COMMENT ON
SPORT WORLD

United Press Staff Correspondent

DAYTONA BEACH. Fla. Feb. s.
Boxing, said Vesper Duckworth
from his seat on the sunny side of
the pier, rs a dirty racket l could
come doggone close To kicking my
self around the block every time
I think of how I cult a good job
selling shoes TO manage a prize
fighter. In the shoe business you
meet up with a lot of good fellows,
but this boxing is just a great big
mess of chiselers, entirely sur
rounded by crooks.
Why, then, one of Vesper Duck
Worth's listeners asked didn't he
sever relations with the cauliflow-
er industry and return to his
shoes?
Because he answered, I'm too
proud. I'm going to stick with it
until I make my boy light-heavy-
weight champion of the world. I'll
show those chiSelerS something.
You know. of course, who my boy
is. I guess everybody's heard of
Joe knight, the Cairo clouter. He
was born in Cairo, Ga. Dempsey
saw him fight in Knoxville last
year and told me he was the heavi-
est hitter for his pounds he ever
saw"
We asked Vesper Duckworth if
Joe had ever shown in Madison
Square garden.
mo. and maybe he never will, >"
he said. Funny place that garden.
I've been asked to bring Joe up
there but-and this is the funny
part-never by Jimmy Johnston,
manager of the place. I get letters
from lots of other people saying
they can get Joe in, but I know
what that means. They want a
cut of his purses. And I won't stand
for that. Why do you know, l never
started taking a cut myself until
this year? For four years l hauled
him around in my car and gave
him every cent of every purse. I
figured he needed it worse than I
did. This year 1 knew that was
impossible, so 1 started taking a
little bit"
At this point Vesper Duckworth
reached into his pocket and pro-
duced a letter from President
Brown of the National Boxing as
sociation, in which Brown pro-
missed TO do everything in his pow
er to have Make Rosenbloom,
light-heavyweight champion, meet
Joe in title match.
And if he does" said Vesper
Duckworth, "Joe1l kill Make. He
liked to kill him here last year. He
took every round but the sixth. He
would have taken that one, too,
only I told him to take it easy and
save his strength for the seventh.
Next time I won't tell him any
thing"
We plan to watch Vesper's boy
Joe against Battling Bozo of Bir-
mingham here Friday night.

Racers Aide
Gets Nervous
By HENRY MeLEMORE


DAYTONA BEACH, Fla, Feb. 8.
Jumping through the side OF 6
burning dirigible in black darkness,
without the comfort of knowing
whether you were jumping 10 feet
CT 10000, would seem the ultimate
in suspense.
But Harry Leech says it isn't
and Harry ought to know. 1t was
just such a jump on that dark
and stormy night above Beauvais,
France, several years ago that
made him one of the six survivors
Of the Inflated R-101. Harry, here
as a mechanic with Sir Malcolm
Campbell, says his most anxious
moments were not those when we
plunged through the flaming fab
ric of the R-i01 to land in the top
of a tree, but rather those moments
he has spent on the south end Of
Daytona Beach waiting for the
Skipper" to finish his drives down
the sands in search of the world S
automobile speed record.
1T gets me like nothing else,
2 y
Gay as he helped ready the mighty
Bluebird. "It gets me all the time,
but it gets me worse en- those days
when the wind is coming my way
and I can follow him all along
the course by the scream of the
motor. I tell you it seems an eter-
nifty, those few seconds from the
!, fa1r nr ha ini
the south rum
You see, we mechanics feel sort
of responsible for the Skipper, for
he leaves the business of readying
the car strictly up to us. OF course
he makes suggestions now and
then, but when we say it's ready,
it's ready enough for him. He just
puts his life in our hands. And
none of us can keep from thinking
as he makes a run, how terrible
/ IL would be if something one of us
had failed to do caused the Skipper
! 20 come to a sticky end"
Had he ever seen the skipper"
close TO a sticky end.
IN never forget that time in
Denmark when he came by at 140
and both back tires flew off. I
thought he was done for when the
car went into deep broadside
skid, but he pulled it out all right
and on his next run he liked to
have got it again when a front
tire blew off. That was the tire
that spun off the course and killed
a youngster who was watching the
run"

Chinese Boxer
Wins OUer Coher,

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 6. W.P)-
Keeping up q smashing left hand
ed attack in every round, All Wing
Lee, Portland Chinese lightweight,
won a 10 round decision over
Mickey Cohen, Denver, intermoun-
tain titlist, here last night.
Lee entered the ring at 1877.
Cohen weighed 139.
Cohen was floored by Lees left
swings in the third but was saved
by the bell. The left sent him to
the canvas again in the fourth but
he rebounded without a count.
The Denver boxer battled game
~ to the end and was in the midst
of a furious exchange at the final
bell.

specially designed to restore and main

The law contemplates in general that
wages be raised and maintained at an
adequate level; so that those who labor
shall be able to buy and consume ac-
cCrding to reasonable and rising
standard; that hours Of labor shall be
reduced, so that greater numbers may
be employed and the purchasing power
accordingly distributed. Codes of fair
practices" are the backbone Of the
measure.
These codes are to be formulated by
the respective industries, and, after they
have been approved by the President,
every firm in the industry will conform
its conduct to the code or suffer the
severe penalties prescribed by the law.

are explicitly forbidden.

Stresses Balance.
Experience has taught us something
about the organic nature Of society. We
know We cannot fairly deal with the
claims Of a particular group without
knowledge and appreciation of its effect
upon other interests in our society.
We may not be partial to the interest
Of the debtor, nor to the interest of the
creditor. We must deal with the wncle
social interest. of which the debtor
forms one part and the creditor an
other.
It used to be said that declamations

was naturally dependent upon capital,
that capital was Independent Of labor.
In . less closely integrated society
than ours. where large markets existed
for the products Of industry outside of
producers themselves, where the major
portion Of the products Of industry
could be exported or sold to a wealthy
class at home. where the domestic la
boring population did not furnish the
major portion Of the consumption de-
mand, in such a condition labor might
be said to be dependent on capital.
in this country.
Practically the whole population
forms a great national industrial system
which must look to those who serve
either as employees or as suppliers Of
raw materials, to buy its finished prod
ucts. Capital has thus become in a
different but real sense dependent
upon labor. If labor is unemployed,
there will be too few purchasers for the
goods which capital owns or produces.
Therefore, II sufficient purchasing
power is to be found, labor must be
employed. An understanding of this
fundamental fact lies at the base Of
the industrial recovery act.
The Federal agency charged with
the duty of administering title one Of
the law is the National Recovery Ad-
ministration. This agency is fortu-
nate in having as its administrator
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson. a brilliant,
forceful executive. a skilled and ex-
perienced investigator Of facts, a keen
analyst, and an inspiring master of
the art Of getting things done. The
President has associated with this
agency, in the manner of a board of
directors. the Special Industrial Re-
covery Board. This board comprises
the Secretary of Commerce, the A.
torney General. the Secretary of In
terror. the Secretary of Agriculture,
the Secretary Of Labor. the chairman
of the Federal Trade Commission, the
director Of the budget, and Gen. john
son, administrator of the act.
Based on Self lf-Government.
The recovery administration will
function upon the basic principle of
industrial self government. Gen. john

Committee, and Consumers Advisory

! tunity to contribute ideas and to CO.

ton. lashed to frenzy by the disasters
Of depression. had drawn us all to the
brink Of economic chaos.
Now, competition possesses imperish-
able virtues: Normally it provides
stimulus and incentive to better and
greater service to mankind. However,
| we have found that the adage Com
petition is the life Of trade" is ap-
plicable only under firm and normal
economic conditions. It most emphati-
cally is not true under conditions such
as existed these past four years. We
have seen that competition can be the
death Of trade. circumstances alter
cases."
Reckless, unconfined competition to
convert goods and property into cash,
all trade. Moreover. it places ethical
business at the mercy of unscrupulous
business. This kind of competition
quickly creates a condition analogous
TO that caused by what financiers and
statesmen know as "Gresham's Law
namely, that bad money drives out
good" A few evil or short-sighted
operators, resorting to bad or vicious
practices, were compelling the host of
honest, conscientious business men
either to follow suit" or to shut up
shop. Enormous social injury was the
result. Right-thinking business men
could not unite to correct the situation,
because CT our antitrust laws.
Prosperity could not return while
these conditions continued. One can
not plan or build in chaos, or .teer
safely through a descending whirl-
pool. As purchasing power diminished,
what remained was being devastated,
hacked away, by imposition Of the
sweat-shops starvation wages and the
callous depredations Of the business
racketeer.
Abrupt Halt Needed.
| An abrupt halt had to be called. The
movement had to be reversed. Reason,

would suffice. There was compelling
need for a sweeping fundamental

random and ill-considered ventures.
1t provides the means for preventing
excess that results in erratic and un-
predictable shifts The law recognizes
that the most valuable asset to Ameri-
can business is initiative. Neither the
law nor its proposed administrator
contemplates sacrificing this. On the
contrary. the law authorizes means for

act is not a hobble upon industry.
Moreover, it opens up fresh fields for

Endorsement For Hayes

The democratic town committee could have done nothing better than endorse the administration of Mayor Frank Hayes and request him to run again this year at its ban quet this week. In Mayor Hayes the demo- crats of the city have an executive who rangs favorably with long line of able democratic leaders. He is not politician by profession but is a businessman. As such he is as fully acquainted with the woes and worries that beset the taxpayers of this city. It is to his credit that he has maintained that taxes must continue to drop in Water bury no matter what must be sacrificed.
 We feel confident that the public of Wa terbury will display the same spirit next Oe tober as it has for the past two city elections. Despite open and secret criticism of this city We have managed to make considerable prog reSs. We were for a long time held up to the rest of the state as an example of muni- cpal ineficiency. However, Waterbury to- day seems to be just bit better off than the same cities that few years back were gazing at us with round eyes. We make this state ment with no attempt at boosting. It is pure statement of facts
 Hard times haven't skipped Waterbury. We naturally feel the full effect an indus trial depression, highly industrialized as we are. But in spite of this fact we are still fac ing the future with courage and the realization that the city is in far safer hands | 4 .1- present administration were ruling. The party that is in must bear the brunt of var- ious attacks. Its members, no matter their status in the community are all daubed with one common brush Fortunately for all of us Waterbury has fine sense of humor. not to mention fair play. That same sense of fair play will no doubt carry Mayor Hayes and his democratic administration through its third successful campaign this fall.
