jaw which started it to swell.
Galento scored to Marty's body
and face as the first round
ended.
Galento Tries for Kill
Galento caught Marty flush
on the jaw as the second opened
and Marty took a count of nine.
Marty got up, circled and
Galento had him on the ropes
and down again for the count
of nine with more 1efts to the
head. Gallagher's nose Spurted
red and he was no sooner UP
the second time than he was
dropped for the third count of
nine, Galento rushing him with
rights and lefts to the body
rather than further damage
Martyrs countenance.
Galento was furious and lay
ing 'em in for the kill, but
some superhuman influence
seemed to keep Gallagher on
his feet, although he leaned
heavily on his foe until the
gong ended the SkirmiSh.
Marty was a little more him.
self and went to work on
Galento's body in the third,
showing Tony up a bit. Marty's
nose seemed to be pushing over
on one side of his face and
was bleeding terrifically. They
both landed body blows in mid
ring and Marty turned Galento
around in a Skirmish near the
Gallagher corner. Marty's right
eye was beginning to close, but
he had a slight edge in the
round.
Gallagher Down Again
Galento planted a high left
hook on Marty's temple mid
way of the fourth, and Gal
lagher was down on one knee
for the count of eight. It was
Galento's round. Gallagher
weathered a tough fifth round
to stay on his feet, taking the
worst of the exchanges and
dropping the round.
In the sixth Marty seemed to
be tieing up Galento but got
the worst of the clubbing. Marty
worked on Galento's stomach in
close quarters and had the lat
ter's fury somewhat checked.
The stout heavyweight from
New Jersey steadied himself
before the round was over and
sent hard leftS to Marty's body
sufficiently to make the round
even.
Marty took the seventh by
coming out fighting with a hard
right to Galento's chin. They
went on the ropes fighting,
Marty using good judgment in
beating Galento to several
punches and keeping him off
balance. They fought over to
the opposite side of the ring,
with Marty doing most of the
hitting, refusing to be tied up.
Galento seemed to be firing
and near the end of the round
made some comment to the
referee.
Eighth Is Furious
In close quarters during the
eighth Marty caught Galento on
the chin with a hard right. He
was meeting Galento's attack
better and a furious exchange
occurred in Gallagher's corner.

ON SHELF
FOR THREE
MONTHS

NEW YORK, June Primo
Camera can not fight again for
fully three months, his personal
physician DR.. Vincent Fanoni said
today after X-ray pictures of the
giant Italians injured ankle
showed a Clipped talus bone.
Primo must remain in the hos.
pital for one to three weeks with
the injured leg in a cast for at
least a week, DR.. Fanoni an
nounced. He added:
''This is one of the most
painful injuries q man can get.
The taluS is the bone of the
ankle that articuIates with the
leg bones.
The x-rays also revealed Primo
suffered a torn ligament in the
same leg.
Here DR.. Fanoni questioned
Primo as to what Primo whis.
pered to Referee Arthur Donovan
before the latter ended the bout
in the eleventh round, calling a
technical knockout ip Baer's
favor. Primo replied:
81 tried to say Max had
thumbed my left eye, think
Baer did it on purpose. There
is no question"
While unburdening himself Of
his woes on the hospital table,
Primo revealed he had sent the
following cablegram to Musso-
line:
"T can't win on one leg, but
I'll beat anyone in the world on
two"
The Washington times., 1934-06-16

With his right eye completely
closed during more than half Of
the engagement and the jaw be-
meath rapidly swelling to grape
fruit proportions after both had
been necessarily hammered by
a wide left hook off the per-
son of Signor Tony, Gallagher
made as gallant a stand
against as furious an assault
as he probably ever faced in
his life, or hopes to face.
Down, Down, Down
Down three times in the sec.
ond round for the count of
nine and apparently out on his
feet, our Marty refused to take
the complete count and arose to
weather Galento's blood-thlrsty
attack.
Again down in the fourth
for eight strokes of Referee
Denny Hughes long right arm
Gallagher gathered his energies
together to last what looked
might be the final round.
From that instant on and
after such a gritty display OF
indominitable courage, the
crowd was with Marty. Al
though the stranger from
orange, N. j. had been the
aggressor up to the moment,
Marty's refusal to stay put sud-
denly caught the fancy of the
fans and q cry of Come on
Marty" swept the nocturnal
scene.
This observer gave Galento
six rounds, Gallagher two and
called two even. Twenty-Five
hundred witnessed the fast
fought foray and paid approx
mately three-thousand dollars
for the privilege.
Vicious Left Hook
A vicious left hook to the
hody and head together with
frequent ruinouS rights were
Galento's main weapons and
he used them at will on Master
Marty from the opening bell to
the ending knell.
Gallagher, ever a popular fig
ure in Washington's ring circles,
probably did more last night to
enhance his local prestige
through his sheer determination
to remain upright, than he
ever did through any aggressive
flashes he has revealed from
time to time against far tanner
opponents than Galento.
It was undoubtedly Martyrs
hardest fight in something less
than 10 years of treading the
canvas. That he came out
alive is due to a heart as Ster-
ling as they come.
Watching Marty absorb that
punishment, could not help
wonder what might have hap
pened had the gladiators Eeen
using Six-ounce gloves, which
are legal in the majority Of pre-
cincts where the sport is tolera-
ted.
Galento weighed 223 pounds
and the local lad 204. They
met in a neutral corner after
the opening bell and following
an exchange Of blows Marty
lunged for an upper cut and
their heads butt together as
Marty missed. Galento's face
turned extremely red and he
threw q sharp left to Marty's

 Stations have been set up on the Post Road, North Branford route, to Middletown, on the Col lege Highway, on route 10, Naug- atuck to Waterbury and on the Watertown road.
 The area known to be infested in this state includes the entire east of East Haven, Hamden. Wal lingford, Cheshire, north of Pros- pect and Naugatuck. east of Mid- dletown, Watertown, Morris.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-07

Christmas trees, figuratively speaking, will be higner in price this season than they have been for several years, according to dealers consulted to-day.
 Due to the revised gypsy moth and brown-tail moth quarantine which was put into effect two months ago and is still being en- forced small dealers in the trees have found their territory greatly restricted.
 Trees cannot be shipped from the eastern part of Connecticut starting at Branford; neither can they be imported from western Massachusetts, large sections of Vermont and New Hampshire and southern Maine.
 Usually appearing in large quantities at this time every year, there is noticeable scarcity of the trees in the city at present, al- though store fronts and other bus mess establishments are already featuring their holiday decorations of laurel and evergreen wreaths.

81 YEARS WORK
IN RELIEF ENDS
FOR WILSON

George S. Wilson, for "a years
ut the head of the National Capt.
tails governmental relief, charity,
and welfare, retires from service
Friday of this week.
He has seen the Districts budget
for care and treatment Of the un-
fortunate, the derelict, the sick
and the criminal grow from a
million dollars a year to six mil
lions.
He can be called the father OF
governmental welfare and charity
work in this city; he was the first
secretary of the Board Of Charl-
ties, which in 1925 was changed
to the Board of Public Welfare.
He's a ScOtchman
And, oddly enough for a man
who has been giving things away
with a magnificent gesture Of
friendliness all his life, George
Wilson is one of the thriftiest
Scotchmen that ever lived. He
still has the Scotch accent.
He has seen charity" grow from
a "hand-out" to an organized,
specialized system in which Uncle
Sam himself takes a leading part.
Just before Mr.. Wilson took charge
at the old District Building,
charity" consisted largely in CIV
ing railroad tickets to paupers and
telling them to be on their way.
Has Housing Plan
When Mr.. Wilson goes away
from his desk in the District Build
ing there will be farewellS, gifts,
handshakes and "reminiscences;
and on the next day Elwood Street
will take command as Director OF
Public Welfare. Mr.. Wilson Will
remain in Washington.
Under the Wilson admin1stra-
ton of welfare several outstanding
institutions have been started and
developed to a point where they
attract wide attention. The penal
colonies of Lorton and Occoquan
are among these.
The Gallinger Municipal Hospi'
tai, the tuberculosis hospital, the
District training school for the
treatment and care of feeble
minded, the Industrial Home
School for Colored Children, the
Receiving Home for Children, and
the Home for Aged and Int1rm
are all District institutions started
and grown up under Mr.. Wilson.
Advances Cited
= Mr.. Wilson believes that the
United States Government has
Just started on it's career as a
general social worker. He said:
"It is only three years ago
that we spent our first Gov
ernment money for direct re-
lief-except for one or two
minor instances. In the 1893
depression or panic, Congress
appropriated $4,000 for relief
here. That was the year COxey's
army arrived here. Then we
used some Government money,
I believe, during a flood or
two. But tOday'S tremendous
relief plans indicate that the
Government is not getting out
but is getting in deeper"
