Each pitcher gave up six hits,

and went to third on Stanley Mus

eth when Musial led off with a
single and went to third on Dan

Dog owners who are assum-

that owners of dogs purchase

Police Chief c. H. Casteen

people are keeping their dogs
locked up during the day and
letting them roam the streets
at night, with the apparent as
sumption that the city's dog
catcher observes the usual
working day by leaving his job
at S pm.
Casteen said, however, that
any dog seen at night without
badge would be held and its
owner prosecuted.

Wrestling Show Billed
At ITALIAN Hall Tonight

A bout between Irish Jack Kelly
and Chief Little Beaver will head
line the wrestling show at the Tha-
liam Hall starting at $3.50 tonight.
Another topflignt battle scheduled
fer the ITALIAN mat is tiff be-
tween George Hill and Wa1ly
Grebb.
Promoter Bert Caueey predicts
that both scraps should offer the
graphing patrons some stellar
wrestling entertainment. Irish Jack
appeared here for the first time
last Friday and made quite an i'm
preston with the fans. His clean,
scientific type of attack met with
the whole-hearted favor of the
spectators, as the mat faithful have
witnessed some pretty rough char
acters in the local ring at times,
and Kelly's performance came as
a refreshing touch to the b o n e
bending card.
The Gregg Hill tilt is a grudge
bout, as Hill offended Grebb while
officiating at the Hall several
weeks ago. Since then the men
have had several disputes, so Pro-
rcoter Causey has arranged for the
two to battle it out with an au-
dience.
Tickets for the show are now on
