Then he remembered-a man he

For no particular reason, except
that he had visions of a dull eve

Duke-Tennessee Game
Is Complete Selout

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 21.-
R-A lot of football fans have been
sitting on their hands when they
should have had them distended,
palm up and decorated with the
currency of the realm and directed
toward the athletic association
of tie University Of Tennessee.
Come OCTOBER S - a fortnight
hence-these fellows will spend the
afternoon regretting their laggard
reflexes instead of being witnesses
of the No. 1 football spectacle OF
the day, the meeting of Tennes-
sees Volunteers and Dukes Blue
Devils on Shields Watkins field.
The S. r. O. sign was hung out
side the A. A. office several weeks
ago by Mrs. Edna Galloway, the
amiable young lady who divides
her time between secretary-ing for
Major Bob Neyland, Vol coach,
and looking after the valuable
pasteboards.
We're sold out, completely, and
we're not fooling," declared Mrs.
Galloway, who went on to report
that "at least $40, 00O-and that's
conservative - has been turned
back to football fans who were too
late in applying for Duke tickets"
- The stadium will seat at least
3 5000.
"We're trying to arrange t o r
some new bleachers d some
standing room," continued Mrs
Galloway. 1--WE might be able to
crowd another 1000 in but it will
be a JAM"

ring a last-minute form reversal, big
Joe DiMaggio will wind up the
American league season with his
second straight batting title and
Hank Greenberg will sweep the
smuggling honors.
Both are riding high after a slow
start. DiMaggio, the Yankee ace,
displaced Rip Radcliff of st. Louis,
leader most of the season, the past
week by boosting his average 10
points to .351, through games OF
Friday. Joe got u hits in 81 times
at bat.
Radcliff gained two points and
now rates second at .346. one point
ahead of Chicago's Luke Appling.
Greenberg, Detroit powerhouse, is
fourth with a .341 mark.
But this climb into fourth place
is the least of Hanks recent feats.
He banged out seven homers dur
ing the week, giving him the lead
with 80 and Hank retained his
doubles supremacy, getting n for
a total of 40. Greenberg overlook
Ted Williams of Boston in runs

Restrained By Judge

, SMITHFIELD, Spe.t 21- Up -
Judge Henry A. Grady Of Clinton
signed today a temporary order re-
straining Holton Wallace, chairman
of the Alcoholic Beverage Control
board, from closing the county liq-
uor stores the last Of September.
A majority voted in a recent
referendum to close the stores.
The order was granted to a group
of farmers represented by Paul D.
Grady of Kenly. They contend
that the referendum was illegal in
that it was called 20 days before
the expiration of three years fol-
lowing the election that established
the stores, and that the referend-
um was called within less than 30
days of another election, namely,
the primary.
The order was returnable before

IRISH PAT VS.. MAX
IS YOUTH vs.. AGE
Youngster Has Plenty OF
Power But Madcap Baer
Knows Answers
BY SID FEEDER

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 21.-R-
Not since tired old Jim Braddock
gave up the ghost to Joe Louis has
the youth against age question been
50 marked in a heavyweight bout
as in next Thursdays fight be-
tween Max Baer and Irish Pat
Comiskey.
Admittedly, the Patterson young
ster has enough punch to put any
one to sleep and is the best heavy.
weight prospect today. But o d
Make, although in his gymnasium
workouts he gives all the appear
ance of a tired warhorse, knows a
lot of the answers Pat doesn't.
And the betting men, who have
made him favorite at 5 to Z to
score the second straight win In
his comeback campaign to no
where-figure this little detail is
going to spell the difference.
Speaking of comebacks, Make
isn't the only one hitting the road.
Jack Kearns, the good doctor who
was back of Jack Dempsey and
Mickey Walker, popped up here
several weeks ago with this fight
as the particular fly in his bon
net. They laughed when he sat
down to tell about it-they laughed
until he dropped $50, 900 in cash IN
Baer's lap to meet Makes de-
mands for a guarantee. Then he
had the match.
No one seems sure as to whether
this fight can be a financial as
well as an artistic success. Up to
now, there has been about $751; Oo
actual advance sale and some $l0,-
900 more in orders. AS a result,
the good doctor figures he'll have
some 500, 600 and some $4,000 pay
ing customers in the local ball
park Thursday night. .
This particular fight doesn't
mean much to madcap Make, be-
cause the one-time champion OF
the playboys has settled down to a
quiet family life now and Mrs.
Make has just about convinced
him it's time he hung up the gloves
for good. In fact, the word is she
laid down the law to him after ne
stopped fat Tony Galento a couple
of months ago in this same ball
park, and only gave her consent
to this match because $50, 900 "ain't
hay"
Even should Max win Thursday,
the chances are it will be the
"kid's last fight" Because, If he
finishes in front this time, they're
going to start talking Joe Louis to
him again, and this kind of talk is
about as pleasant to Make as word
that every night club in town has
closed up Indefinitely.
For Comiskey, who won't be 20
years old until next month, this
may be either the best match pos
sible-or the worst. If he can
knock off Max, he's right up there,
ready to take the next step in his
campaign to meet Louis next sum-
mer. If Max should give him a
thorough going overland this all
depends on Baer's mental attitude
going into the ring-it might do
Pat considerable harm.
