will have easy sailing against
Alex and if you fight fans wish
to convince yourselves about
the ability of these boxers drop

they are working out some after
noon and you'd think they were

bag, skip the rope, shadow box,
and box. They will fight Is
rounds and the bout will prob
ably 60 all the way to the end.
If the fight ends in a knockout,
Cupiano will not be on the los
ing end.
In the main preliminary of
six rounds, Battling Czech, the
champion of Thomas street and
the colored section of the city,
meets a new and dangerous COM
er in the person of Jack Johnson.
Johnson is the most dangerous
foe to meet Czech as yet and
don't be surprised if the Czech
crown will be lifted Wednesday
night, for this boy Johnson can
hit, box and move around right
smart. He will out-reach Czech
by some few Understand this
counts lot when a good left-hand
jab can be used. This is going
to be fight of plenty action as
Czech does not intend to lose his
prestige il his section.

knows about boxing.
A battle royal will also take
place. Reservations can be

MAIN BOUT AT
STRAND ARENA
CUPIANO AND GONZALEZ
TRAINING HARD TO SHAPE
UP FOR LONG GRIND TO-
MORROW NIGHT
BY OSCAR L. MILAN

Alex Cupiano and Felix Con
zalez, the pair of fighting war
riors who gave the boxing fans
the thrill of a lifetime several
weeks ago in a bang-up scrap,
will square off again at the
Strand Arena Wednesday night
to air their differences for once
and for all.
Gonzalez, hard at work at the
Cuban Club gymnasium each aft
ernoon, shaping up his left-hand
sledge hammer punches on the
sand bag, lives in hopes of put
ting away his opponent. But
this is a hard task to accomplish
by Gonzalez or any other light
weight for this Cupiano can take
it as well as dish it out.
The Puerto Rican scrapper, by
all indications, is taking the
fight seriously enough to dig in
to his pocket to pay sparring
mates. In his workout yesterday
afternoon he put away one col
ored sparring partner and bat
tered three more around the
ring. He is expected to spar
with Jack Hare this afternoon.
Hare is the Navy Iight-heavy-
weight who fought Kid Tarzan
last week.
Gonzalez is doing glove work
with Kid Tarzan, Chino Herman

Cuban Club gym. Felix looks
even better than he did in his
last engagement with Cupiano

St. Lawrence Waterway

President Roosevelt has minated
he will 60 back TO Congress this WIN
ter with renewed demand for money
to develop the ST. Lawrence water
| way. Most Of the money, naturally,
will come from the United States,
though the great river is as much
Canada'S as ours, since it is the COM
mon boundary line for hundreds of
miles. And Canada will be eligible
for Us great benefits as we shall be.
with nothing like SO great financial
stake. Which we would say is good
neighboling with L vengeance
The President said he had hither-
to considered the development desir-
able for the benefits that would ac-
crue from il: now he regards il as eS-
sential to adequate defense. How cs-
sential we are not told, in view Of the
fact that the job will require many
wears for contamination, period
mat in all likelihood will extend far
beyond the end Of the present inter-
national emergency. So that from the
standpoint Of defense it will be avail
able when defense will no longer be
as urgent as now, if indeed urgent
at all.
White rs we understand it the
scheme cuntemplateS 4 vast amount
OF dredging to deepen the channel
form the Great Lakes to the sea, to
make Ii naVlgable far upstream for
ocean traffic. the principal feature of
the project is the WaterpOWer dcvel-
opment involved. That. of course,
would be virtually another iva en-
tcrpri>e and would put the govern
ment deeper into public ownership Of
power facilities. Which probably is
not the least of the motives back of
the whole project. If it be that, why
should we not frankly admit il, call
spade Il spade, and proceed on that
basis. fighting the battle in Congress
under its true colOrS rather than
seize upon Il defense emergency to do
something in which defense is one of
the smallest considerations? !

whose first novel. 1T Was Forever
has just been published by pOrrancc

.enough. the author didn't work on
her book five years. and she didn':
take it out OF trunk in the attic
where it stayed for decade before
it was sold. She dashed off the story
two autumnS ago, decided she hadn I

wrote the whole book twice and
painstakingly before she sent it TO
Dorrance and Company.
Mrs. Gold wrote her book about
North Carolina small town folks.
She ought to know about them. She's
one of them herself. Ever since she
left college, as a newspaper report
er she's been writing about the do
ings of club-minded Carolina towns.
She started out in her native COM
munity of Statesville, when she went
to the editor of the paper there one
day and told him she was going to
do newspaper work and she reckon
ed she'd start there. Much against
the editors better judgment. she did

She still writes articles for her hus-

the Woman's Club and the Parent
Teacher Association. She finds time
to help with the work of the South
ern Presbyterian church in eastern
Carolina, assist with garden club
flower shows and explore the jagged
shoreline of North Carolina.
Most of the action in 1T Was

Capital Gossip
By HENRY AVERILL.

Raleigh, Dec. l0.-Somebody ought
to grow some lespedeza, even if on
ly little, in Dare; because the Lost
Colony'S" county site is now the only
one i'm North Carolina not producing
any at all.
A dozen years ago very few folks
in North Carolina knew there was
such a thing as lespedeza-even
fewer grew it.
Now, says w. T. Wesson, Junior
Statistician of the State Department
Of Agriculture, it is the second Tar
Heel crop in point Of acreage.
Corn is No. l and is grown in all
100 counties.
Last years leSpedeza crop in the
state aggregated 274,000 tons, grown
on 959,460 acreS-a record in both
respects. This represented practical
ly one-fourth the entire hay crop Of
North Carolina and seven per cent
of the total production of the United
States.
Showing the remarkable growth in
leSpedeZa production, WeSson cited
the l930-34 five year average Of 75,-
600 tons and compared it with the
1859 five year average of $4,000
tons. That was moving up no less
than l42 per cent.
In production Of seed leSpedeza the
state accounted for 1872 per cent of
the entire nations output in 1899.
with 26,650000 pounds.
Prospect for this years crop is
still "uncertan", Wesson said. He
added ''the per acre yield will be
considerably less than last year be-
cause of dry weather."
