Kirk basketball fortunes are on
the upgrade. The Demon cagers
made an auspicious debut in their

trouncing the Lions, 1852, Coach
Bill Lange's proteges took an early
lead and remained out in front
throughout the contest with Right
Guard Bill Whitacre pacing the at
tack with Is points.
Kirk had 10-5 lead at the end
of the first quarter and increased
their margin to 1910 at halftime.
The Demons were on top 1920
when the third stanza ended and
really opened up in the final per-
iod when they poured in II points.
The Orange and Black hoopsters
will invade Collinwood tomorrow
afternoon in neighborhood battle
and next Tuesday will visit Pat
rick Henry for their third game
of the young season. The Terrace
Road athletes will return to their

The snow storm not only worked
havoc with mail deliveries last
week, but is creating problem in
Christmas deliveries as well, re-
ports Mr.. Sharpe. A goodly num-
Der of extras, college boys who
would normally be home on vaca-
ton, will now be available since
classes will extend nearer to
Christmas in many schools because
of the enforced snow holiday. How
ever, Mr.. Sharpe is making every
effort to keep the mail moving.
Supt. Sharp offers a valuable
service, too. His staff will supply
zone numbers to any one mailing
in their long Christmas list. Please
enclose self addressed and stamped
envelope for return of list. This,
Of course, should be done PDQ.

Cleveland Mail Only"
Follow these rules for your
Christmas mailing and your pack
ages and cards will go through
promptly and in good condition.
This is the plea made today by
A. j. Sharpe, superintendent of
East Cleveland Post Office to avoid
that last minute rush and conse-
quent delay in your Christmas
mailing and delivery.
Deadlines are announced as fol-
lows:
Parcel Post: Should be on its
way now; Local Cards by Decem-
ber 18th. Foreign Cards by De-
cember 10th.
There will be no card or first
class mail deliveries December
23rd, oath or 25th this year. How
ever, packages will be delivered
right up through Christmas Eve
says Mr.. Sharpe, who assures East
Clevelanders that every effort will
be made to get the packages de-
livered in time to get into the
stocking or under the tree.
At present plans also call for
keeping the Post Office open on
Sundays, December 18th from
1880 to $50 p. m. with all win
dow service except money orders,
postal savings and bonds. Full
Saturday schedules will be OBJ
served.
Mr.. Sharpe urges everyone to
get in their supply of Christmas
card stamps now. 1t will mean so
much to everyone to have the
stamps ready to attach to the en-
velopes and cards when they are
addressed. Tie cards of more than
10 in bundles and where a number
go to the same town, tie these to-

Exchange To
Sponsor F
Basketball

The East Cleveland Exchange
has announced that they will
again sponsor a Class F Basket
ball League this season with the
games to be played at Shaw Gym
on Saturday afternoons. 1t is hoped
that the response this year by the
boys in the 1914 age bracket will
be even greater than last season
when 62 boys participated in the
6-team circuit.
The teams will again be coached
by members of the Shaw varsity
basketball squad and jerseys will
again be furnished to all boys who
participate.
Originally, plans called for the
League to get underway before the
Christmas vacation period but the
"big snow" disrupted the plans
somewhat so that league play will
now start on Saturday, January 6.
However, an organizational meet
ing and clinic will be held in Shaw
gym on Saturday afternoon, Dec
ember 16 at $3.50 p. m. In the mean
time, East Cleveland boys who are
eligible and interested partici-
pating, as we'll as boys who live in
neighboring communities, are
asked to give some thought to the
formation of League teams.
The League will be made up OF
either six or eight teams depend
ing upon the number of boys who
sign up for this worthwhile pro-
ject and two rounds will be played
with the winner of each round
meeting for the League Champion
ship. So, come on boys, spread the
word around and plan to attend
the Class F meeting at Shaw Gym,
on December 10th. It's lots of fun
and it will give you an opportunity
to put your time to good use on
Saturday afternoons. Get your bud
dies together and let's be there.

Watch Your Step
Don't Let Death
Take Your Holiday

H. S. Weaver, Chief Of Police
today urged motorists and pedes-
trians to drive and walk safely
during December.
"This is not. an idle request"
he emphasized. "Traffic accidents
are usually high in December be-
cause of seasonal hazards result
ing from reduced visibility due to
earlier and longer periods of dark
ness and from inadequate traction
due to bad winter weather, ice and
snow"
These safety tips were offered
for those who must drive in bad
weather and on wet or icy pave
ments:
% Be alert and drive at lower
speeds.
(2) Keep a greater distance be-
tween your car and other
vehicles.
(3) Apply your brakes gently
rather than Jammlng them
on.
(4) Keep your windshield and
windows clear.
90 Don't drive after drinking.
"Don't Let Death Take Your
Holiday" Chief Weaver said, "can
be more than just slogan. 1t can
be grim reality for the drinking
careless or speeding driver!"
He also warned pedestrians to be
especially alert, to wear or carry
something white so that motorists
will be more likely to see them,
and to avoid carrying so many
Christmas packages that they cant
see over them,

'Heofner, Cooper Tie for Lead
In Eastern Open With 200
By George Huber
Star Sioff Correspondent

BALTIMORE. Aug. 19.-Pete
Cooper of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla,
came from 3 strokes off the pace
today and shot a 3-under-par to
tie Clayton Heafner, Charlotte.
N. c., for first place at the three
quarter mark in the $16,500 East
ern Open Golf Championship.
Both had 209 totals, 7 under par,
at the end Of 81 holes.
The mild-mannered Cooper had
nine holes of "a and 35 today over
the long Mount Pleasant public
course. while Heafner, who set a
course record of IS the first day,
turned in his second consecutive
70. He went out in 81 and back
in 35.
Jimmy Clark, Huntington Beach,
Calf, who entered today's play
tied with Heafner, fell back with
a II and a 10th place tie at 214.
Even more of a blowup was the
78 fired by Henry Ransom of Saint
Andrews. III. 1t drove, him back
from tie for third into tie for
18th with ZIG.
Fazio Back in Form.
Within shouting distance of a
good money spot was Woodmont's
George Fazio. He continued his
return to top form with another
10 today for 217 and 23d place.
Except for his opening day n
he'd be much higher, and right
now looks good for piece of
the $4,000 which will be split
rs ways at the end of tomorrow's
final 18 holes.
The big move upward today was
made by Lloyd Mangrum of Niles,
Ill. His 81 was the days best
score and lifted him from 18th
into a tie for third at 210, a
stroke off the pace, with Freddie
Haas, jr., of Claremont, Calf

up with II today.

CLEVELAND, Aug. 19.-Early
Wynn finally pitched his first
shutout of the season for Cleve-
land today. He trimmed the White
Sox, 10, with the help of Luke
Casters home run.
Four other times Wynn had
shutouts going into the ninth. but
each time they were spoiled for
him.
Today he gave up only three
hits. two of them to the infield.
In fact, only three balls were hit
out of the inf1eld of Wynn. two
of them being outfield flies caught
by Thurman Tucker in center
field. The other was a fifth inning
pop double to left by Chico Car
rasquel.
1t was Wynn's 14th victory.
Cleveland collected 10 hits off
Ken Holcombe, including doubles
by Dale Mitchell, Bob Kennedy
Wynn and Ray Boone, but it was
not until the eighth inning that

Is feet but missed the putt and
took a bogey 5.
Otherwise he was approaching
