ANOTHER LIFE
 SNUFFED OUT,
 GANG BULLETS
Half Brother, Slain Machine Gunner Killed in
 Poolroom

CHICAGO, H., March 3.-Three masked men walked into a pool room last night and fatally shot a man who the police have identified as Anthony Demario, half brother of Machine Gun" Jack McGurn, slain similarly on the night of Febru- ary IS.
 Police Captain John Stege an- nounced the belief that DeMario died because he boasted that he knew the guys that killed Jack and I'm going to get them"
 The similarity of the executions caused the belief that the shoot ing was carried out by the same trio.
 Ten shots were fired into De- Mario as the trio said This is a stickup."

Minnesota Has Full Share of
 Winter Champs

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., March 3. The land of ten thousand lakes every one of them frozen solid boasts practically full house of national winter sports champions.
 Its reputation for cold weather and hardihood has made Minnesota logical, though not always suc- cessful, favorite for winter titles, and this year has been one of peak production.

SPORT SLANTS

Enthusiastic managers of prom ising young fighters have always been quick to label their porteges another Dempsey" another Cor bett," another Benny Leonard and so on. But by some strange oversight Gene Tunney, the retired undefeated heavyweight champion has seldom, if ever, been so honor ed. Now that is all changed.
 California fight fans have been calling Phil Brubaker, their very own entry in the White Hope" stakes, another Gene Tunney." Their claim is not without some foundation for the Dinuba Dynamo is real student of the boxing game. Like Tunney, he has no great love for the business of mauling his fellow man for pay and openly admits that he is working at his chosen trade only because it offers him a means of acquiring a fair share of the coin of the realm within the next few years.
 Punches Too Hard
 The comparison goes beyond that point. Brueaker is, like Gene, a scientific boxer. He packs quite punch, too. As a matter of fact. , he punches too hard for his own good. Bad hands have handicapped his progress in the past, but that seems to have been pretty well remedied since Phil has gained more knowledge in the are of land> ing a blow. He has been knocked down on one or two occasions but that only served to answer the question that sooner or later con- fronts every young fighter-can he get off the floor and go on to win? Brubaker proved that he could do that.
 The California hope" scale S around 200 at present and is likely to grow a bit. since he has just passed the voting age For a chep who doesn't really care for the ring game he donned the gloves at an early age He has been boxing since he was lanky kid of 16, then a sophomore in high school. In his first professional fight, Brubaker met Bert Colima, when Bert was pretty well past his peak. Since then he has beaten flock of fight CTS named Joe" His best showing, perhaps, was his one-round knock out over Fred Lenhart. He beat Levinsky in his last start and with the experience gained in winning the decision over the Kingish Bru- baker is ready to step out after bigger game. In fact he has his heart set on match with Primo Camera as stepping stone to big Amateurs" Too Rough

LONDON, March 3-Petite, dark eyed Kay Petre, English racing motorist, known as the fastest woman on earth" plans to invade the United States this summer to challenge Americas leading men race drivers.
 If they'll let me-" she added We have mixed racing, for men and women both, here and on the European continent-but I under stand they don't encourage women racers in the United States.
 I'm very keen to try, though I'd particularly like to have a gC at the 500-mile Indianapolis race which compares with our own 500 mile race at Brooklands."
 A World Record Holder
 It was at the famous Brooklands course, on the outskirts of London that Mrs. Petre last summer estab- lished a new world record for wom- en with a Smile lap speed of 1347 75 miles per hour.
 She also holds the class record for the dangerous mountain course at Brooklands.
 Last year, when women were per- mitted for the first time to enter the big 500-mile race the diminutive English girl sent her 2-litre Alfa- Romeo roaring around the concrete

 She Shaded" PetillO
 By comparison. Kelly Petillo won last years 500-mile race at Indian apolis in new record time of 106.24 m.ph.
 So small that she has to be strapped to the seat of her giant racer, to prevent her from being bounced senseless. Mrs. Petre is only five feet one inch in height wears size 3h shoes and weighs just over 100 pounds.
 Independently wealthy, she took up racing three years ago for the thrill of it, and despite her slight physique she has never had crash
 If she can gain the requisite per mission, Mrs. Petre expects to make a tour of tracks in Florida, Califor- mia and possibly have a shot at set ting up a new time record along the salt flats of Utah, where her ellow-countryman, Sir Malcolm Campbell, established the new world record of 301.1292 m.p.h. ~.

1t had been known, in a general
way that the present quarters were
to be enlarged by about half or bet

to just when work would begin nor
about how much money would be
spent.
Expansion plans call, however, for

partment of the vacant lot to the rear
of the present post office at the cor
ner of Winder and Wyche streets, and
for many years owned by Henderson

the fraternal order and the Treasury
on the price asked for the property,
and the government called for con-
domination proceedings. Then the

either case has ever been taken.
