Lazano had a reputation of using any means at hand to win his matches, but made the mistake recently of get ting too tough with Referee Jack i Demosey. former heavyweight boxing king, and was kay(rtV neatly for his audacity.

Demi sey must have hit the wrestler very hard because, according to SCATTERING BREEZES BAY HIGH OF PANAMA CITY is lining up another one of those grid powerhouses for next fall, according to our Little Breeze who has been watching the Tornadoes during their spring football workouts. Coach Hillary Home, whose charges have lost Just two games in his three years at the school, has worlds of material that is big and fast, according to our informer. For instance, although his only first string returning lineman will be end Ray Warren, some of the boys coming up are showing promise of becoming greater players than their predecessors. There are two hefty tackles, 193-pound Jimmy Peterson and 200-pound Duke Smith to anchor the line. Promoter Baarns, Lazano wanted to take on the Jack when he re gained consciousness.

Seml-FlnaL Too Dear West Wind (which Is Just about blown out): I've argued and fussed with you for a couple of rears about everything under the sun, but I've had lot of fun out of it and I hope you have. I want to congratulate you on your appointment as Superintendent of the Recreation Department I know you will do a good job. 1 hope you won't mind, however, if I take just one more dig at you before you leave just for the record. I have watched with interest your baseball stones, columns and letters from the players this winter. Of course, with all the other sports you haven't had much space for baseball, but you did manage to get in a few words now and then.

I was particularly interested in your story of the Georgia-Florida League meetings you attended of the League's decision to raise the pay of umpires, for instance. I am disappointed in you that you did not comment on this, because it is about umpires that we usually see eye to eye. As long as you have said nothing, and I think some comment should be made before you turn the page over to another writer who may ignore my letters 4 as he probably will), please let me get this off my chest. The Georgia-Florida League had some of the most atrocious umpiring in the history of baseball last summer. It wasn't only that the men made errors in matters of judgment, but they didn't know their rules or how to conduct themselves on the field.

They didn't know how to handle men without game-delaying arguments, and then they would often curse and swear as loudly as some of the players they, put off the field for doing the same thing. They were an awful mess for a bunch of rookies, as most of the Georgia-Florida League players were, to break in with. The semi-final go may also see some rough-house wrestling as Singer is noted for his tendencies to go outside the rules. He will find Romanoff, a real old-timer of the mat world who knows all the tricks of the game, ready for NORTH-SOUTH GAME AUGUST 7TH ALL STAR GAME JULY 6TH most anything he can dig up, however.
