slipped, in avoiding a Paolino rush
during the sixth round and sprainetl
his ankle. He was limping notice
ably when he arose. Only his
knowledge of ring lore enabled
Loughran to last out the round.
Tommy punched better than in
any previous New York appear

sharp left hooks and jolting rights.
Meanwhile his own boxing skill
enabled him 10 avoid the majority
Of Paolinos returns and to take
the fight by a wide margin.

INVESTIGATION
ESSENTIAL. PART
IN RELIEF WORK

Rehabilitation rather than pau
! perization of individuals and fam
lies is one of the chief aims of the
Red Cross and is achieved through
an excellent system of case investi-
CATION said Mrs. =. II. Mitchell
and, in my opinion, is one of the
| strongest appeals the organization
| makes to those who have a genuine
interest in helping the unfortunate.
There IS something haphazard
and ineffective in dispensing any,
thing but emergency relief without
a thorough investigation. It does
no actual good to continue to help
people without knowing whether or
not they really need aid. It is I'M
fair to the taxpayer who must bear
the financial burden. An. attempt
should be made to send them to
relatives or friends or to COM
munities actually responsible for
caring for them That is what the
Red Cross does.
The Red Cross makes a thorough
investigation of each case and
makes every effort to find employ
ment for the individual or the head
of the family.
Il am firm believer of return
ing charitable cases to communities
where they belong, where they have
established legal residence. It is a
waste of time and money to hurry
them on to the next stop where
they will be as strange as they are
here. They will soon be back from
their wandering to appeal for mere
aid to get somewhere else.
Cites Example
There was the instance where 2.
man appealed to the local Red Cross
chapter for aid in getting to
Phoenix where he said work and
his family awaited him. InYestiga-

He was sent to relatives in Los

him in finding work and caring for

could do SO himself He was legal
resident of that city and county and

THE Red Cross took him from
the pauper class and provided him
with an opportunity to rehabilitate
himself and care for his dependents

BY JIMMY GREENE

That boxing rams in Imperial
Valley have been rather hungry for
the game was indicated last night
when crowded house saw the first
card of the season at the Imperial
Valley Athletic club.
On the whole the card was good
one, offering plenty of variety,
though Young David's inability TO
do anything with Santiago Gorilla
in the main event was rather dis
appointing.
Gorilla played with his smaller
and more inexperienced opponent
for 10 rounds and left no doubt in
the minds of the ringsiders that he
could have knocked out the little
Filipino at any stage of the game
II he SO wished. That he did not do
50 would stamp the colored boy as
vpretty good sportsman. He would
have gained nothing by scoring a
knockout and such an ending might
have had a disastrous effect on
David, who, after all, has given some
mighty good fights here and ought
to be able to give some more.
Gorilla gave a splendid exhibition
of boxing. 1t was something more
than that He was trying to give
the fans some semblance of a fight
without knocking out David and for
n boy to go through 10 rounds pull
ing his punches and sparing his oD-
ponent, at the same time giving
him enough to make a battle of it..
considerable skill is required.
David tried hard to do something,
but he was up against past mas
ter OF the game. The Filipinos
favorite body attack was futile. for
the colored boy kept his arms down
low where he could catch most of
the body blows on his elbows
When David tried for the jaw 70
rilla would duck or block with his
shoulder.
While David gave him no oppo-
sition to speak Of, zorillas exhibit
ton told why so few of the light
weights want anything to do with
him. He's just plain tough and can

Twelfth Annual X. of P. Picnic
To Be Held Here September Z

Plans for the twelfth annual Labor

grove, on the outskirts of Oakland,
Monday, September z, are shaping up,
and according to the committee this

No. lib, Knights of Pythias.
The new Plymouth two door sedan
to be given away, can be seen now on
the street in front of the First Ma
tional Bank in Oakland.
The Weaver Park Attractions of
Pittsburgh, Pa, will furnish the
amusement, with a merry-go-round,
ferris wheel and chair plane. There
will also be dancing pavilion on the
grounds for afternoon and evening
dancing.
From all indications the big fea-
ture parade, to move over the city
streets promptly at ten o'clock a. m.
will be larger in every way than here
tofore. The music this year will be
furnished by three military bands and
three or more drum corps, including
Oakland's junior drum corps, COM
posed of 40 boys of grammar school
age. This is the only boys drum
corps in this section of the country.
There will be many floats, trades
displays, comic features, clowns, fire
departments, richly decorated auto
mobiles and fraternal organizations
in the parade and at the picnic
ground and in addition there will be
a fireworks display at night.

SelbyspOrt Boy Presented With
500 at All Club Week Meeting
At College Park Last Week
KNOWN FOR POTATO WORK

Merle Garletts, of Selbysport, was
awarded a $10O scholarship offered by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany to the outstanding All Club boy

road. The award was made at the
All Club week activities at College
Park last week. Elizabeth Lisky, of
Washington county, won the $500
award for girls.
Merle Garletts, 16 years old, is best
known for his influence on potato club
work in his community, his potato
crop in 1929 being the source of GER
titled seed for six farmers in this
county that year. He has been win
ming prizes annually since 1929, when
he won first prize at the Tri-State Po-

such scholarships to farm boys and
girls in the States of Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Maryland and Delaware, of
which approximately seventy-five

ing college in the states named.
These scholarships have been won
while the contestants were still in
high school, and in each case have
been deposited in the name of the
winner, thus earning interest until
such time as he or she is ready to use
it for scholastic purposes. In some
instances the original 500 has been
increased by interest to about $130 by
the time the winner was ready to en-
ter college. .
