The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-11-06
By JOHN MORROCH

Jimmie Dumont, foot-loose and handsome, was one of those un- fortunate jobbing band musicians whose sense of rhythm greatly ex- ceeds their sense of responsibility. Jimmie, you're about the sweetest sax player in town--but I can't af- ford to gamble with you any long, er,' old Bob Valair, veteran book CT back in the home town, had said when he fired Jimmie for tho fifth time. But Jimmie hadn't any reason to care then; he was too well known to worry, and he was signed up eagerly by one of the other bookers.
 He had laughed at Valair just as he had laughed off those innumer- able reports concerning his tardi- ness and fragrant disregard for the requirements of dress. Coming late on the job was bad enough. It wor- ried the leader. He. had to start playing short-handed.. And a small jobbing band of five or six pieces needed every instrument on the job in order to make, the best showing. e..-..'.
 And then, of course, when Jim mic did arrive his velvet-toned saxophone more than made up for weak start. .,-t....,
 sS..s.
 But the source of complaint to every booking office in town was Jimmie's incurable penchant for bohemian dress. He would show up on the job wearing a loud tweed suit with sport shoes and yellow cravat when his booking slip read distinctly, Dark suit and black bow tie.' ..''t-'
 And he invariably appeared to play a formal dancing party dressed in an impressed business suit when the booking called for tux with wing collar" When the leader demonstrated with him Jimmie would drag an old soiled wing collar from the depths of his tenor sax case.
 But a good thing overdone can not last forever. And one day he found there was no more work for him in his home town.
 The bookers could no longer af- ford to use the exceptional saxo- phone playing of Jimmie Dumont He had no alternative-being a natural born musician-but to leave his home town in search of new fields.
 He found himself broke and dis couraged as he walked into the costly foyer of the Plazamoor. He was in no shape to try for a joh with the band playing at the city's most exclusive supper club. But he had exhausted every other pos sibility in town. The nearest pawnbroker could have his instru- ment for the price of meal if there was no berth for him here.
 "Just got out of my car after a 500-mile drive," Jimmie remarked to Guy Williams, maestro of the

You'll be here at then-in tux" Guy Williams said pointediy, concluding their interview. At 9-in tux"
 The confirming words had leaped out desperately from Jim mics throat. And now he walked out into the late afternoon sun shine wondering what he would do next.
 He had no tux-and had no way of getting one by night. His only suit was on his back. He had no money and no friends here. At public washroom he cleaned himself as best he could and put on his clean white sport shirt with the long pointed collar which was the last vestige of his prosperous days. Then he sat down on a park bench and waited for the fateful hour to arrive. At 9 Jimmie Dumont, feeling more like his old self than he ever had since misfortune had blighted his path, walked determinedly into the PldZamoor. The prospect of a job, and the rest in the park, had revived his former spirit. Jimmie waited until the last minute Then with a desperate determination-tha nevertheless, Tipped up the collar on his shirt. As he slipped into his chair |. great wash of white light flooded the platform. = Guy Williams was taking bow. Jimmie's hands flew up to cover his counterfeit front.
 But before the eyes of the din- , CTS could adjust themselves to the gesture of a saxophone player choking himself in the linel'~ht the white flood was cut off. The diners and orchestra found theal- selves floating in a subdued amber glow. Guy Williams raised his baton, and night of gayety was begun.
 Relieved of the imminent danger | of exposure, Jimmie was sure he | was getting away with it. His ex- ceptional tone and technique
 blended with the striking effects of
 the reed section as though he had
 rehearsed with them for months. Guy Williams seemed pleased with | it all.
 | But when the night of music was ended Jimmie was called into
 the office.
 Opening the door labeled Man ager," he was stopped short bv the sight of old Bob Valair, the book CT from his home town! valair's gaze seemed to Jimmy a mixture of anger and despair. "You-you're managing Guy Williams?' Jimmy gasped in as- tonishment. Valair nodded silent- ly. He picked up an envelope of the desk and held it out to Jim mic.
 Jimmie, you're about the sweet est sax player in town" he began, but I can't afford to gamble with you any longer.''
 Jimmie's face fell, and he bowed his head in acceptance. Same old Valair. Hadn't even changed his formula. Reluctantly Jimmie Velope. Suddenly Valair laughed:
 Here's your first weeks pay in advance" he said. Its an order for S45 on the Clermont Clothing Company. Not transferable. told them you'd be there tomorrow to buy yourself a tux"

NEW INFIELD
FOR YANKEES

NEW YORK, Jan. IS. U.P)-When
the New York Yankees hit the
comeback trail this season, the
customers probably will see a brand
new irlfield combination.
Indications of infield reorganiza-
ton feature the Yank's 1884 roster
issued today. It lists 81 players, of
whom the pitchers and catchers will
report at St. Petersburg for train
ing on March 4, and the rest on
March H.
Lou Gehrig will be back az first
base, but the other infield positions
will be fought for. Don Heffner
from Baltimore, one of the new
comers, will battle for second base
with veteran Tony Lazzeri. Lyn
Larry, utility man last year, and
Jack Salzgaver, recalled from New
ark, will compete for the third base
post vacated by ancient joey Sewell.
The latter now is Yankee coach.
Bob Rolfe is back from Newark
for another try for the shortstop
job, and he is expected to give
Frank Crosetti quite a tussle.
Four pitchers have been recalled
for another tryout: Eormidas Aube
of Atlanta, Jimmy Deshong Of New
ark, Marvin Duke of Newark, and
Johnny Murphy of Newark. In ad-
dition three newcomers will try for
pitching berths: Floyd NeWkirk Of
st. Paul, Harry Smythe of Balti-
more and Vito Tamulis of Bingham
ton.
The rest of the club looks about
the same as last year.

PETROLLE To
QUIT FIGHTING
BY JACK CUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, AIN. 25.-The light
weight champion, Barney Ross, to-
day stood out as undisputed chal-
lenger for the welterweight crown.
He smashed into the welter throne
room last night when he battered
game old Billy Petrolle into retire
ment.
If ever a man knew he was licked,
it was the ancient Fargo Express at
the end of those 10 rounds in the
coliseum. More than 1900 saw the
curtain descend on a glorious fight
ing career.
II was a significant battle. It
boosted Ross TO a new pinnacle. II
marked finish for Petrolle II prov
ed that the apparently dead fight
game in New York was indeed a
lively corpse as 5000 potential Gus
toners were turned away.
Sitting on a rubbing table in his
dressing room-both eyes swollen
purple, lips puffed and bleeding =
Petrolle announced that he was
hanging up his gloves for good. His
bruised face achieved a rueful smile
in replying TO question about Ross
ability.
did you ever see a dream fight
ing?" he asked. We'll, I did-that
is when Barney didn't have that
left glove in front Of my face. That
boy is a marvel. He's got every
thing. He'll be lightweight cham
pion unTll he's as old as / am, If he
doesn't grow out of the division
Could Petrolle have beaten him a
couple OF years ago? He didn't
know. But he did know he was toe
old TO fight top-notchers any more
He didn't want to take the custo-
mer's money under false pretenses
He couldn't give them a run fol
their money. SO he was going home
10 Duluth and be a business man
Ills manager, Jack Hurley, said Bill
ly is worth more than 100000, in
vested IN bonds, real estate anc
business enterprises.
Ross and his managers, sam Piar
and Art Winch, were jubilant. Piar
said he would start cunning in ear
nest for crack at Jimmy McLar-
nin's l47-pound title He said he
would guarantee McLarnin $4,000
Ross was virtually unmarked. Ht
won eight OF the 10 rounds. The
sixth was even, and Petrolle's deS-
perate rally won the ninth.
