FUR TRAPPING ENDS FRIDAY .

Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner of the Department of conservation, said to- | day. Fur prices generally have been higher and many trappers have reported unusual success in their op- , I erations. The open season on fox ends Friday, Jan. 15 in Greene, Hartin, Knox t Sullivan, Daviess, Pike. Floyd, Spencer, Perry, Crawford and Harrison i counties but continues until Feb. 10 in the remaining counties of the Southern Zone.

Trappers are permitted to have fur-bearing animals and the freshly skinned hides of such animals, taken lawfully during the open season, in their possession for five days after the close of the seasono Today’s Sport Parade (By Henry McLemore) ♦ ♦ Daytona Beach. Fla., Jan. 14. — (U.E; —The citizens ot this little city are greatly excited these days, for tnere is a report about that James J. Braddock, the heavyweight boxing champion of the world, accompanied by Joe Gould and Bill Duffy, will visit here for a few days soon. The excitement, I think, is natural, for after all it isn’t every city that gets the chance to entertain the man who is credited with being able to shuck off his coat and bloody the nose ot anyone who frets him. And when the Messrs. Gould and Duffy are thrown in for good measure, as it were, a community really has something to awaken deep civic stirrings. The party is scheduled to visit Mr. Jack Ginty, owner, operator and by seniority and talent, chief bouncer of the Chateau Libo. The Chateau Lido really was a chateau back in the boom days, and couples paid as high as fifty a throw for j the privilege of dancing on one another’s feet inside it. But all one has to do now to pass through its

portals is to keep the shirt-sleeves rolled down and have a few dimes to pay for dances, which cost pust that. Tint I doubt if Mr. Ginty. try as ne may. will be able to keep James J. Braddock and the Messrs. Gould and Duffy to himself. The best citizens — particularly the rich, best citizens —will demand that Mr. Ginty slice up his guests, so to speak, and allow others to cut in on the hospitality. There is nothing, I suppose, that sets the red corpuscles of hospitality whirling through the slightly hardened arteries of our rich, best citizens than a heavyweight champion. Show them a man who, thanks to a battery of knuckles set level in his hands, a rope ladder of muscles down his back, a nose that won't yell "uncle," and a voice grown slightly whicky-tenorism because of punches on the Adam's apple, has achieved the championship, and they'll put three more stripes on the butler's vest, dust the cobwebs off the port, and add three inches to the latchstring. The only other group which is just as violently “carried away” by a boxing champion as the rich, best citizens, is the guild of barbers. If a clock could be held on the rich, best citizens and the barbers to determine which went to pieces more quickly in the presence of a champion. I think a dead heat would be the result. The rich, best citizens show their appreciation of a champion by bringing out the best in rare foods and wines. The barber shows his by bringing out his rare tonics and lotions for his idol's' face and scalp. I thought 1 had smelled all the sickening violence that could come from a barber's assortment of bottles until one day I accompanied Max Baer into a barber shop. Max was champion at the time and was a great man for playing al ithe bottles and jars a barber had standing in the cupboard. The barber, who was all in a flutter, gave Baer a sample squirt from every jug in sight and then, with the flair of the true host, went in a back room for the exotic, treasured decanters. No wine connoisseur ever poured brandy with more pride and love than tais barber did his bandruff killer. When Baer Anally stepped from the chair and was bowed out the door into the sunshine a great wake of odor followed him. Actu-

i -ally, it was so strong as to be ali most visible. (Copyright 1937 by UP.) o 1 Hardwick Named New Navy Coach Annapolis, Jan. 14.— JU.PJ —Lieutenant Harry J. Hardwick.
