Marshall, Charity Hurler,
Allows Pirates No Hits
and No Runs

Norfolk, July 12.-The scrap
ping TeXaco Beach Pirates fell in
defeat to the Charity baseball
nine by a score of 2 to 0 before
an excited and yelling mob that
filled the grandstands at Charity.
The Pirates were very weak at the
bat, being held to no hits by the
Charity hurler, Marshall.
Except in hitting, the Texaco
Beach resort team played fast
and smooth baseball the entire
game. Their tosser. Slant, hurl-
ed a fine game allowing only four
hits and two runs.
Third baseman, Hudgins of the
Charity ball club banged out the
most base knocks of the game.
Out of four trips to the plate
Hudgins popped out two hits. Da-
Wis, flashy shortstop, and Muir
ply, right fielder secured one hit
each for the home team.
The game was a very close af-
fair throughout the whole nine
innings. TeXaco Beach played a
hard game and went down fight
ing with all their might. Next
Sunday they will battle Cradock
on the Texaco Beach diamond.
This will be the Pirates third Vir-
ginia Carolina League game and
they are going to give it all they
have in order to mark up their

Palisades Park, N. j., July 12.-
U.P)-Max Schmeling may be re-
luctant to leave Germany for a
second tilt with Joe Louis in the
United States, but there is an
other German champion in our
midst who would be glad to meet
Shufflin' Joe any night in the
week.
I refer to Germany's brown
champion" who happens to be the
first and only boxing bear in ring
or carnival history. Teddy, as the
bear is called, packs mean wal
lop in either paw. The caulifloW-
cred ears on his sparmate, Gus
taf Waldorf, testify to that.
Gustaf and his brother, Willie
the trainer-arrived with the box
ing bruin from Germany last week
for Teddy's American pugilistlc
campaign. They are proving a SEN
sation at this amusement park
particularly among the kid box
ing fans-and will start a grand
tour of the hinterland a week
from today.
Teddy, a brown Russian bear
who scales about $50 pounds, is
nine years old. He mas been fight
ing professionally in Europe for
about four years. His earlier five
years were spent in a gymnasium
learning to punch, instead OF fol-
lowing his instinct to WreStle.
Bears like to grab like to get
their powerful forelegs about a
mas chest and playfully crush
his ribs. There have been thou
sands of wrestling bears, since the
old Romans taught them to do
tricks in the coliseum. And there
have been hundreds of boxing
kangaroos since the circus people
started importing those bouncy
animals from Australia. But Ted
dy is the first bruin prize fighter.
According to Willie and Gus
taf, their brown champion boxed
many professional pugs in Eu-
rope and knocked most of them
out. He even spared once with
Max Schmeling-and Make is
quoted as having said afterwards,
"Ach! 1t seems impossible dot an
animal who looks SO clumsy could
hit so queeck und so hard"
Teddy spars four rounds with
Gustaf Waldorf each night here
in an outdoor ring. Gustaf, a
bronzed young German with
brown hair, weighs ITO pounds.
Trainer Willie acts as referee.
Teddy always is muzzled-because
sometimes he still loses his tenn
per when nailed on the chin and
tries to use his teeth. His leather
boxing gloves are strapped on
tightly to prevent Gustaf from
getting hooked with a paw full of
long sharp claws.
A gong is rung and the big
fight is on. Gustaf sWarms into
the bear-belting him all over the
head. For the fraction of a sec
ond, Teddy seems bit beWildered.
Then, his fighting spirit is arous-
ed, he begins to throw leather at
his opponent. And when his gloves

Manteo Fights Hard

Manteo, July 12.-Red Warbur-

burton, of football fame several
years ago at the University of
Southern California, pitched and
batted the Naval Air .tat:on base
ball team to a hard 12-inning win
over Manteo here Sunday after
noon.
Warburton held local batters to
seven well-scattered hits in the
long contest. one les than his
teammates secured off two local
hurlers. Sammy Kee and Lefty
AllSbrook. He allowed two walk
and two runs.
However. Warburton wasn't by
himself in pitching a good game,
Both Kce and AllSbrook breezed
them by also. Kee allowed only
three hits and two runs. both the
result of errors, and walked four
in his nine innings on the mound.
All brook was going great until
the last extra inning. having al
lowed no hits and one walk, and
striking out all three men that
faced him in the 11th frame. How
ever, the opposing batterS got on
to his fast one in the next inning,
getting five hits and three runs to
put the game in the bag.
Warburton famed eight in II
innings, Kee slipped the third one
by six in nine innings, and Ais
brook struck out six in the three
innings that he pitched.
The game was hotly fought from
start to finish, with neither team
getting much advantage until the
last inning.
The Air station started @coring
in their half of the fourth with
two runs. However. Manteo came
UdCh Ill Gllc ldSU VI lllC ouliiS IL oiiAS
and got back one of these. The
score was unchanged at the be-
ginning of the ninth inning. Kee
retired the Air station without any
trouble, putting it up to his team
mates to get that one needed run
to tie the score, and Stave off de-
feat for while anyway. He got
a quick response, as Earl Perry,
hard hitting outfelder for the To-
cal team, sent the second pitched
ball over the right field fence for
a homerun. However, the next
three men up went down in order.
The game was nip and tuck
again, All. brook replacing Kee on
the mound for the locals, until
that fatal 18th inning.
Warburton led both teams at
bat with two hits for three times
up. He wa followed closely by
Perry and Tillett of Manteo, and
Schenck and Edwards, of the Air
station, each securing two safe
blows.

Giants Miss Chance To Catch Cubs By Dropping Game
Fight Card Is Colorfu]
BY JOHN MARSHALL

The promoters OF the boxing
matches at TeXaco Beach sched-
uled to be run off Wednesday
night at $3.50 at the fast growing
Camden County summer resort
were very encouraged last night
at the prospects CT & record
brClking crowd for the Wedne@-
day night program. If advance
SAFE 0f tickets ale indicative OF
the size of crowd then the We'd
nesday night affair will break all
records for boxing astendances,
because there is already over a
100 pasteboards sold for the
fights.
The three Cutrell brothers, who
are Co-oWners of the popular re-
sort that is noted for it's cool
breezeS and hospitality, are leav-
ing no stone unturned to assure
the promoters mat the crowds
will be handled in the best pos
Sible manner. They have built a
new portable ring that can be
moved in front Of the spacious
grandStand in the ball park and
the ring will be second to none in
the state. Built of heavy new
timber from stem to stern the
ring will be covered with a new
canvas and have new wrapped
ropes on the posts. The posts will
be painted led and white to car
ry out the color scheme at the
beach. In all the new ring has set
the Cutrell brothers back about
125 Smackers.
The promoters and the TeXaCo
management have arranged for
Henry HargraveS to Use his bus
to carry passengers flom Eliza
beth City to the scene of the
fights. The bus will leave from in
front of the Y building on Main
street. The round trip fare will be
very small and thus many fight
fans who do not have cars will
be able to attend the fights who
would otherwise have to stay at
home. The first bus is cheduled to
leave at $50 and make as many
trips as possible The round trip
charge will be very nominal.
The card which promises to be
the fastest fight card ever staged
in the Albemarle is sure to pro-
duce action throughout the en-
tire program.
In the opening bout Harold
PAGES and Hollis Baker. a couple
of 80 Founders, from the Eliza
beth City Boys club, who have
been training under the watch
full eye Of young Duke HettriCk,
will start the fire works. These |
boys are willing mixers and are
fast learning the art of self de-
fenSe.
In the second bout, Jeff In
gram, Yellow Jacket ring star
will face young Abner Riggs, an !
up and coming youngster with a
wollop. Jeff, had quite little ring
and is fast becoming
an outstanding contender in the
126 pound class.
The third battle will find Earl

of Norfolk. Earl comes from a
family and is a BROTH

of reach and like Woodrow is a
hard hitter. His style is like
Woodrow'S as he goes in wide op-

ent has to offer and depends on
his right hand to put him to sleep
if he can connect. Ashley is re-
ported faster and a more scienti-
fic scrapper than the the Eliza

perience but the promoters are
looking for one of the best fights
of the evening when they crawl
thru the ropes.

Worthless Pre-war Bank
Notes Being Used in
Many Ways

VIENNA, Jan. %. - Middle Eu-
rope, region of deprecated curren-
cies, has one problem peculiarly its
own: What to do with vast stores
of worthless bank notes which have
been superseded by new issues?
Every Vienna bureau drawer is
just about sure to contain a bundle
of pre-war crowns of a face value
totaling millions, even billions. They
are sorry reminders of the days
when a good cup of coffee cost
million crowns, a sum which would
have bought first class apartment
before the war.
Some rooms have been papered
with these old bank notes. House.
wives paste them on umbrella
stands, as nineteenth century AM
orleans decorated vases with cigar
bands.
NoW novel use for the old notes
has been developed by the itinerant
artists who wander into the city's
coffee houses and dance bars to
sell their daubs to patrons.
The old notes, which during the
war were engraved on only one
side, make excellent drawing paper.
Vienna scenes are painted on the
blank side. The reverse side of the
note is untouched-so the customer
gets not only picture but a sad
commentary on Austria's financial
history.

EIGHT ALASKA
IMPROVEMENTS
RECOMME
Seattle Chamber of Com
merce Is Supporting

attic Chamber of Commerce Alaska
Department from j. j. Underwood,
the Seattle Chambers Washington,
D. C. representative. Several OF
these projects have had the active
support of the Seattle Chamber, &C
cording to advices received in Ju-
neau.
Dredging amounting to $4,000
was listed for Dry Pass, on the
west coast of Prince of Wales Is
land. This would make it unneces-
sary for traffic going northward on

Bay, which is exposed to the open
Pacific Ocean. This project has had
the backing of the Juneau Cham
Der of Commerce.

dova will be provided for by an
appropriation of $4,000 This pro-
ject has had the approval of United
States Army Engineers for several
years. but has been waiting for
funds. 1t will require about two
years for its construction.
A harbor of refuge for Seward.
costing $4,000 is also recommended.
Five thousand dollars for Egegik
River and $4,000 for Nome complete
the list of harbor Improvements.
Money for maintenance is listed
for Stikine River, $500; Wrangell
Narrows, $4,000; and Nome har-
Dor, $22,50O
Congress Must Approve
The recommendations of the Chief
of Engineers must be approved by
Congress before funds will be avail
able for this work.
Rapid progress has been made on
the proposed small boat harbor at
Juneau and Douglas. Colonel H. J.
Wild, District Engineer, United

at both Juneau and Douglas last
summer. later recommending a sur
vey of this project, The engineers
of the War Department have just re-
turned to Seattle from Alaska, hav-
ing completed the field work OF the
survey. Estimates of costs and plans
fer the small boat harbor will now
be prepared and submitted to the
Chief of Engineers.
