, Jackson can fiatten plenty of 175 pounders. and tomorrow's bout will be the first of a comeback attempt. Kid Bon Bon who is training in this city, for his bout with Sal Carta of Middletown which will open the show for six rounds.

 The hard-earned victory left the Bruins in 0 pleasant position, since they can reach the finals by split ting with Canadiens in the remain ing games of their three-of-five- game series. The world champions face the task of winning three of four possible remaining games to stay in the running.
 Big Lead
 Boston was able to score but once in the first two perids, while the Canadiens tailed three times. two of the goals by Gagnon and Wasnie coming while shore of Boston was in the penalty box.
