Of unfavorable weather forecasts, it
was announced by officials. The new
flight schedule calls for the planes

Weather forecasts were especially
unfavorable for the northeastern area.
which would make 1t difficult for per-
sons on the ground to get a good view
OF the ships. Since the flight is being
made to give persons in the areas to
be visited an opportunity to view the
large bombers, officials decided that a
postponement would be advisable.
The flight, commanded by Lieut..

field Sunday morning at 5:45 o'clock

and as far West as Cleveland, Ohio
It is scheduled to return here at

I HATE the HUNTING season

HATE the HUNTING season
and 1 ALMOST hate HUNTERS.
Now is the season of the year
when the big HE-MAN of the fam
lily comes bursting into the home
with his CHEST STUCK OUT a
mile and hands the LITTLE WOMAN
a nice MESS of limp feathered
things which she is SUPPOSED to
greet with JOY. PRAISING her
mate for his WONDERFUL skill and
his kindness in PROVIDING her
with food, TO say nothing of a lot
of FUN in cleaning and picking
the things, cooking them for her
LORD and MASTERS dinner and
hating TO taste the poor things as
she can't Forget what they looked
like when he BROUGHT them in.
l suppose hunting brings out the
CAVE Man instinct, making the
hunter feel like the old WOLF
SKIN DRESSED CAVE DWELLER
who threw down hunk of tiger for
his CAVE WOMAN's dinner.

about how SAVING it is for them

the cost of shooting such as a
BULLETS of SHOT or whatever
you call them, and LICENSES.
Doves and quail are bad enough
but DUCKS are WORST. That
NASTY fishy smell while you cook
them just spoils MY appetite
And then there's DEER. Did you
ever try to make something out of
a straggly torn HUNK that is
supposed to be a steak?
And Fish are just SWELL if you
HAVE to Clean them
And another thing, why DO they
have to storm through the house
in their DIRTY clothes scattering

De Bonmah'
Defeated by
s. =. Marine

A terrific right cross, a blow that
sent Herman DE BOmmah" Graves
to the canvas in the first round of
a hammer and tong bout, Thursday
night paved the way for Johnny
Dean to score a hard-earned deci-
sion over the former middleweight
champion of the state.
Johnny Dean, who had gone down
to defeat in three previous bouts
against the El Centro Negro, chang
ed his style Thursday night and
it paid dividends.
Dean lost three decisions to the
Bomber by boring in from the open
ing bell until the final gong, but
Thursday night he waited for the
Bomber to lead and when Graves
moved forward the fighting Marine
let him have both barrels.
Graves Favorite
Shuffling out of his corner, GRAY
es was the favorite to win, but when
the first round was completed and
Graves had been knocked to the
floor the tide of battle had changed.
Dean was in complete command
in all but the second round which
Graves won by a narrow margin
by landing the hardest punches.
In the third, however, Dean gave
Graves a lesson in counter punch
ing, the method used by the Bomber
in beating Dean on three previous
occasions.
He hit the Negro repeatedly with
jolting rights and lefts and finished
strongly enough in the fourth STAN
"a to take the vote of both judges.
Bomber Rallies
Graves rallied desperately In the
early part of the final stanza but
the finish of the Marine was too
strong and sent Graves to his sec
ond defeat in two weeks.
Manuel Ortiz, flyweight cham
pion of the state and rated the ma
TONS outstanding amateur in this
division, hit Dallas Knapp with
everything but the water bucket but
couldn't send the game sailor to
the canvas. Ortiz won every round
by landing the most punches but
he couldn't put across a killing
blow.
JoJo Halman bounced back into
the limelight when he kayoed Chuck
Pappas of the us. Navy in 1:50
of the second round with a left
hook to the head.
Ike Blair, for reasons known only
to the referee, was awarded a de-
cision over Paul Chabar of the Navy
The sailor won three of the four
rounds and apparently had the
fight sewed up as early as the third
round.
Sailor MCGEE decisioned Ray Rog-
ers, Carl Bryant kayoed Don Null
ligan in the fourth round of the
widest fight of the night and Jack
Arnold was given the verdict over
Hal Vincent-but it was a question
able one.

Organization of
Semi-PrO Ball
Sought by Wagner

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 10. WP)-
Organization of 1000 semi-profas~
sional baseball teams in the Unit
ed States into one association, pat
termed after organized baseball, has
been started by the national semi
pro baseball congress, Honus Wag-
ner, high commissioner, announced
today.
League teams will be under con-
tract, Wagner said, the players will
not be permitted to jump from one
league to another under the nation
al system, unless released by their
managers.
Violation of contract would out
law a player in semi-pro circles,
Wagner explained, and would make
the player ineligible to compete
with any member team of the ma
tional association.
The semi-pros will publish their
own rules, Wagner announced. The
rules will follow closely those pre-
vailing in professional baseball,
with only a few minor changes.
Ernest c. Quigley, supervisor of
umpires in the National league,
will submit the rules for final adop-
ton by the semi-pro congress.
