Jacobs Surprises Cronies With Charity Enthusiasm ———— x . ___i By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—UP)— Close associates of Mike Jacobs, the fight promoter, never thought they would see the day when Mike would become enthusiastic about charity, but they were shaking their heads today and admitting that the old ticket broker had. it bad. As Mike bounced happily about his office and discussed the rec ord-breaking possibilities of the heavyweight title fight he is put ting on between Joe Louis and , Buddy Baer here Jan. 9 for the JOSIE’S PAL WINS ROCKINGHAM RACE SALEM, N. h!. Nov. 13.—— C. J. Amendola’s Josie’s Pal became the winner of the featured race of an all-claiming card at Rockingham Park today through the disqualifi cation of Eddie Haughton's Holl Image, which crossed the wire f^rst. • A foul was claimed by Jockey Teddy Atkinson who charged French Trap which he was riding, was cut off by Holl Image as the field drove into the stretch. The revised finish gave FreAch trap second and Mrs. Willie Rob inson’s County Cork third. The time for the mile and a sixteenth was 1:47 with Josie’s Pal paying $6.80 for $2 to win in the mutuels. Kiwanis Wives Feted At Annual Fun-Fest ,fr* .i. With Maj.-Gen. Frederic H. Smith, commanding general at Camp Davis, as honored guest, Kiwanlans of Wilmington and their wives forgot the turmoil of the world and enjoyed an evening of fun as the Klwanls club held its annual Ladies night Thursday. Following two hours of fun, from magic to singing, General Smith spoke briefly, saying that although the emergency had been disruptive to many communities, it had done him a great favor by bringing him to Wilmington. He refused to speak on any seri ous matter and his speech followed the general trend of the evening fun. With Toastmaster W, R. Dosher keeping everything running smoothly, Maj. Bob Cowan pulling EXPERT WATCH and JEWELRY REPAIRING 1 - V. ,, . ij - ' benefit of navy relief, the wonder ment grew, for MikeV'was shat tering one of the cardinal rules of his organization. Not once did he even mention the fact that he has Gus Lesne vich and Tami Muriello meeting for the 175-pound crown tomorrow night in the Garden. It figures to be quite a scrap, too. And yet Mike has been known to border on hysteria if one of his employees thoughtlessly mentioned a contest other than the next one on the Jacobs’ calendar. “I’ve got to get together with the admiral to work out things and then I’ll tell him how much the navy figures to make.” (The reference was to Rear Adm. Adolphus Andrews, U.S.N., president of the New York Auxil iary of the Navy Relief Society and nominal promoter of the affair.) “I’m not taking a cent, y’under stand, except maybe for a little extra clerical help we might have to put on. I’m donating the serv ices of myself and my organiza tion. “And what do you think of that Louis? He’s really giving some thing, and he and his managers are happy as birds about it. All he’ll take is training exercises. Baer’s going to take a little, but it ain’t much. Their other fight down at Washington drew $86,000 at only $16.50 tops, so you can figure what this one's going to do when we get through with those tickets.” 1 '--—— - —1 everything from rabbits to gold fish out of his subjects’ coat tails, and George Walker singing several selections which brought applause, there was not a slack moment In the program which was under the direction of Held Toms, chairman of the Ladies' day committee. The program began with the dis tribution of gifts to the ladles. The general told the story of how he and his wife always had plan ned to make their home In Hamp ton, Va., and that they believed nothing could change their minds. And, then he said, they came to Wilmington and they now had come to. the conclusion that their first Idea of making their horns at Hampton was premature. 250,000 Now Employed In American Shipyards NEW YOHK, Nov.

Deacs Imitate Blalock In Realistic Drills For Clemson Fray WAKE FOREST, Nov. 13.—(2P>— Football practice became realistic today In the Wake Forest camp. Coach D. C. Walker, remembering that passes by a left-handed throw er named Joe Blalock played a large part in Clemson’s defeat of the Deacs last year, raided his fresh man for a left-hander. He came up with Russ Perry, who played the part of Blalock in a long dummy scrimmage against the Tiger air offensive. WOODS AND WATER - By BILL KEZ1AH — SOUTHPORT, Nov. 13.—The eyes of all wild animals, and also many of the domestic, reflect from automobile headlights and other glaring lights. In this part of the state the motorist cannot drive even a few miles along the highways at night without seeing the reflection from the eyes of some small animal. Frequently the reflection is that from the eyes of a fox, o’possum or coon. Twice more often it comes from a pred atory cat that is prowling around in search of birds and vertnin for food. These prowling cats that are seen by the side of the road are the greatest enemies that quail and.other small game birds have. The fox, the coon and the mink get very few quail, the prowling cat gets more than all three com bined. At the risk of bringing the wrath of woman readers down on our head, we still would like to advise the sportsman to shoot ev ery cat that he finds prowling in the woods. Come to think of it, a lot of men and women who class themselves as sportsmen or sportswomen are guilty, along with the rank and file of mankind, in the matter of contributing to the destruction of game birds. The family has a pet tabby and in due time tabby pre sents the family with a large lit ter of kittens that nobody wants. It is considered cruel to drown or otherwise dispose of the off spring of the house cat. The most merciful (?) way of getting rid of the unwanted is to place them in a sack, drive out to the country and leave them by the side of the road to survive or starve, as the case may be. Most of the kit tens thus disposed of do starve, those that survive do so at the cost of the life of many an inno cent song or game bird. We thipk it much more merciful all around to drown or kill the unwanted kittens in some way. At the same time, since its death may save the life of hundreds of birds, we are inclined to applaud whenever we hear of a sportsman drawing down on a cat that he found prowl ing in the woods. A couple of years ago we wrote something to the papers along the above lines, and about 40 women promptly lit into us. calling us by all the names that would de fine us as having cruel and in human feelings. They used a great deal of postage, in fact they abso lutely wasted their postage. Our views regarding the predatory cat remained the same and they still do. Shoot him or her when you find them prowling in the woods and you will be the benefactor of game and song birds. And if you run over one with your car, as the feline prowls along the road at night, don’t stop to feel sorry for it. Your wheels wiU have done a good turn. We are being promised some thing interesting the latter part of this month in the way of fox hunt ing. Fox hunters from Johnson City, Tenn., Taylorsville, Concord and other points are expected to come in with their great pack of hounds for the usual two weeks or ten days of running the swamp grays. The sport has its attrac tions to people of all ages. We re call one instance last winter when a Wilmington girl, in the begin ning of the ’teen age, slipped down here with her father before day light and walked around for hours in the frosty air of morning, lis tening to the music of the hounds. 1 N. Y. Police Probe Death Of Ex-N. C. Social Worker NEW YORK. Nov. 13—(®—Po lice investigated the death today of Miss Raeford Iris Hatcher, 35-year old social worker, formerly of Ham let, N. C., whose body was found at noon on the floor of her hotel room. An autopsy was performed by a city medical examiner to determine the cause of death, after police said they learned Miss Hatcher had con sulted a doctor yesterday in a de pressed condition. A sealed note, addressed to the medical examiner, was found op a table in her room. New Canadian Arrivals Land At British Port A BRITISH PORT, Nov. 13.-=—<^>) Rundreds of additional Canadian filers and soldiers arrived in Britain tonight. Officials described the group as the largest sent from Canada under the Commonwealth air training pro gram. In addition to Canadians, it included Australians, New Zealand ers and Britons trained in Canada. The transport was a former pa« senger-llner which has made dozitns of previous trips with.troops for the ^United Kingdom. 1 . J RUGGED GRIDIRON HEROES PAMPERED ON ROAD JOURNEYS Two-Fisted He-Men Given Care Of An Infant When Game Is In Offing MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 13.—(The Special Hews Service)—Out there on the football field defending na tional and Big Ten titles, those big two-fisted, he-man Minnesota players fight their own battles and take care of themselves generally in a rugged, give-and-take sport. But off the field, particularly on a trip,. do they ever get pam pered? You would think they were mere infants. Well, to begin with trainers, equipment men and even dieti cians, if you please, undertake preparations two weeks before the takeoff. The trainers have to fix up a railway baggage car as a training room, with diathermy ma chines, heat lamps, rubdown ta bles and bandaging facilities. The idea is that Whizzer Whoisit must get the same prompt atten tion when he gets bumped or bruised on the road as he does when he is at home. The equipment man—in the case of Minnesota, a virtual celebrity since he is Oscar Munson who started the Little Brown Jug tro phy feud by retrieving the Minne sota water bottle from the Michi gan dressing room a quarter cen tury ago — must have plenty of room and plenty of help. Each of the 36 players must have three pairs of shoes, two pairs cf pants, two jerseys and other pigskin finery. One pair of grid shoes must have short cleats for fast fields or dry turf and another must have long cleats for soft ground. Then there must be a pair of tennis shoes for indoor drill. The business of eating is more complicated. Dr. George Hauser, line coach and team physician, is in charge of the diet. No mother ever arranged her child’s menu with greater care. Before and after the game all food must be broiled but there is where some real poundage comes in—usually no limit on the size of the steaks and no limit on the number a player may eat, within reason. And there are other details of arrangement like getting several boxes of apples aboard for the boys to munch as well as oranges for half - time consumption, and loaf sugar to be eaten at the same time to restore energy. Also, the team takes along 4 gallons of water from home so the boys get the kind they’re used to drinking. Yes, mother’s little boy, big as he may be in a football suit, is a carefully coddled chap away from home. 1 Defense Effort Seen As Race Against Time MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 13.—(^—Wil liam H. Harrison, director of pro duction for the OPM, today describ ed the United States defense effort as a "race against time.” Addressing the National Rivers and Harbors Congress, Harrison as serted that while naval and mer chant marine production is develop ing satisfactory, "anti-aircraft, anti tank guns, field artillery and TNT, are not up to needs." Harrison listed some other arma ment as ahead of schedule, but warned Americans to "make the most of days that are so precious.” NOTICE Having sold my business, excepting accounts receivable, all indebted to me up to and including November 7th, 1941, please call at store and make settlement as soon as possible or mail check to: 0.

Of course, that opinion may be prejudiced, for it comes from Wil fred Willetts, a back on last year’s super-colossal Georgetown squad, and now a member of the 96th Coast Artillery regiment here. (Willetts was a basketball and baseball star to boot; the Giants and Cards were dickering for him while he was still in high school.) Willy says the Hoyas hot and cold 1941 season is due to a bad case of overconfidence. Despite the loss of their dream backfield of Ghecas, Koshlap, Cas tiglia and McFadden, and a batch ’-of line regulars including All American Augie Lio, Jack Hager ty’s boys thought they had enough reserve strength to take up the slack. They were sure of it when, in their first game, they bottled up Mississippi’s Hapes and Hovi ous and beat the Southerners 16-6. Facing an underdog Virginia Tech team a week later, they were too cocky for their own good, Willetts figures. A 3-0 defeat was the result. Their ego has been flattened beyond recognition by a j 17-7 shellacking by Temple and a ALL NIGHT BROADCASTS! WRAL NOVEMBER 15TH NOVEMBER 23RD 12 Midnight To 4:30 A. M.
