 NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-The 1880 crop of hockey-recruits looks like one of the best the National Hook ay league has seen in several sea- sons, particularly in the defense line where new blood was badly needed
 A pair of new New Workers crashed in with impressive debuts several weeks after the season started and won themselves regu- lar places with the Americans and Rangers.
 Vernon Ayers, big youngster just up from amateur ranks, start ed his major league career with the Americans early in December by making his way through the worlds champion Montreal Cana diens to score a goal.
 Ayers played last year with the Sea Pleas" of the Toronto Yacht club and spent the early weeks Of this season with the New Haven Eagles.
 A week after Ayers made his ap- pearance, Joe Jerwa, former Van couver star who also had been playing in the Canadian-A American league, skated out on the Madison Square Garden ice in Ranger uniform and performed similar feat against the Detroit Falcons.
 Although six members of the Montreal A. A. A. A. team, which won the Allan Cup last spring, are working with greater or less regu- larity for the Montreal Maroons, Johnny Gallagher, another defense player,f is the outstanding one of the group.

SMOKER POSTPONED ONE
 DAY TO FEB. il
Dolan Announces Complete Card to Be Headed by
 Murphy and Manila

Postponement of the next Amer iican Legion smoker one day-from February 10 to the 11th-was an- nounced by Matchmaker Dolan. The change was made on account of a local business custom under which stores remain open on the evening of the 10th of each month.
 Dolan has completed the card, lining up four bouts, one for four and three for six rounds, making a total of 22 rounds. The headliner, as previously announced, will bring Miles Murphy and Joe Manila to- gether in six-round battle.
 The semi-final will be a six round match between Slugger Wea- yer and Harry Berkeley. They are matched to fight at 140 pounds. Berkeley is a running mate of Mur- phy and Miles expects him to give Weaver the hardest argument he has had in local ring.
 The special bout is deemed by Dolan to bo worthy of a final spot on any card. In it Caesar DeGracia and Kid Zamorra, two classy little Filipinos, are matched for six rounds. zamorra undertook to bat tie Weaver on the Legion's Decem- Der card but the latter was too big and heavy for him to have a show. DeGracia fought a draw with Louis Nabalis on the same bill, and the memory of that battle still fingers to tickle the palates of the fans who cheered both men through the entire contest. Both DeGracia and zamorra are 118-pounders, fast and clever, and know how to hit with both hands.
 The curtain raiser will be a four round go between Al Osborne, young heavy slugger, and Henry Nabalis. They will fight at ITO pounds.

PROFESSIONAL wrestling, as a sport, has been held in derision by the experts in many parts of the land, yet with comparatively little ballyhoo to stir them, some 10000 customers of the cash variety lit- erally rioted for admission to the most recent exhibition put on by the roly-polies in New York's Madi- son Square Garden.
 The contrast was sharp indeed, with the sparce and extremely un- enthusiastic turnouts for many re- cent prize-fighting programs in the same arena.
 The explanation, if one is neces- sary, seems to be that the wrest- lers, regardless of the troupe, clique or combination for which they per- spire, furnish satisfactory action and excitement. So long as they are given an entertaining show, the customers are not inouisit.ve as to whether or not the boys talk ed it over while eating a few juicy steaks before h nd in short, whether all the scowls and growls are genuine or not.
 Wrestling showmanship has un- dergone a change since the days Of Gotch and Hackenschmidt, whose "feud" was a good x-office at traction until abruptly ended. "Scis- sors Joe" Stecher, "Strangler Ed' Lewis and Earl Caddock, the man of a thousand holds" were fore runners of the present crop of for eign giants and American colleg- ians, built up to furnish the ne- cessary color"
 They may be less scientific and no more effective tha n former methods of manhandling an oppon- ent. but Gus Sonnenberg's flying tackle" Jim Londos "airplane spin and Ed Don) Georges Wolverine Slam" have helped the catch-as- catch-can ballyhoo.
 Dartmouth yielded the mat lead ership to Michigan when Sonnen- berg was somewhat disabled and beaten by George for a good-sized portion of the heavyweight wrest- ling championship claims.
 George, good-looking youth Of 25 who wrestled for the U. s. A. in the 1928 Olympics and won numerous championships for Mich igan, found the graphing game

MORGAN HITS
 TWO ON NOSE

CLEVELAND, San. 19.-Ed Nor gan of the Cleveland Indians made two terrific homers last season that for distance compared favorably with some of the great efforts of Babe Ruth and Jimmy Foxx.
 Early in the season Morgan park ed a four-sacker in the upper left field stand at Comisky park fairly well out toward center field, the first time the feat had been ac- complished.
 In mid-season, Morgan came through with another prodigious drive. This time the ball cleared the right center wall in Cleveland at distance of 395 feet from the plate.

DANIEL WEBSTER
 LIKED ILLINOIS

Springfield, Ill-(UP)-The Illi-
 nois State Journal. preparing to
 celebrate its tooth birthday next
 month, finds in it's old files an ex-
 plantation of the story that Daniel Webster once planned to settle on a Sangamon county estate and that he established the town of Sails
 bury, naming 1t for the place of his
 nativity in New Hampshire. Webster made a visit to the san
 gamon country in 1887, speaking
 at Jacksonville and Springfield. He
 was delighted with the country and declared he envied Governor Duncan, then Illinois chief execu- tive, his fine domap," referring to
 the governors holdings He said, too, that he would be proud if he were able to compete with the "prince of Illinois farmers" Jacob Strawn.
 Real estate agents and townsite promoters of the period were given to representing that distinguished personages had invested in their enterprises and 1t isn't improbable that some of them boasted of hav- ing interested Webster.
 An examination of the old rec ords fails to disclose Webster's ownership of property there. If he invested, the title to the land was never in his name.
 Salisbury received no impetus by
 reason of be ing associated with Webster's longing for a home in the west. It never progressed be-
 yond the status of a mill-site town, which was still casting votes for
 Andrew Jackson when Abraham Lincoln was a candidate Tor uni | ted States senator.

and the other government activi- ties on the floor above.
 Accommodations for the internal revenue, army and navy recruiting offices and the civil service will be included in the building.
 The postoffice public lobby will be IA feet wide and 180 feet long, with entrances at either end of the lobby. It is the desire of the treas ury department to make this a very beautiful feature of the build- ing. The postoff1ce screen will be di- vided into bays by marble pilas- ters and a marble wainscot and between the pilasters will be a bronze screen with wickets and lock box sections. The ceiling will be vaulted and the floor of an ornamental terrazzo pattern.
 The exterior will not follow the traditional postoffice design but will be in the new style of modern architecture. Though simple and quiet in treatment it is believed it will possess a new note in post office design. If the money will per- init the exterior will be of white marble and the door and window frames will be of bronze; a pro- duct of Waterbury.
 The building will be heated by the most modern two pipe vacuum heating system, and will be thoro- ughly equipped with all the latest mechanical conveniences.

A splendid description of the new postoffice building was issued today by the treasury department.

 It will be two stories in height and will also have a high basement; it will set back 10 feet from each street front, thus allowing grass plot all around which will add to the beauty of the building.
 There will be two entrances on Grand street, thus giving easy &C., cess to the postoffice proper which will occupy the entire first floor
