This is not fficial, tut fght talk in the Me ' fcropolis tonJs to these two fighters. ' Each year Ring Magasine makes 'an awarJ to the fighter they think ms the out landing of the year. This year's award has just been made lo Joe Louis. A bit of humor was experienced jown in Newberry, S. C, last week ,n a girls basketball game. The j game was delayed at the request pi the referee to trim the long JnngernaOs of the players. Un "doubtedly the official was taking S)o chances that the lassies wouli ibegin scratching rather than play Jng ball. If you are fond of angling and do not have any luck during the S"dog days" season, perhaps this will shed a little light on how to change the situation. 1 An Eastern fisherman has con fessed how he catches bass in dog days when no one else is getting them. lie passes the hook, with worm or helgramite attached, through a K!y pad so the bait ap pears to be attached to the under aide of the lily pad. This he tosses Into likely places and lets it drift iaround.--. - . ,4 .

I It is marvelous how some people can take a bad situation and turn lit into something worthwhile. Up In New Jersey, one Edwin (Rip) Collins, nineteen, whose left leg was amputated as a result of an injury suffered in a prep school football game, announced that he 'had signed up to play semi-pro baseball and that the position would ibe catcher.; He states that the Occident was water already passed over the dam, and instead of look ing backward, he was looking ahead to the future. Last week a situation was brought to light up in Missouri that some high priced ball players were ' receiving compensation from the government while out of a job. Here is what the Charlotte News ha$ to say about the situation as "Let's go out to the ball party,! Aeijaus, auu 11 we van t &v mtio, let's go down to the unemployment insurance office. We can't lose. "Since Hayman park is so cover ed with snow that even Bobby Estatella's bantams are complain ing of tough pickings, The News "went to the unemployment office at Tap Bark Wanted We are in the Market For Both Chest ' nut Oak and Hemlock Tan Bark.

CCC At Ravensf ord, fa Battling 1,000. Wins In Hurry Charles Wilkie, 182-pounder from the CCC camp at Ravensford, is batting 1,000 as a boxer and he's a champion, too. Wilkie won the heavyweight title in the CCC tournament held at Fort McPherson. The Tar Heel pug has fought only four times and he has four victories to show. He won two bouts by first-round kayoes in a sub-district tournament at Clayton, and thus qualified for the big meet at Fort McPherson. Wilkie had to fight twice in the district meet at McPherson, and each time he finished his foe in the first round. The two victories put him in the finals. He didn't have to raise a glove in the title bout his opponent, Joseph Wiley, 222, Cartersville, Ga., came down with appendicitis during the afternoon and bad to default Bethel And Sylva Split Two Games In a double cage attraction held on the Sylva hardwood last Tues day night, the Bethel basketeers won one and lost one to Sylva High, The Bethel lassies were victorious in a 21 to 8 score.

Raleigh to find out how all this flutter about baseball players and unemployment insurance is behav ing in North Carolina. "Charles Powell, director of un employment compensation in North Carolina, could see no reason why some of the state's ball players weren't eligible to stick their paws in the Government's grab-bag. " 'Ball players ought to be eli gible for compensation in North Carolina according to our laws,' he said, 'but it would naturally depend upon their contracts. Some ball players have year around contracts with baseball clubs arid they wouldn't be eligible, But those that have contracts only for the time they play would be. They are unemployed when they aren't playing ball.' "But in North Carolina, which has produced more ball players for the major leagues than any other state in the country except Texas, there is no such Winter grub staking. But, gather round boys. The whiskers on this Santa Clans aren't false." 3,070 Counties In U. 8. There are 3,070 counties In the United States.

Y, Friday night another page of fistic history will be written when the heavyweight champion of the world, Joe Louis, will defend his title for the ninth time when he meets Arturo Godoy, the contender from Chili. The fight will be held in Madison Square Gardens. : Both fighters are said to be in tip-top condition, and a big gate is expected. The champion is favored to take the Chilean before the sixth round, but with all the experience that some of the predictors have had around the ring, it is impossible to predict every fight and get it right. The two fighters are evenly matched as far as statistics are concerned, the Bomber having a two year advantage in age, he being 24 and the contender 27. The champion weighs 200 pounds while the Chili lad tops the scales at 202. All the other statistics run in proportion. This is the ninth time the Bomb, er has faced a contender for the heavyweight crown and has set a record as no other fighter has had to defend hi5 title as often as has Louis. But to date he has had the crown, but had some difficulty at times. Locals Capture 2 From Crabtree The Mountaineers from Way nesville invaded Crabtree last Tues day night and took a doubleheader from the Crabtree cagers while there. The local lassies easily took their contest, 34 to 11. The boys had a little difficulty in their game but managed to take the high end of a 25 to 23 score. In the previous game between these two schools held in the local gym, Waynesville waa also the victor of both contests. u. UlA&Al&R, 6b 'EARS OtO.

Bethel was the victor in both contests the last time the two teams met, but the locals have been work ing hard in preparation for what they class the hardest games of the season, as the Bethel girls have been the champions of the county for several years. A record crowd is expected to see these two county teams battle on the hardwood. The annual Gold Medal Tourna ment for girls will break the regu lar schedule for next week when the Mountaineers enter the event which will be staged at Canton.
