BUNS and CUBS

Memphis Bill Rumored To
Be Dickering With
Both Clubs

| ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12.-Behind
the scenes in the World Series
show, there was quite a bit of
action indicating that William Har-
old DIETER known as plain Bid
Terry will be back in baseball as
a manager in 1914.
Just where the one-time boss of
the New York Giants will land
isn't quite definite yet, but the
likely choice seems to lie between
the Chicago Cubs and Brooklyn
Dodgers. The latter offers inter-
esting possibilities because it was
Sweet William who once wanted
to know SIS Brooklyn still in the
National league?" That was back
in "a, and when the shooting was
over, the Dodgers had dumped
Bills Giants out of pennant.
Bills been down ON the farm
for a year now and apparently is
getting the old urge for the dia-
mond in. He was at the Sc
ries as a sports writer, but it is
known that he saw more than
little bit of powers that be in both
the Brooklyn and Chicago organi-
cations.
In the New York half Of the
series. he was to have "chinned"
with Phil Wrigley. president of the
Cubs, but Phil didn't get OMAN
haitian. However, in the st. Louis
end of the set, he had quite a
chat with Jim Gala CHER, the Cubs
general manager. and the assump-
ton is they talked about more
than Bills cattle and crops.
Apparently the Cubs have about
given Up on Jimmy Wilson as their
pilot although no one is saying a
word about it now, because jim

However, although President

WILDCATS WORK
FOR C0LDSB0R0
Locals Out To Curb Strong
Aerial Attack OF
Earthquakes

The New Hanover School Wild
cats returned to heavy work Tues
day afternoon in preparation for
their tilt with the Goldsboro Earth
quakes on October IS. The Cats
rested Monday after hard-fought
1912 tie with the strong Rocky
Mount Blackbirds on Friday.
Emerging from the Blackbirds
encounter with no serious injuries,
the locals are apparently in fine
condition for their coming game.
Fullback Piggy Dyches, the lead
ing ground gamer in the Wildcat
backfield, is suffering slight arm
injury sustained in the Rocky
Mount affray, but is expected to
be in top form from the Quake tiff.
A large portion of Tuesdays
practice session was devoted to
pass defense as the Goldsboro elev-
en- is reported to have brilliant
aerial attack. The remainder of the
time was spent polishing up the
ground plays which have worked
well this year. The huge, rugged
line Of the Cats drilled heavily On
their blocking assignments endeav-
oring to obtain the vital downfield
blocking needed to shake loose the
Wildcat ball carriers.
Bill Aud, injured quarterback
of the Hanoverians, took part in
passing drill, although unable to
enter into heavy work. His deadly
accurate heaves promised addition
al diversity to Wildcat attack when
he is able to play.

BIG TH(JNDERBIRD
WILL MEET DUNN
Blassie Reported To Be
Meanest Thing To Hit
Town In Long Time

Chief Thunderbird, big Canadian
Indian from the western province
of British Columbia, is no new
conner to the Wilmington mat fans
as he has battled several times
in ITALIAN Hall this year.
Despite his familiar face ane
type of fighting, Thunderbird has
proven very popular with the fans
and he has quickly learned to
meet the rough and tumble crap
pies which are usually pitted
against him in his appearances
here.
The Indian will have need of
all his skill and Drawn this Fri
day night as Promoter Bert Caus-
ey has matched him with the
toughest and meanest wrestler to
be brought here in several years.
One Fred Dunn is his name
and he brings a new style to the
ITALIAN mat.
Where most matmen, even
though rough and tough, will show
some mercy on their opponents
when they are easily on the top,
Dunn delights in jumping on a fell
low when he is down and in do
ing little things to make him bite
the dust.
Dunn is mean and there's no
other word in the dictionary
which will describe him. If he
doesn't prove to be the most I'm
popular wrestler ever brought to
Wilmington, Promoter Causey will
miss his guess.
The public is invited to see him

ing country after day-long fight.
About 1900 Germans were killed
in this latter struggle, which de-
veloped into numerous h d-to-
hand engagements, the commune
que said.
In still another sector of this
battle front the Germans accom-
plished a breakthrough W h II
tanks, but Red artillerymen oper-
ating with infantrymen disabled or
destroyed the tanks in a half hour,
lit was reported.
Approximately a battalion Of
German infantry was reported
wiped out by Red units in the
Vitebsk area to the north.
The Germans did not expand on
their report Of the opening OF the
new Russian drive north of Kiev.
The Soviet daily operational COM
munique, recorded by the Soviet
monitor, said the Red army con-
tinued to widen the areas it is
winning back on the west bank Of
the middle Dnieper, where it is
closing in relentlessly on the Tx
rainian capital Of Kiev.
Moscow reported also that sew
eral populated places fell to the
Russians in a continuing offensive
against Vitebsk, where they were
last reported about a score of
miles away from their objective.
The communicates only indica-
ton of the ferocity of the fighting
was the statement that so Ger
man tanks wera destroyed or dis
abled on all fronts on Monday
alone, and u Nazi planes brought
down. Dispatches to the Moscow
press, however, filled in details.
With Russian troops alraedy in
the suburbs of Gomel and with
some units already across the Sozh
river, the Soviet press said the
Red army was lined up in force
along the entire 1OO-nile long east
bank of the river for a great as
sault across it. These forces were
described as threatening Kiev from
the north.
Soviet press dispatches said the
Red army had worked its way
many miles west of the Dniepar
above and below Kiev despite in
creasingly stiff German counter
attacks.
Aerial battles over the Dniepcr
were described as almost inces-
SAINT, with the Russians now en-
joying the initiative on nearly all
sectors and with the Nazi i r
force undergoing a crisis. The So
Wet army newspaper R ed Star
said the Germans now were on
general aerial defensive.
Berlin, after reporting "a new
center of fighting has formed in
the area north of Kiev," added
but few DEATHS. Heavy Soviet at
tacks have been taking place there
since Monday said the Trans
ocean News Agency in broad
cast covering developments up to
this noon.
The broadcast added that all
that was known in Berlin was that
heavy fighting was still in pro-
gress."
Berlin made it equally clear that
fighting in the Gomel area to the
north was on a huge scale. One
Nazi military commentator, Col.
Ernst Won Hammer, said the Ger
mans had succeeded in throw
ing back strong Soviet forces east
ward across the Sozh river"
On this front, said the common
tator, the Russians left behind five
152 millimeter (6-inch) ssa III Il
guns - unusually large mobile
weapons.
North of Gomel Berlin said in
another broadcast, the Germans
wiped out three Russian bridge
heads and destroyed two emer-
gency bridges the Russians h d
built across the Sozh.
