CHAMP SECOND
 CHOICE IN 30 WITHL. AMDERS
MOmtanez 2 to 5 in NOn- Title Bout Tonight in
 New. York

New York, April S.-(UP)-Fal- tering Lightweight Champion Lou Ambers who used to be known as the Herkimer, N. Y., Hurricane" faces the most severe test of his career tonight when he meets Pedro Montanex, Swarthy Puerto Rican title contender.
 Although AmberS' crown Is not at stake-bOtl1 men are overweight and the fight is scheduled for only lO-rounds- s-the champions prestige and drawing power will be gone should he fail to score an inipreS- sive victory.
 If Broadway believed Ambers still had the speed that carried him to the title against Tony Canzonerl last September, he would be the favorite instead of 8 7-5 underdog. But the champions poor showing since has cost him support of the So-called smart money" a month before the defense of his title against Canzoneri.
 Pedro might be g heavier favorlte had he not injured an ankle m training a week ago which forced postponement of this match. HIS packers seem to be overlooking the mass of scar tissue lining the top of both eyebrows which even a light puncher like Ambers can split wide open with a solid blow. Both boys are g years old, and under stoned apticles Cau weight HID to 140 pounds-five pounds over the lightweight limit.
 Ambers is expected to weight 136 1-2 and Montanez not more than a pound heavier when they weigh in at noon today.

BOROUGH BOY
 CHAMP BOWLER

Troy, N. Y. = Apparently bowling comes easily to Richard D. Lutze of Naugatuck, Conn.,, a freshman at Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute.
 Lutze, who never held bowling ball before enrolling at RPI, took to the sport rapidly. His rise to the heights has been meteoric until now he reigns as the premier bowler on the Institute alleys.
 At first, with his awkward ap- preach, veteran bowlers were amazed when he broke 200, but soon without any coaching or instruction of any sort, he began to beat them at their own game. AS a matter of fact, he was more surprised than they were but the pins kept on fall- ing.
 Spending most of his time per- fecting his game, Lutze now holds all the records. During the past sev- eral years ar average of 30 200 scores are marked up on the honor roll. Lutze has rolled more than 15 such games and has, in either inter- class or interfraternity competition, scored several 600 triples, a feat sel- dom accomplished. The highest he has ever rolled in 263 for a single game and a 64l triple.
 On the blackboard in the rear of the alleys on which is written the honor roll of all those who have rolled 200 or better, Lutze's name stands out. He has already filled up two rows and threatens to force the school to buy new board on which he will have enough room to i'll in all his other high games. His near est opponent is Len 'Bastian of Will transport. Pa, who only has five such games with high of 2A6.

 The Arrows triumphed 35-33 when a second half rally by the Nauga- tuck Chemical five fell just short of victory. It looked like a runaway in the first half with the Arrows leading 20-5 at the end of the sec- ond period.
 However, the Chemical team won the plaudits of the crowd by its spirited comeback in the last two periods. Swirski and Watjczak col- lected nine points each for the win- ners and Loman starred for the losers with 10 points. Fritz Klambt, director of the tourney, presented the cup at the conclusion of tn successful tourney. In a preliminary game the Collegians nosed out the "" Leaders 33-31.
 Vaughan starred for the Colle- gians with II points and Weaving tallied nine for the Leaders.

If the same bar is made into nee

SUNDAY DINNER

By ANN PAGE

GOOD food is made more appetiz-
VI ing by careful seasoning which
need not mean pepper and spices but
imaginative use of the onion family,
lemon juice and rind, celery leaves,
parsley and other herbs.
Meats in general are lower but par
ticularly forequarter beef and pork
loins. Eggs are an excellent value.
Fish is fairly plentiful and reasonably
priced. Cheese continues to be one of
the best possible values. Oysters are
again in fairly general distribution.
Apples, grapes and grapefruit are
the outstanding fruits though many
others are generally available. Vege-
tables are plentiful and reasonable.
Seasonable foods make up the fol-
lowing menus.

accompanied the party and two
of the leading national weeklies
were represented by Especial art
lists" John D. Howland, later
prominent in Colorado history,
was there for Harper's and James
E. Taylor, well known for hs
spirited drawings of incidents in
the Indian campaigns of the next
fews years, represented Frank
Leslie's.
Among the Indian leaders were
such famous chiefs as Little Ra-
ven,. Spotted Wolf, Yellow Bear,
Storm, Powder Face and Ice of
the Arapahoes; Black Kettle, Bull
Bear, Tall Bull and Grey Head
of the Cheyennes; Satanta, Sa-
tank, Stumbling Bear and Kicking
Bird of the Kiowas; Young Bear,
Ten Bears and Painted Lips of
the Comanches; and Wolf Sleeve,
Poor Bear, Iron Shirt and Crow
of the Apaches.
Although Black Kettle, Bull
Bear and the other Cheyenne
chiefs were present to talk with
the representatives of the "Great
White Father" their main camp
was pitched several miles up the
Medicine river. They weren't
taking any chances on another
Sand Greek! In fact, despite the
commissioners military escort of
some 5000 men-three troops of
the Seventh cavalry, two COM
panies of infantry and a battery
of Gatling guns-the Indians were
so numerous that they might well
have exacted revenge for that
massacre if they had been so
minded.
A Thrilling Spectacle.
Two weeks later they staged a
demonstration which probably
caused the white men some un-
easiness. One of the teamsters

Carbon County news., 1937-10-01

in the Adobe Walls and Buffalo
Wallow fights during the war of
187475. He describes the demon
station as follows:
"I shall never forget that morn
ing. At a distance of about two
miles from our camp was the
crest of a low swell in the Plains.
The background was blue sky-a
blue curtain that touched the
brown Plains. For a moment I
was dunbfounded at the sight of
what was rising over that crest
and flowing with commotion to-
ward us. It was a glittering,
f1uttering, gaily colored mass of
barbarism, the flower and perfec-
ton of the war strength of the
Plains Indian tribes. The resplen-
dent warriors, armed with all
their equipment and adorned with
all the regalia Of battle, seemed
to be rising out of the earth. Their
number was estimated at $4,000,
but I cannot vouch for it's accu-
racy.
GAS they came into palmer
view, the Indians spread their
ranks wider and wider, to create
as profound an impression as
possible, and inspire us deeply
with their power. Now they could
be heard chanting and singing.
Having arrived within a quarter
of a mile of our camp, the Indians
charged like. whirlwind, firing
their guns. ! The. charge was alb
ruptly halted, and the Indians
