Central will take the field with
another big eleven. Gonzaga will
make up what it lacks in heft by
experience and a desire to gain its
first victory over Central in three
years of effort.
A line averaging 1870 pounds
will take the field for the Blue and
White, including several veterans

and John Hancock will be the

and Ken Herbert, the tackles, and
Charlie Jones, center. The latter

High.
Bob GoldSworthy, sub back last
year, will quarterback the back
field. His ball-carrying mates will
be Wilbur Barr, Louis Chacos and
Bill Ickes. This backfield array
averages $50 pounds.
Eight Iettermen will be in &C
ton for Gonzaga. They include
Frank Fenwick, 200-pound tackle;
Joe Mcdonald, all.prep center of
1886; AL Fennel, guard; Charles
Butler, end, and the backfield

OVERCHAMP|ON
Barney Ross Seen
on Short Odds
By DAVIS J. WALSH

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Accord-
ing to conservative estimates
along Broadway today, something
like a half million dollars will be
bet right at the ringside Thurs
day night when three world
champions will lay their titles on
the counter and fourth probably
will relinquish, finally and for
ever, Just whatever claim he has
to his.
Oddly, they say a lot of that
money will go in against the one
man whose championship seemed
safest, namely Barney Ross. top
hand of the welterweights.
Moreover, 1t will be bet-at the
odds-on Cerefino Garcia not to
beat Ross, but to win by a knock
out.
For one thing, that's probably
the only way he can win. For an
other, the word is getting around
that Ross isn't due and that Gar
cha is. But, then, it's well to re-
member that these fast boys with
dollar are always trying to move
things around, to get what they
think is the right price. Maybe
they want Ross. but not at the
present market.
WOULD TAKE THIL
For instance, Pete Reilly, a big
bettor, is around today apparently
trying to take Marcel Thil, the ell
derby Frenchman who has q GER
tain nuiSance-value as the recog-
niZed middleweight champion
abroad, against Fred Apostoli, of
San Francisco, Reilly's asking
price being 81. Personally,
don't believe him. I don't think
he wants Thil at any price. In
fact, I don't think anybody does.
For the lightweight champion
ship fight of the evening, they're
quoting rs on Pedro Montanez
over Lou Ambers-and here again
I think detect the presence of a
brunei gentleman in the wood
pile. The smart money will go on
Ambers, if it can get that price.
But it won't. Too many people
remember the slathering Ambers
gave MontaneZ through the clos
ing rounds of their last meeting.
FAVOR ESCOBAR
Everybody seems to be stringing
with SiXto Escobar, the Puerto
Rican, to keep his bantamweight
championship away from Harry
Jeffra. This, in spite of the fact
that Jeffra has twice taken Sixto
down to the corner and back in
non.title fights. The point is
that they think that, when the
checks are down, Sixto is the kind
who can go out there and pick
them up.
Tony Canzoneri, however,
doesn't think so. He's stringing
with Jeff a. He's also stringing
with Garcia against Ross, which
may be due to the fact that Ross
took him for his lightweight cham.
pionship a few years ago. And
then again it may be just possible
that Tony knows something. He
says he does.

By SID KATZNELL

Anticipating the greatest season
since its organization 20 years ago,
the Knights of Columbus Bowling
League inaugurates its campaign
tomorrow night on the Rendezvous
mapleways. Ten teams Of the
highest caIiber are entered in the
circuit, which plans numerous out

season puts on steam.
The grocery leagues got off to
a flying start last night.
M. L. Langford, vice president
of the Sanitary Grocery Company,
featured the Sanitary Leagues
opening by rolling a twisting first
ball down the Convention Halls
alleys. Thirty-two teams saw &C.

sidered one of the worlds largest
commercial leagues in the country.

S. w. link, general superin-
tendent of the Washington District
of the Atlantic and Pacific, rolled
the first ball in the A. & P. circuit
at Lucky Strike. Bill Wood, genial
general manager of the Myer Davis
enterprises In Washington, also
participated in A. & P.'s inaug.
ural. He made a splendid speech.
Jumbo Bread, defending cham
pions, were off to a winning start
in the Sanico League, by taking

By CHICK KENNY

Whether you are seaworthy or
not, but intend to take a gander
at the Presidents Cup Regatta
which really and truly gets under
way in fast style here Friday at
1870 a. m, perhaps you would
like to know just where and who
to cheer for. g
If you're from Missouri, you
want to give your lungs workout.
for the speedboat driver and his.
boat who halls from Missouri. u
you're from California, you'll want
to give a yell or two to the skip

trees from that neck O tn wooks.

that 'un. And so on. :.
So to be on the safe side and
to show all the boys and girls
around you that you are up on
your speed boats, you had better
glance over the following State
and section letters that are
labeled on either side Of the hull.
ACCORDANCE TO STATE
All speed boats are lettered in
accordance with the State In
which the driver lives, as follows:
A.-Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont.
B.-Massachusetts.
C.-California.
D-Connecticut, Rhode Is.

V.-Illinois.
W.-WisconSin.
X.-Iowa and Nebraska.
Y.-Missouri and Kansas.
Z.-North and South Carolina.
Then here's another little thing
you may be interested in. Even
numbers denote professional
drivers who race for cash prizes.
while the odd numbers refer to
amateurs, who go after only
trophies.
SEVEN CLASSES
In reference to the classes in
which racing motors compete &C
cordine to size. these are deter
mined by piston diSplacementS.
There are seven classes which
follow:
Glass A motors have less than
IA Gu. In. displacement; Class B.
less than 20 Gu. in. displacement;
Glass C, less than 80 Gu. in: Class
D, less than 40; Glass e, less than
so: Glass F, less than so and Class
M, less than 712 Gu. in. displace'
ment.
Races are no longer scheduled
for Glasses D and E.
Glasses A and B have mini.
mum weight of 100 pounds; Class
c, $50 pounds; Class F, 100 pounds,
and Glass M, so pounds.
Class X cupboard motors are
nonstock for international events
only, and are not recognized by
the National Cupboard R acing
Commission.
As for the establishment Of
records, they are made in a sane
toned race With the motor and
boat carefully inspected in order
that they conform to all require
ments. Proper reports are then
presented and accepted by the Ma.
tional Racing Commission, and
thus the mark becomes official.

since the Mt. Pleasanters, along
with Eastern High, are expected to

route from New York in his own

coming regatta, but not in the
225 championship, Of course.
You'll want to be on hand for
all Of the races, including those
for the Presidents Cup, q replica
of which is being presented by
Mrs. Eleanor Patterson as a
permanent trophy this year-for
the first time.
No Permanent Trophy
For 10 years Presidents Cup
winners have had the cup to re.
tain only until the ensuing com.
petition, thereafter having no
physical evidence Of the distinc.
ton of winning the rich event.
Well, Mrs. Patterson, official
hostess of the regatta, has gra-
ciously attended to that!
Meanwhile, by no means miss
that 225 championship Saturday
afternoon, for when those hydro
planes get under way, their sternS

hull planning upward, quite out Of
the water, there indeed you will

having a greater ratio of the hull
actually in the aqua pura.
May hasten to add, before I
completely forget my marine train
ing, that the phrase 1925 cubic
inches" relates to the piston dis
placement-or cylinder content.
After that the only advantage
one way or the other Is the shape
Of the craft, the free board sur.
face Of the sides and bottom and
getting the engine to function at
its tops.
In One Lesson
And now that you have this
complete course in boat power, let
us get on to the narrowing details.
The reason this 225 champion
ship is to be a dog-eat-dog sport
ing event is that only the best
ten hydroplanes in the country,
based on previous races of the
year, can compete, and needless
to say the ranking ten will be here
for the Saturday event-what with
the national championship at
stake!
Furthermore, to qualify for com.
petition, this top ten each must
have competed in six events this
year.
Out for Blood
Consequently the lads will be
out for blood. Three races Of 10
miles each, run between 2 p. m.
and 4::3O next Saturday, are neces-
sary to decide the title, and you
are going to see such sharp turn
ing around those buoys that you'll
have to wear a bib lest you get
immersed with the spray.

winner Is awarded through the

Momentum the Thing

DAYS here on business for the
purpose Of establishing a

in this city.
After travelling over differ
ent sections of the state Mr..
Smith has decided to locate
his branch here. This selection
is attributed to the splendid
location which can furnish per-
feet railroad & Motor Bus
transportation and also the ad-
vantage of highway 81 which
will carry a heavy traffic i'm
mediately after completion of
several short stretches of pave
ment south of Winona.
The site selected for this
plant will probably be just out
side the city limits north of
Durant.
1t is believed that G. E.
Crisler of this city will be
selected as the manager of this
branch.
Mr.. Smith is recognized as
the leading Landscape Archi-
tect in the State. He is also a
member of the Civic Improve
Committee of Jackson.
He will return here within
the next few weeks to assist
anyone who is interested in
the landscape planting of their
home, or the Identification of
the City as a whole. Mr.. Smith
states that a population of any
city is increased by the proper
