Scott Bids HiQh
hiring Tonight

A chance to definitely establish
himself as an outstanding con-
tender for Tony Canzoneri's world
lightweight title against Cowboy
Howard Scott at Griffith Stadium
tonight when he boxes classy Lew
Feldman, Canzoneri's ace stable
mate, in the scheduled 10-round
feature of Goldie AhearnS 32-
round boxing show.
Recently upsetting frankie
Klick, a long time menace to Can
zoneri, in a colorful battle here,
victory over Feldman tonight would
elevate Scott to strategic posi-
tion to dispute the logical con-
leadership of Pedro Montanez
and Lou Ambers.
AS if the meeting of Feldman
and Scott was not sufficient in
itself, Ahearn tonight is backing
them up with a 10-round extra
added attraction in which frankie
Blair, two time conqueror of Phil
Furr and credited with q, verdict
over Harry DublinSky in his last
appearance locally, wages war with
Lew Raymond, popular Baltimore
boy who always goes good here.
Blair tonight brings into play a
great record against Raymond.
Raymond, however, has gone un-
defeated here within the past year
and is of the rough and ready type
capable of demanding Frankie's
best.
Two six-round events pair off
Buddy Scott. kid brother of Cow
boy Howard VS.. Dangerous Red
Loughlin, Baltimore light heavy

NEW YORK, Aug.
17.-In the Sharkey,
Louis fight at Yankee
S t a d i u m tomorrow
night, it seems that
the burden of proof
is on the Embalmed
Bomber.
Sharkey has little to
lose.
Louis future is at
stake.
If Alabama Joe can't get by
the Boston Bartender, who is
basking somewhere around his
middle thirties, then we were
all mistaken about Joe when
he was hopping over the Car
neras and the Baers and the
Uzcuduns.
You see there is a lot of differ,
ence between Joe's % summers
and the 30-odd calendars Sharkey
has seen come and go.
Throwing aside a comparison
OF their fighting abilities, there
fore, you can almost figure out
this one by the almanac.
Matter of Years
Therefore, T contend that If
Twenty-Five can't dispose of Thir-
ty-Five, at a rough guess because
you can't always go by fighters
ages in the record book, which
checks Sharkey at "a, then Twen-
ty-Two is purely a false alarm and
strictly a forerunner.
We have all marveled at No.
Twenty-Five when his opponents
were swooning at his feet in short
order.
But that is not the final test
of a fighter. You never know all
there is to know about ringman
until you have seen him pick
himself off the canvas to go on
fighting.
Louis hasn't quite done that
for us but he did the next best
thing. He was a thoroughly
whipped man from the fourth
round on, of the Schmeling fight,
when he didn't give up and didn't
quit.
He kept on going until the
twelfth, at which time he had
taken just about as much OF a
beating as a man is entitled to
take for all the fans money
turned in at the turnstiles.
At The Cross Road
So, in tomorrow nights fight,
Louis will be veritably picking
himself up off the canvas of the
twelfth round of the Schmeling
fight and coming back in an at
tempt to prove that it was all
a mistake.
Thus Joe Louis approaches the
cross-road of his pugilistic career
on the morrow when he stares into

Says
He Il Give Joe
Lesson

ORANGEBURG, N. Y, Aug.
17.-"I'm going to give Joe Louis
a boxing lesson. FIatten him?
Perhaps, but / never predict my
fights will result in knOckouts.
But if I get him rocking as
Schmeling did. it won't take me
IL rounds to end it,"
Thus Jack Sharkey, on the eve
of the battle which determines the
respective careers of a Negro in
his early twenties and a Lithuanian
in the middle thirties summed up
tomorrow evenings skirmish with
Joe Louis at the Yankee Stadium.
Sharkey was confident, but not
boastful. Five weeks of steady
training have conditioned him to
the extent where he believes him
self unbeatable.
Sharkey announced he would
work again today and then depart
for New York, where he will laze
around until noon tomorrow, when
he'll appear at the Hippodrome
for the official weighing-in cere-
monies. His work tomorrow will
consist of only light limbering ex-
erciSeS.
POMPTOM LAKE, N. j., Aug.
lit is no secret that Joe Louis
is going to perform a rib-tickling
job on the squire of Chestnut Hill.
His final boxing workout proved
that. He sailed into three spar
mates with all the viciousness of
his best days around his lucky"
camp.
When he uncorked a right hook
to the jaw of his final round with
George Higgs, the latter gentle
man sat down on the middle
rope-out.
Louis was plenty vicious Gin
close" Godfrey, Higgs and Will
liams, his sparmates, got theirs,
and got it good. If Joe has been
figuring out a way to finish the
squire of Chestnut Hill, it must
be that he has decided on a furi-
GUS body attack. Actually, this last
workout was a real test of just
how hard he could punch for the
rios and how long he could keep
up such a bombardment in three
minutes time.
Knowing that Sharkey's head is
not an open bullseye, it is likely
Joe has been quietly Schooled into
going for Jacks body. If he can
get close and crowd Jack, as he
did three sparmates yesterday, ex-
perts predict it is going to be rough
Shedding for the squire.

esting hour of the day during which
I visited the House of Representa-

anxious to hear the Senate, but as
it did not meet until Thursday, I
had to be ocntent with listening to
the disussions of the House.
The main topic of discussion was
the AAA, of which we have heard
and read a great deal in the past
month; both its weak and strong
points were discussed and debated
upon.
The discussion in the House was
very informal; several speakers
trying to speak at once, until one
of them was recognized by the
Speaker of the House.
However, I think my day was
well spent, and 1 learned many
things of interest and educational

SonTnerville Farm

Quite recently I have become
mildly interested in ancestry and
the history of old homes. After
reading old deeds and asking about
things I didn't know, I have found
out some interesting facts.
When William Penn owned the
lower part of Delaware, he decided
to two young men eighteen hun
dred acres of land near the present
locations of Kenton and Seven
Hickories. One of these men died
soon and the other spent his time
IN fox hunting and horse racing.
Nicholas Ridgely was the next
owner of the farm. In the deed
there is mentioned something about
six thousand pounds which were
required for the needed buildings.
The house and one of the barns he
built are still standing. At the
time Nicholas Ridgely lived here he
was Chancellor of the State of Del
aware. At one time because of his
ill health court was held at his
home. When he died, his wife and
"a Henry Iidgely (who was either
his nephew or his SOM inherited
the farm and divided it. This Hen
ry Ridgely was the grandfather of
the present Henry Ridgely of Do
yer.
Since the time of the Ridgelys'
ownership Sommerville farm has
passed from one family to another.

On these old deeds are many
well known signatures. Among
them are Caesar Rodney's, who I
believe was Recorder of Deeds at
that time.

Music

Education has been abroad on
the land. The appreciation of real
ly fine music has expanded in ever
widening circles.
The best that music has to offer
is no longer for the few but for the
many. Music is one of the needs
in every home. Some people even
feel that it is far more important
for child to learn music than
arithmetic. 1t is hardly more i'm
portant but it is equally as import
ant.
In one community after another
opportunities of such a wide scope
are developing. Children as well
as grown-ups are finding new ways
provided to acquire an understand
ing love and appreciation of fine
music and it's essentials. The radio
has done its part in bringing to
great masses of listeners new con-

ARE YOU
as expert as sHE?

THINK for minute-what if you had
the house to run, meals to plan and
children to care for? Do you think
you could do the job as well as your
wife does? On the same amount of
money? Be honest.
The housewives of the nation
study and know their jobs. They read
the advertisements regularly. They
keep themselves Informed of the best
offerings of the stores. They are ex-
pert purchasing agents.
These purchasing agents, from
necessity or individual desire, aim to
make every dollar spent return a full
one hundred cents worth in value.
They know their needs. They know
through the advertisements just
where these needs can be best sup
piled at the least cost. Such intelligent
buying saves time and effort and
money. 1t results in management
of the home that is truly efficient.
This is why, Mr.. Merchant, you
should advertise. Spring is opening
and Easter is almost here. Keep your
store news before the public. The
Smyrna Times goes into the homes in
this trading area, homes you should
cultivate by making weekly appeals.
