B. Hall arena by the| American Legion, are expected to put on a battle that for speed and strength of attack has seldom if ever had an equal in this city. | The lads are almost perfectly matched as far as ze, weight, and | eneral build are concerned. They are true welters and are trained to just the right pitch. | Both In Fine Shape | Both lads are in great shape and have conditioned so as to be at the | peak of form for the scrap. Neither | suffered any injury in their train- ing. It ought to bea battle long to be remembered. From the point of local interest, the semi-final match that brings| Sammy Nelson and Slugger Wea-; ver together ranks alongside the nightcap. Sammy is the heavier of | the two boys, but Weaver is ran- | gier and is credited with being the superior boxer. Sammy is the harder hitter and may have some- | thing in reserve for the Slugger. | Usually Nelson takes his fights | casually, and does his training by, proxy. | Not so this time. He has| worked faithfully and will enter| the ring in shape to fight 10| rounds instead of the scheduled six. | ‘Weaver, too, is in fine form and| will set a pace that will keep Sam- | my dizzy if he tries to follow it. Joseph Fights Garcia The special event, the first of | three six-rounders, brings two! speed merchants together when Philip Joseph, one of the clovcresti Indian bantam son lhe Channel takes on a little brown brother named Tony Garcia.

None was so seriously injured as to require confinement in the | hospital, but all are likely to need |at least a few days of care before y will be able to leave their home: e youths are Erwin Gubser, 10 rs old, son of Mr. and Mrs. H | |H Gubser, cut in the forehead; | Thomas Hall, 13, son of Mr. and | Mro Thomas Hall, bruised about the body and legs; Chester Shank, 13, son of Mrs C. Shank, cut in the side. Bandaged In Hospital | Young Gubser was taken to St. | Ann’s hospital where his wound | was bandaged and then he walked ‘hume. Young Shanks was taken |in an automobile to his home from the scene of the accident. He be- came quite weak from the loss of | blood. Young Hall was the least | seriously hurt. All three were un- | conscious for a few moments after |the mishap. The three, on a large bob sled, ro|had started from Seventh Street - |to speed down Gold Street, which, | with its smooth and hardened sur- | face, is lightning fast. Turned to One Side Just before reaching Second Street, young Gubser, who was | guiding the sled, turned to one | side to avoid hitting Edward Nel- |son, 9 yedrs old, who was in the Icenwr of the thoroughfare. Before { Gubser could get the bob back into the roadway, the sled crashed into the pole. The force of the impact hurled |the three boys in different direc- tions. The sled was almost wreck- ed.

C., Dec. 31.— The news of the threatened break of the independent Republicans in the Northwest from the Republi- can Party next year is naturally drawing interest from party leaders throughout the country. While it furnishes the topic of greatest con- cern just now among Republicans, neither President Hoover nor Sena- tor Simeon D. Fess, Chairman of the Repl::xn National Commit- tee, are enting on the situa- tion. There is an inclination among the regular Republican leaders to scout the importance of the Third Party talk and to regard it as a political maneuver, coming, as it does, so early in the Presidential race. the deaths of two postal clerks and injury to three others when the parcels exploded in the post office yesterday. Seven packages were received but only three exploded. The packages, it has been learned, were mailed by two men in what investigators *4f suspect is an anti-Fascist plot. One of the seven packages were opened without a blast. The other three remain unopened. b Investigators said it is believed the packages were intended for prominent Italian - Americans in Pittsburgh, New York and Balti- more. The addresses on the pack- ages are misspelled and the authori- ties are having a hard time io determine just to whom they were intended for. — .- Samuel (Porky) Levine, goalie for the Kansas City Pla-Mors, is the only Jewish hockey player in pro competition.
