Every boy interested in trying out i'pr the team d>
represent Borger in the Amarillo district (.olden Gloves
tournament next month is asked to report at 7 o'clock
tonight at the Borger arena.
The Amarillo tourney will be held Feb, 5-6-7.
"Dood" Massey, trainer, and "Puffy" Orriek, repre-
senting the J ay cees are calling the boxer together again
to prepare for the meet.
Last year Borger had one of the best teams in the
tournament and was probably the most popular outfit
of boys over there. Two of them, ''Dood ' Massey and
Arnold ''Wildcat" McGuire, won titles at the tourney.
Massey went to the state meet at Ft. Worth and
advanced into the finals, where he was barely beaten
out by Geoige Porter of Dallas. McGuire was unable
to make the trip.

sink a field goal would win.

the eyes of .luck Powell. Panth-

able to see Panhandle culled time

eyes with cold water from the

treatment spectacularly by neat-

hoop for the winning two points
that sunk Couch Seltuer Klrby's

And now, after a century
und a half, the truth Is out about
Benjamin Franklin that great
exponent of thrift and other car-
dinal principles.
He didn't always practice his
own prcuchmenM.
Iu fact, Franklin, like some
present (day ff.tk. thud quite a
lot of trouble tJ, keeping suffi-
cient lundH in the bunk to cover
what he wanted lo draw out.
"The name "poor Richard"
might easily have derived from
his bank account father than
from his ainfarmc." declared
President William FullOn 'Kurt*,
of the PunnaylVania Company
"He was overdraw,, at the bank
at least three days out of every
week."
President Kurlz spoke after a
perusal of the early records of
the bank of North America,
where Franklin and many of his
Illustrious compatriots of colon-
ial days kept their money.
Complete records of Ihe bank,
first one established Iti the Unit-
ed Stales, were turned over last
night to the historical society of
Pennsylvania.
They covered Ihe period from
1781. when the second contin-
ental congress charted Ihe Insti-
tution as a means of providing
supplies and finances for promot-
ing the revolutionary war. down
to 1029.
In that year, the venerable
bank of North America was ab-
sorbed by the Pennsylvania com-
pany.
figutus practically equalled those
of 1ÓU8, despite the fact the
pennant was decided early In the
season With a close race right
up to the middle of September or
later, I believe he would have
broken all turnstile records.
There Is no doubt of night
baseball's popularity. The fans
enjoyed it immensely, not only
because It gave many of them u
first chance to see a game, but
also because of the cat nival spirit-

Among the 37 players to whom

Bonn ra, restful first-baseman
from old New Orlenns.
Now, the (Hants have sot
themselves Into something of a
mess about Zeke Tlbey bought
hi in from Washington for *25
non lust winter and paid him the
not unhandsome «alary of $15,-
000 for his season's work.
Manager Bill Terry toured on

:>efore the close of the race. He
took Zeke off first and let him
do only an occnslonnl chore of

The news goi around, of course
and since then the glunts hnve

Washington wouldn't have
minded having him back, for he
Is colorful and popular. But the
clubM that could use Zeke can't
afford to support him In the style
to which the (Hants have let him
become accustomed.
The Giants don't want /eke
to get mad at them and hold out,
because their chances of trading
or selling him eventually would
lie reduced materially. He Is. af-
ter all ti fairly valuable baseball
property, Fniukly. they don't
know exactly what to do.
Possibly, they will have to fall
