A combination boxing and wrest
ling show last Thursday night topped
off the week’s sporting program.
Patterson, weighing 112 pounds, won
a close decision over B. Donnelly,
weighnig 118.
Eugene Adams and Harry Braxley,
two hard hitting middle weights,
tangled in the next bout. .Braxley
the decision.
The young people were greatly
disappointe. last Sunday that there
was not a sufficient fall of snow for
them to engage in snow balling, as
they imagined what fun they would
have had had there been three or
four inches of the snowy flakes cov
ering the ground. It has been several
winters since there has been a heavy
snow storm in this section.
Thore were a number of our peo-
nl« who thought of the birds, while
th« sleet and snow covered the
ground, and placed feed convenient
for th-'m to get. In the yard at one
hoir** robins, cardinals, jay b'rds,
sparrow*, nnd wrens made up a group
that partook of feed that had been
put out for them. The majority of
the^o birds will make their home
bore, but the robins will soon leave
for other climes. By the way there
seems to be more robins here this
year than have been in many years.
The robin classed as a song b : rd, ami
is protected by a national law.
Morgan Adams and Bernard Bak-
traded blows for the next three
rounds. Although Baker kept boring
in, he was outclassed all the way by
Adams.
Tom Hattaway took a close decis
ion from W. Burkholder in the light-
henvy weight decision.
Mi* !,. H. Andrew*, who has scon
mniv winters, paid very little if any
attention to the cold, sleet and snow
last Saturday for he was on the
streets without an overcoat, nnd
made a number of trips from hi?
office to other places in the business
section in spite of the slippery con
dition of the side walks.
Mr. Wiley V : nson, who lives in the
South-western part of the county,
si oped and fell Sunday, and broke
O'.ie of his legs and dislocated his
hip, nnd is in a serious condition.
Mr. Vinson is a Confederate Veteran,
and I aover eighty-seven year* of age.
Norman Vogt and Steven Wright
two fast stepping feather weigh*
put on the beat show on the card.
Although Wright was almost knock
ed out in the second round by a
hard left to the solnr plexis, he f : n-
ished the fight in great fashion.
George Roach, Jr., and Sibley-
Jennings featured the first match in
the mat show. George took the first
match.
Ted Forcrira put Gordon Neilson’a
shoulders to the mat in the second
match and Wiley Wright tossed Lon
nie Martin in the fourth match.
Archie Holton put James Swart.*
out of the picture in the next match
with n bar and wrist lock. Morris
Cook seemed to have great trouble
in getting his opponent on the mat
in the next match, and the Watch
ended in a draw.
John Davis threw Buster Adams in
•he la>t match on the program.
The boxing team will meet G. S.
T. C. th*a week in the first match of
the season.
He has been in feeble health for
r-tfme time. He is n good man, and
h?s life has long been one of prayer,
faith and consecration. He iB a mem

and has pot missed attend.ng a meet
ing, when his health permitted, on
Memorial Day in many years. He al
ways conducted the devotional exer-
cises, nnd his prayers were earnest
and fervent. The writer, who hni
known him for years, deeply regret
the accident that hn« befallen him.

Pointing out the necessity for en
forcement vt game and fish laws,
Commissioner Zack D. Cravey in a
statement just issued asked the co
operation of all citizens ia prosecut
ing and securing convictions of vio
lators of these laws. He pointed out
that it is impossible, due to lack of
funds for the department of game
j$nd fish to police the entire state
but he added, with a few convictions
here and there the slaughter of game
and fish by a few unprincipled indi
viduals can be stopped.
“One of the great needs of the
Department of Game and Fish”, said
Mr. Cravey, “is the full co-opera
tion of every citizen of the 8tate in
enforcing game and fish laws. The
Department receives many com
plaints that Mr. John Doe is violat
ing the law in some place, and ask
ing that we do something about it.
We can send wardens and stop the
,'iolation, but when we are ready to
prosecute the guil-y party the ones
who report the violation are not will
ing to appear as witnesses and testify
in the case.
“It is utterly impossible for this
department, with its lack of funds,
to police the entire state as it should
be done. For his reason the Depart
ment asks that every one of the citi
zens who know of direct violations
he willing to help us stop them. With
test mony »'c ran get convic-
nnd a few convictions here and
there nro all that we need to stop the
salughter of game and fish by a few
unprincipled individuals who are
xpoOing the sport for us all.
“I pointed out once before that
we intend to see that vilators get
Want is coming to them. Please do
not th : nk we are encouraging ‘tale
bearing’, but I want you to realize
that we are just asking you to help
protect what belongs to you. With
a little help from you, we can stop
practically all violations, and save
for the public what is rightfully
theirs.’*
