The Reds could do little with the

.GAYETY SHOWS
BERLENBACH

District sports followers will have
their first peek Of Paul Berlenbach
in action tonight. However, they
will not see the one-time king Of
the light.heavyweights as a boxer,
but will view him in the role of
wrestler for the former pugilist
is to tackle Jack Maxos, Greek
mailman, in a heavyweight wrestling
duel tonight at the Gayety Theater.
Seem, liken boxing and wrest-
ling as kindred and wrestlers have
turned boxers while the latter have
turned grapplers. Long also has
debate ragged as to who would win
IL wrestler should meet a boxer.
Nevertheless, Berlenbach toiled on
the mat before he cast his hooks
into the boxing pastime where he
arose to the top in short order. He
has brought back into the wrestling
game some of the tricks he learned
In the ring.
Berlenbach. it is said, wrestles
along the order of Dynamite"
Gus SOnnenberg, the heavy
weight champion. SOnnenberg
employs q butt imported from
the football field. while Berlen-
bach uses half Jolt comparable
to q short jab in the ring. These
tactics are perfectly permissible
and within the rules of the
wrestling game, although some
times termed as rough abuse.
Although Berlenbach is a shiftier
wrestler today for he has learned
to protect himself from his warfare
in the squared circles where one
must be cautions every second If
he doesn't want to be clipped on
the jaw by smoking punch that
might terminate the bout. This
has also made Berlenbach an inn
proved wrestler, and District sports
enthusiasts are expecting to see
whiriwind match tonight for Maxos,
his Greek opponent, Is no schoolboy

The worst exploitation we have ever
seen anywhere is to be found on the
truck farms Of California, Oregon,
and Washington. Employment agen-
eies work hand in hand with the rich
truck farmers, singning young
workers to contracts which rob them
Of their rights as human beings.
For the jobs they are charged
fee of a dollar and often more to
slave from dawn to dusk for the
most miserable wages.
The young workers are employed
as pickers of cucumbers. berries,
scps, etc. They are forced to sign
contracts with provisions like the
