straight into amateur encounters

straight through the wall of con-
tenders. Of 81 amateur bouts in
four fighting years, he won 81

Dynamite
Discovered In
Woman's Home

Police We're dubious when Mrs,
Bertha Weaver, 1911 Chester, told
them someone was attempting to
blow up her house. They investi-
gated, however, and found that
someone was trying to blow up
the house and her along with it.
Patrolman Browning stopped by
the house in answer to Mrs. Weav-
er's call. Investigation disclosed
a stick of dynamite, fuse and cap
attached, beneath a sofa in her
home. The conspirator had no
notion Of being caught in the blast
since more than a yard of fuse was
attached to the dynamite.
The explosive, cap and fuse were
taken to police headquarters and
dismantled by Lieutenant Fink.
