Perry Is Crowd Winner.

MY FIRST meeting with Perry was
" years ago when he and Mary
Heeley played Molla Mallory and me
in the first round at Wimbledon. We
won easily.
1t was not until the opening night
of this years tour here that I was once
more on the same court with Fred.
That night he was let down from the
reaction of his victory over Vines and
was not interested in our doubles
match.
So once more did not have a close
glimpse of the real Perry. I have
never been so completely at loss re-
garding the real ability of first-class
star before playing him as now.
There are a few things I know. He
is a clever and definite personality
Like Borotra, he uses this to full ad-
vantage to gain public favor and
swing the balance against his rival
Tomorrow's match will always be
struggle for position.
Perry strikes me as an instructive
rather than a conscious crowd psy-
CIlOlCRlSI, WlllIS pOIobl O hiioNo
exactly the effect he will get.
I know my readers want state
ment on the winner. Unfortunately,
I must disappoint them, because 1
will not discuss the results OF matches
I play until played.
Far too many athletes are made
ridiculous by the words that shoot
6aF
their actions warrant them. Let the
final score speak for itself.
"Match Tough" Says Tilden.
T HAVE been playing wei. this Win
ter My arm, which in the past
three years has caused me much
trouble, is we'll again. I am match
tough" and ready.
Never having played Perry and
being too old to be scared of reputa-
tions, have no Perry bugaboo. If
get licked, which the public expects,
1t will be because Perry plays better
tennis than I can produce now.
There is no disgrace in defeat, and
I've had so many that one more won't
shock me into insensibility. And
have won enough that 1 won't die Of
surprise should I find myself ahead.
Frankly, I'm more interested in
playing Perry than I have been in
any match since 1 played Vines, our
first pro match at the Garden.
Win or lose, I'll get peace of mind.
For 7 will settle at last question
haunting me for wears "T1St how
good is Perry?"

Likes RaSsling
Well, Washington still goes for
rasSling in a big way
Tonight Joe Turner, promoter
extraordinary, offers what he
considers his best rassling show
of the 1936-37 winter season.
Says Uncle Joe, without bat
ting an eye:
81 tell you this card tonight
is tops It's far and away tue
best show of the season. Look
'em over. We've got the rough
est and toughest; we've got the
clevereSt; we've got college boys
and we've got men hardened in
the university of hard knocks.
Above everything else, we've got
variety. What did that guy
Poet say? Wasn't it that variety
is the spice of life? Well, we've
got it tonight in this show, be-
lieve you me, and the fan who
misses this thing tonight will be
mighty sorry, tell you"
Well, Uncle Joe, it ought to be
q good show, what with Biffy Joe
Cox and Tarzan John Katan hurl-
ing each other all over the place,
including the first 10 rows of the
ringside, and Laverne 'The Leer-
er" Baxter trying to flip Flippy
Floyd Marshall, and Nick Campo
freda footballing AL Billings.
Filings Wicked Shot
Whoever christened Uncle Joe'S
arena "The Palace Of Mirth"
probably will know tonight that
he certainly hit it exactly right.
The Cox-Katan brawl may turn
out to be a shot-putting contest
with one or the other the shot
putter and the remaining rasSler
the shot. The world record will
be endangered. The present mark
is the eleventh row and is held
by Katan, who filings q wicked
shot when he is in an inSpira-
tional mood.
This one is scheduled for one
fall to a finish.
The viperiest villain of 'em all,
leering Laverne of the loud noises,
expects to put the sting on Floyd
Marshall, who happens to be no
relative at all to the Big Pan
America Man, George Preston
Marshall, even if each is show
man in his own right.
Says Floyd in relation to
George:
"Sure, I'll wreStIe for him At
the Pan-American Exposition or
any other exposition. That's
my middle name, Exposition,
and wet wash, or no wet wash,
he can count me in if the house
count is right"
Baxter and Marshall are down
for a Commute episode.
The other three boutS-Bill

to be good.

SIGNALS
EXPECTED SHORTLY
Both Sides To Be Guarded
by Stop and Go Signs at
Early Date

Now +~affic signals for both sides
of the Church-Charles street under
pass have been ordered and are ex-
pected here almost any day. Mayor
Henry T. Powell said today. Interrupt
tions by strikes in manufacturing es-
Establishments are given by the makers
of the equipment as the reason for
the delay in shipment, the mayor
said.
The signals will be so installed that
they will operate as safeguards to
traffic on both the William and Gar
nett streets sides of the underpass,
Where possible the signals will be
attached to the standards bearing the
white way lights, but on the William
street side this will not lie practical
in one or two instances because Of
the fact that vision will not be clear
by reason Of the curvature and the
rise and fall of the streets with re-
spect to the railroad tracks overhead
and adjacent.
The mayor could not say just when
the signals would be received, but
gave assurances that they would be
installed promptly when they do ar
live.
- All the white way lighting stand
ards have been erected and the lights
have been in use now for nearly

OFFICERS FOR
FUGITIVE CONVICT
Group With Riot Guns Post Them
selves at Tourist Camp on Adj
vices from Raleigh

Police and deputy sheriffs were
sent hurriedly to the old tourist camp
highway junction two miles south of
the city in mid-afternoon Wednesday
on receipt of telephone advices from
Raleigh that Bill Payne, notorious
fugitive from States Prison, might be
headed this way. The officers were
armed with riot guns, and they went
prepared for any emergency.
They remained at the scene for sew
eral hours, but there was no trace of
Payne and two or three other fugitive
companions suspected of being with
him. And this afternoon no report or
sight of the gang had been heard of
by the officers, and they relaxed their
vigil.
Payne was reported seen on the
highway between Wendell and Ra-
leigh, and there was suspicion that
he might possibly have headed in the
direction of Henderson.

WHISKY SALES At
LOWEST FOR YEAR
ST. $500 August Volume
Also Less Than SILL
1890 Aug. 1896

Sales at the Vance county ABC
liquor store in August were the small
lest for any month of 1887 so far and
nearly 5000 less than August last year,
the monthly report for the store,
made public today at the ABC board
offices, revealed. Last months volume
of business, interpreted into dollars
and cents, was 81, $3.50, against $11,
1890 in August, 1886.
In addition to the sales of hard Ii
quors, the ABC store disposed of
$113.85 worth of wine. That made a
total of $11,7O145 in volume for the
month. The store did not handle wine
in August last year, and added that
line only since such sales were legaliz-
cd by the last legislature.
For the first eight months of 1887
sales of the store amounted to $122.-
200.35, compared with $109,08863 for
the corresponding period last year
representing an increase of nearly
$12, 600.
Only one ABC store is operated by
Vance county, that being located in
the very center of the shopping sec
ton of the city. 1t was opened July
Is, 1895, after the county voted near
ly five to one in favor of legalized
liquor sales in esta lishments owned
and operated by the county.
