Mann said the meanest and smart

Finally the dog came close enough
to suit the snake and her head shot
out and fastened itself to the side
Of the dogs neck. The dog was dead
in less than an hour"
Mann said he had also seen q
rattler kill buzzard that had caught
it. "They clung together and struggled
for some time" he said, 'and then
they both died. / couldn't figure out
what killed the snake unless it Bit

Mann has been bitten hundreds Of
times by such non-poisonous reptiles
as blacksnakes. coach ~hips, garter
snakes, green snakes, chicken snakes

water snakes. He catches water

Bum has been installed a 7-5
favorite to take the hard-hitting
MILAN who is fresh from q con-
vincing victory over New York S
Johnny (Honey Boy) Williams.
Bum was involved in an un-
usual incident last week in Hart
ford, Conn. He went 10 rounds
with Johnny Cesario and evidently
led all the way. But the referee
added his scores incorrectly and
enormously awarded the bout to
Cesario, a 81 favorite at bell
time. The error was detected,
however, and the Commission
changed the ruling to a draw.
Bum knocked out Aaron Perry
in the 10th round a few weeks ago
and since f1attened Carey Mace
of Hartford, a stablemate OF
Willie Pep. It was Pep who en-
gineered the Cesario fight. Ce-
sario also is from Pops stable.

has lined up Herbie (BifD Jones

The Bulldogs have the dubious
distinction of being the only pro

season but Coach Charley Ewart
says his men are at their peak
for this one. The team has a
shortage of halfbacks and Ewart
may meet the emergency by shift
ing Quarterback Bobby Layne to
the position and moving Johnny
Rauch into the signal-calling post.
Layne's passes were not effective
against the Redskins in their first
game and he doesn't run the ball
too well. Bauch does both better
than average.
