literally blew away 1900 of the
1000 alligatorS on his fathers farm
at Pirates Cove, a few miles out
side of Miami on the Miami river,
and it was up to George and his
four brothers to re-Stock the place.
Hand Caught Crocs
They found the best way to catch
the big, mean fellows was by hand
so the boys started working the
tropical waters. The scars which
cover Georges body were mostly
gathered in his early years when
he lacked experience. He didn't
know then, for example, that you
don't grab a gator and crock the
SAME way. A gators teeth fit nice
ly in his mouth, making it safe to
grab him by the tip of his muzzle.
You mustn't do that with a croc,
for a crCcs teeth protrude like
a bulldogs, and you must snatch
him on the side. Otherwise you'll
grab a handful of teeth-big, sharp
teeth
Knows Answers
And you mustn't count too much
on a croc's stupidity. It's all right
tc play the gator for a dumb cluck
for that's just what he is, but
a croc knows a few of the answers
and is likely to outgueSs you. And
if he gets hold of you he's much
verse than a gator A gator will
snap and retreat, but cree, when
he bites, clamps down. and threSh-
es his giant body until something
gives.
Ought to Claim Title
We wish George would up and
claim the heavyweight wrestling
championship of the world, if only
to read the behavior of the New
York Athletic Commission, when
after writing George for some
proof of why he should claim
the title, he mailed that august
body an eight foot crocodile. For

April Opens
Big League
Ball Season

NEW YORK, Jan. IL. UP)--Major
league baseball will go intersection
al in a big way this season.
Travelling Year
Instead of each club making only
three swings around the circuit dur
ing a full season, the league will add
about $4,000 miles to their travel bill
by four visits into alien territory.
Presidents Agree
This drastic change in schedules,
which promises more interesting
and harder fought pennant races,
was agreed upon at the conclusion
of q two-day conference between
Ford Prick, National League pres
ident, and William Harridge, head
OF the American.
1882 Ratio
Mr.. Harridge and decided this
new plan should pep things up,
Prick said. We have arranged for
four visits by each club instead of
the traditional three. We used to
schedule games on a AS basis,
that is, four games for the first visit,
four for the second and three for
the third. Now we have worked
out a 1892 schedule and this
ought to help lot"
The season will open April IA and
close Sept. 81.

Tor the central nlBn SCHOOL qulllIeA
over an aStonished Brawley five.
The score was 1927.
Having led the Spartans with as
high as 10 points during the early
part of the contest, the defeat came
as blow to the invading Wildcats.
The contest was all "BraWley"
until the closing minutes when bas-
ketball rules were cast aside and
the game developed into free for
all. AS the Spartans shortened the
distance between the two scores,
both teams grew nervous and the
continuous enthusiasm of the crowd
failed to help matters. The refer7
eeS were unable to call all the unin-
territorial fouls. Shots were made at
the baskets from all angles and from
every place on the floor. The play
ers seemed to have lost all the
knowledge of dribbling, passing or
clever ball playing.
Trudells foul shot that won the
game wasn't far from being mir
acle. He admits he closed his eyes,
and uttered prayer and the swish
of the basket was the sweetest
music he ever heard Trudell was
also high point man for the evening
with II digits.
TWenty-three fouls were called
during the game. They were evenly
divided between the teams and only
one player was sent to the showers
because of the four foul rule.
Ell Centre started slow and YVES
trailing by seven points at the half.
Successive baskets by Gene Wagner
and Clifford LaWless tied the score
during the latter part of the game.
The battle royal then started.

MIAMI, Jan. 12.U.P) - Walking
about this hottiSh town of ours
these days, wearing tennis shoes,
Stacks. sweatShirt. and some very
fancy scars, is the worlds great
est wrestler.
He's been in hundreds of match
es. nCS one of them framed.
Every one of his opponents has
outweighed him by at least $50
pounds, and every one of his OPP
ponents has resorted tC the most
savage and unfair tactics in an
effort to defeat him.
Yet he has never been defeated
If he had. ne would be dead.
The name of this wrestler is
George Coppinger, and his oppon-
entS have all come from two great
families OF killers, They are alli-
gators and crocodiles.
8-Year Veteran
For eight years George Coppin-
ger, %, stocky, crackerish son Of
the Everglades, has been meeting
these savage reptiles in their home
waters. And without benefit of
referee. There is no scheming pro-
moter to protect George with pre-
arrangement. Down in the murky
waters he plunges, armed only
with bare hands, to fight the ga
tors and the crocs' to the finish.
TarZan Fashion
And he can lick 'em but one
Way-by licking their ugly, power
full SHOUTS with his hands, and
Juggling them ashore. One mistake
and he's finished. The crocodileS,
or crocs as he calls them, are the
toughest. They're faster for one
thing. They're smarter for another.

EARL BROWDER.
 CANDIDATE, IS
 GIVING VIEWS
Says Majority of Sentiment Tn United States Is
 Democratic
By PRESTON GROVER

VfaOiAAANo oAN, OcpC. lJ. - EidIl Browder the Communist Presiden- tial candidate, stepped into Wash ington recently and deplored what he termed lack of freedom of the press in America.
 His speech was delivered before the National Press Club, which is hearing speakers from all political groups.
 The principal reason for report ing this is that Browder, a slen- der, pleasant fellow of 45 or 50 with dark sandy hair and mus tache, argued that the American public was not getting a fair break in the newspapers. The several score newspapermen there did not rise up in indignation at the assertion but simply asked why he thought so, and he told them.
 SENTIMENT UNREFLECTEDo
 He did not say where he got his figures, but he said 90 per cent of the newspapers in the country were owned by Republicans and were therefore not reflecting the ma- jority public sentiment The latest votes to test that, he said, had indi- cated the majority Of the sentiment was Democratic.
 The newspaper men had come to listen and so did not argue with him, as they did later among them selves, that perhaps ownership was not so much the test as whether all sides in a controversy are given an opportunity to be heard through the newspapers. Browder agreed his speeches had been reported by the newspapers
 He was thoroughly questioned on how the press was operated in a Communistic state, like Russia.
 EXPLAINS SOVIET PRESS
 Why, he was asked, were all Rus sian papers for the Soviet Gov ernment? Because, he answered. all the people were for the Soviet Government, or at least 99 per cent as shown in the most recent roll call.
 Did the remaining one per cent nave freedom of the press? No. because Communists believe in ma jority rule
 There was sort of mass lifting of eyebrows at such an interpre- tation of freedom of the press, which Browder frankly conceded was not the interpretation placed upon it in America.
 It doesn't necessarily imply any, thing, but the day Browder smoke Tn Washington, two men were ar rested on the Capital streets for distributing Communist handbills There is law in the District of Columbia prohibiting distribution of any kind of hand bills.
