Magnusen MangIed By Cribbage Fates

The fates were unkind to Fie Chief George Magnuser Tuesday night.
 Chief George won the first Kodiak cribbage championship held at the Commun y Center more than a year ago. He held the championship l month and has been trying to regain it ever since. It looked as though his big moment again had come in the September tourney-but he couldn't lick fate
 Rowing only to the defending champion, Mrs. J. R. Malutin, in the second round, George breezed through all opposition till the final moments of play. He was ahead of the field and need- ed but one more win to clinch the championship when he ran up against Ken Wade in the last round The latter is a run of the null cribbage player who loses as often as he wins. A bit over-coD fdent, MagnuseR eased up, took a chance and found Wade peg ging twelve points as he laid down the fourth three-spot in a row Magnusen died n the "stink. hole" to lose the game that would have gwen him the title.
 Meanwhile a husband and wife combination, Marian and Carl Sautner, finished the string with six wins and two losses apiece to gain a tie with Magnusen and necessitate 8 playoff.
 Mrs. Sautner drew the bye and her husband proceeded to break MagnuseR's heart by pull ing a A hand out of the bag with first count and 16 to go whlle George found himself holding a IA hand and dozen crib which he couldn't use because it was too late.
 Husband and wife played for the title while the fire chief went home talking to himself. Mrs. Sautner swemped hubby to win her third championship in the last 6 months.

Americana
Spoonerisrns
By Elmo Scott Watson

nNE day in the early part Of the
~ Nineteeth century members of the
New York legislature in session at AL.
bany were listening sleepily to a long
winded orator who was droning on and
on In support of some piece of leglsla-
ton. Suddenly an excited messenger
burst into the chamber.
Sister meeker," he cried, "and lem
bers Of the megislature Circular sing
cumstance! The Eliver olsworth's billed
her buster"
When he calmed down enough to re-
peat what he had said, "Mr. Speaker
and the members OF the legislature"
learned that the "Oliver Ellsworth"
had busted her boilers" that is to
say, a steamer by that name had
blown up In the Hudson river.
Perhaps this excited messenger had
never heard OF Rev. w. A. Spooner,
warden OF New college, Oxford. Eng
land, but the fact is that he was CIV
Ing a splended example of the use OF
"SpOOnerisms." Reverend Spooner had
the nervous habit Of transposing the first
letters of two words In the same
phrase. Once he prayed In public for
"our queer dean" instead Of "our dear
queen" Once he said he cherished a
"half-warmed fish" in his heart when
he wanted to say "half.formed wish"
And again, after performing wedding
ceremony in distant part of England,
he inquired anxionsly If it were kiss
tomary to cuss the bride"
So his name has been perpetuated
In the name for such oddities in speech
they're "spoonerisms." And in re-
cent years Americans have become
more familiar with them than ever be-
fore, thanks to radio comedian named
Oy Ratw,ll-I mean, Roy Atwilli

For nearly two decades, the
Texas Tomboy," now 80, has
been a top performer in many
branches of sports. She took to
golf after reaching the heights
in track and field, virtually
sweeping the national cham
pionships in Chicago in 1892.
In the same year she dominated
the Olympic Games, in which
she set a javelin record with a
toss of 143 feet, 4 inches.
In 1888 she practically was
forced to turn professional be-
cause of a misunderstanding
with the Amateur Athletic
Union over an automobile ad-
vertisement that included her
name. Four years later she re-
gained her amateur status.
Then, in 1885 she was ruled in
eligible by the U. s. G. A. be-
cause of her professionalism in
other sports and she announced
she was turning pro in golf. She
regained her amateur rating in
1914 and since her return has
enjoyed almost uninterrupted
success, climaxed by her string
of II consecutive tournament
victories.
She said she would compete as
scheduled in a charity match at
Cleveland next Sunday and the
following week at Columbus.
After that she will go to Holly
wood to complete arrangements
for 10 golf shorts.

of Justification, added that she

BY fhs Assoeiotsd Press

abdication Of defending Champion

who was lured into professional golf
by a 100000 movie offer, turned
preparations for the l947 Women's
National Amateur Championship at

of the No. attraction would do to

While fan interest unquestionably
took nose-dive, competitive in
