BY PAUL DITZEi

LOS ANGELES R-Fire which
flashed swiftly in 6-floor Skid

was open"
One of the occupants of BIZ,
identified by police as A. d. Bern
hardt, fell or jumped to his death
in an alley. The other occupant,
Emil Mongee, was in hospital
with critical burns. Until they
could question him, fire depart
ment arson investigators said they
had no idea how the blaze started.
Whitehouse said the two men
checked in about 1880 a. m.
Fire Capt. Claude Conlan said
a check showed that the hotels
second floor fire hose was SO rotted
u was not disable, and a weight
balanced fire escape ladder at the
rear, leading from the second floor
10 the ground, was wired up.
Asked about this, Manager Floyd
Porter, So, told a reporter:
II don't know anything about it..
I've only been manager for a
month. Besides, that's the fire de-
partment's business. !"
The hotel is just off Main Street,

transients.

all suffocated.

dazed.
Policeman w. f. Meyer said he
ran up stairway from the Lobby
TO the second floor and found a
child lying at the head of the
stairs. After getting oxygen. the
child was sped off to hospital.
The whine Of sirens mingled with
the screams Of the burned and
calls for help as fircmen and am.
balances relied up at the first
alarm. Division Chief II. M. Melvin
put in quick call for aerial ladder
trucks as frightened faces APP
peared at upper windows Of the
100-room brick structure.
One by one the big ladders
swung to windows to take off the
occupants. Others clambered down
fire escapes and a few jumped
into nets. Most Of them were sui.
fering from the intense heat and
heavy smoke.
The blaze was quelled an hour
after il started.

Saturday marked the close OF
one of the most disappointing
duck-hunting seasons in the his
tory of the Lake Erie marshlands.
For the past several weeks, a
number of the holders of shoot
ing stations many of which were
leased at fancy prices, in disgust,
have refrained from going to their
blinds at all.
A combination of factors has
made the duck season "dud" in
this area. The unusually mild
weather of October and most of
November produced many days of
brilliant sunshine or butterfly
days as the veteran duck hunter
terms them. On such days the
birds sit out in the bay or lake
and fail to come into the marshes
until after the hour around 4
o'clock when legal shooting ends
Then in late November came the
freeze which coated the shallow
marsh ponds with ice rendering
shooting impossible.
One of the big causes for the
limited number of ducks baggeC
was the rigorous enforcement Oi
federal regulations against evi

Mercurys Engage
Milwaukee Saturday

Because of Christmas, there is
only one game on the hockey
schedule of the Toledo Mercurys
this coming Week-on engage
ment with Milwaukee on Saturday,
Dec. Goth, at the Sports Arena.
A 5 to victory over Milwau-
kee at Milwaukee last Wednesday,
put the Merks even with the
Chiefs on the seasons play at two
victories apiece and now the only
club that holds an edge over the
Merks is the league-leading Gin
cinnati outfit which will be at the
Sports Arena on Dec. u.
With all hands recovered, even
though Bobby Palmer is wearing
a mask to protect broken cheek
bone that was operated on, Coach
Doug McCaig believes that, bar
ring further injuries, his team is
ready for the drive for the Inter
national League championship.
Despite the many injuries suf-
fered this season, the Mcrks are
in second place in the race.

Boosters
Nitn1en Win
At FostOr'ia

Oak Harbor Boosters boxing
team participated in their first
matches of the season when they
were carded at the Fostoria V. F
w. show Saturday night.
Five of the local boys were tax
en- to the show with four of them
being matched
jim Madison, who took part in
the elimination at the Golden
Gloves last year, was pitted a
gainst Rocco Strazicous of Belle
vue, very fast and capable boy,
however, Jim was awarded the
bout on TK.O. very early in the
second round.
One of the outstanding bouts Of
the evening was in the flyWeight
class when Dick Marvel was
matched with Bob English of the
Lima Boys Club. This bout was
very fast. as is usual in this di-
vision. When the match was over
it was Marvel by both judges and
the referee by wide majority.
A newcomer to the boxing game
was Otto Masters who was match
ed with Cornelius Sparks of the
Lima Boys Club. Masters is max
ing a good showing and had a
tough break when a small cut over
the right eve caused the referee
to stop the bout late in the second
round and award it to Sparks on
q TK.O.
Perhaps the outstanding bout
of the card was in the open class
when Lyle Smith at 174 pounds
was matched with Lou Castrovince
Of Bellevue at 189 pounds. Smith
didn't let the Is pounds that he
had spotted his opponent bother
him. Fighting unorthodox Smith
felt his man out for the first
round, occasionally left hooking
and jabbing. In the second round
leather really flew and with hooks
and jabs Lyle put Castrovince to
the deck on several occasions. The
last time he was floored with 9
straight right and left hook tc
the head was enough and it was
a victory for Smith on T.K.O. al
the end of the second.
The fifth O. H. boxer, Charlie,
! Whitman was not matched

sequent to the two weeks dead
line before the season opened. A
regulation bitterly condemned by
transformers and lessons makes
it possible for the federal author
tiles to close a marsh if such
evidence is detected within half
mile of the particular pond.
Thus many marshes where the
regulations were strictly observed
came under the ban because 9th
ers within the half mile limit had
not been SO scrupulous in wooing
the water fowl.

LOCAL QUINT'
HOPES TO
HIT STRIDE:
BY JIM RUDDocK
Special News Writer

Port Clinton's victory-hungry
Redskins are hopeful of taking
their first scalp of the current
season in Friday nights contest
with Willard here.
Coach Doc Wenzel's quintet, re-
versed in four previous starts,
feel that their improved style of
play will carry them through in
the last contest of the pre-Christ-
mas schedule.
The Redmen find themselves
facing a tough foe in Willard,
coached by John Ihnat, former
Lakeside mentor
Following tonight's game, the
Redskins have rest until Friday,
Jan. 2, when they go to Norwalk
and return here on Jan. 9 to meet
Lakeside.
Height was the whole story
Saturday night as P. c. bowed to
Bellevue 90-57. Throughout the
game the Redmen would get the
rebounds both on offense and de-
fense. Neither P. C. or Bellevue
had much of chance to get the
rebound when Bellevue shot as
their shooting eyes were deadly.
They ended up the game with
42Go from the floor which is SUI
perior for high school team
The game started out like there
might be an upset in the making.
Albert Woodman sank two one
handed jump shots in succession
and both Cipiti and Jacobs hit
from out front. P C. made one
foul and Bellevue hit for two
points and P. C. led with about
two minutes of the game gone
90.
Then Bellevue lowered the
boom on the Redskins as they
sank almost everything they shot
With Schuler, Eisenhauer, and
Windsor controlling the back
boards for Bellevue, P. c. was al
most helpless, and ended up
trailing in the first period 26-14.
Early in the fourth period, with
P. C. trailing by some 35 points,
Bellevue's coach sent in his sec
ond team and P. C. promptly
went to work and whitfield the
lead down to twenty points and
Bellevue's first string quickly
came back in.
P. C. saw plenty of hope in fu-
ture games and future years with
Louis Pail, a Junior, playing ag-
gressive ball all the way and Bob
Carter, sophomore, handling
the ball very deceptively and
controlling his share of rebounds.
Albert Woodman ended up the
game with 18 points and Bill ia
cobs with 13. Another fact that
can be sighted for P. c. loss is
the fact that Bellevue was red hot
on their shots while P. c. was
stone cold When P C. starts hit
ting around 80 or 35 percent of
its shots their opponents had pet
ter watch out.
P. c. junior cagers also lost
their fourth straight game 1929.
They felt the loss of Bob Carter
who is now playing varsity ball
and who was replaced by tall,
lanky Marvin Ohm 1t was again
a matter of height as Bellevue
was on an average Of two or three
inches taller than P. c. Bob Twar-
elk was high for the Reserves with
II points.
