1t is rumored the affair will be a
shooting match" meaning the best
man finishes on top. If that is true,
those New Workers had better come
equipped with pillows and blankets.
But it is hard to see how the 45-year-
old Stranger, with a fallen chest re-
sembling a beer barrel, can wheeze and
puff through an honest-to-goodness
shooting match with the younger and
smoother Shikat.
Yet rasslers and promoters alike lean
toward Lewis. Maybe the Stranger
has hidden power or maybe 1t won't be
shooting match.
WHILE all the hullabaloo has been
w going on anent the Toots Mondt-
Joe Turner mess, local fans have
sort OF lost sight OF the fact that Paul
Bowsers rasslers have been rather con-
spicuously silent here.
Goldie Ahearn, who was promoting
the BoWser shows at Boiling Field, de-
clared, when they were discontinued

ton About a week ago he said some
thing will pop during the next week OF

hoo for the rival grapplers-but still

L who fought last night, reminded a

grimaced.

quitting was my fight with Wolgast

Washington and held the Cap
itals world middleweight cham
pion, Joe Turner, to a 3-hour draw,
comes back again tonight to defend
his light-heavyweight championship

Veteran Washington sports fans sort
OF cherish the memory of Pinkie's
memorable draw with Daddy Joe, back
in the days when rassling was wrestling.
Back in 1913. Gardner, like Beamis
tonight, had youth and strength on his
side. Tonight Gardner, like Joe Turner
in 1918, has wealth of experience and
Is rated one Of the games srnartest
wrestlers.
WHILE Gardner and Beamis struggle
w in something akin to real honest
to-goodness wrestling for the light
heavy crown, Promoter Daddy Joe
hasn't forgotten the usual quota of
blood thunder stuff.
Old Chief White Feather, nearly as
old as Daddy Joe and as durable as a
wet leather shoe sole, tackles Jim Cor
rigan in another finish match, while
Fred Grobmier and Marshall Black
stock clash in the third finish feature.

 Hovda was found criminally re- sponsible by Coroner John T. Mon zani for the death of Timothy Ryan 50, and Thomas Griffin, 72. who were run down and fatally injured as they were crossing East Main street on Thanksgiving night. The coroner declared that the night was clear and visibility was extremely good and that Hovda admitted seeing the two men when several yards away from them. For some unaccountable reason he failed to stop his machine until both men were struck and hurled some dis tance in the air.
 Since being confined to police headquarters Hovda was taken crit ically i'll from gastric hemorrhages and was taken to the Waterbury hospital in critical condition. He was discharged from the institution two weeks ago and returned to the detention room at headquarters.
 Unless Hovda's friends obtain bonds today he will be obliged to spend two or three months in jail.

Birthday Of
 Edgar Allan Poe

To-day, in many parts of the world, but particularly in this country, people in many walks of life will call to mind the work and life of one of Americas most H. lustrfous sons, Edgar Allan Poe. poet, novelist and critic. It was on January 19, 1909, that Poe com menced in staid old Boston q life that was to have it's fill of sorrow and despair, to end finally on Oc- tober 2. 1S49, in what is now known as the Church Home in- firmary, on North Broadway. Bal timore, whither he had been brought a very sick man. Though only forty years old at the time of his death, Poe had achieved marked success in the field of po- etry, short story writing and criti- cism; he established for himself a reputation for excellence that has endured and grown stronger as the years rolled on, and his name now stands forth in the foremost rank of the great in the realm of let tcrs. Few there are who have not read and enjoyed "The Raven" "The BelIs", "The Fall of the House of Usher, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue". and The Gold Buzz, to mention but a few of his successes. Perhaps the number is rot so great of those who are &C., quainted with the thrilling drama in which he played the leading role. his well nigh futile quest for happiness, the denial of which he may have interpreted Tn the sol emn response, "Nevermore". so dolefully repeated by the creature of his own brain. the melancholy bird in the poem. "The Raven. Though Poe had many shortcom- ings. some of which are often over emphasized. he had great natural powers. which he put to the best use in the production of works that have brought into the hearts Of millions the happiness so sadly lacking In his own. For this req son alone. therefore. It Is very be- hitting that to-day many should pay homage to tho memory O. Edgar Allan Poe.
