CHAMPION BAER
 PUTS LEvINSKY DOWN, THEN OUT
Max Allows Kingfish to Show His Stuff for
 One Fast Round

CHICAGO, H.. S.Dee.. F29.-- Max Baer, heavyweight. champion, end ed his scheduled four round bout with Kingfish Levinsky last night by a knockout early in the second round.
 A swift hard right to the jaw 53 seconds after the opening of the second round, sent the Kingfish down and out.
 The fighter met under an agree ment providing for no decision ex- cept by a knockout.
 The ch mpion permitted the Kingfish to strut all of his stuff in the first round, cleverly avoiding taking any chances whatsoever but allowing his opponent to tire him. self quickly.
 When the second round opened and the Kingfish had seemed to lose all of his rushing tactics, Baer waded right in, real championship fashion, and out shot the right to Levinsky's jaw and the bout was over. Baer was not even breathing hard.
 Baer entered the ring weighing 2ll pounds and Levinsky tipped the scales at POI paun1s.

You would never single out the tall, slim Vernon Lefty" Gomez of the New York Yankees pitching staff as the Iron Man" Of the baseball year
 And yet that is exactly the light in which the American league pitching records for the 1884 sea- son show him.
 Iron Man" Gomez topped the league by pitching to 1035 batters in 282 innings. He won 26 games with an earned run average of 2.3. And hurled 25 complete games!
 A grand record of skill and dura- bility-and one which was not ac- complished without cost. Gomez was mighty tired athlete out there on the mound when the end of the 1884 season rolled around. A dozen pounds under his normal playing weight he certainly looked as though he would welcome the winter lay-off above all else.
 Instead of seeking rest far away from baseball diamonds in which to regain the old vitality, Lefty hurriedly packed his bags and has, tened to join the group of big league transformers heading for Japan.

Hardy fellows. the George Broth CTS basketball players
 Last night-of all nights-they braved the arduous sea voyage across Gastineau Channel to bat tie Douglas High School in the very, very cold Douglas Natator- ium.
 In fact, the Douglas Nat" was so cold, the visitors warmed up with their overcoats on, and played with sweatshirts for three quarters. But that didn't stop the first half champions in the City Basketball League from defeating their young CT. less experienced rivals, 53 to 26.
 Aided by the play of Lawrence Hill, borrowed" from the Juneau Bremen. the Green Shirts went to work and soon had command. The quarter scores were: 14-8, 27-11, 39-18, and 53-26.

No Rest Fer the Weary

All through October and Mo- vember and on up to the middle of December the party including Ruth, Gehrig, Foyx, Averill and other stars played exhibition games in the Far East, ending the tour with a series in Manila. Lefty Gomez pitched more than his share of the games, striking out an even dozen batters in the final game ef the tour against Philippine team.
 With the exhibition tour out Of the way, his vacation really be- gins. His party is to move onto Java and then continue around the world to New York. The old left arm will have couple of months rest before the spring training stunt begins.
 Nine months is quite a stretch for a pitcher to keep his arm to the grindstone-even for a physi- cal giant. And Lefty, with top weight of 173 pounds spread over his it. 11s inch frame is hardly physical giant.

B LEAGUE

The Parke-Davis team in the Elks bowling competition had an idea, last night before rolling in the final matches of the B League schedule, that it was a cinch for the championship in the aforesaid B League But that was before the bowling last night, and also before the -that-be gave Carstens, chief Parke-Davis rival, win" for a tie game played previously.
 So now, with the B League regu- lar schedule completed, Parke- Davis and Carstens bowlers are tied for the title The playoff, to see which team enters the inter league championship competition, will not be held until after New Years Day, officials said today.
 Last nights finale for the B League found three close matches, all decided by the 2-to-1 route.
 In the first one, Libby's took third place by bestgng Hills Broth CTS. The second battle was featured by the high ell and 221 bowling of F. Henning for the winning Phil cos over Parke-Davis. The last en- gagcment gave Carstens the victory over Swifts, when Mrs. Nick Ba- yard rolled 523 and 180. The Cars tens had high team figures of l. 461 and 513.
 Just exactly four teams are in the c League running as that loop faces it's final three matches to- night. In the first encounter, Frye's Delicious and Kaysers mix at 7:30 o'clock At 8:30 o'clock, the Purolas and Mojuds duel, while the last regular game of the season for all leagues is due for 9:30 o'clock, with the Smith-C -Coronas and Spark Oil Heaters scheduled.

left-handed pitchers. Both were willing to pitch as often as called upon and practically pitched their teams to pennants. They, too, were "Iron Men" There is no denying that the strain of their efforts had much to do with their loss of eff fectiveness later on. And most likely shortened their mound ca- .eers.
 For the three seasons preceding the one just completed, Gomez pitched total of TAB innings to win 6l games. It takes lot of pitching to do that!
 Just how long can he go on working that slim left arm at such terrific pace before it begins to show the wear and tear of the grind? But the 1894 records are in his favor. He again won the title of strike-out king of the Ameri- can League, flaming l58 batters, five less than his 1883 mark.
 And the official pitching records show that he clearly outclassed the highly publicized "Schoolboy' Rowe in effectiveness. Lefty finished on top of the pile with Rowe down in eighth position. That doesn't leave much room for argument. You can't go beyond the records!

Random Notes

We must agree with those who con-
denim the unnecessary importation of
Americans 10 build two and three room
cottages for homesteaders. Ii is waste
of money. Our most commodious and
substantial residences that wthstood
the tropical storm in all their fierceness.
that stood up for generations had been
constructed by our native builders.
The local officials should tell the men
in Washington that we are not all dunn
mics out here and that better service
may be had for less money, when
building these small cottages.
From the American point CT view
they are doing what is b-st. 1t provides
employment for persons who have pull
but it snksa deep hole in the appro-
priation and increases the cost of the
buildings. We are eager to see the peo-
pie get the land but would never like
to see them pay more for the houses
than they ere worth only because the
Government chooses to use $1,000 or
$500 ia day construction man.
Then the Presidents purpose is de-
feated in that our local people are not
employed and large slice of the money
goes back to the mainland without
even circulating here.
Regardless of what we may say con-
tinentals will be brought to do this in

poor since there was no room for
his birth in the inn

with the angels multitude of the
heavenly host praising God and say
ing" Gods providential care for us
is an established fact, for he has
surrounded us with unseen forces
to help us in our struggles, to care
for us when we fall and to give us
strength in times of need. What a
privilege we have to carry every
thing to God in prayer.
V. IA. GLORY to God in the high
est and on earth peace among men
in whom he is well pleased" Any
one who reads his New Testament
intelligently must see that Christ s
great purpose was to redeem men
from selfishness and to create in
them universal sympathy for their
fellows. Of this sympathy, peace
and goodwill are the invariable
characteristics.

not timid for itself.

Life's A Funny Proposition

Man comes into this world with
out his consent and leaves it against
his will
During his stay on earth his time
is spent in one continuous round of
contraries and Misunderstanding
In his infancy he is an angel. In
his boyhood he is a devil. In his
manhood he is everything from a
lizard up. In his family duties he is
damn fool. If he raises family
he is chump. 1t he doesn't raise
family he is too selfish. If he
raises a check he is a crook. If he
is a poor man he is a bad manager
and has no sense. If he is rich he
is smart but dishonest. If he is in
politics he is a CRATER. If he is not
in politics he is an undesirable cit
izen. If he goes to church he is a
hypocrite. If he doesn't he is sin
ner. If he gives to charity, it is for
show If he doesn't he is a tight
wad When he first comes into the
world everyone wants to kiss him.
Before he leave the world everyone
wants to kick him. If he dies young
there was great future before him.
If he lives to ripe old age, he is i'll
the way.
A fellow has to be contortionist
to get by these days. First of all
he's got to keep his back to the
