VERSE
 AND WORSE
By Al Jackson

POLICE! POLICE!
 Being police commissioner in Bridgeport is not without it's merits. You get a lot of pub hcity on either end - meaning whenever you slam the other con1nish or the other commish slams you.
 Hereafter, all meetings of the police board will be held in Crawford's laundry. The mem berS will roll up thei sleeves, break out a liberal dose of soap studs, and spend the evening washing dirty linen
 Old John Redg was slipped a special high pressure dose of air because he had a bank book. No cop is supposed to have one of these little books. The only time a cop is allowed to enter a Bridgeport bank is when he's sent there to arrest the cashier.
 Now that the commish is run ming the department, Supt. Pat Flanagan findeS himself about as useful as one of Dave Beach's wheels. He is standing around Ike chorus man in the Zelg- field Follies and praying for the curtain to drop.
 Conmish Anderson says that Con1Tnish Stanley is the little tin Buddha of the department. He removes superintendents as fast as a happer removes her extra eyebrows before checking. off a date to inhale chicken sub gum at the Canton restaurant. But cutting off the heads of the cops k no easy matter. Most of 'em haven't got any heads.
 "A policeman's lot is not a happy one" You tell 'em, face cloth, you've travelled over the map. One day a cop is a cop. The next day he doesn't know what he is. He is liable to be out in uniform and have the tin can rattled at headquarters. Then they can arrest him for imper- sonating an officer.
 Impersonating cop is a seri- ous crime Anybody whose shoes grow like a grouch of a 50-cent gas meter sufferer can be picked up for that offense any day.
 In the meantime, Connie Lewis is entering the bidding, and 1t may happen that the next Police commish fight will be pulled at the Arena

 The wrestlers went at their work cautiously at first Caddock kept himself moving most of the time and made it evident from the start that he intended to match the headlock with his speed and skill Caddock. who has won the name of the man with a thousand holds, showed from the start a decided preference for an arm lock which he used ire qCently.
 The men had been on the mat but a few minutes when Caddock clamped on an arm lock and forced Lewis to- ward the mat, but the big champion broke the hold before he was in seri ous danger. Caddock was quick to put it right back on again, and again Lewis broke loose. The champion then got his first opportunity to ges a headlock-

Leaving 1t

By lodges and bitches, by
labor or fraud, we gather up
riches, an elegant wad; the roll
we are showing has made life a
grind; and then when we're 60
ing we leave it behind. All, that
is the dickens, the sting and the
smart. 1t saddens and sickens
the miserly heart. To leave all
the plumber for others to blow!
What marvel, what wonder we
wall in our woe? The short
sighted niggard saves till he
must die, and l will be jiggered
ii l can see why; amusement he
lodges, all fun he eschews, and
drearily' lodges down there by
the news; to harvest a nickel
his form he'll exhaust ; his life is
a pickle, a fluke and a frost. In
Golfers he's slowing all coin he
can find, and then when he's 60
ing he leaves it behind. The last
of his journeys has borne him
abroad, and gifted attorneys
camp down on his wad. And
wastrels and spenders, his heirs
and their kin, for frivolous
splendors dispose of his tin. So
it is with grieving the tightwads
depart, their large bundles leav-
ing, the Joy of each heart. But
over the river no bundles are
known, no miser hearts quiver
at sight of a bone. Some silvery
pieces I've salted away, to COM
fort my nieces when. I'm in the
clay; but not in my keeping such
treasure you'll find, that l might
be weeping to leave it behind.
