Fire Monday morning destroyed
three houses on Northeast Second

because they were owned by Will

occupied by Wilbur Tunnell, Lyn-

The fire started in the Tunnel
home from an exploding stove in
the kitchen, and spread rapidly
through the three connected build
ings which were covered with COM
position roof and siding. This pre-
vented the fire from becoming
larger, but sent up dense columns
of smoke which attracted a crowd
The Carlisle Fire Company had
the fire under control in a half
hour, and succeeded in saving the
Tabernacle of God church, located
about 10 feet in the rear of the
Tunnel home, with little damage

Jimmy Cooper thinks the addi-

fight against Leo lie Brun is sched-
uled tomorrow will make q differ
ence III his favor. They will battle
for 10 rounds in the Turner'S Arena
main event. In their first meeting
of eight stanZas LIE Brun won the
decision.
Cooper's handlers claim that their
boy just was getting warmed up
when the 8-rounder ended. Cooper
took the late rounds, but not by
enough margin to make up for LIE
Bruins early edge. The balloting was
close.
A win in the usual Cooper style
tomorrow night will re-establish the
local colored buzzsaw bantamweight
as top drawing card here and
guarantee him some attractive fu-
ture bouts. Matchmaker Gabe
Menendez talks of bringing Willie
Pep, the former featherweight cham
pion, here for big fight early next
year and Cooper, If he wins to-
morrow, might be prime candi-
date for the spot opposite Pep.
Cooper will be in q familiar role
tomorrow because when previously
rematched against men who had
beaten him he has won. One of his
early fights was q draw against
Puggy King, but he chilled King in
the return. Later he lost to Joey
Kay, and also stopped Kay in the
return.

It was an oddly interesting game

three pass interceptions turned into

The teachers were hard pressed
to exc out TO advantage in the

though determined to finish its sea-
son with a victory. A 10-yard punt
by Joe Maiuri-who wound up with
46-yard average for the day-paved
the way for the six-pointer, giving
Lock Haven the ball on C. us 81

yards to Bob Snaith for the touch
down.
