One For The Book

Enough things to make Rodin's statue of The Thinker come to life happened in about an hour last night at the New Haven Arena to formulate the question: "Why Is Boxing?" The outcome of it all, as you might have learned to ex- pect by this time, was that that doughty take it on the chinner" John Q. Public, whose head is bloody but still unbowed got decid- edly the worst of the deal all the way round. He and nearly 2,500 others of his ilk paid about $2,000 to see Tony Shucco of Boston de- fend his alleged light heavyweight championship of New England against Al Gainer, the state light heavy and heavyweight champion. John and his pals saw about ten minutes of action, with Gainer very much on the short end of things. They also saw three foul blows and the end of the bout came like a stroke of lightning.
 Though a fighter cannot win a
 decision on foul blows by his ops
 pOnent in Connecticut the Ob-
 viOus situation was that Shucco
 got the nod because Gainer hit
 him low three times, which was
 very true. But Referee Billy
 Taylor raised ShuccO's arm. giv-
 ing him the decision. though the
 official decision was later an-
 nOunced as a disqualification.
 Apparently, when Taylor, a
 young and honest man. saw
 Gaincr hit low three times. and
 the third time after strong
 warning that he (the rcfcrce)
 would stop the bout. he thought
 of penallzing Gaincr as quickly
 as possible, and he did that in a
 twinkIing of an eye. by raising
 ShuccO's arm as quick as you
 could snap a whip.
 Now, my friends, here's the pay off. Commissioner Tom Donahue, Referee Taylor and the handlers of both fighters had a conference after the bout as to the official de- cision, the money the fighters would or would not get, and the possibility of the next bout. After all concerned agreed on a disqual- fication. because of the state rule on fouls, the question of money came up. COMMISSIONER DON AHUE INSISTED THAT TAYLOR. THE R E F E R E E. DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT GAMER SHOULD BE PAID. Taylor was shocked to a standstill when the commissioner told him he was the one to decide on the money ques- ton, which is passing the buck in de luxe manner. as boxing commits sions always have, and always will decide on payment to a boxer who has performed unsatisfactory serv- ice. Taylor, feeling that he was in enough trouble for one night, ALLOWED GAMER TO BE PAID, both boxers got their money, aside from a forfeit to fight again in six weeks, and the fans got the well known works for the nine teen millionth time. So you tell me-just why is boxing?

With those words, Alfred C.
Read, jr., dapper young Oakland
broker, was preparing today to
take the witness stand for the
defense in Mrs. Marian Reads
100000 alienation of affections
suit against the golden haired
actress.
Read promises to tell all he
can about his relations with both

affections were not alienated by
Miss Windsor. He said:
Certainly my love wasn't
stolen by Miss Windsor. My
wife and I discussed divorce
before I ever met the film
star"
Mrs. Reads attorneys, how
ever, think Reads testimony con-
corning his spectacular kidnap-

alienation suit was filed will be
of benefit to Mrs. Read.
At that time, the defense
brought out last Friday, Mrs.
Read resumed marital relations
with her husband. Mrs. Read ad-

FELONS
SURROUNDED
IN CANEF|ELD
Prison Farm Chief Wounded,
Two Guards and Convict
Die in Daring Break

ANGOLA PRISON FARM, La,
Sept. II G.N.S0.-Eleven escaped
convicts were at large today in a
sugar cane field south Of here
after shooting their way out Of
the prison in a riotous break
that claimed the lives Of two
guards and a convict.
Three hundred possemen, aug
mented by squads Of State high
way patrolmen sent by Governor
o. K. Allen, we're in close pursuit.
Prison officials announced that
the desperadoes, all long term
convictS, were surrounded in the
sugar cane field, where they
sought refuge.
Captain Shot Down
Twelve prisoners staged the
break during visitors hour when
a baseball game was in progress
between TRUSTEES and convicts.
Drawing improvised pistols, they
ordered Capt. John Singleton, in
charge of the camp, to accom-
pany them or be murdered.
Singleton defied them, and one
of the convicts shot him through
the abdomen, seriously wounding
him.
Next the desperadoes shot and
killed Alfred Davis, trusty guard,
and j. w. Fletcher, guard, and
looted the prison armory of guns
and ammunition. The convicts
jumped into an automobile and
roared through the prison gate,
firing into the baseball crowd as
they escaped and wounding five
persons.
One Dies, Another Shot
Answering volleys fired by
guards killed one of the escaping
felons and wounded another as
the automobile sped off. The
body of the dead convict, William
Stone, 28, of Dallas, Tex, was
found later in the abandoned
automobile near the farm.
Telephone wires leading from
the prison had been cut, prevent
ing the sounding of an immediate
alarm.
Prison authorities were taking
all possible precautions while clos
ing in on the beleaguered con-
victs, inasmuch as the desperadoeS
were well armed with shotguns
and rifles.
Posse leaders were confident the
convicts could not make a geta-
way, as the prison farm is in an
isolated section on the Mississippi
River which can be reached only
by a 26-mile single outlet road.
Guards patrolled all possible ave-
nues of escape toward New
C1ptain Singleton, critically
wounded, was taken aboard
special train to a Baton Rouge
hospital.
The hundreds of witnesses to
the break said the convicts ap-
parently followed a well-ordered
plan.

Brewer Junction, Me, Oct 23.-- (UP)-Two Massachusetts women "a mother and daughter-were killed and four relatives were in- jured, at least one of them critical ly, when the automobile in which they were riding stalled and was demolished by a railroad train on an unprotected grade crossing near here to-day. The dead:
 Mrs Hannah Milton, 56, Maiden, Mass.
 Mrs Edith G. Benard, 27, Mall den, her daughter.
 Those injured were
 Hartwell Benard, 27, husband of Editlh,
 Milton Benard, 1.
 Charlotte Benard, IS months.
 Isaac Benard, 5S, father of Hart well.
 Milton was taken to the Eastern Maine general hospital at Bangor, where his condition was believed critical because of internal in iuries. The other victims were taken to Russell hospital, private institution at Brewer.
 The accident occurred during . fog at Whltlng alil crossAhs, wv miles from Brewer Junction, when the automobile skidded and stalled on. the tracks. Hartwell Benard and his father 1eaped out and tried to push the car out of the path or passenger train, bound from Bangor to Calais, but before they could do so the crash occurred.
 Maine Central railroad officials said that while the crossing is un- guarded, there is clear view in both directions at that point. and that the usual locomotive whistle and bell warnings were given prior to the accident.
