Sweden after an exciting session
Nurmi assailed the Swedish aSsocia-
ticu in the debate which preceded the
vote. while President Kekkonen
pleaded for a definite understanding
with Sweden before the boycott was
abolished.
Since 1892 the Finnish association
has steadfastly refused to regard
Nurmi as a professional. The runner,
however still embittered over the loss
of his amateur standing. apparently
regards the present action of his own
association as evidence Of lack of
faith.
Another meeting of the association
has been called for June l6. The
possibility was seen that there may
then be a reconciliation between the

CanzOneri's Fate With

~ ROBABLY never before in the
- annals Ct local boxing has the
outcome of an out-of-town
boxfight been as weighty to q
Capital cauliflower concern as will be
the result of the Tony Canzoneri-Lew
Ambers battle for the lightweight
championship Friday in New York.
1t is important here because exactly
80 days after he either regains his
135-pOund crown or fails against the
young blade from Herkimer, N. Y, the
redoubtable little Canzoneri will fight
frankie Klick at Griffith Stadium Tor
the ShrinerS. II will be the biggest
pugilistic affair in Washington his
tory, regardless of the outcome, but
there also is eminent danger of an
acute attack of blues to the pro-
moterS.
The Shriners have set up
mighty goal-8O. 900 potatoes, to
be specific-and their only
chance of realizing this aim will
be for Canzoneri to enter the
ring here June 10 as light
weight champion of the world.
A defeat by Ambers would hurt the
'take," naturally, and knockout at
the hands OF the up-and-coming New
Yorker might we'll prove disastrous to
the local match from financial view
point.
r AM not a calamity howler tbesides
the Shriners know thiS), but Am
berS is likely to enter the ring an
8-to-5 favorite over the 29-year-old
Italian, a veterSr of 10 years of pro-
fessional campaigning. The majority
of the Gotham ring experts seem to
be leaning toward the flashy Herkimer
Hurricane, who will climax one of
the most sensational rises in modern
boxing when he tackles Canzoneri.
Nor are the critics by them
selves in picking Ambers. Visit
ing fight managers and handlers,
passing through our fair town

Defends Beauty Standards
of Modern Girls

To the Editor Of The Times:
For asininity and unadulterated
bigotry the statement Of "a
Critic" in Thursdays Times takes
first prize.
He says nothing in support Of
his theory that modern school
girls can't be beautiful. "Only
during the old Grecian and
Roman era were there young
women who could well be called
beautiful" he says.
Is "a Critic" basing beauty
standards upon regularity of fea-
lures and Roman noses? If so, it
might be conceded that he is
right. But surely beauty is some
thing deeper than that. Beauty
is a reflection Of abstract qualities
within us and is closely merged
with personality. 1t is a composite

It is obviously true that beauty
contests have no rightful place in

glasses and melancholia during

Caedmon Sings

More than 1900 years ago, on a
wintry night, a poor Saxon cow-herd
lay asleep in stable of the famous
Abbey of Whitby. He was simple
and unlettered man, unable to play
or sing, and whenever he saw the harp
approaching him at a banquet he was
accustomed to withdraw in haste, usu-
ally taking refuge in the cattle stalls.
Having on one of these occasions fled
from the banqueting room, grieved
and dispirited because he was unable
to engage in the early alliterative
rhyming of those early days, he fell
asleep and dreamed. Suddenly, as he
lay, it seemed to him that heavenly
glory lighted up his stable, and in the
midst of the glory One appeared who
had been Graded in a manger six
hundred years before.
"Sing, Caedmon," he said, "sing
some song to me-"
II cannot sing" was the sorrowful
reply. "For this cause l came hither."
yet" said He who stood before
him, "yet shalt thou sing to me-"
what shall l sing?"
"The beginning of created things"
And as he listened, a divine power
seemed to come on him, and words
that he had never heard before rose
up before his mind, and so the vision
passed away. But the power remained
with Caedmon, and in the morning the
Saxon cow-herd went forth from the
cattle stalls transformed into mighty
poet.
Hilda, the Abbess, heard the Won
drous tale, and from one of the Latin
manuscripts she translated to him a
story of the Scriptures. Next day it
was reproduced in beautiful poem,
followed by another and another as the
spirit of the poet grew powerful with
