"Portupine" Is Doeked for Last Time, En ding
 Stormy Career

CLEVELAND, oct. 3.-Not many miles from where she valiantly met the British in the war of 1912, the proud frigate Porcupine has found humble mooring place.
 It isn't spot where posterity may come and record it's praise for her sparkling performance in the Battle of Lake Erie 126 years ago. She rests in a gloomy sub-basement under Cleveland's city hall
 The Porcupine sailed out with Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry on September morning and helped fight the British to destruction off Putin Bay. Sturdy and strong, she was not badly damaged and con- tinued in government service many years. Lumber interests purchased her; she sank in storm, a Michi- gan naval student raised her and sent her to the Putin Bay centen- nial celebration of 1913; the late Newton D. Baker brought her to Cleveland; and then she was bur jed" as officials moved into new city hall.
 Forgotten in her basement the Porcupine isn't pretty sight for she is little more than miscellane- GUS pile of damp and rotting tim bers, dotted with hand wrought spikes and nails. A pale, ghostly light filters into the room through thick glass blocks in the sidewalk above. There is pungent odor of decay. Spider webs gliSten in the

WORLD SERIES ON TOMORROW

automobile accident since last years match
 The Juneau team will be com prised of Radde, Ugrin, Carnegie, Stewart and Stevenson, which is virtually the same team placed on the lanes last year. The early starting time of 6:30 pm. is nec- esSary due to the fact there is three hours difference in time between the two localities, it being 9.30 pm at Houston, and both getting off together should give both teams a chance to get the telegraphic scores per game in be- fore the match ends, and show what is happening at each end.

Soufh-Norfh Pin Contest

Elks of Juneau Are 10 Roll Wire Match Again with
 Houston, Tex, Lodge

The SeconG annual bowling series between the local lodge of Elks and their brothers of No. 151 in Houston, Texas, will start Wednes- day night at 6:30 p.m., and con- tinue through Thursday and Fri day, series of five games a night or Is for the match.
 Houston will be defending the cup won in last years match, and which was sponsored by Russ Her mann, local druggist, and Elmer Burkhardt, sportsman of Houston, Texas, the winner of the cup two years running, keeping permanent possession.
 Should the Juneau Lodge win the match this year, their Hous- ten brothers have invited them 10 that city to bowl the final matches jl that e. v during the Elks Ma tional Convention in 1940. Whether such invitation can be accepted 5 not known as yet, but shows in lsert the split in which the south ern icdoe is entel ing into this con-

 Juneau's marksmen did not come up to their usual expert pin-snip- ing last year for some reason or ether, due mainly to lack of prac- tice during the summer. while Houston's men had been bowling in summer leagues and were all set to go.
 They too, however, did not come up to the expected scores, for their team ranks high in the whole country. and two of their bowlers lead all Houston Commercial Leagues with averages of 200 or over. Their team average per game ! is 967 as against Juneaus approxi- mate $50, so Juneau has it's work cut out if they expect to walk away with the cup this year.
 Houston's team will be composed of Leonard, Turnham, Showalter, Earhart and Arlla. the only dif- ference in personnel is that Ear hart takes the place of Chick :. Thorpe, who was killed in sad

TIER JUNGLE LOVE"
 FEATURED AGAIN AT COLISEUM THEATRE

Reunited in the same type of film that vaulted them to screen fame, Dorothy Lamour and Ray Milland are seen together again in Her Jungle Love" the Technicolor film which ends tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Midland, whose most recent suc- cess was in the color film "Ebb Tide" scores a sensational hit as the young Indo-Malayan transport pilot forced down on jungle isle uninhabited except for the beautiful Miss Lamour. a white goddess in the eyes. of the surrounding super stition ridden natives. Lynne Over man, the rubber faced comedian who plays the part of Milland's s partner cn the trans-Pacific flight, shares the comedy honors with Jiggs, 'an unusually talented monkey.
 Midland undertakes to teach the lovely Miss Lamour, who has never before seen white man, the rudi- ments of civilization, and only real izes the complications he has let himself in for when he tries to make her understand the meaning of the English word kiss. It is from that point on that he realizes that what had started as a purely impersonal thing has blossomed into Ia one-sided romance on the part of Miss Lamour.

SHORT SPORTS

With the football season ended
both Bluffton High and Bluffton
College, local interest now is turning
to basketball and the winters pros
poets. In addition to the high school
and college cage outfits, Bluffton will
have strong independent team
again this season. Play will be
started by all three early in Decem-

Van Vert High played inspired
ball last week to hand undefeated
Celina High its first loss of the sea-
son, 13 to 6. The setback threw the
Western Buckeye league champion
ship race into a three-way tie be-
tween Celina, Van Vert and Belle
fontaine. Celina lost to Van Vert;
Van Vert lost to Bellefontaine and
Bellefontaine was topped by Celina
to make the vicious triangle COM
plete. Van Vert scored both their
touchdowns in the fourth quarter to
come from behind and capture the
decision last Saturday.
Bluffton college will play three
home grid games next year; tangl-
ing with Findlay, Ashland and De-

Coach A. C. Burcky spent plenty
to buy his grid squad nice new uni
forms this fall, and now wishes he
hadn't. Twice last Saturday fleet
Bluffton backs would have been in
the open for sure touchdowns had
their shirts been old enough to tear.
On two occasions they were caught
