ByA|Hostdk

SEATTLE. Wash. July 14.-Al
Hostak, promising young Seattle
middleweight, laid a hard right on
the chin Of Babe Risko, former
champ, in the seventh round of
their scheduled l0-round fight
here last night and it was curtains
for the Babe.
The knockout came after Risko
had been floored once in the third
and once in the fourth. He took q
bad beating.
In the seventh. Risko was caught
flat-footed. Hostak drove his right
with terrific power to Risko'S un,
guarded chin.
AS Risko's knees wobbled, Hos.
tax followed through with two
more rights to the ribs and the
former middleweight kingptn
folded like a sack of potatoes.

DAMAGES GIVEN
 ACCIDENT VICTIM
Six-Year.Old Girl Painfully y Injured Given Verdict
 of $l,5OO

The driver of a truck that struck and injured Julia Sturdivant, 6, while she was walking on East Haw- kins street, January 6, 1936, was held negligent, but not reckless by Judge Frank P. McEvoy in superior court today, as he awarded damages of $500 and costs to the little girl for her suit against Simon Gold. man, owner of the truck.
 Damages of $7,500 had been asked by the little girl, who brought suit through her father, James Sturdi- want with Attorney J. Gregory Lynch representing her. Attorney William F. Healey of Derby defended the action.
 Judge McEvoy, in his memoran- dunn of decision handed down today, finds that the plaintiff is a little tot, and conditions made 1t difficult for John Johnson, Jr., driver of the truck, to see her on the sidewalk, over which he was backing. The girl was reasonably careful in her &C., tions, Judge McEvoy opined.

Ladies Up In Arms

The bowling challenge from the Legion Auxiliary to the Legion Post, is beginning to take on @ ser- ious aspect. The ladies have be- come up in arms at the apparent disinclination of the gentlemen to accept their challenge. In this col- un1n, day before yesterday, the gen. tlemen expressed their opinion that, instead Cf spending an evening bowling with the ladies they could spend their time to better advan- tage" and this statement so aroused the ladies that the chairman of the Legion Bowling Committee, with out assistants", has received Q let ter from the bowling chairman of the Ladies Auxiliary to wit:
 MT. R. W. Henion:
 The Auxiliary challenged the Cas- per S. Davis Post to Q bowling match on the night of February 23rd. After @ lapse of two weeks, 10 and behold, we thought another presidential election was upon us. Such Q distortion of facts, such mud singing; gentlemen, we asked for Q friendly matchl
 As to the caliber of the bowling qualities of the Auxiliary, we of the bowling group ask you not to fret and worry so, for the majority of us have yet to complete our first bowl ing season, and I might add, we still rate an amateur standing and furthermore, 1t was not at all neces- sary to send your delegation of three, to the alleys, after the post meeting last Tuesday p. m. to check up on our scores. We were neither better or worse on that night. Well, the Auxiliary challenged the post and 1t simmers down to this.
 Either show up at the Waterville alleys Sunday afternoon, March 14, 1887 at 200 o'clock or shut up.
 Respectfully,
 CATHERINE WILLIAMS,
 Bowling Chairman. Consequently, MT. Henion is issuing an appeal to all Legion bowlers to be present at the Water vile alleys Sunday afternoon March 14th at 200 o'clock and to make Q valiant attempt to uphold the honor of the American Legion.

ROWAN SOLON HAS
RECORD TO CREDIT
Daily dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
By HENRY AVERILL.

Raleigh, March 11.-Young George
UZzell, Salisbury, has proved that the
junior member Of a delegation headed
by one of the Houses grandest vet
Grams can make a name for himself
despite the tendency of most obser-
vers and commentators to center their
attention on the senior solon.
Not that the Rowan newcomer has
sought to hog the limelight or to be
the least uncooperative with "Pete"
Murphy, his elder colleague. On the
contrary he has been something of a
shrinking violet and on almost every
issue has been in complete harmony
with Mr.. Murphy.
The Uzzell record, however, has
been one of achievement unsurpassed
by any of the younger House set and
equalled by few even of the more ma
ture and more experienced represen-
tatives.
Coming from one of the States
leading railroad centers, Mr.. Uzzell
was rather naturally inclined to sup
port the cause of labor, though as
chairman of the House Committee on
Manufacturing and Labor he has pur-
sued a policy of complete fairness to-
ward industry and capital as well az
toward the workers.
. Early in the session he saved the
maximum hour" bill from irretriev
able disaster at time when prema-
ture action by laborites had led to an
unfavorable decision by his commit
tee. Had he accomplished nothing else
he would have proved his worth by
his battle for North Cardinals first
official acknowledgment Of the fact
that hours of labor are closely con-
nected with the welfare of the state.
But, in addition, the Salisbury man
has shown himself possessed of a
clear grasp of almost every legisla-
tive matter and in several instances
his support of worthwhile measures
has aided materially in successful en-
actment
