More Cigarets Consumed

Ohioans are smoking more and
more cigarets. This is obvious
from the report issued by Superin-
tendent Frank Miller of the cigaret
excise tax division of the state tax
commission. He announced that in
July Cigaret tax collections totaled
$661,669 compared to $522,323 in
the same month a year ago. He pre-
dicted that the 1886 collections
would exceed $6,000,000. Total col
lestions for 1895 were $5,543,716.

For Delaney
In Bout

A heavyweight boxing natural,
months old in the making, awaits
WashingtonianS at Griffith Sta
dunn tonight, when Buck Everett,
District heavyweight champion,
emerges from a period of retire
ment to do scheduled 10-round bat
tie with 20-year-old Al Delaney,
Dave Sonnenberg'S great punch
ing protege out of Buffalo.
AS early as last December, when
Delaney required less than two
rounds t. stop the same Bob God
win who, on last September 80,
administered Bob Goodwin box
ing lesson on the police show,
WashingtonianS have been clamor-
ing for this shot.
A great punching youngster,
who has knocked down % OF the
81 men he has faced, and who
has had such notableS as Tommy
Loughran, George Nichols and
Lew Scozza on the floor, Delaney
probably will be favored at to D
odds tonight.
On the strength of his show
ing here and battles elsewhere,
however, Everett looms as lar
and away the toughest heavy
weight Delaney yet has met
locally.
Hero of three great fights with
Joe KNIGHT in Miami this past

PAT Deck Looms
As Muny Net
Favorite
BY GINO SINH

latcheS over the weekend steps
orth the gentleman who will go
into next Saturdays Public Parks
tennis tournament as the favorite,
though by only a nose and, at that,
a not very prominent one.
The chap who takes the bow is
none other than Pat Deck, No. l
battler of the Second-place Rock
Greek team.
Defeats Two Rivals
Over the weekend Pat accounted
for two of the No. l foemen on
other aggregationS, Happy Jacobs
and Simmons, while one of his
strongest challengers, Hy Ritzen-
berg, was Succumbing to young
Billy ContreraS, who in turn fell
before the racquet wizardry on an
other leading contender, Ray
Stocklinski.
So Pat became chief cook and
bottle washer as the Muny boys
made their last public appearance
before the tournament.
However, Stocklinski assumed a
threatening position, as did Allie
Ritzenberg and Decks youthful
teammate, Davey johnson.
Ritzenberg stopped Baker in
straight sets yesterday while Davey
allowed the once potent Muscoe
Garrett only four games in win
ming.
Rock Greek Bows
Despite Decks and Johnsen's
splendid victories, Monument de-
feated Rock Creek, four matches
to three, as the boys in the shadow
of the stone needle captured both
doubles matches and held their
lead safe.

Judging from in
quiries, comments and
letters containing sug-
gestions for the All-Star
baseball game which comes
to Washington a year
hence, the darn thing is just
about going to rival the in
auguration of next January
in the matter of bringing
visitors to Washington as
well as in the matter of
being a complete sen-out.
And speaking of the Inaugu-
ration, President Clark Crit
fifth says he is going to invite
the President of the United
States to be present at the mid
summer baseball classic in 1887
between the aces of the two
leagues.
"Who are you going to invite,
then, Griff?" we made SO bold to
ask, "Mr. Roosevelt or Mr.. Ian

Always Good Luck
"Well, kid" he said, you
know I'd Starvo to death with
out both the Democratic and
the Republican patronage, but

in the face of the National

think the American League will
need a New Dealer somewhere

So that is that and you may
have it for whatever political sig
nificance it may have, or baseball

THEY ARE ALL
 AFTER "DUTCH'
He Showed Germans, Now Italy, England Want
 American Coach

NOON, Nov. 12. Harold (Dutch) Smith, the American coach whose German Olympic proteges sailed into the U s. monopoly on international diving honors at Ber- lin last August, has invitations from both England and Italy to groom their divers for the 1940 Olympic Games in Tokyo.
 Since 1920-with the exception of a third place that escaped the Americans in 1928-the U. s. had swept the diving board by annex ing the first three places in the B. and 5-meter Olympic champion ships.
 Then in Berlin last summ r t"Dutchs" German aces, Katy Korle and Hermon Stork, took bronze medals in the high dives.
 Now amid the clamor for his coaching services, Smith, who won the Olympic springboard title for the U. s. as competitor at Los Angeles in l932, is undecided about his plans for the future. Among the offers rendered him is one from California which is receiving much attention, he disclosed here.
 Smith planned to return to his athletic direc torship at Palm Springs, Cal, by November l. On a tour of the continent, the Scan |dinavian countries and the British Isles he was applauded by capacity houses.
 By arrangement with the High gate Diving Club he gave two com bined exhibitions in London with Pete Desjardins, the Florida Olym- pic champion of 1928, an estab- lished favorite in England who has appeared here every summer since 1883.
 The dual exhibition proved such success that if Dutch" can't return next year with Desjardins, Highgate officials will try to get Marshall Wayne or Katherine e Rawls.

KALAMAZOO FINDS
 FORGOTTEN GAME

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Nov. 12.- Coach Chester Barnard learned the other day, to his surprise, that his Kalamazoo College team has an extra date on it's 1886 schedule.
 A letter from Bluffton (Ohio) College contained publicity material to be used in connection with a Kalamazoo Bluffton game here on November 21.
 Barnard said Kalamazoo offered the date to Bluffton officials last spring, that they replied they did not care to play on that date, but neglected to notify Kalamazoo they had changed their minds.
 Anyway, the two teams, which battled to scoreless tie at Bluff ton last year, will meet again Mo- vember 2l, which was an open date for Kalamazoo.
