Lemm stood Zbyszko off at Portland Wednesday night, the big man being unable to secure even a fall. Zbyszko tried every trick known to the wrestling world in order to get his opponent’s shoulders on the mat but he was unsuccessful.

The outlook is for a mild winter — at least that’s the forecast in the latest issue of the famous Geiger Brothers Farmers’ Almanac published in Lewiston and which is now out.

The almanac, which has been published for 144 consecutive years, is as full of weather predictions, useful information, jokes, puzzles and poetry as ever.

A planting and garden calendar, the positions of the planets, how to eat a lobster, instructions on growing house plants, the story of how leather is made and an article on “The Romance of the Pretzel” — all these are in the almanac.
