with thick. stubby, but powerful
fingers and observed them with
near-sighted care.

Down to a mere 295 pounds and
gradually working himself into
shape for a more intensive mat
career, Lewis refereed the main bout
last night at Turner's and ended
up by throwing Jim Henry when the
latter protested the decision against
him to long, loudly and profanely
to suit the Stranger. The argu-
ment waxed so furious Prof. Turner
intends to pit Henry against the
old master in special match on

The Stranger used what he
termed a light deadlock" in sub

Il didn't really apply no pressure, "
he confided. IF I really squeezed
him he'd feel something like this

gonna hurt YOU"
And with that he pressed this re-
porter's modest 7ls skull slightly out
of shape with a vice-like grip that
had finished the majority of some
5000 opponents. We weakly num-
bled something about a fractured
skull.

reassuringly Il never really frac-
tured anybody's skull with that
hold. It's more like an anaesthetic
than anything else. 1t cuts off the
circulation to the brain and puts 'em
in a coma. I can do the same
thing with two fingers. Lemme
show you"
With that he pinned our neck be-
tween two chubby torefngers until
cur eyes popped and we got the idea.
The Stranger still gets a lot of
fan mail, requests for autographs
and all the adulation due cham
pion of his stature. Around the
dressing room the other boys call
him Mr.. Lewis and in his presence
are like small boys meeting their
hero the first time. They stand at
a distance and gaze respectfully at
his broad-beamed figure, repeating
in awed, subdued tones, "the great
est wrestler that ever lived
Thinks War Will Boom Sport.
Lewis doesn't think the war will
hurt the game, but rather increase
interest. Bill Lewis, the Richmond
promoter, who is directing his south

The Hollywood sporting colony. OF

"Yes," said Mr.. Ruth when in

ture had taken him, Il am going
to Hollywood to play in the Lou

O'Connor Goolrick, from down
Fredericksburg way, with several
companions has bagged 20 ducks
this season. With several good
blinds at hand, that couldn't be
termed good shooting. The bag did
not include a canvasback or a red
head, although many of the former
have been seen in offshore waters.
CanvaSbacks also have stopped
for short periods in the Potomac,
but mild weather will not bring
them in to hunters blinds, and they
fly high.
DR.. Ira N. Gabrielson, director of
the United States Fish and Wild
life Service, estimated there were
more than a million canvasbacks on
the S4Squehanna Flats when the
season opened November / and said
these birds probably were all left of
the species.
During the past week Currituck
Sound must have been taken over by
these Susouehanna birds, for the
RATS were SO large as to be be-
yond computation except by expert
enced observers.
Hunters bags proved they had no
desire to trade along the shore.
Cold weather with snow or heavy
northeast winds will break up the
RATS and give hunters chance to
get at least few of these choice
birds, not only on Currituck, but
also on the Rappahannock, the
Potomac and upper Chesapeake Bay.

BRIDGE WAS IN BAD CONDITION
Repair Work On Union St. Structure Reveals Dan-
 gerOus Condition

Naugatuck, July 23-Warden Leo J. Brophy said today that further examination of the under-structure of the Union street bridge has re- vealed that some of the steel eye beams there have rusted to powder and he believes 1t is fortunate that no accident has occurred at the bridge, SO weak Is part of the under" pinning.
 The planking was replaced on the bridge eight years ago and this Is now rotted, the warden said. The steel has not been painted in a number of years, hesadded.
 The condition of the bridge was first noted when there was small break on part of the top surface and when they took this away to replace 1t, the full condition was seen.
 The bridge is being repaired now, but the warden feels sometime in the not far distant future provi- sion for a new structure there will have to be made. There is no money at present to build an entirely new bridge there.

Lunches are served to some children at the Hop Brook and Central avenue places and these children often spend most of the day there.
 Supt. Chittenden said he does not anticipate that the regular August meeting of the board of education will be held at the usual meeting date, the first Thursday in August. He said he Is in favor of the board meeting the latter part of August, for the delay of the meeting would give more time for any matters per- taining to the school to come to the attention of the department. If a meeting were held early in the month something might occur whicf, would necessitate a meeting lat1 in the month also.
 It is expected the board will have at least one vacancy to fill because of the recent marriage of a teacher
