BOXING 7 OPS
GYM CARD
TONIGHT

MARYLAND University will have
it's mammoth fieldhouse ready
for the 1892 basketball season,
according to H. C. "Curley" Byrd,
athletic director.
"ItII be there by that time"
Such was the flat statement of
Byrd, and, which means, the
Maryland athletes will move into
new quarters sometime around
! the first of December, 1881.
For Intramural Sports
In the future, the present
Ritchie gym will be given over to
the students and used, mainly,
for intramural athletics. Such
gymnastic equipment as rings,
ladders, leather horses, weights,
pulleys, ETC., will be installed.
Maryland'S new fieldhOuse,
which will be fashioned after
the Palestra at the University
of Pennsylvania, will be erected
between the stadium and tennis
courts on Byrd Field. 1t will
seat 400 for basketball and
5000 for boxing.
First plans called for a smaller
seating capacity, but Byrd re-
submitted the prints to the archi
tect, requesting that they be re,
vised in order to allow a larger
seating capacity. Byrd felt if he
was going to build a fieldhouse
he wanted something that would
meet future demands.
Handling Crowd Problem
Handling the crowd that will
want to attend the dual attrac
ton in the Ritchie gum will be a
problem. The Maryland boxers
will first engage Washington and
Lee ct 8 o'clock. When these en-
gagements are concluded, the ring
must be pushed to one corner and
the floor cleared of the seats SC
that V. P. I. and Maryland can
get together in a basketball
game, the time being placed at
$50 o'clock.

Aquilano Lorenzo, alias Williarst TorenZo, 59, was given three months suspended jail sente ncelon charges of breach of the peace hnd' assault when arraigned before Judge Newell Jennings in superior court this morning.

Boston--Oct. 6-New Englanders in general and lovers of the antique in particular will be glad to know that spec ial meeting of the board of trustees of the society for the preservation of New England antiquities, held in its headquarters in the old Otis house, Al Cambridge street, Bos- ton, it was voted to accept the gift of two important real estate prop critics. First and foremost, comes the bequest from the late Dr. The odore J. Eastman of the Captain Jewett mansion in the centre of the village of South Berwick, Maine. This house was the res- idence of the famous authoress, Sarah Orne Jewett who was borne in the adjoining house, which pr Eastman also bequeathed to the society With this bequest the so- c:ety was also left fund of $20, 900, the income to be applied to the upkeep of the old mansion house, it's grounds and outbuild- ings. This Is a most mem orable be- quest since it makes possible for all time the preservation of the house so closely associated with Miss Jewett and her resncidee over long term of years. Unfortun- ately the bequest did not include the furniture and the house comes to the society practically empty. but in order to help somewhat there has been received as loan from Mrs H. H. Richardson. Miss Sarah Jewett's bedroom furniture. 1 The second gift which the trust ees of the society for the preserva- tion of New England Antiquities voted to accept, is quaint struc- ture on Elm street. Marblehead bearing the still quainter name of Squash House." It comes to the society as the gift of the heirs of Miss Anne Hampton Barnes and is presented as memorial to her These donors are:
 Mrs Jewett E. Newton, Mrs For de A. Todd, Mrs Emile c. Geyelin
 Mrs H. Gates Lloyd, Jr, Mir John Hampton Barnes, Jr.
 The age of the building is un- known but it was used in the 18th century and first half of the 18th for the storing of fish in the days when the fishing industry loomet large in Marblehead. It is to bt remembered that before the Revo' lution, Marblehead was the princi
 pal fishing port of tn country employing 120 schooners of some fifty tone burden. This industry reached it's greatest development about the year 1900. after which date it gradually declined. It was over. ninety years ago or before IS. fl that the old fashioned shew was sold and moved by the new owner l from the waterfront to its present | location Elm street. It was while the building stood here on it's new site that MT James J. H. Gregory founder in 1856 of the Gregor. Seed House, used this building fo
 storing squashes. and hence it
 name. In 1929 Miss Barnes pur
 chased the Squash house and re
 stored it to its original simplicity
 There were many picturesqu ? buildings of this type along tn
 shore in the old days but now ther
 is only one other in town and tha
 fact and the beautiful framing o the bunlding are what wive it it
 value. It is one of the many build

Radio Is Best
 AnaeSthetic in Major Operation

Jefferson City, Mo, Oct 6--(UP) The voice of the radio announcer recording the rythmic swing of Burleigh Grimes pitching arm was more soothing than anaesthesia to Fred Dew, Jefferson City sports man.
 He refused to be etherized dur ing a major operation in the Jeffer- son City hospital yesterday and sat propped up on the operating table listening to the radio account of the World Series game between St Louis and Philadelphia.
 Infections in his arm caused him to become so drowsy that he was unable to flick the ashes from his cigaret. but not until the last out assured him that the Cardinals had won did Dew turn his head away from the loud speaker and close his eyes in sleep.

Ewart Asks Response
to Red Cross Call

The Red Cross Roll Call drive is
about to close but will be continued
until December 1, where the time Is
needed, L. R. Ewart, county chair
man, said today. Our country needs
Red Cross more than ever this year.
Due to the fact that the greater part
of such funds remain at home, as
people we should sustain to the limit
this great organization, Mr.. Ewart
pointed out.
when contributing to the general
relief fund do not forget to mention
your amount for Red Cross and get
your membership button.
"When the workers throughout the
county have turned in it is hoped our
county will have at least a fair show
ing. Reports from some sections are
coming in good while other parts
show slump. Perhaps the average
will be made up" he predicted.

HOGS KILLED IN
TRUCK ACCIDENT
Lamberton Truck Tips Over
With Load at Stewart
Corner Sunday

Three hogs were killed and several
others were hurt when a truck load
of 46 hogs tipped over on Highway
No. 4 at the corner by the Robert
Stewart farm south of town Sunday
about midnight.
The owner of the hogs, Otto Kru-
ger of Lamberton, and the owner OF
the truck were coming towards Red
wood Falls from Lamberton on their
way to South St. Paul to deliver the
load of hogs.
Believing he was at the corner be-
fore he reached it, the driver turned
too short and the truck turned into
the ditch and tipped over. The hogs
were thrown up against the sides and
three of them were killed.
After the accident Mr.. Kruger
called Mr.. Stewart and several other
neighbors to help him get out of the
ditch. A wrecker was called but the
only one in town was out of commits
sion. Gilbert McDougall was called
and he pulled the truck back on the
road with his oil truck.
The truck was a double-decker,
carrying hogs in both the upper and
lower compartments. Several of the
boards were broken on the box and
had to be chained together.
Four hours were spent in trying to
pull the truck out of the ditch. 1t was
until morning that it was righted and
the journey to st Paul resumed.
