Gentlemen:
/ am sorry to report the death of
my brother, Walter Smith, who was
an honorary member of the National
Brotherhood of Operative Potters.
His passing June 10 was caused by
a stroke which made it impossible for
me to get to him before he died.
He had worked in Coshocton, Mt.
Clemens, Cambridge, New Castle,
Peoria and many other shops through
out the trade. He was also a men,
Der of the B. R. T. railroad trainmen.
Walt was a generous, big hearted
man as his many friends will remem-
Der. l am the only member of the
family to survive him, his wife having
died two years ago.
Funeral services were held at the
Shaffer Funeral Parlors and the re-
mains buried at Oak Hill cemetery in
the family plot. Rev. Father Seedy
of St. Joseph Catholic Church offici-
ated.
Pail bearers were four members of
L. U. 5 and two trainmen.
He was the fourth Of five brothers
to pass away. Chester, Harris and
Edgar were also we'll known to the
readers of the Herald.
l wish to thank the members of Lo-
cal S, the trainmen, the Gold Medal
Dairy and the many friends who gave
their services and offered their SYM
pathy at the time. Many beautiful
floral pieces were received.
1t is a sad duty for me to write this
letter, but Walt was true brother
and faithful friend, and was known as
such in the trade.

Washington, D. Cat the recent
convention of the United Textile
Workers (AFL) held in this city the
delegates were advised by one of their
brothers that he wanted to see the
delegates smoke only union-made Gig
arettes. Calling attention to the fact
that Raleigh, Kool, and Viceroy Gig
[arettes, manufactured by Brown &
Williamson, were union-made, he
said "if there is anyone here now who
isn't smoking any one of these brands,
see me, have few packages lll give
to YOU" The delegates seemed to feel
the same way as their brother and
without any prodding, because the
tables used by them at all their meet
ings looked like display window of
Raleigh cigarettes.

WekerIis Substituted
For Blair in Main
Bout Tomorrow
Turner Happy to Sign
Greek With Unbeoten
Record in u. S.
BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

Dem Wekerlis, a native of Athens,
Greece, now plying his trade Of
leatherpushing in Boston, will sub
stitute for frankie Blair tomorrow
night in a 10-round bout with Steve
Mamakos, replacing the Camden kid,
who begged of with a plea Of ILL
ness.
Promoter Joe Turner nevertheless
is enthusiastic about the sudden
shift in personnel. which will bring
Wekerlis here instead of Blair.
Il had the Greek in mind be-
fore getting Blair" he explained,
"but was afraud to sign him be-
cause he isn't known around here
and I thought he wouldn't draw
we'll enough. Now I've got to use
him. 1t shows you how the game
goes, but I hope the fans give the
kid a break I've had him secuted
and I understand he's pretty good
boy. If I didn't think he was I
wouldn't put him in with Mamakos.
He should give Steve good fight,
and II he goes over Ill bring him
back for more bouts"
Wekerlis is handled by robust
Johnny Buckley, the astute Gael.
who handled Jack Sharkey's affairs
and also has Young Jack Dempsey
on tomorrow's card. Buckley wired
Turner that Dem has had 20 fights
since landing on these shores to
enter the restaurant business, and
won them all.
Mamakos' weight will bear close
watching on the commission scales
tomorrow afternoon, for Promoter
Joe Turner Is anxious to use him
against a middleweight If he blasts
Wekerlis into submission. Steve has
been accused of being a middle
weight before, but the truth of
the matter is that he never has
weighed over 152 pounds with a
suitcase in both hands. Steve's
value as a welterweight is slowly
diminishing, however, and the only
chance to pull a good gate with
him seems to be in the 150-pound
bracket.
Matchmaker Goldie Ahearn already
is trying to line up heavyweight
bout for July 81. and the parties
mentioned are Bill Boyd, the fight
ing COB, and Steve Dudas. Dudas
has seen his best days, but still
has enough left to make Boyd wary
of him and the sailor hasn't yet
asked for a contract. II he does
sign 1t will be a good match, and
we wouldn't be surprised to see
| Dudas whip him.

apparently sympathetic with the
sport.
This wasn't cricket. but all
the so-called investigation
produced was a fat expense
account for the embryonic
Hawkshaw and headache for
the commission, but 1t did
make story or two.
Other sundry characters drifted
into the picture and faded out again
and the law of supply and demand
maintained nice balance. We had
Henry (Popeye) Irving, who would
take a terrific beating for seven
rounds then chill his opponent in
the eighth. We had Eddie Burl and
Petey Sarron, Billy Strickler, Marty
Gallagher, Young Van, Leroy Dugan
Young Quigley and host of others.
Dugan, no bigger than a minute
personally polled the pudges after
all of his fights and would run over
to the press bench with hot beads of
perspiration cascading down his
chest with the information. Gal
lagher was always referred to as a
leading contender for the heavy
weight crown-an introduction that
brought a pink blush of embar-
rassmant to his Gaelic pan; but
Marty somehow never got mad
enough at the other boys to go real
far.
Resumes Bout After Kayo.
Strickler was kayoed in the first
round of bout at Fort Washing

nent.
Van was the Adonis of Caulifower
lane-a handsome physical specimen
and good drawing card. His two
pulsating jousts' with Henry Irving
will not be forgotten soon, nor his
two knockouts at the hands of the
late Sammy Britt.
Burl was an in-and-outer
who pulled a big upset by
beating Petey SarrOn at Twin
City.
They were all part and parcel OF
colorful group that breathed excite
ment and spat fire. They kept the
fight game going at merry clip
and seldom was there a dull mo-
ment. The new generation is diff
ferent, and not nearly so interesting.
We call 1t sorry lot and bad sit
uation.
In a way we are sorry boxing is
legal in the District because it has
taken an edge off game once
throbbing with life. The current
brand is too tame, too proper and too
drab.
