MUNGO HEADACHE
OF DIAMOND MART
All Bids for Much Sought
Oodger Pitcher Spurned
by Pilot Grimes.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Dec. R-
Van Lingle Mungo, the pitching truant
who caused Burleigh Grimes most of
MS headaches last season in Flatbush,
was the big headache man of the
ma1or-minor league ivory mart today.
Every National League club, notably
the New York Giants and the Chicago
Cubs, wanted to get the tempera.
mental chucker from Dixie, but Mana.
ger Grimes, getting his first chance to
do the talking in a deal, held out for
very high stakes. As a result, the en-
tire player market was clogged and
almost listless except for some Ameri-
can and minor league action.
Col. William Harold Terry was re-
ported to have offered Pitcher Hal
Schumacher Catcher Gus Mancuso,
Outf1elder Hank Leiber, First Baseman
John Mccarthy and good chunk of
Owner Horace Stoneham's dough for
Mungo and First Baseman Buddy
Hassett.
Cubs Offer Spurned.
The Cubs best offer, according to
grapevine information, was First
Baseman Rip Collins, Outfielder Tuck
Stainback, Pitcher Clay Bryant and
cash for Mungo. Grimes wanted
Frank Demaree from the Cubs or
Catcher Harry Danning from the
Giants to boot, and it was no 20.
Most of the American League clubs,
meanwhile, were trying to land estab-
lished stars for bench-warming rockies
and getting no place fast, though
many bona flde offers for swaps were
made.
Many observers detected a bitter
fight in progress between the st.
Louis Cardinals and the New York
Yankees over farm business One
report was the Cardinals charged the
Yankees with bringing up a new crisis
in the college player question by
spending $4,000 in bonuses to campus
stars for signing during the last five
years. A proposal is up before the
major and minor leagues to prohibit
the signing Of college players until
their class is graduated unless their
coilege president okayS 1t.
Stengel Again on Spot.
ON THE whole, the player mart was
case of few well-heeled man
ayers against a lot without much to
offer. Casey Stengel's latest episode
was a fine example. Casey. spying
Charley Grimm, motioned him to a
corner.
Who do you ike?" whispered Casey
excitedly.
What do you mean-who do I like
IN Boston?" whispered Grimm.
yah, in Boston," whispered Casey.
Nobody at ALL" whispered Grimm.
Stengeps jaw dropped. With great
emotion, he said:
Gosh, Charley, don't tell me I've
got that kind of q ball club up in

Cochrane's Load Lightened.
THIS move was another indication
that Cochrane is completely

Cochrane has been manager, vice

necessary to tighten his load.

MAT CARD TONIGHT
is BEST OF SEASON
Outstanding Veterans and
CoIorfuI Newcomers on
Turner's Program.

THE most attractive graphing
card offered here this season
will be presented tonight at
Il Turner'S Arena, with outstand-
ing veterans mingling with colorful
newcomers.
Ed Don George, former world cham
pion, will make his first appearance Of
the year here, stacking up against the
rough, Wllainous Jack Singer, in half
of q double feature card. Don George
lost his crown to Gus Sonnenberg in
matdom's roster days, later regaining
1t at the expense of Henri De Glane.
Steve (Crusher) Casey, angular
Irish importation who now is recog-
nized as champion In some States, will
twist with Len Macaluso, former crack
Colgate fullback, in the other feature
event. Casey has squirmed here be-
fore and is well liked by local mat
maddies, while Macaluso, who scored
lat points for Colgate in 1880, Is
making his debut in this sector. Both
matches will be one fall.
Former Acrobat ON Card.
HEADING three '30-minute prelimi-
nary matches will be Jesse James,
former acrobat who turned his antics
to the mat game, and Henry Kul-
kowich. a Russian newcomer. James,
Greek, is considered by many cauli-
flower fans as the most promising
young grappler in the business.
Other numbers restricted to 80
minutes list Vanka Zelemaik facing
Billy Hanson and Pawdey Mack meet
ing Jack Zarnos. The first bout will
get under way at $50 O'Clock.
Billy Bartush, who has been signed
by Promoter Joe Turner for an ap-
pearance here, probably will meet the
most impressive performer in the
double wind-up matches.

So, 700 In Cash Found In
Clothes OF Wreck V;ct;,,,
Sheriff Advised George w illiams Had Around sAo
in Cash on Him When Started South from New New
York Late Last Week; Killed Here

Sheriff J. E. Hamlet revealed today
that $2,7OO in cash had been found in
the discarded clothing of the late
George Williams, so, who was instant
ly killed when his new 1887 Buick Sc
dan overturned on the national high
way four miles north of the city last
Saturday night about $3.50 o'clock. The
sheriff also said he had been inform
ed the man had about $4,000 in cash
on him when he left New YORK late
last week enroute to Miami, Florida,
to join his wife, a bride of a year.
No accounting has been made for
the large sum, which the sheriff said
was contained in three $4,000 bills,
one $4,000 greenback and several ST.
900 and smaller denominations.
A man who gave the name of Peter
Coane, riding with Williams at the
time of the wreck, and who was not
seriously injured, is still being detain-
ed in the city pending an investiga-
ton, although he has not been placed
under arrest nor have charges been
preferred against him.
The sheriff on Sunday took four
$500 bills from Coane of a total of
9OZO the SHOTllI SdlU the man mad on
him. Only 20 cents was found on or
near the body of the dead man at the
scene of the wreck. The S2,70O find
came to light when a further search
of his bloody clothing was made on ar
rival here of Garland M. Budd Jr Mi
anna, Fla, attorney, sent here by the
widow to make an investigation. The
$1,000 was in small roll, smeared
With blood, and contained in two
$1,000 bills, one $500 piece of currency

where the new Buick automobile was
registered in Williams name. Coane
said Williams was driving the car at
the time of the wreck, and that the

Portrait Unveiled For
Late Congressman Pou
Mrs Margaret Pou Parham, Her Children and Mr. Par
ham from Henderson Att end, With Mr. and Mrs.
Waddell Gholson; Tributes Are Held

Pou. who for a third of a century re-
presented the District in the National
House of Representatives. The Junior
Bar Association of Johnston County
has won credit for itself in providing
tbis occasion for honoring the
memory of so great a citizen.
"In rejecting upon the career OF
Edward W. Pou we Shink of it :lrst
as a life of triumph over adverse cir
cumstances. He was born in the midst
of the Civil War and experienced II
boyhood in reconstruction days. In
Alabama. where he was sorn and in
Johnston County, where he moved
with his parents at the age of four,
the devastating blight of war made
poverty a universal condition. His
home was in the path of Sherman's
march, and nothing short of super
heroic courage enabled the youth Of
the land to emerge triumphant.
"While we think more of Edward
w. Pou as a public servant than as
a lawyer, his life story reveals that
he was indeed a lawyer. worthy OF
the great traditions of the Bar.
Though unable to complete the 1uli
course at the University OF NORTH
Carolina by reason of the necessity
for teaching to earn his living, ne
used all spare time for the study OF
the law under the direction OF his
father. for whom he was named ana
who was himself an eminent lawyer
of the Johnston County Bar"
"Mr. Pou's public record was nota-
BILE in many respects. Nearly IlIty
wears of his life was devoted to pub
lie service. Only one other man III the
history of Congress had longer con-
tin11ous service than he, this being
Gilbert N. Haugen, of Iowa who SER
we'd about ten months longer than the
continuous record of Mr.. POu. Like
wise, he had a remarkably vigorous
experience in public life. Eight Pres1-
dents served the United States during
his period of service in Congress. one
of these, Mckinley was assasslnated,
and another, Harding, died sudden
lv in office Two wars were included
during the span of his term of office
as Congressman; one, the Spanish
American War, just over but the in
fluence still being felt when he enter
ed Congress, the other, the World
War, which broke with full force in
the midst of his Congressional career.
Likewise, two depressions of nation
al and worldwide effect were expert
enced throughout the country during
the time he was in Congress. 1t was
indeed an era of excitement and
strain in which he served, and yet
his course was certain and serene
through it all.
