Al Konze, former northwestern
football star, with a record of IL
knockouts to his credit since turn

the crown, and if possible the Ken

Bounding Basque at Los Angeles

state that this loss was only tenn

The Inauguration of night base
ball in the Pacific coast league this
season sent the Los Angeles Angels
into the lead, although their own
game with the Oakland Oaks was
rained out.
The Angels we're tied for first
place with the Sacramento Senators
and Portland Beavers, but both
these teams lost yesterday and
slipped back to second positions
while the idle Angels remained at
the top.
The Sacramento setback was suf-
fered in the night game with the
San Francisco Seals, who inaugur-
ated their new bay city stadium to
evening play with a to / victory.
It was the fourth victory of the
season for Sam Gibson, the Seals
ace hurler, and sent the team into
a second place tie with Sacramento,
Portland and Hollywood.
Portland dropped it's hold on
first place by losing again to the
Hollywood Stars, to 3. The Beav-
ers batted Yde out of the box in
the sixth and seventh innings, but
Bray was sent in and held them.
An avalanche Of runs piled up in
the early innings gave the Seattle
Indians their second straight vic
tory over the Mission Reds, 10 to
5. Homers by Miller and Wilson
featured the Indians work at the
plate, while Monroe performed a
similar feat for the losers.

self, Herb is wise to all the dope in
the ring game. He used to be a
boxer under Harry Woodbury. over
in San Diego before the war, and it
was friendship for Woodbury. that
enabled the local club to get Ken
nedy in his first fight outside of
Los Angeles since he won the crown.
Rest Of Card Good
Woodbury. has backed up the star
event with a we'll balanced card.
Two more men-mountains, Biff
Hoffman and Chief Whitehorse, will
put on the semi-final. Biff is un-
known as far as local fans are con-
cerned, but is rated on the coast as
a tough hombre for any heavy
weight. The chief, something of an
in and outer, with an odd style of
boxing and terrific punch, has
been seen here several times. He
knocked big marine kicking in his
last appearance and when he is
right he is a dangerous man.
Rafael Deleo and Andy Armstrong
are booked for the six round special.
Deleo, who has cleaned up most of
the Welterweights in Arizona, came
over here a couple of weeks ago to
do the same thing with the Califor-
mans and ran into grief when he
tangled with frankie West. He
claims he was not in the best of
condition and promises to make
short work Of Armstrong tonight.
He showed plenty before he went
down for the count and Mrs. Arm
strong's boy will have to do some
tall punching to win tonight.
Vincent Solano, back in good
graceS after a long layoff for duck
ing out of a match, will open the
show against Johnny Mccoy, the
San Francisco wasp" Always a
hard and fast puncher, Solano will
ge up against clever boxer tonight.
The first bout will be called at 9

BROWNS LIKELY

they at least have shown enough
power to indicate they will not be

liant pitching staff and the line

Browns show promise Of develop

Louis its first American League
title.
The Browns dropped to 500
rating in the standings yesterday
when they lost to Detroit, l to D,
in one of the two major league
games that were not rained out or
postponed because of cold weather.
Bridges was in rare form and al
lowed the Browns only four hits
while Stewart yielded five. The
Tigers punched two of the hits for
their tally in the fourth inning.
Alexanders single scoring Gehrin-
ger who had doubled turned the
trick.
With Levey continuing his bril-
liant play at shortstop and Burns
turning in a commendable per-
formance at first base, the Browns
present much more formidable

rockies have been largely RESPONSE

lowed the Browns in displaying
more power than expected. The

ENTERTA1Ns FELLOW OFFICERS.

On saturday evening the officers of
the local chapter of the Eastern Star
were delightfully."- entertained by the
outgoing worthy patron, Arthur Poult-
ney.
The first part of the evening was
spent at the theatre, where all en-
joyed the splendid film, "Dirigible."
Seats in the balcony had been reserved
for the party.
After the show the party went to
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Poultney,
where they enjoyed the delicious re-
freshments awaiting them. Decora-
tions and color scheme were carried
out in the holiday manner, and the
central attraction was the beautiful
Christmas tree, bearing gift for each
one present. Mrs. Poultney's ability
to versify Is SO well known that 1t is
not hard to imagine the mirth pro-
voked by the poem which accompan-
led each gift.
The party broke up at late hour
after enjoying most delightful eve
ming OF fun and good fellowship all
unanimous in the opinion that they
had enjoyed q most fitting beginning
OF the holiday season.

Contributions
Asked For Christmas


w. D. Garvin has requested the
News-Record to appeal to the Island
people in bringing cheer to those less
fortunate than they Several families
with children will have to depend on
the kindness of their neighbors for
Christmas cheer. He is asking that
those who have contributions to make
leave them at Irenes Variety Store
the first Of next week. He will see
that they are sent where they will do
the most good. There are number
of children whom Santa Claus will
not visit this year except through the
kindness of others. 1t is a foregone
conclusion that the people of the Is
land are not going to let the faith of
little children be shattered by failure
on their part Through no particular
fault of their own the parents will be
unable to provide the gifts that mean
so much to the little folks. We, who
are parents Of children, cannot per-
NIT these little ones to be robbed for
even one Christmas of the happy
illusions of childhood.
Mr.. Garvin states that any gifts, no
matter whether it is food Or clothing,
bedding or fuel, can be used, and that
he will see that it is placed where it
will do good.
There are no cases of suffering on
the Island, and there will be none if
the Island people continue to concern
themselves for the need of those less
fortunate as they are now doing. The
response to the cry Of need will doubt
less be as quick on this. occasion as it
has always been heretofore.

Lower Power Rates
Effective January

There seems to be more or less mis-
understanding locally in regard to the
reduction in power rates. AS stated
previously in .this paper through a
news story and in the advertisement
Of the P. s. P. & L. Co., the reduction
in rates which became effective in
November was in commercial power.
At present there are but 48 concerns on
this estinnable lady has to say that
the Island using sufficient power to
receive this reduction, among them
the various water systems, E. & p.
feed mill, etc.
The reduction in rates which will
effect the users of domestic power,
and which viii reduce the light bills
of every Island user goes into effect
the first of January, and the differ
ence will be noted on the statements
received February 1st.
This misunderstanding seems to be
general over the Island and many ex-
pected the November bills to show the
reduction. With the December state
ments will be received enclosures
which show plainly just what saving
the new rate will mean.

Officers Searching
Cars At fauntleroy

Cars leaving the ferry have been
subjected to search on the Fauntle-
roy dock by federal prohibition and
emigration officers since Sunday
morning. What they are searching
for remains a mystery, with even the
sheriff's office kept in ignorance. 1t
is evident that the officers are work.
ing on some definite clue for some of
the cars are subjected to a thorough
search, while others receive no at
tention whatever. At first 1t was
supposed this was part of the cam
paign to make Seattle dry for Christ
mas, but this is evidently not the en-
tire reason. One car leaving the Is
land had several bottles of beer. The
owner had made no especial effort to
hide the bottles and several of them
were in plain sight. Either the officer
searching his car was near sighted or
doubted the potency Of Island manu-
featured beer, for no attention was
paid to it.
The most plausible supposition is
that the officers are looking for the
smuggling in OF Chinese, since there
seems to be no serious attempt to
locate intoxicants.
