LAS a detective BruseauX's capa-
bilities are too well known to us
to take him seriously. If you give
him two guesses he Will tell you
which way an elevator runs.
He's a maniac for publicity and
will not stop at anything to get
his name or picture in the papers.
1T was during the time Jack
Blackburn was held on a charge
of murder that Bruseaux sent
emissaries to us, telling us that
he had some valuable information

"He is becoming such a pest
that he is now involving the name
of reputable sports writer's and
creditable institutions in his Shiny
maneuvering to besmirch the char

"Not alone has BruseauX attack
ed the character of Joe Louis, but
he has stopped to the lowest
realms of a petty detective by in
volving the name of Joe's wife,

"Mr. BruseauX's capabilities in
inventing magic yarns about the
doping of Louis denotes a deprav-

"This is manifested in his charge
that a hyperdermic was admins

with Schmeling. In these charges
he has hurled criminal allega-

MY office has at all times been
open to Mr.. Bruseaux to come and
question me on any phase of the
Understanding fight. But he was
not man enough to avail himself
of this opportunity to have a re-
spectacle interview with me. In
stead, he sent emissaries before
his hasty departure from the city.
IF Mr.. Bruseaux doesn't. desist
from his foul practices, ne may yet
be called upon in a court of law
to answer charges of malicious
SANDER and attempted blackmail.'

.ALPHAS ROUT
KAPPAS
(By LONNIE SAUNDERS)

A good crowd braved the intense
heat at Belle Isle last Sunday to
view the game between the Alpha
and Kappa teams. This is a tri-
butte to the popularity and quality
of the weekly games between men,
Der teams of the "Fratso Baseball
League"
The Kappa team threatened to
score in opE one inning, the first,
when two singles carried them as
far as third base. In their half
of the first the Alpha bats were
effectually muted by some fine
twirling on the part of Wendell
Murphy, Kappa pitcher. However,
the Alpha boys went to work in
the second inning, and from then
on il was rout with the Alphas
winning. They combined clusters
of six, five, one, and two runs 70
amass a total of fourteen runs to
amass a total of fourteen runs. In
the meanwhile, the Kappas were
able to reach Leach, Alpha pitcher,
for only three hits which brought
them no runs.
Having defeated each team in the
league, baseball fans agree, their
can be no question that the Alpha
team has lived up to its early sea-
son promise in every way. All
teams are now pointing" for the
Alphas.
The lineup and batting order for
the two teams follows:

just been redecorated throughout
and put in new house condition, I
believe it would be to your advan-
tage to investigate at once. This
home is near schools and is just
across the street from new park
with tennis courts and swimming
pool.
ROOM & BATH
Out in the vicinity of Catholic
University there is an unusual OPP
portunity for a discriminating
person to get real living quarters.
First of all, the house in which
this room is located is a detached
one with lots of space and
grounds around it. The room is
newly furnished: no one has ever
used the furnishings, in fact, the
house itself is only a few weeks
old. There is a private shower
and bath connecting, and also the
room has cross ventilation. At
tractive early American maple
twin beds with de luxe mattress
and springs; a good sized desk,
the kind a man likes. and chairs
combined with reading lights.
The rental is $35 and is well
worth more.
DOWNTOWN ROOMS:
There is something about liv-
ing in the downtown section that
appeals to the economic side of
life. From this building where
these rooms are located you can
walk to Thirteenth and F Streets
in five minutes time. While this
may seem without rhyme or rea-
son to mention heat in July, still
that is a very important part in
the comfort of our living quarters,
which all leads to this, that rooms
in apartments are usually we'll
heated. There are several double
rooms and a single one, all very
comfortably furnished available
at this time. Rental is $3.50 for
two or SIS for one.
