Franklinton was in our town today
Every time / see him | think of that
joke l got on him years ago. He used
to drive a pony to cart, and when
anyone rides in a. cart, there is what
is called "horse-motion," which is a
ibobbing up and down of the cart as
the horse joys along. So passed the
joke on to him that l had heard Dad
DIV Jones tell about another fellow
when I was a boy. told Herman how
he could get rid of the horse-motion.
So he became interested at once and
asked how that was. Then l told him
to hitch a mule to the cart.

Lewis T. Jones went down east for
some tobacco plants last week. He was
coming fcack home so fast with some
of that "down east" light-wood on his
trailer that instead of setting the
woods on fire, the light-wood actually
caught fire and someone had to stop
Lewis to inform him that the trailer
was on fire.

DETROIT LIONS
 SEEK PLAYOFF
 WITH GREEN BAY
Win Over Eagles Will Cause TwO-Way Tie;
 Giants Held Even
RH united Pressl

The Detroit Lions today needed. only one more victory-agaiusS the Philadelphia Eagles in Ehelr fiIlal game Dec. 4-to force a playoH with the Green Bay Packers for the Western Division championship of the National Football league.
 The Lions kept alive their title hopes by beating the Chicago Bears. 14-7 yesterday. The Packers corn-i pleted their season with eight vic- tories against three defeats last Sunday, and are marking time while the Lions whittle away at their lead. Rated on past performances, the, Lions should win over the Eagles easily and force the Packers into a, playoff.
 Vernon Huffman's 2 yard touch down pass to Chuck Hanneman gave the Lions their winning margin over the Bears before a crowd of 26,278,. Huffman's two yard punch over the. goal line had put Detroit ahead in the first period, but the Bears had evened it. by recovering Ed Kle- wickiS tumble in the third perlod and making the break count. Mas terson tossed a pass over the goal line to Karr for the score.
 The New York Giants, Eastern Division leaders, were held to g 7-7 tie by the Brooklyn Dodgers, but their margin over the Washing ton Redskins was not reduced. Ed DanowSkfS touchdown pass to Dale Burnett with less than two minutes to play earned the Giants tie. The Dodgers had led all the way by vir- tue of Ace Parker's pass intercep- ton and 68-yard broken field run in the first quarter.
 If Washington should lose to Pittsburg Sunday it would give the Giants the eastern pennant, but if Washington wins, as it is favored to do, the eastern title will not be de- cided until the Giant Redskin game in New York Dec. {.

end of the game and the teams turned in unusually fine play con- sidering the conditions.
 Nice Work
 Farrar and Magma carried the ball nicely for the Garnet when it drove GA yards for a touchdown in the first period, Farrar scoring from the three-yard line and Magma piunging over for point after touchdown.
 In the third period, Ansonia opened up with passing attack and menaced Naugatuck twice, Carroll hurling to Burns. Finally Carroll's passes brought the ball to the Naug- atuck three-yard stripe and Carroll scored through the line. A Carroll Rygel pass tallied the extra point.
 In the final period, Carroll turned in the best run of the game, going 60 yards before Barlow in a diving tackle halted him on the Naugatuck 15-yard marker. Carroll hurt his ankle on the next play and the An sonia drive was halted. Naugatuck kicked but the visitors, who were under-dogs in pre-game dope again showed fine passing ability tc threaten. Burns dropped pass or the goal line and Ansonia's last hope of a victory dropped with this. Il was the last game of the season fol Naugatuck.

Dr. "Dropkick" Murphy holds the spotlight at Buckingham hall to- night because he goes in defense of his junior heavyweight title against Tony Siano, but another bout on the card is attracting almost as much attention. It is the clash between George Bekeras, Lithu- anian champion, making his first start in Waterbury against Maurice Cavell, clever Frenchman and local favorite.
 George Bekeras is one of the nif- tiest athletes in the game. Only 26 years old he tips the beam at close to 200 pounds and is built like a Greek god. Fast as they make them with a repertoire of holds which would do credit to the best, Be- keraS has been headliner in the midwest and on the Pacific coast for the past three seasons. A con- sistent winner against top notch grapplers, BekeraS is classed with the leading heavyweights in the country and probably the best among foreign grapplers now cam- pdISIl1klS OLI bllAo oAOC VI oAAC <AV@ lantic. At time when the game needs younger men to wear the cloak of the immortal Frank Gotch. the coming east of the Lithuanian champion is regarded important be- cause of his outstanding record and the part he is expected to play be- fore the end of the winter season among challengers for the worlds title.
 Bekeras faces clever and tricky master in Maurice Cavell the Frenchman and how he fares ir this number vii ldepend his future mat engagements with top notchers.

Mr.. Nichols, who is returning

development Of Washington. He has,
been appointed by the commission to

for the central area of Washington.
He has been architectural consultant
to the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission ever since 1t was
created.
Mr.. Partridge believes the develop
ment Of East Washington should be-
gin right at the boundary Of the
Capitol grounds and has planned Q
semi-circular connection between the
grounds and East Capitol street to
tie the two together and provide q
more suitable entrance to the Capitol
grounds. He feels that much Of the
dignity of the East Capitol street ap-
proach to the Capitol, which should
be a major approach, Is lost by the
fact that the street runs, without
architectural preparation, into the
Capitol grounds and then squarely
into q large automobile parking area.
He believes that East Warrington
and especially East Capitol street can
