Newnort Wrestler Meels
AH Comers With Good
Rcsults
The first word to be received from
Charlie Borella sinec the young wel-tei'-weight
champion wrestler of New
port left here severa jnonths ago to
join a'traveling carnwal working out
of Meiidan, Conn., brings the glad
tidings that the pride of locai wrest
ling fan stands undefeated silice hi
sojourn into foreign lands. In a let
ter to the editor of the Newport Ile
cord, the star athlete gives a more
or less dtailed account of the many
matches in which he has figured very
prominently durino' his tour of dever
ai largo cities in New England aiu
Canada. The letter was dated a'
Montreal, where the carnival witl
which he is connected, is showing th
present week. It says in part:
"There are two other carnivalr
here in Montreal and Joe Shimku..
(who Lorella met on the mat at Bur
lington during the winter) is with
one of them and a big Gennan heavy
weight is the other.
"Well. Jack (Borella means Jack
Moriow of Leominsler, Mass., who
defeated him in Newport duiing thi
last seai-on) and I have had mighty
good huk so far in meeting ali com
ers. We haven't been defeated a
yt-t". Of course we have failed to
throw sverai of the men that accept
ed ouì- challenges in the limited rf'.ve
ten and fifteen minute matches, but
we haven't lost a single match.
"On one occasion, Jack had a baci
knee and couldn't wrestle so I went
on for him. Unfortunately I lost ono
fmish match to thi fellow. He was
a professional 170 pound wrestler
but 't him one nour all( ir'
minute to do the joh: Howcver,
don't consider that a defeat because
of the fact that I was handicapped
with sore ears and besides he was
outside of my class. But with the
exceptinn of that one I have won
every finish match.
"We met ali comers in Meriden,
Ifnrtfoifl, Norwich, Williamatie,
South Manchester and Bristol (ali in
Connecticut) and Woonsocket and
Valley Falls, (Rhode Island). I
manaed to defeat "Dutch" Kent,
Hartford's big 1.10 pound 'noisc.' "

COUNTRY'S TRANSPORTATION
WASHINGTON, June 2!) Opera
tion of i-ailroad.s of the country "as
a unit" as a means of relieving the
present transportation diflìculties
was suggested today by William A.
Colver of the Federai Trade Com
mission in an address before the
Washington club. He said a con
tintia'.ion of the resent situation
would mean untold .suffeiing and an
industriai shutdown next winter.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of merchnndise is tied up on
ide tracks in freight cars deprivin"
merchants of much needed capital.
Only one-tenth of the needed coal
for next winter's sunnly has been
moved to th.i hc-id of the lakes", Mr.
Culber said. While the industries
in New Enjrland are aclually closin"
down now for la'ck of coni, f armerà

erop at a timo when the new cron
is coming- into harvest. Already
there is nredictions of $25 flour and
25 cent bread.

railroads are paying less than the
nai-ket nrice for labor and are con

Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Ar
kansas another staunch administra-
non supporter chosen as permanent
chairman of the convention, and ad
ministration men at thè head of other
committee, was the line-up of what
had promised to be a contest. The
threatened anti-administration fight,
so far as it related to the organiza
tion of the convention machinery, col
lapsed without a showing and at the
sanie time the committee formulating
the rules for the convention has de-
, clared the way for the nominating

Two ways to sell things these days.

To sell for a "One time Customer"

To sell to people who are likely to "re

At ouì slorc we bave only the second

Every customer is a possible "repeat."
