JIMMY Wins BOUT
Boston Goes Wild Over Victory
Of Its PaYOrite Son

Boston, Feb. 10 CF-While Tom
Maloney, father of Bostons newest
boxing king. presumably howled his
glee from ringside seat. Mrs. Ed
ward James Maloney quietly listened
with a few relatives and friends to
the blow by blow radio description
of her husbands triumph over Jack
Delaney in Madison Square Garden
last night.
Boston seemed slow to realize that
overnight it had become the home OF
a promising heavyweight champion
ship contender. Newspaper Row was
filed with several thousand bulletin
board addicts when the main bout
was called, and the yell that greeted
the decision gave an indication of
what may come when Maloney re-
turns.
The home coming Of the more
rabid friends and fans, who went to
New York to watch their idol in the
flesh. Is expected to start the celebra-
ton ball rolling. and before long it
seems certain that the customary red
fire will burn in the streets of south
Boston. the Maloney birthplace.
Out in Dorchester, In the Maloney
apartment, Mrs. Maloney was the
calmest person in the house when
the announcer cut loose from the
ringside. With her year old daugh-
ter. Claire, sitting on her lap, she
listened without change of express
sion until the announcer told her
that her husband had taken two
hard ones on the face" Her troubled
look fed, however, at the news that
Jim was still as handsome as ever"
When the final flash came, Mrs. Ma
loney stole away a moment to see
that the hilarity had not disturbed
baby Ruth, 10 months old sleeping
upstairs.
"Of course I'm glad Eddie won,"
was her final comment. II never
doubted he would and it's just one
more step toward more important
victories

When the Lord made the world he made Asia. Africa, and Europe. and last of all h" made Nosth and south America. He made the Amer icas with special care. as that is the place where the nations of the world would finally come together When the Lord was making New EneIanI. one of the little angels asked that he too might make state. So the Lord let him make the statr of Con necticut. AS the little angel shaped the rivers ana built up the noun tains, his checks were rcd with ex- element. But whom his work was nearly finished there was d Iargr hollow and the material was all gone. Then the little angel was overwhelmed with confusion But the Lord took him kindly hy the hand, and the Lord took from tho folds of his mantle some of the stuff of which Paradise is made and he fitted i, into the hole and the place was Pennington"

FIRE DRILL TOWER
 PROVES ITS VALUE
Being Used Daily in Practice by
 "Smoke Eaters"

Although in use only a few weeks, the modern drill tower in the rear of No. [ fire station on Stanley street, is already beginning 10 prove its worth as the smoke caters go through their paces in regular classes in charge of First Deputy Chief Eugene F. Barnes, veteran in the department and one of the most capable drill masters in the state, according 70 those familiar with this important feature Of the work of fire departments
 For years the local department was sorely handicapped because of lack of proper training facilities and the men in the ranks were awaiting the opportunity 10 drill under condi- tions comparable 10 those in larger cities, being fully confident that they were possessed of the qualfi- cations necessary for high ranking If only they were given the right sort of equipment on which to work
 The old tower in the rear of the Commercial street fire station was

She had never been photographed and on the night when she was sched- uled to leave the jail. a great num- Der of photographers were assigned from the various newspapers to get her picture. The men station ed themselves in all parts of the court house and they wanted in vain. throughout one entire after noon for her to appear.
 Finally the camera men were all lowed to enter the court house and they searched every room in an ef- fort to find the woman who was trying to get out of the building without being snapped. Rose was stationed in the main corridor and the woman finally came down the main stairway. Quick use of the flash" and he had taken the pie ture. Several other photogra phers attempted to get pictures. but Roses was the only one that turned out well.
 It is Mir. Roses opinion that the more important a person is, the fetter he treats photographers. The small fry are likely to stage scenes and 10 raise objections but the big timers are usually gracious and they acCede readily and good na- turedly to the wishes of the camera men.

inadequate in every respect, yet the drilling was done to the best of the ability of the men and the drill master who strove to overcome the disadvantages of the crowded quar- ters in which they were obliged to work.
 Chief Barnes, who served in the New York fire department for sev- cral weeks for the purpose of ob- serving the methods employed in the metropolis, has arranged a schedule of training at the tower. which has made possible its con- stant use without crippling the man power of the companies on duty. One man from each company is taken and the various phases of fire fighting for which the tower is equipped are taught. The training is Of value 10 all the firemen, regard less of the length Of time they have been in the department. The young CT men are naturally more active than the veterans and all who have used the tower are said to be show ing marked improvement In their work.
 Correct handling of the ladder and hose will always be a vital fac tor In fire fighting, in the opinion of those well versed in the work, who point out that despite the phy- sique, the strength, and the willing ness of fireman, he cannot render the maximum of service unless he possesses at least fair knowledge of the manner in which the equip ment is handled. Finding himself In tight place. when perhaps human lives as well as property depend upon his ability 10 do the right thing without a moments delay, the we'll trained man will be worth more than an entire squad of hard work CTS who do not know what they arc about.
