who will succeed r. c. Job as
Secretary of the Elizabeth City
Chamber of Commerce? Nobody
knows. The newly elected board
of directors of the Chamber
hasn't yet elected a president and
nothing will be done about a
secretary until president has
been elected. Prominently men
toned for the presidency are j.
H. Leroy, Sr., ID. Walter Harris;
w. T. Culpepper.
Mrs. S. M. Bocttcher, president OF
the Carolina Real Estate Co., Is an
applicant for the SecretaryShlp.
Her application has not been serl-
ously considered by the directors
who think it is a mans job.
The directors of the Chamber are
M. Leigh Sheep. Miles Clark, G. w.
Gather. j. E. wilkins, w. T. Cul-
pcpper, w. r. Foreman, j. w. Fore
man and w. G.. Gather.
Secretary Job stepped out OF the
office Thursday night after career
Of seven years. When he took over
the office the Chamber was $4,000
in debt. He has cut the indebted
ness down to about $3.50 and paid
his salary to date. The Champer
is in arrears for rent in the sum OF
81 200. but a new membership drive
i seXpeCted to take care OF that item.
As this newspaper went TO press
Yesterday a movement was on foot
to raise a purse to buy Mr.. Job
a new Ford to ride to his new job
in. 1t would really take a bus to
transport his whole family. D. r.
Munden started the idea of buying
Job a Ford as an expression OF the
cCmmunitys appreciation OF his
services. But Mr.. Munden didn't
get very far with it. In the mean
time the Brunswick, Ga. newspapers
put out story that Job would come
to Brunswick in a new automobile,
the gift of a grateful Elizabeth
City populace. Job thinks it would
be rather humiliating to have to
go to Brunswick without new Ford
after that. And so yesterday a COM
mittee was at work trying to raise
the money to buy Mr.. Job car.
Elizabeth City loses Dick Job
reluctantly. In the seven years he
worked here he grew steadily with
his JOB and we'll earned his salary.
He has for several years been recog-
niZed as one of the most efficient
Chamber of Commerce secretaries
on the South Atlantic Seaboard.
That's why Brunswick, Ga, raised
his salary $1,000 per annum and
took him away from Elizabeth
City. Elizabeth City civic clubs,
RotarianS and KiwanianS, united
Tuesday night in giving big din
ner to the retiring Chamber of
Commerce secretary. Appreciation
of his distinguished services to the
town and section was voiced in
numerous speeches. And they made
him a present of beautiful travel
ing bag.

Snperiu1ties Of Modern Boxing Glo0es Haze
Resulted From the Experiments Of a
Iamous GloDemaker Who Nogo Provides
81 -
Is. LeatherzUare for Title Contests.

10 counts cried over the fallen forms Of gladia-
tors who served as the runners-up to cham
pions in their forge to battling ascendency.
With deer hair removed from the manufac-
turing picture, the boxing-glove makers had to
resort to curled horsehair as a rather unsatis-
factory substitute. Curled horsehair TO q GER
tain degree, Is an insulator OF sleep-carrying
blows. This padding material Is more sluggish
and less resilient than deer hair Science has
not yet devised q practical method Of record
ing the variations In the blows registered with
these two materials Veteran fighters and
trainers, however. viii tell you that there is
decided difference. Which. after all, may be
classed as just another alibi for the Industrial
stability of current commercial hghting-I tap
you, you tap me and we both will be on hand
unblemished at pay-on time after the fight Is
over.
The model room of the modern fight-glove
manufactury Is . repository of casts, models
and measurements of the hands of leading
European and American leather -pushers. These
accurate dimensions and models are used in
the satisfactory output of tailormade fighting
gloves. The model room resembles Similar
quarters in the leading base bali bat factories
One concern in Louisville, for example. keeps
on hand some $50 models of base ball blud-
geons-infinitesimally accurate and nodded to
the likes and dislikes of many major and
minor league players Whenever one of the
knights Of the diamond breaks favorite bat
and desires q duplicate, he wires the factory.
The new bat Is made expeditiously from the
model on hand at the plant and shortly Is
speeding by parcel-post special delivery to its
destination
The same story is repeated nowadays at the
leading boxing-gove manufactures. The pro-
ducers refer directly to clenched- -knuckle molds
and models and to carefully filed measurements
when professional pugilist sends In a hurry
telegram for new mitts. Just as the architect
provides detailed blueprints and plans to aid
the contractor in building your new home, or
mine the measurements and models Of pugilis-
tic palms and digits govern modern boxing
glove production
Evening star., 1929-06-30

The fighting gloves of the champions and
their adversaries are made of the finest lamb
skin, which Is oiled and tanned expressly for
that purpose. Perchance Mary's little lamb
was sacrificed when James j. Corbett was in
flower as q perfect fighting machine, SO that
he was able to use the resultant glove in the
scientific conquest Of notorious John L. Sulli-
van.
TEN square feet of the best quality lambskin
was used in making the set of 6-ounce
fighting mittens which Schmeling and Pauline
will use In their milk fund bout, the critical
heavyweight engagement of the current season.
New York State is different from her AZ sisters,
in that she requires the use Of 6-ounce gloves
in such athletic contests Five-ounce gloves
are recognized as heavy enough for the modern
art Of modified murder in most other Ameri-
can cities.
Leather for the front and back of the glove
is measured and marked carefully, and then is
cut to exact measurement. Canvas lining Is
employed. because 1t absorbs perspiration read
lily end dries out soft and pliable after severe
use. Special Irish linen thread, resembling
that used In the production OF archery bow
Evening star., 1929-06-30

strings, is employed in sewing the different
parts of the fighting gloves together.
The curled horsehair used as padding is
weighed carefully delicate scales. Usually
q 6-ounce glove, such as Herr Schmeling wil
wear, is padded with ounces of curled horse
hair, while the leather, canvas, thread and
lacing cords constitute the other ounces of
ring-glove weight. Only the finest quality hair
from old Dobbin and his mates is chosen for
use in the knuckle covering for the champion
fighters.
The boxing gloves of modernity are wonder
full improvements over the brass knuckles"
used by the early Roman boxers, who were
originators of the squared circle sport The ees-
tus or hand harness of those ancient gladiators
consisted Of heavy leather thongs weighted with
lead and iron This armor, for it was nothing else
but, covered the hand and forearm Of the fight-
er. The Roman boxers specialized in fiail-Iike
swinging blows. 1t was not infrequent for one
of the early pugilists to lose all his teeth as q
result Of catching" one OF these gargantuan
wallops full in the mouth. Those turbulent days
were unquestionably the hatchery Of the ring
term Knocked him cold" for the boxer, who
survived such a pummeling must have been re-
inforced with steel concrete.
