ABLE SLUGGERS TOP BOUTS ON
 BUCK ROSTER
Swede is Choice to Deci- sion Salvas asJacksOn
 and Dundee Clash
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Any nghter who can beat Al Gainsr and Mickey Walker within week Is worth the time and eye sight that any boxing fan in this wide world would spend at any ringside. That fighter, and believe you me, he is Q fighter, Is John (Swede) Anderson, heavyweight champion of his native land and opponent of Leo (the Lion). Salvas, Chicopee Falls slugger, who has a record of 4l knockouts in 6l bouts. It's true that Salvas lost to Bud Mignault and Steve Carr before lo- c:l ringworms, but not before he had Mignault gasping for breath with solid body punches, and Carr on the canvas for 8 count that just stopped before the knockout 10, as the Meriden boy got to his feet and went on to win. Salvas is no "cutie" as back-pedaling boxer of the left jab right cross school is know. Against Q boxer he is lost, if he cannot reach his mid-section. But Anderson is no boxer either, and happens to be 8 top-flight body puncher in his own right, which he proved against Gamer. That is why, the Anderson-Salvas bout tonight should be a slugging-ee of the first rank. Anderson should win, but, like Carr, if he gets in the way of that short right hook to the chin, he may not be able to beat the count, as the Silver City 170 pounder was just about able to do Jackson and Dundee were famous ring names in the great days of the lightweights. when Willie Jackson and Johnny Dundee proved constant threats to Benny Leonard's rise to the fistic heights that eliminated with lis winning the title and his retirement as an undefeated cham pion, ala Gene Tunney, for whom
 he set the pace, if you don't re. member Jack McAuliffe. Tonight
 Hockey Jackson of New York and
 Gene Dundee Of New Jersey will show in the eight round semi-final
 middleweight bout that is expected
 to provide grand setting for the
 main go, as Jackson and Dundee are rated by their packers as out standing 160 pound talent.

. Little Joie Stevens and Greg. Gilmartin have informed the writ CT that they have their Cracker Hill team all set to win the house league this year. When asked the other day who his team was com- posed of, Greg. replied that he would jump center, and that he would be picked as the all House league center at the end of the season: at the guard position he said that he had little Joe "G' man Stevens and Coyle, while at forward he expected to have his old running mate Pepper" Carr, while the other forward position was open to several well known boys from the hill.

Conlan, c. Connell, J. Slavin, J. Joyce, o.

Dartmouth

Dartmouth
 Hanover, N. H., Oct. 31-(UP)- With Joe Kiernan, big kicking full- back, almost certain to remain on the sidelines against Yale, John Handrahan was the object of spe- cial attention of Dartmouth coach- es, and gave promise of filling the post satisfactorily. Handrahan will share the putting with Fred Hol- lingsworth who is expected to share a halfback position with Frank Marine. Latta McCray, regular guard who has been out with strained back, took part in yester- days, final intensive workout, and was pronounced it. With the ex- ceptoin of Kiernan the squad will be at top strength.
 Harvard
 Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 31.-(UP) A drastic shakeup of the Harvard eleven loomed as Coach Harlow made several shifts in the lineup yesterday. Changes sent Mike Adlis, veteran tackle, and George Ford, back, down to team c, and Capt. Shaun Kelly to team B. Kelly's de- motion is temporary, however, coaches desiring to try Winter at end. Teams A and B were sent through scrimmage not at all pleasing to coaches. Though each scored touchdown, team B showed the more power.
 Brown Providence, R. l., Oct. 31-(UP) Brown continued the single wing back formation to add new plays to its repertoire for use against Har- yard Saturday. With a limited number of plays under this forma- ton Brown made the most impress sive offensive showing of the season against Syracuse and coaches hope with a greater variety on tap for Harvard close game might result. Only two places remain open on the starting eleven, and Turcone, utility lineman will likely fill one at guard, and Sharkey the other, at end. Holy Cross
 Worcester, Mass, Oct. 31-(UP)- The injury jinx has bobbed up again in the H oly Cross football camp. Jim Bowman, sophomore center from New Haven, Conn, suffered a fractured hand in the Colgate game and may be lost to the team for at least two weeks. AL though reserve pivot, Bowman had been counted on for first string duty following his brilliant per- formance against Colgate. In prepa- ration for the St. Anselm's game, the Holy Cross squad was sent through 8 long offensive passing and running scrimmage yesterday. Boston College
 | Newton, Mass, Oct. 31-(UP)- The Bostno College squad greeted Harry Downes, its newly elevated head coach, with a workout bristling with renewed vigor. The defense l for the Providence game is being built around curbing the activities ofof Hank Soar, triple threat Prov idence back, especially on stopping his passing. With Soar halted Eagle coaches feel the Providence attack will be stopped. Downes is planning to start his strongest available oIax,ox, SafIIrdav

WORK IS PROGRESSING
ON RECREATION PARK

Work is progressing on the recrea-
tion park, the site for which was pur-
chased by the City Corporation, and
which is located short distance north
of the first intersection of the new
and the old road leading to Dividing
Creek.
About five acres of land were Sc
cured from Mr.. William G. Lankford,
large part of which is woodland, in
the midst of which will be built log
cabin; in time, other structures will
be added.
At present the logs and bricks for
foundation are on the ground, and
work of erection will soon begin. The
underground is now being removed,
and when the place is cleared out, it
will make an ideal spot for the pur-
poses intended. It is high, has a
beautiful grove of trees, and clear
ed space suitable for playground. This
enterprise will fill a long-felt want
for the people of Pocomoke.

LOCAL CONTRACTORS
TO BE GIVEN PREFERENCE

Representative Goldsborough has
announced that local contractors and
material dealers would be given pref
erence in awarding contracts in con-
nection with the CCC drainage camps
to be located on the Eastern Shore.
This announcement followed a dis
cussion of the matter with Ray w.
Carpenter, of the extension service,
University of Maryland. He explain
ed to Mr.. Goldsborough that, when ar
rangements for final sites for these
camps are made, all construction
work would be handled through regu-
lar army officers.
Mr.. Carpenter also pointed out that
army officers to superintend construc-
tion of these camps would, on arrival,
contact the representatives of county
agents and camp site owners. This
was taken to indicate that all interests
would cooperate in getting these
camps under way.

"Bill" Schoolfield, as his friends
know him, is shown above dressed in
basket ball togs and wearing the name
of his school on his sweater. Bill has
made most enviable reputation as an
athlete in his first year at Randolph
Macon Academy, a "prep" school To-
Gated at Front Royal, Virginia.
He easily made the basket ball and
football teams, being elected to the
Captaincy of the former aggregation
for the year 1886. He also holds
down the position of tackle on the
varsity eleven; this being very credi-
table, since the high schools of Mary
land know very little about the great
game, soccer taking it's place.
Bill has also made good in his
scholastic work, earning representa-
ton on the honor rolls which means
a grade of 80 to 80. After finishing
Randolph Macon, he purposes to en-
ter college, where, no doubt he will
experience further advance not only
in his collegiate training, but in many
ertra curricular activities.
He is expected home this week to
spend the summer with his mother,
Mrs. VIM. H. Schoolfield.

COMMISSIONERS
MAKE C0L0RED
SCHOOL POSSIBLE
Provide For Purchase Of Jones
Lot In ''Bedlam" For LO-
cation Of New House
WORK WILL LIKELY
COMMENCE SHORTLY

A representative delegation of Po-
comoke citizens journeyed to Snow
Hill on Monday last and called upon
the Board of County Commissioners
with reference to the much discussed
location of the proposed new school
house for colored pupils.
Two sites have been under consid-
Grafton: one on Sixth street, known as
the Sturgis lot; the other in Sec
ton of the city, known as "Bedlam,"
and inhabited largely by colored peo-
pie. This lot was familiarly known
as the Ben Jones lot.
The prevailing choice of the citizens
of Pocomoke was for the Jones lot,
but the Commissioners held out for
the Sturgis site, and for some weeks
the situation seemed to be deadlock
ed by this difference of choice. The
Commissioners, of course, were looked
up to for funds with which to build
the house, and no move could be made
until they definitely showed their hand
in the matter.
On Monday last, representatives
from the City Counril, Lions Club,
Parent and Teacher Association, Wo-
mans Club, Legion Auxiliary and the
Rotary Club met the Commissioners
and placed before them the preference
of the city of the Jones lot, this pref
erence being that of both white and
colored citizens.
This delegation was most cordially
received and given respectful atten-
tion, and it soon developed that the
Board was desirious of pleasing the
people. The statement was made that
the Commissioners would appropriate
as much as they felt able for the pur-
pose in question and the Board of Edu-
cation could expend it as they saw fit.
Since the meeting, it has been
learned that an additional amount has
been added in the levy for school pur-
poses and it is thought to be suffi-
cient to carry on the work as had been
proposed by the Board of Education.
It is likely the Jones lot will soon be
purchased and the new colored school
house will be ready in the fall for oc-
cupancy.
The Jones lot is located on high
ground in the neighborhood of the
most thickly settled negro section, and
in part of the city which will hardly
develop into any other than a colored
community. This site was the choice
Of the colored people themselves, and
the Board Of County Commissioners
is to be commended for making it
possible of attainment.

BAY BRIDGE
PROJECT STILL
HANGING FIRE
Matter Rests On Action Of Con.
gress Relative To Exten-
sion OF Time

The Chesapeake Bay Bridge project
is still hanging fire: 1t seems that
the authorities at Washington are not
fully convinced that the big span is
either universally desired or advisable.
The fate of the bridge still rests with
the Interstate and Foreign Commerce
Committee of the House, and unless
that committee reports the measure
to the House within week the pres
ent act of Congress authorizing the
construction of the bridge will expire
June II.
1t was said today the committee has
not scheduled meeting However, if
a meeting should be called within a
few days, action by the House might
be possible, as the measure has the
approval of the Senate.
Several weeks ago Representative
Cole (Dem., Md, a member of the
committee, declared he was not in
clined to call up the measure in the
committee until given assurance that
loan from the works-relief program
would not jeopardize the general
works program in Maryland.
Representative Goldsborough, in
whose district the eastern terminus
of the bridge would be located, had
expressed little interest in the matter
and he has said the people of his dis
trict have expressed little concern in
the construction of such a bridge.
Mr.. Cole declined to discuss the
matter then. He merely asserted that
his committee has not scheduled
meeting to take up this or any other
matter.
1t has been pointed out that the lack
of Congressional authority to con-
struct the bridge would preclude the
granting of a loan from the works.

end of the undertaking for the time

NEGRO WOMAN
TRIES SUICIDE
in THE RIVER
Jumps Overheard But Floats
Long Enough To Be Res
cued By Collie Miller, Jr.

A colored woman, whose name no
one seems to have taken the trouble
to ascertain, was seized on Saturday
last with a desire to end the strug-
giles of this mortal existence, and
chose the Pocomoke river as the
means of ushering herself into the
vast unknown.
Her reasons for wishing to shuttle
off this mortal coil are about as
mysterious as her name, but the story
has been told that she was from Cam
bridge, Md; that she had been un-
fortunate enough to lose all her mon
ey through some light-fingered peo-
pie; that she had no friends or ac-
quaintances here to assist her in reach
ing her home; and the next best thing
she knew was to end it all in the icy
waters of the Pocomoke.
By some means or other, she was
buoyed up for an unusual length of
time after the plunge. A crowd soon
gathered, but no one seemed eager to
risk the dive after her, altho' rope
was flung to her which either she did
not see or did not want to see. Young
Collie Miller, tho, soon appeared on
the scene and, without hesitation, ov-
erboard he went after the would-be
suicide.
Contrary to the usual happening,
the woman made no resistance to the
rescue and, so, was easily hauled on
the wharf. She was carried to the
city lookup, provided with means to
go home and departed wetter if not
wiser woman.
