"right from the floor which didn't ~onds after the fight had started. = For various reasons we were derelict to duty and failed to at- tend the Thanksgiving Day football game between the Hamilton Tigers and the Toronto Beaches-Indians. (The reasons, if you must know, were chiefly connected with a cold, drizzling rain which threatened to fall, and did fall, most of the after- noon.) . » . Next morning, after reading a bout how the game had developed into something between a Pier Five rhubarb and a non-stop battlc-royal, with large, hard fists flying (and landing) at almost every play, we found ourself conscious of some- what mixed feclings--feelings shar- ed, we are certain, by several thou- sand other recreant fans who also chose to stay home and listen to the World's Series. * » * One of these feelings was that the lads should feel ashamed of themselves fortacting in such a dis- gracefully rude and uncouth man- ner. The other, and even stronger feeling, was dcp regret for having stayed away and not being there to get shocked in person. * . * -For sad to relate, in spite of all that has been said and written about the desirability of clean play and strict abidance by the rules, there's no doubt that the average fan likes a trifle of mayhem and threatened manslaughter mixed up with his sport. It's deplorable, but true; and it's probably the chief reason while attendances at boxing bouts show- a tendency to become slimmer and slimmer. ' * * * There are exceptions of course, Men like Cerdan, Zale and QGrazi- ano, for example, fight as though they really liked fighting. But your average modern fighter acts as though his chief interest was in the size of his cut, and how little work he. must do in order to get that cut --and if you want real excitement from an average modern fight, listen to it over the air. Those sports an- nouncerg can make it sound about ten times as thrilling as it actually je. \ * LN * They didn't need anybody -to in- ject false pep or enthusiasm into a fight which came off just a little over a quarter-century ago, which was fought without reference to the rules' Raid down by the Marquess of Queensbury -- or by anybody else, for that matter. In the brief time it lasted therc was probably. more fouling, more savagery, than ever "But for all that anybody who saw the brawl between one John Harrison Demp- sey and one Lnis. Angel Firpo will remember same, we'll bet a cookle,. long after recollections of more polished and scientific exhibitions of the "manly art" have faded into no- thingness. It occurred just over a quarter-century "ago -- Sept. 14th 1923 at the Polo Grounds -- and it might be interesting, we hope, to 'try and recall just a little of what happened. . * * * Firpo--a huge, scowling, hairy giant of a man. -- weighed 216 pounds; Dempsey, 24 pounds less or thereabouts." But few of the 8& thousand present remembering what Jack had done to the even bigger Jess Willard -- gave the big Argentinian even a ghost of a chance. Onc of those few was NOT Jack Dempsey. Even today Jack will tell you, "How wrong I was a- bout that guy. I thought he was no- thing but a big boob I could flatten with the first punch." How wrong he was, indeed! * » * At the gong Dempsey leaped at. Firpo, aimed a wicked left, which missed. Firpo pulled a ponderous D migs. It exploded on Dempsey's jaw, and Jack was down, five sec- * * * Without waiting for a count, Jack was up and boring in with that bone-crushing left hook. -Firpo took it without even blinking, and fired a pile-driver right to Demp- Merry Menageric-By Walt Disney - ponsibilities, of the men eomplimented the sey's jaw. Again Jack's left crashed home, and down flopped Firpo for the first time. He bounced right to his feet again, eyes blazing with rage. Again he swung 'that right, and Dempsey reeled backward." But Firpo left himself wide open, and the champion's hook floored him for the second time. Up again at the count of two, the Wild Bull was immediately toppled for a three count. . . . There was no sych thing as the champion going back to a neutral corner -- or any other corner -- on the knockdowns. Ile stood right over Firpo, crashing him to the resin again every time the South American's knee came off 'the can- vas. Seven times in that first round Luis went floorward. As he stood there, after the seventh toppling, you could see that he was all in -- not a thing left hut that fighting spirit. * * * Dempsey, wild witn rage, . rushed in for the kill. Then, Jack must have thought, the sky fell in. Firpo's ponderous right crashed .home on the incoming Dempsey's jaw, sending the champion flying through the ropes, right out of the ring onto the press table. Friendly news-paper men helped push him back. Officially Dempsey was back Inside the ropes in less than ten seconds. Actually it was nearer twenty, but that's what the man said. If there had been any right or justice Luis Angel Firpo would have been crowned champion then and there. But there was too much ac- tlon to bother with trifling things Hke right or justice. a * " * The champion was so far gone that he couldn't even defend him- self, but Firpo, Instead of standing off and trying to measure him, kept flinging wild punch after wild punch. Somehow or other Jack managed to hang on till the bell signalled. the end of the round. Round One -- although it seemed as though they had been battling for at least ten. * * x Came round two and Dempsey -- his head cleared -- took charge in his own tigerish fashion. Down went Luis for a count of two. Down went Luis for a count of four. Down went Luis for a count of TEN. "The winnah -- and STILL the champion of the world--" * * LJ Yes, it was iIndubitably unfair and utterly brutal and thoroughly -deplorable, taken all around. Stil], In spite of that, quite a battle, with as much action in the 3 minutes § seconds it lasted as you're liable to see In a year of box-fighting these days. Why, they're even talk- Ing of matching Gus Lesnevich and Jersey Joe Walcott, with the winner to wear the mantle that Soeincly adorned the shoulders of Jac Dempsey! s < Labor Admits Lack Of Executivé Ability Trade unionists in Britain have been claiming for some time they should have a voice in management of nationalized industries. The all- powerful Trades Unlon Congress proposed these industries should be run by, administrative board on which union representatives would sit in equal status with officials of the industry. " The proposal was handed to the . U. C's economic committee to report on. The committee's report, 'Just released, will be thrashed out at the annual T. U, C. session and it will likely come in for some rough treatment, for it doesn't give the answer that many unions might have expected. 5 The report turns thumbs down on the idea, with this comment: "Unions would be compromised in . their relationships with the public boards and their members; and ' "It would not be right to assume- that qualifications for trade union work would be appropriate for executive responsibility in an industrial undertaking." It is easy to appreciate how trade union officials can see a danger in having their representatives sit on public boards, since it might be difficult at times to distinguish be- tween _ their union and public res- But it's an interesting admission to have on record from such an important body as the Trades Union Congress that unionists are not necessarily capable of management in industry. ; . - --The Financial Post.

How well that program succeeded in bringing all Russia under the domination of a compara- tively few "strictly party" men, everybody of reasonably average in- telligence knows. Or should know. In Poland, one of the historic bul- warks of freedom, similar procedure Is going on with increasing speed. This year Polish schools begin under full "reform" schedule. Free textbooks are available for all, re- vised and suitable for the youth of a "peoples' democracy". All youth ; organizations excepting Roman Catholic societies and the Polish Y.M.C.A. are under the direct con- trol of Communist officials or com- missions. ' What remains of private enter- rise is scheduled for liquidation. A a - sponsored convention of artisans at Breslau recently voted for compulsory unionization of all workers, acceptance of the state's economic plan, "agreement" to the state's supplying the vorker with all his materials, and of sale to the si:te of all his production. Now the Communists have step ed up their drive to gather in the peasants. A member of the official Communist Politburo said in a re- cent speech" that more than 225 thousand sants are dainted by "personal advantages". Action' squads have been appointed to con- duct a "purifying Campaign" which will take the form of buying up the crops of poorer farmers at good prices, then taxing the richer ones out of existence. Fh. Treatment of religion is much similar to what it was in Russia, "though the campaign against it pro- ceeds a little more slowly because of the established position of the Roman Catholic Church. But the -- . attacks increase in strength and there seems. no doubt as to the Com- munist regime's determination either to eliminate that Church, or to rule it. | ig Sunday, always faithfully "obsery- ed, is frequently used as a day for ordering groups of Roman Catholics to report for rubble removal. Ed- ftors of that Church's publications _ are frequently arrested, More than 100 priests are reported as being in prison. ' If the process of sovictization con- tinues as Poles throughout the world are coming to expect, it is bound to end in Poland becoming a new So- viet socialist republic--an integral part of Russia. There are plenty who think such an event--I had almost \ stomachic tonic effect? LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S (50575086 | ISSUE 43 -- 1948 sla vas to win, first, the youth, sec- - written "catastrophe" -- may very well occur before the Christmas chimes ring out their story of "Peace on Earth." : Great Britain There "are probably those among my readers who will remember the days when Ontario was in the "throes of Prohibition, so-called, and certain medical men gained a popul- arity they: never enjoyed before, or since. They were the Doctors who could be persuaded, one-way or another, to write out a préscription --Vulgarly called a "script" -- en- titling the holder thereof to pur- reasonable facsimile thereof. . Well, something similar to that has been going on in 'the Mother Country. Since July Sth when the new state health scheme came into effect, Doctors have been sending patients to chemists with prescrip- tions; and these patients have found it a pleasure to be ill since it meant that they could get an extra "nip" or so at the expense of the Ministry of Health. .But now, alas and alackaday, it looks as' though the party is over. The chemists' organization--Nation- al Pharmaceutical Union -- has sent a circular letter to its ten thou- sand members warning them that it is illegal to supply. whiskey, 'brandy or other spirits, also beer, stout or wine, on "free of charge" prescriptions written by doctors « under the national health insur- ance scheme. The chemists' union agrees with the Ministry of Health that alcohol cannot be regarded as a "drug" and that the ministry should not face a national liquor bill. . Somebody's always taking the joy out of life. Still, it must have seem- ed like a fine idea as long as it lasted. Japan ' In a Tokyo Department : store, people crowded around the Emper- or and Empress. Hirohito and his 'missus were there to look over the exhibits arranged for. Japan's first national' Newspaper Week. Although court attendants had never allowed correspondents to even talk with the Emperor in his previous tour around Japan, this time he shook hands with thc news- paper boys. "On the occasion of this celebra- tion of Newspaper Week" said the A. P. man, "I bring from the As- sociated Press, which is celebrating { chasc 'one quart of whiskey or a | | ite centennial anniversary, greetings from its worldwide organization which serves almost every Japanese newspaper." . The Emperor's reaction to the "plug" must have scemed rather chilling to the A.P. man. "Al, so; ah, so" he said. But the AP. man was game. "I hope your interest in Newspaper Weck observance is a happy augury that Japanese newspapers," he went on, "will continue to enjoy great freedom granted them under the new constitution." "Ah, 50," said Hirohito brightly, "Ah, so." Then the Emperor shook hands in farewell, and that was that. Every once in a while an aide would reach ov tse Imperial shoulder and wipe his brow with a silk handkerchief, All- that was lacking was a bunch of bobby soxers around begging for autographs--but democracy in Jap- an probably hasn't advanced to that stage yet. : Carbon-black, by-product of na- tural gas used in tire manufacture," Is just a variation of common soot.
