IND CORNELL MINES BATTLEAT COLLEGE PARK
Scott Impresses
InVictory0ver
Massey

Cowboy Howard Scott, the light
weight leather lunger, who veri-
tably tramped from Texas to
Washington last winter to ply his
eerie trade, today had just about
arrived in the hearts Of the ring
fans in view of the clean-cut 10
round lacing he administered Lew
Massey, the perennial Philadelphia
pugiliSt who was quite unable to
solve Texas twister.
Scotty veritably picked Massey
to pieces and forgot to put him to-
gether again there before the
amazed throng Of $500 who had
come prepared to see the veteran
Massey give the cowboy a sort of
q boxing lesson, in view of the
mediocre preliminary efforts Sir
Howard had exhibited here previ-
ouSly.
Scott got the range of MasSey's
jaw along about the fifth round,
after the pair of them had fought
somewhat evenly for a couple of
rounds.
Scott Takes the Lead
The third and fourth saw Scott
opening up and the fifth saw him
actually taking liberties with the
exasperated Philadelphian who
found Scott more than an aggra-
waiting target.
From the fifth through the
ninth. Scott pressed MasSey'S
button with a long, looping right,
frequently enough to establish a
winning margin. Massey was best
at mitigating but during the last
two rounds Scott met the visitor
at that game too.
Just as the bell ending the
ninth sounded, Scott cracked Mas
sey with q right to the jaw for
the hardest blow Of the very sat-
isfactory 10 rounds. The decision
was unanimous, the only time dur
ing an evening Of interesting fight
ing the gentlemen sitting in judg-
ment were able to agree in their
findings. Scott weighed 1874 and
Massey 1861.
Mills the Winner
The decision in the semi-windup
in which frankie Mills was de-
clared the winner over Pete
Galiano, though severely booed,
rightfully went to Mills, a dane
ing, prancing ,long-range hitter, if
only for the severe punishment he
administered Galiano just under
his heart.
Scores of times Mills connected
there, and connected solidly, the
last blow of the bout being a
straight right to the body in the
form Of a punctuation mark just
below the ticker. Mills weighed
14O and Galiano 1873.
Joe Bruno was a rightful win
ner over Mike Tardugno, the old
western Union boy who wasn't
quite able to deliver his message.
The Angelo MeolaJoe Doty bout
was declared a draw, despite the
fact that Angelo cracked Joe one
punch to the nose that should
have swayed any jury in his be-
half. frankie Fulco opened the
show with q welldeserved Around
victory over AL Dintamin.
Stanford Carrier and Phil Fur
are to meet next Tuesday night
in a 15-round welterweight cham.

WHAT HAVE THEY TO OFFER?

Albeit the spokesmen for portion, at least, Of the Republican ticket in Alaska have been loud, and at times careless in their criticism of the Democratic Administration nationally and Territoriay what and how they going to go about changing them should they be elected has remained deep dark mystery
 Perhaps too deep they think for the Alaskan voters to understand, perhaps they afraid to loose too soon their secret magic.
 The campaign of the Republican spokesmen ap- pears quite similar to the strategy thus far of Gov ernor Landons campaign speeches.
 Editorially the Philadelphia Record comments on the Governors recent West Mddlesex speech fol- lows, which would apply equally well as comment of the local candidates far they attempted to offer anything constructive
 Governor Landon made speech yesterday at the Pennsylvania village of West Middesex.
 We advise all citizens to read the speech through. Once you start you can't stop The suspense is awful. It goes paragraph after paragraph, while the reader slides to the edge of his chair in anxiety waiting for Governor Landon to say something - anything. He doesn't.
 Don't expect to take issue with what Landon said. It can't be done. You can't duel with cloud or wreste with lump of dough. We are in favor of everything Landon favors-liberty, progress, pros perity. cooperation government business opportun- ity and the home. Especially, the home.
 Governor Landon came out strong-well pretty strong-for the home. He said:
 We men, women and children living together families in homes."
 So we do Governor Landon keen observer calls t to attention. That arrangement of people liv- ing together in families has been going for quite a while now. We hadn't heard that anybody wanted to change it. But that isn't all that Governor Landon has to say about the home. He's full of ideas that fellow
 We see that the family and the home are the foundation of national life"
 Correct Governor. Proceed:
 We also the heads of families assuming res- ponsiblity for their support"
 Right there we began to get intensely interested Naturally we supposed Governor Landon was going on to tell us what ought to be done when the head of family discovered he could not fulfill his responsi- bity of supporting his wife and children. ! We thought of obless man listening to neigh DOTS radio wondering what the Republican candi- date intended to do about him.
 But Governor Landon went on to talk about freedom. He in favor of freedom too

 Adverse planetary aspects are dis cerned in the horoscope for today, according to astrology. It is a time when uncertainties may retard business plans.
 Industry must meet labor diffi- culties in steel manufacturing and other basic industries. The stars indicate that a carefully woven net will be spread for workers in many | fields.

 Women today are well directed. It is 8 fortunate wedding date so far as love is concerned, but fi- nancial progress may be slow. Di- vorce is unlikely.
 This should be favorable shop ping time and especially suspicious for those who buy house furnish | ings. Home building will continue | to focus attention all through the autumn.
 Letters should bring the right re- sponses if written under this rule of the stars. Even requests for loans should be lucky.
 Irritability and nervousn IS S ! should be combatted, for there may be a strong tendency toward i'll temper. Men may be more high tempered than women while this configuration continues. | Self discipline is urged by the seers who forecast exciting events through the last months of 1886. Selfishness and greed must be sternly overcome, for there will be a manifestation of human traits that give cause for anxiety. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of per- pleXities and confusion. Long jour- neys are foretold for certain men and women.

 Tt was certainly inexpensive to build her. too. We built it on my brothers farm, out of his white oak forest. Used some Louisiana cypress too. These Yahoos - that means green countrymen-work ten hours for $l. And they're plenty skilled at hewing with a broad axe and working with wood tools.

MODERN ETIQUETTE By Roberta Lee

Q. Is it good form to have ones maid wear uniform of some col or, instead of black?
 A. Yes. Many prententious homes have the maids dressed in gray, green, or mauve. And if more than one maid, their costumes shold match.
 Q. When person is calling on a friend who is very i'll, should this person insist on seeing the friend?
 A. No; it is very inconsiderate to ask to see one who is seriously ill.
 @. What is the correct pronun- ciation of the name "Jekyll," in the story, "Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde?''
 A. Pronounce je-kill, as in me. Robert Louis Stevenson says, "The family in England so pronounce it."
