copying what he had seen.
Henry Armstrong has a style all
his own, they say. Nobody else
fights like Armstrong. Well, no.
body fights like Armstrong now, but
somebody did once. Armstrong
copied the style from a little fellow
named Davy Abad. who was just
pretty good featherweight a few
years ago and now is running a fight

Abad was boxing Benny Bass out
there. Armstrong even then wanted
to be fighter and had had a few
amateur bouts and this night he
and a couple of other kids sneaked
in to see the fight. Abad won and
made a terrific impression on Henry.
From there on, he was Henrys hero.

Huss and eight players motored
to Chinook where they dropped
a heart-breaking game by the
score of 20 to 13.
1t was anybody s ball game up

the teams were tied again IL to

ing lost its shooting eye and
were unable to stand the blister
ing pace set by the Sugarbeeters.
Browning must have been
playing good ball because the
score here when the Sugarbeet-
ers played was "a to 8 in Chi
nook 3 favor, so taking compare
tive scores into consideration
Browning put up a good fight.

Schmitz of Choteau starting the
scoring and Scott his teammate
adding another tally a few sec
onds later. Higgins had two free

On last Sunday basketball fans
were treated to a good ball game
when the Lethbridge Aces, the
hashy Canadian team. tangled
with the local stars, the Brown
ing Lions.
The first quarter was all Leth-
bridge with them getting off to
a nice lead on a couple of set up
and short shots. In the second
stanza the Lions started to show
their stuff and they were able TO
garner few points although the
Aces made a few counters them
selves In the third and the last
canto Bill Kennedy kept Brown
log in the running with his
beautiful long shots from out in
the middle of the floor. Towards
the end of the third quarter
Magee, the Lions pivot man, was
elected from the game via the
personal foul route. In this stage
of the game browning was be-
hind Ii to 80. In the last quarter
Lethbridge only made , points
compared to the Lions 9 points
and the game ended "a to Is in
the Aces favor.
Although Browning was beaten
they kept Lethbridge worried all
the time. The Lethbridge Aces
presented a good defense which
was hard to penetrate and fast
break which netted them many
of their points and their close
guarding made Browning hurry
many of their shots.
The Browning Lions, paced by
the services of elongated Merle
Magee at center, who made seven
teen points. edged out victory
over the Wolf Point Independent
team 80 to - last Monday night
at the H S. gym.

time they also led ii to Is. In
the third quarter the Lions fail
ed to hit the hoop consistently
and they were behind Is to 20 at

Paroles Given 500
Checked in Probe
OF Prison Racket
Second Method of
Fleeing Prisoners
Is Revealed
BY the Associated Press.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April g.
Tennessee officials, amazed over
story of how prison inmates
bought" their way to freedom
through link eradicator" changes in
the record files, today began a case
history check of 500 paroled con-
victs.
I'VE don't know how many pris-
oners have been given their freedom
or paroles on altered prison records"
Acting Warden Glenn Swafford
said, but we have found a large
number and probably will find lot
more before the check is COM
pleted."
Mr.. Swafford also disclosed an
other prison racket" he said would
be investigated. Certain TRUSTEES,
he said, who learned the parole
board had acted favorably upon
petition. would 60 to the prisoner
due to be released and promise him
his freedom on parole for a speci-
fled amount Of money.
Discovery Explained.
Explaining how he discovered the
fraudulent fixing" of official re-
cords, Mr.. Swafford said he received
a letter in March from the clerks
office telling me that a certain pris-
oner was to go out on March %.
1T seemed to me that the date
set out was wrong, 80 l checked 1t
against other records and 1 found
that the prisoner was not due to 60
out until 1910.
Il then discovered that an ink
eradicator which left no trace had
been used in changing dates on the
records. I also learned that pris-
oners paid from $40 to $50 to pro-
cure alterations of their records"
Must Finish Terms.
A civilian and several TRUSTEES
have access to the records, the act
ing warden said. adding that he had
not determined as yet who Is re-
sponsible.

new German troop movements
toward Poland.
Mr.. Hull, at his press conference.
said he had no advices of such
movements, however.
Kellogg Pact Violated.
The Secretary indicated belief.
without expressing a definite opin-
ion, that Italy had violated the Kel-
logg anti-war pact, signed both by
Italy and Albania. He referred a
questioner at his press conference
to the phrase "forcible and violent
invasion" at the outset of his state
ment.
Mr.. Hull indicated further that an
arms embargo against Italy, under
the Neutrality Act, was under dis
cussion by this Governments off,
cials, but said such a move had not
been considered officially at length
thus far.
The United States not long ago
condemned the use of force after
recent crises resulting from action
of Italy's totalitarian ally, Germany.
The United States is in a better
legal position to protest Italy's action
than are Britain and France. Those
nations, along with Italy and Japan,
signed declaration reached by a
council Of their Ambassadors in
Paris in 1921, recognizing that the
violation of Almania's frontiers
would constitute a menace for the
strategical security of Italy,"
Action Delayed.
The United States withdrew from
the Council some months before the
declaration was made, however, and
therefore, is not in the same position
as Britain and France of agreeing tc
1taly's special interests in Albania.
Officials were inclined to regard
the Italo-Albanian trouble as less
likely to lead to a major war than
either the Munich or the later
Czecho-Slovakian crisis.
Secretary Hull conferred yester-
day with Faik Konitza, who consid-
cred his service here as Albanian
Minister at an end. Mr.. Konitza
said he would burn his official re-
cords rather than turn them over to
Italian officials, unless King Zoe
ordered otherwise. He said King
Zog would died fighting rather than
yield, and added:
II and many other Albanian intel
lectuals have dreamt of close cul-
tural, economic and political CO.
operation with Italy on an honor
able basis. The elegant answer Is q
punch on our head"
