Virgil Jordan, president of the Ma

by large corporations:
MY personal opinion is turnover
in consumer lines and speculation in
securities and commodities will prob
ably increase in 1888 and will continue
to f1uctuate violently thereafter, with
Government manufacture and distri-
button of fake money. but no real re-
covery of business enterprise neces-
sary to restore sound prosperity can
be expected in this country for an
indefinite period"
Alexander Bittelman, economist for
the Communist party. New York:
TO insure realization of present

COMMUNITY CLUB
 AND GENTS MEET
Hill Rivals Clash in Fea= ture Game of Twin Bill
 This Evening

The Gents of the Hill, runners-up for championship of the first round of the Community house basketball league, will attempt to check the victory streak of the Community club tonight when they meet in the feature of a two-game bill.
 Baldwin Props, also victory pos sessed, will meet the slipping Sacred Hearts in the preliminary attrac- tion.
 To date the Community club has defeated all opposition that entered it's path in the second round fight, including the Raymond Hillies, first round champions. In their first meeting, during the previous round, however, the Gents proved too strong for the Clubbers. The game VII be a battle worth witnessing, with both teams at full strength and confident of victory. The Gents have lost one game in the second round, to date, and another loss would be tragic to their aspirations to engage in the championship playof.
 Unless the Sacred Hearts show extraordinary flash and color to- night, the Baldwin Props will con- tinue undefeated in their conquest of the second round. The Props, who showed good form in the first round, and finished near the top, expect that they will be the team meeting the Reymo-ld Hillies for the trip to Boston.

Last week those MilIers who en- tered the league figuring that they would finish no better than in last place, certainly showed the rest of the teams up when they not only beat John Shaw's Office team three points, but also set up two new rec ords, in the second game they striked and spared to roll a 616 game and then ran up new high three of 1896. Mike Carlo returned to the lineup rolling 376. He had a 146 in the second. Joe Hendricks rolled 148 in this game also. As the result of this fine Outburst of wonderful pin ming the Millers are now in second place.
 It might interest some of the boys that last week in this league, sixty one strikes were made. Four of the boys pulled doubles.
 Dick (Whats My Average) Rich mOnd kept one eye on Mike Sharon and the other one on his own scores, Dick and Mike are waging a close battle for high average.
 The boys are all praising the handicap system and in all proba- bility will be voted in the bylaws next season.

Tonight's the night and Bucking- ham Hall is the place where the seasons outstanding mat bout will be held featuring two of the best known wrestlers in the world, Dan O'Mahony of Ireland and Hans Steinke of Germany. It's been a long time since either of them lost a fall, which makes their Waterbury meeting all the more promising and on two fall out of three basis, there should be action enough to last any mat fan for some time to come.
 AS a matter of precaution both men were guaranteed to be in the city by noon today, with plans to welcome O'Mahony including meeting with a delegation from the Irish American club at the Hotel Elton. Steinke was scheduled to leave Washington, D. C., last night for Waterbury, so that he will be in Waterbury by noon and the two will meet with Promoter George Mulligan and his aides, Mickey Dance and Bobby Kelly.
 Promising
 In addition to the O'Mahony, which will be the first for the huge exponent of the Irish Whip" i'll this city. the bout featuring Tommy Rae of Springfield and Walter Dusek, the youngest of the famed Omaha riot squad" should be well worth taking in, for some top-line wrestling IS sure to be on tap during the haif hour or less that they are in the ring. Another newcomer. but, by the same token, one of the best ana toughest of the eastern matmen now operating in Reb Russell, former Texas sheriff who will come to the city with a reputation worth while and one that ought to please local fandom when they see him in action.
 All in all the show is the most promising of the season, and with a good advance sale of tickets, and the midday appearance of the prin. cipals, everything should go OH without the proverbial hitch. AS a special treat for those who Ike their wrestling rough and ready, the promoters have paired Pat Reilly and Dick Stahl, both of whom have showed here before, but not against each other. This bout should be the talk of the show, which IS set for starting at 8:30 o'clock.
