another week or so the result
will be Jim Londos VS.. Jim Nc

Neither Mcmillan nor Garibaldi fig-

happened in rassling lately that 1t
doesn't pay to figure.
ITO illustrate the goodness Of the
l. game lately, Gino Garibaldi, one OF
the best raSslers in the Jim Londos-

two nice Indefinite suspensions-in New
York and Baltimore.
This, in spite of the comparative
smallness of the particular clique Carl

real money in nowadays. Gotham and

danger him physically, he not having

last night win Billy Bartush and his
engagement Friday in Philly with Dick

Bob Goodwin for the Southern light
heavyweight championship and BANJO

earned draw at Portner's. It ap-
peared to be a bigger bout than Twin
City could afford.
But apparently it was too good to be

DeCapua was signed to substitute. But
1t still looks good.
Mr.. TOOTs MONDT drew up at
w Boiling Field last night In his new
l6-cylinder roadster. Toots, who
Is used to flve-lgured gates" even
these days, looked the crowd over and
appeared pleased.
But TootS was very annoyed over
Sonnenbergs court trial In Lawrence,
Mass. He and Ray Fabiani had cooked
up a real match for Philly Friday, be-
tween Gus and Dick Shikat The ad-
vance sale was over $4,000 as early as
last night.

TLUBHEADS are designed to pro-

will not fulfill their purpose unless
the player swings properly.
We see buffers, using the niblick
for a lofted shot, hit the ball in a
low trajectory ending in considerable
roll. On the other hand, they are
apt to pop up very high shots with
their drivers. Frequently the sole
cause Is the arc of the swing, which
defeats the design of the club.

CHIMNEY FIRES

The Community Fire Com
pany engine was called to the
home of G. w. Stuart, near
town, about five o'clock Satur-
day morning, to extinguish a
chimney fire. This is the third
time within a few months that
the firemen have been called to
the dwelling to extinguish SIM
liar fires.
The firemen responded to a
call from Kinseyville, Pa, on
Monday afternoon, about four
O'Clock, where a defective flue
had led to the kitchen roof
being set on fire. The old shin
gle roof had been covered with
a slate roof, and it was neces-
sary for the firemen to tear
away a portion of the slate be-
fore the fire could be reached
and extinguished by the use of
chemicals. The damage was
considerable, but undoubtedly
the dwelling would have been
destroyed but for the arrival OF
the Fire Company.
