EZzELL PREPARES
FOR MAT BATTLE
Wrestling Constable To Meet
Harry Larkins At Stadium
On Thursday Night

Despite the fact that there are
two top-notch professional matches
on the card, most speculation here
on the program at Legion stadium
Thursday night centers aroung the
William Henry Ezzell-Harry Lar
kins set-to.
Constable Henry is wanting it
clearly understood that he will be
on hand tomorrow night and is less
worried about the outcome than
a primary election. Ezzell has been
working out for the match at the
Y. M. c. A. daily and says he's
in good shape.
Larkins. a 190-pounder from Ac-
me, is getting in his daily worouts
and promises a speedy victory in
this amateur match that will be
sandwiched between the two pre-
bouts.
In the headliner of the night
Bibber Mccoy, former grid stal
at Holy Cross and a catcher witt
the Detroit Tigers for two years

GIANTS TRIUMPH OVER REDS. "a
GAME IS FIFTH
WIN FOR HUBBELL
Both Teams Collect II Hits;
HubbelPs Single Drives
In Winning Run

CINCINNATI, June 4-(R-The
New York Giants chopped game
off the margin separating first and
third place in the National league
today by nosing out the Cincinnati
Reds 5 to 4 for Carl Hubbells fifth
consecutive victory.
The game Hub pitched today
was a far throw from his one-hit-
ter against the Brooklyn Dodgers
Memorial day, his last time out,
but the II hits he gave were some
what less damaging that the IL
the Giants grouped off three Gin
cinnati hurlers.
New York drove Lloyd (Whitey)
Moore to cover in the first inning
with three runs First the Giants
loaded the bases with a walk and
two singles, then Mel OFT waited
out his 3Oth base on balls of the
season and Babe Young singled for
two other runs.
Milt Shoffner checked the New
Workers until the sixth when Young
singled and Bill Jurges doubled for
another run. In the eighth three
successive singles, the third by
Hubbell himself, sent across what
proved to be the deciding run.
The Reds pushed across a run in
the first and two singles and an
other in the fifth on a single and
Mike Mccormick double and con-
cluded with two runs in the eighth
on a single and Billy Myers first
home run of the season.
The triumph was the Giants
third straight and brought them
within IL games of the leaders

Seifert Elected
The Wolfpack club got bigger
boost Monday when the State alumni
elected D. w. (Dutch) Seifert, Of
Weldon, president of the Greater
Alumni association.
Seifert, who graduated in 1913,
played end on the football team and
was a catcher on the baseball team
He was booming for contributions
from alumni members before his
election and now he is in a better
position to dig up the needed cash
and purchase football players.
The new preXy might be able to
do it, but we doubt it. For in most
cases, the coaching staff gets far
more prospects than he can ever
use and as often as not some boy
who would perhaps be an ALL
American, is cut loose after his
freshman year because the coaches
didn't have enough time to give him
the proper drilling.
Of course, numbers count on foot
ball squads, but good selection OF
players, plus a bit of smart training
is usually worth more. However, the
Wolfpack, victory-hungry for some
years, may again make a comeback.
Be it Polish, German or Dutch re-
cruits.
All Amateurs
The ana teur fight card that will
be offered at Carolina Beach Friday
night is just that-all amateurs. And
some good ones there are in the lot,
as a majority of the fighters ere
tops in the simon.pure ranks of the
state.
Frank Adams and Stancil are two
good scrappers. They've got tn
size. the speed and the stamina, and
that's enough. If Tiny Taylor, the
230-pound Wilmington boy who
marchci through the local Golden
Gloves and the Atlanta tournaments
with ease, comes through, he'll get
d .
bout maybe next week.

Considering xmos
Street Decorations

The city council held their reg
u1ar meeting Tuesday evening at
the city hall. After routine bust
uess had discussed, several
matters OF civic Importance were
brought up.
It was suggested that the street
and alley commissioner, James Har-
ris, consider the idea of placing
small Christmas trees in the flag
holes in the sidewalks on Mineral
avenue and California. This was
brought up with the idea that it
would add greatly to street decora-
tons for Christmas. In the near
future merchants will have lights
placed on the streets and the city
will be aglow as it was last year.
A discussion was held pertaining
to the making OF permanent slid
ing Hill which might be used by
the youngsters of the city. The
place has not yet been selected but
the city will try to find place
where young lives will not be en-.
dangered by automobiles as they
are now. At the present time the
<nly real sliding Hill is at the end
of Utah avenue and detour signs
have been placed there to warn
cars away Glen Leckrone was APP
pointed to place lanterns at these
intersections every evening to warn
cars away.

Moose To Sponsor
White Christmas

The first white Christmas" ever
to be observed in Libby will take
place this year and will be spon-
sored by the Moose lodge with the
aid of the Libby Commercial Club.
The idea is one conceived by +.
j. Barkee who has seen it work in
other towns and says it has met
with a great deal of success.
Tie principle Of the thing is that
the Moose will act as clearing
house for all gifts that citizens wish
to leave there to be distributed to
the poor A committee will be APP
pointed from the members OF the
Moose lodge and will select those
people whom they think are de-
ssryinR
The Moose hall will be open De
cember q and "A at Sis until 8 to
enable donors to leave whatever
they may choose. All types Of
foods or clothing will be very well
come. Packages should be wrapped
in nothing but white paper which is
part of the idea of the White Christ
mas.
A large white cross will be erect
ed in front of the Moose hall to re-
mind all passersby of the cause
This part Of the program will be
taken care of this weekend.
Gleason Pitcher, secretary Of the
Moose, stated that anyone wishing
to leave names Of deserving persons
with the committee may send the
names to him. He will see that they
reach the proper hands.
1t is hoped that all citizens viii
cooperate in this new venture anc
give it every support possible fol

Saws Invention
Will Solve All
PIone Troubles

GREAT FALLS, Dec. 3.--W.P)-
Glenn S. Berg of Fortine, a tiny
western Montana town near the
Canadian border, claimed today to
have invented method of propell-
ing airplanes so they can 60 tor
ward, backward, up, down, and
travel in water at great speed.
Berg, who said the versatile air
plane device was his fourth inven-
ton, already has offered 1t to the
government for use in national de-
tense.
The Montana inventor said he
wanted to get in touch with Fred
erick Kurt Kristen, who has patent
ed a cycloidal drive now in use or
ships and which Kristen hoped tc
adapt to air travel.
Last spring." Berg said, i STUN

Berg said he believes national Sc
curity is more important than mon
ey. and so had offered his invention
to the government for nothing.
The inventor said he would like
to work with Kristen and suggested
that perhaps Mr.. Kristen would be
willing to turn his ideas over to
Uncle Sam and we could work out
the best points Of both our ideas.
Berg added that he intended to
ask Sen. B. X. Wheeler of Mon

ing that in times of national crisis

may use any patented or unpatentc
