Golden Terror on
SdyoIdi-WoIf Card

The Golden Terror, 305-pound
masked wrestler, will make a re-
turn appearance at Turner's
Arena Thursday night when he
tackles Tom Mahoney, Irish star
from Los Angeles, in the semi
final to the Joe Savoldi-C Chief
Little Wolf feature number.
The Terror defeated Sammy
Menacher, of New York, in his
initial showing here two weeks
ago, and started many scraps
among the ringsiders. He smacked
one on the bald plate; kicked
another, and went after a third
who tired to slug him with an
umbrella.
Mahoney, a newcomer to these
parts, is a 23O-pounder, and is ex-
pected to give Terror many trouble
some moments.

self as a splendid back. He is as
fast as a streak and picks up
speed as he comes to line. That
paid dividends in increased yard
age yesterday.
Turk Edwards played his best
game of the year, and his down
field blocking especially was eff
fective. Barber was up to par,
and it was he who stopped F'eath-
ers on the latter'S long, twisting
run.
Wayne Milnler was one of the
outstanding players of the game.
He tackled fiercely, and came into
the picture as a ball carrier on a
deep reverse in which he took a
pass from Erny Pinckert and
waded along for an important
gain. Millner's work on the Brook
lyn tackles extensively was of high
order.

RETURNED IN '34
Harris managed the Nationals
in 1924 when the team won its
first world series, defeating the
New York Giants. He remained
here through 1928, and upon being
relieved of his local duties, went to
Detroit. The trail then led to
Boston, and Harris managed the
Boston Red Sox through the 1884
season.
When the Washington Club
sold Cronin to the Red Sox in
the autumn of 1884, Harris re-
turned to Washington and took
over the team in the spring of
1885 at Biloxi. The contract he
just signed is his fourth consecu-
tive with the Nationals.

while Joe McFadden, Hoya quar-
Iterback, added an extra point
after touchdown to his total to
make it six. Beamer and Skot-

rial or plain silk are good to use
but if your door is white on the
outside think twice before YOU
choose the usual ecru or pongee

ly more attractive and will not be
too conspicuous: The curtains
may be made double with a diff

that is always safe to use as it
gives the effect of light shining

"Miser" Paine

j. II. Paine was a composer and
critic who was a friend of Frank
Chickering's. 1t was generally
supposed that Paine was poor. His
name is associated with an expe-
rience which befell his benefactor,
Chickering. To the latter Paine in
trusted a package wrapped in q
bandana handkerchief. Assuming
that the content was manuscripts,
Chickering placed the package in
a safe. Seventeen years later the

the presence of Paine's legal rep

opened. 1t contained over $500, 900
worth of bonds and currency.
