Prospect street, carried many
hearty congratulations to the
ears Of the bowling dentist to-
day as a result of a perfect
score posted by Quill on the
Uptown alleys Wednesday
night during league competi-
ton. He is a member of the
Maytag Washer team.
Quill will be rewarded with
a gold medal and other prizes
for cracking the naples for
300, the coveted goal of all
boWlers. When the time ar
rived to roll the final ball with
the perfect count in sight,
Quill confessed he was a bit
shaky, and when the No. 6 pin
hesitated before falling he
nearly had a chill.
Many years ago Quilts
father, the late Leonard M.
Quill, missed the perfect goal
by one pin, scoring 299.

to mean that the large Italian freak
Is through as a performer in the
American prize ring. and that his
road TO gold brick riches has
reached a dead-end street with no
detours. Morally this is fine, dra-
matically it is bad 1t would have
been interesting TO see the vaga-
bond shower in there against Cam
polo, or, as was planned, against
Dempsey. Granting, Of course, that
nis being In there was on the level.
don't believe anybody should get ex-
cited about a moral action designed to
purge the prize fight racket. To begin
With, It isn't worth It. and besides most
actions Of this sort are based on political
convenience or embarrassing situations.
4
7 MEAN to say that the Primo and
i and his encourage have been
guilty of fraud in no greater de-
gree than a number Of other prize
fighters Of both domestic and for
eign origin. and that it is quite con-
ceivable that he might have con-
tinued serenely on his dollar-grab-
bling way without public protest II
he had been sent in right or ex-
ercised a more def manner Of OPP
GRAFTON.
The Indictment against the Primo on
the coast seems To be based mainly on the
fact that certain incxcuSabie crudities
cropped out in connection with his bur
Iesque routine. and in this day Of
make-believe and pretense In the ring a
certain artistry is not only expected by
the customers but demanded. Either
man must be a good fighter or good
actor and when II develops that he Is
neither. 90 follows inevitably that some
thing must be done about it.

Il Primo seriously. He was pre-
scented as a physical abnormality Of
much the same type as the sea COW

point where fish, mean the sort
Of fish that pay five Smackers for

His American debut in the garden
here was delightful. He came into
the ring wearing a sleeveless green
sweater coat and gargantuan
green cap. 1t was easy to like him.
Nobody ever presented a more
amiable appearance. His opponent
was Big Boy Peterson, a battered.

an awesome pose. There was brief
furry of action. The Big Boy
dropped and was counted out.
II was a good act. The customers had
been warned By the newspapers they
would see nothing more than an exhibit
ton. Nobody complained. torrent of
laughs boiled up from the exits as the
customers rolled out into the night air.
