Durant Is proud to be host to ever
one hundred bankers in this section
Of Mississippi Friday and Saturday
of this week in a meeting at the
Hotel Durant.
They say the last kind word was
spoken about a banker in 1882. Which
may be true. We don't know of any.
n who gets more cussing than a
banker unless it's a newspaper edi-
tor. It's an almost universal faji-
Ing of the human race that each Of
us feels we can do our neighbor's
job better than he does IL.
One of our local Holmes county
bankers told us the other day he'd
like to rave our paper for just n
week. He'd really do something
with It," Whereupon we promptly
replied that we'd like 10 show him
what we could do in his bank ID
just one day.
At any rate we're glad you're here.
We hope your little visit will be
both pleasant and profitable. And
do come back to see us.

the records of the Districts Junior

Enjoying marked success as team,

together, Hehner and johnson were

Only Effort to Settle
Personal Feud.
BY GAYLE TALBOT.
Associated Press Sports Writer,

n YEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Freddie
nj steele, the middleweight cham
Y pion. and Fred Apostoli. his
most persistent challenger. are
fighting l0-rounder at the Garden
Friday night. with exactly nothing at
stake.
Even should ApostoN win by
knockout. which Is highly unlikely,
he wouldn't gain anything more than
personal satisfaction because Steele Is
coming In over the 160-pound class
limit.
It's all very confusing and also
amusing when you learn the inside OF
the set-up. There's q long-standing
feud between the two F'reddies, as well
as between their managers. and the
betting is that Apostol never will get
clean shot at Steele's crown.
Apostoii Crosses Steele.
IT SEEMS that some four years ago
Steele, already an established ring
star. went down to San Francisco for
q fight. He needed some sparring
partners. and among those answering
the call was the young and ambitious
Apostoli, who was fighting as an
amateur when he wasn't bell-hopping.
All Steele wanted was q light
sparring session. but the opportunity
was too great for Apostoli. Some of
his pals were there to watch him. He
swarmed all over Steele, and before
the professional from Tacoma could
recover from his astonishment, he had
been banged about something fearful.
Such things do happen.
1t burned Steele to crisp, and his
friends declare he hasn't even begun
to forget. He knocked Apostoli kick
ing the next time they met, as pro-
fessionals, and has every intention OF
doing it again Friday night, without
giving Aposton the satisfaction even
Of fighting for the title.
Kept From Welter Fight.
TO MAKE the situation louder and
funnier, Larry White. who pilots
Apostoli, used to be the manager of
Young Corbett, the welterweight king.
Steele. then welterweight himself,
tried until he was blue in the face to
get crack at Corbett's diadem, but
he never did.
But for their feeling Of mutual
suspicion, the two Freddies could have
made considerably more money out Of
Fridays fight than they will. New
York never gets unduly excited about
non.title bouts.
