New York, Aug. 25.-(UP).-Si Ell Ranchero Victoria Campolo Derrota, a Ernie Schaaff Manana Por La Noche, Sus Esperanzas De Ganzar El Campeonato De Peso Pecado Harban Llegado a Flu Fin.
 And if we of the sporting fratern- ity MUST translate that for you, it means that if Victoria Cam polo doesn't get the lead out of his No. IT feet in his fight with Ernie Schaaf tomorrow night, he might just as well say bye-bye to his heavyweight hopes and get back to South America and cattle punch ing.
 For Ranchero Campolo and his 6 feet 6 1-2 inches and 233 pounds has been among us nearly five years now without having anything more to show for his stay than the un- ofioial rocking chair championship something like $15.000 in gilt edge debts, a wounded pride, and a couple of sore ribs.
 It is not that the big over-stuffed Muchacho has not had plenty of chances to prove his worth, if any, and make plenty of what it takes The truth is the biz Argentina has had nearly as many chances as Peggy Hopkins Joyce. But, unlike Miss Joyce, he has muffed them with a sterling consistency.
 He's n Boxer
 Speaking of Miss Joyce, Campolo might well adopt la Joyces motto (which she swiped from the north west boys) of "get your man." For what with his weight and height, Campolo would be a very dangerous baby, indeed. If only he would wade in from the bell. But Campolo, strong as a bull and just as smart refuses to step in there and fight 1t out, Instead, he stands up very straight-like, after the manner of monument, and trys to box. And if you have ever seen a water buff falo attempting a polka. you have seen Campolo Tn the throes of q boxing exhibition.
 Big and strong as he Is Campolo should be able to knock down a horse with on punch. That he doesn't pack n tremendous Wallop is due largely to his steadfast re- fusal to put his weight behind his punches. Someone ought to take the man out 10 a ball park and let nun stuuy tHe way Dltchcr puts his body behind q throw. For once the man masters the art of getting those 233 pounds behind his right hand, he is liable to knock many of our better citizens kicking.
 It's q Gift
 Watching Campolo manipulate that right hand of his. by the way, is almost as fascinating as watch ing a prctZel bender at work. After tying himself in three or four va rieties of knots, the big cowboy slowly unwinds. counts ten, rings a bell. and then-Zoowie. out she goes. The fact that his fist, nine time out of ten. lands on nothing more substa than air. only tends to heighten the effect of the ritual.
 Good or bad, to-morrows bout ts likely to go down in history as the battle Of the creaking brains. For like Campolo. Schaaf has thor oughly mastered the art of slow and 1aborious thinking. If the two men happen to think at the same time the din Is likely to be terrific. For when these two babies think, they think out loud. What we mean is you actually can hear the wheels go round.

Bank Robbers
 Still At Liberty
Break at Local Institution May Lead to Better Protection
 of Financial Houses

Leaving their machine parked but a short distance away the armed trio entered the bank shortly before 8 o'clock Wednesday evening and covering the three employees pres ent ordered them to hold up their hands and face the wall. Adolph Sanditz, treasurer, his son, A. Rob- ert Sanditz. vice-president and Louis D. Traurig, another official of the bank took two looks at the men, who had uttered the commands and realized that their experience was not to be considered too lightly. For a moment or two they looked upon the gruM orders as a joke, but after making mental appraisal of the men covering them they took no chances. One of the three scooped up the money and overlooked sev- eral thousands of dollars available. Earlier in the evening the bank had transferred $13,000 to the Citizens Manufacturers and the Merchants Trust company. It proved a most fortunate transaction.
 In view of the fact that the au- thorities of Southington and Moodus had a glimpse of the three suspects implicated in bank cases there, the police feel that they have the trio partially identified. The descriptions obtained may prove of value In a fu- ture investigation of the cases that have aroused the state and have led to drastic plans being considered here for better police protection of bank messengers.

 Aboard the Liner Empress or Japan, Gulf of Georgia, April IT, (UP).--King Prajadhipok of siam, progressive young absolute ruler of ten millions of people, was seriously i'll in the royal suite of the Empress of Japan as the liner .approached Vancouver to-day, the United Fress learned from an official source.
 A recurrence of malaria, an af- Aiction his majesty has been fight ing for a long period, in mid-Pacinc' caused his plans for departure from Vancouver to New York to be held in abeyance.
 If the king is well enough to be moved from his suite he Will be taken directly to his special train, It was learned, but 1t was thought pos- sfble that it might be necessary TOT him to remain in the seclusion or ms suite most of the day.
 There was no intimation that his majesty was in any grave immediate danger. but 1t is known that the re- current malarial attacks formed the basis of one of the reasons he wished to consult American doctors. Omciai- ly 1t had been announced that ne would consult eye specialists at Johns Hopkins hospital.
 When the liner docked at Victoria last night the king remained in se- clusion. He, was represented by Queen Rambai Barni and the Prince and Princess Svasti. the queens parents.
 The royal party planned 10 leave some time during the day aboard q special train on the Canadian Pacific, entering the United States at Portal. s. D., on the line of the Great Northern and proceeding without stop to New York.
 The king and queen are travelling incognito as the Prince and Princess Sukhodaya and therefore what re- captions. and function they attend need not attain regal formality. They may drop their incognito and be- come the rulers of Siam for one or two receptions in Washington and New York.

No new developments marked to- days police investigation of Wednes- day evenings sensational robbery at the bank of Sanditz & Traurig on North Main street where three armed youths succeeded in making a getaway with $3,625. Captain William P. Keegan, chief inspector of the local detective bureau, is of the opinion that the trio were in- volved in an attempted bank rob- bery in southington last Wednesday morning and possibly in the $5.0O0 raid made on 6 bank in Moodus.
 The hold-up was not the work of focal gangsters. the police declare. Witnesses have been found, who ob- served the men standing opposite the bank shortly before the robbery. They had studied conditions and had apparently decided that the To- cation and layout of this institution offered the best proposition in Wa tcrbury. AS events developed. 1t did.

NEW GOVERNMENT
 OF SPAIN PLANS
 MANY CHANCES
Senators Who Held Office for Life Are Done Church and State Affairs
 in for Radical Alterations
By JOHN DEGANDT United Press Stan CorrcspOp 1nnt

 Madrid, April 17-U;,--The provisional government of Niceto Alcala aZmora put into effect to-day its first measure for establishment of republican government in Spain.
 With comparatively normal con- ditions restored, the government adopted a decree dissoiving the per- manent section of parliament, which included 180 senators who held of- flee for life under the monarchy.
 By means of the senate, the throne had been able to retain conrtol of parliament under virtually any con- ditions, because the king was cer- tain of the loyalty of the life-ap- pointees. The chamber of deputies is elective.
 Simultaneously, the government indicated it's plans for changes in the relations of the church and state. although government minis ters emphasized that everything would be done respectfully.
 Until the meeting of a constitu- ent parliament, the government will make no radical changes in the re- disturb church property" the United Press was informed.
 The minister of justice. however, told church officials that the govern ment expected the church to adopt policies similar to those existing in other countries where the republics exist.
 "There will be liberty for all creeds and the cemeteries will be under jurisdiction of civil autohri- ties instead of ecclesiastics, because at present person who dies without confessing cannot be buried in church cemeteries" Minister of Jus tice Fernando De Los Rios said. "The concordat with the Vatican will be respected. We are not going to adopt class policies"
 He said that ecclesiastical author tiles with "conscientious scrupies' could protest to the papal nuncio and resign. Spain supported the clergy and properties of the church , under the monarchy and the consti- tuition provided that the government should support the church. The an- nual expenditure by the state for the church in 1929 was more than slS,- 100000.
 Other decrees adopted by the cabinet concerned plans for revision of legislation which was adopted under the dictatorship and which, for the most patr, was not In har- mony with republican ideals. Julio Carabias ealcede was made director of customs. The resignationg of the ambassadors of the crown to I,on- don, Paris, Brussels and elsewhere were accepted.
