Champion, James j. Braddock.
The other three are John Henry
Lewis, light heavyweight cham
pion; Babe Risko, middleweight
champion, and Freddie Miller,
recognized as featherweight by
the National Boxing Association.
There is nothing original about
the Braddock matter. The only
noteworthy dissenters, in fact, are
James j. Braddock and Madison
Square Garden, the company that
holds his paper and, therefore,
wishes to deny that Joe Louis will
ever beat Braddock out of the
title.
Louis, McAvOy Leaders
Dempsey, anyhow, quite natu-
rally rates Louis over Braddock
and then goes for Jock McAvoy,
the EngliShman, with conSidera.
BILE guSto. He makes McAvoy
the No. / man Of the light heavy
weights and comedies him the
same spot in the middleweight
class, provided he can do 100
pounds.
This is a little surprising In
view of the prestige of Freddie
Steele, of the Pacific Northwest,
whom everybody around here
talks about but never sees.
81 know Steele very WELL"
said Dempsey. Hes an excel
lent puncher and a very good
man. But 1 like that McAvOy
against anybody in both classes,
If he can do $780,"
McAvoy recently knocked out
the champion, Babe Risko, in less
than a round in an over-the-
weight match.
AS for Miller, who has a sort
Of second-cousin claim upon the
featherweight title. Dempsey fig
ures that Freddie is beginning to
go.
Maybe the altitude of Mex.
leo City helped Baby Casa
nova to beat him the other
day." said John. But my boy,
NOrment QuarleS, beat him in
another Over-the-weight fight
in Pittsburgh and there's no
particular altitude there.
WON'T STAY THERE
"The fact is that Miller's be-
ginning to lose. I'll leave him
at the top of the class tempo
rarily, but he won't be able to
stay there himself"
Dempsey's rankings in the vari-
GUS classes, exclusive of the fly
weights who seem practically ex-
tinct, are as follows:

Scientists Work on
Non-Habit Forming
Morphine Substitute

UNIVERSITY, Va, Nov. 16. W.P,--
Development of a non-habit forming
substitute for morphine was believed
one step nearer today following dis
covery of three new compounds af-.
ter seven years of research in the
Cobb chemical laboratory of the
University of Virginia under the oi-
rection of Dr. Lyndon F.. Small.
The fundamental basis of the re-
search is Synthesis from coal tar
from which many medicines, drugs
and aniline dyes already have been
produced.
Used in dosages one fifth to one
tenth as large as that of the natural
drug, the new compounds We're re-
ported to have produced effects SIM
liar to those of the usual injection
of morphine. Mice, dogs, rabbits,
cats and monkeys have been used
in the tests.

BABY TURKEYS
SUSCEPTIBLE TO
EARLY DISEASE

Baby turkeys are as susceptible to
pullodum disease as are baby chicks,
and show the same manifestations.
In making this statement, DR.. W. B.
Hinshaw, associate veterinarian in
the college of agriculture on the
Davis campus of the University of
California, said that no case has
been found where an outbreak has
been found to have originated from
carriers in the turkey breeding
flock.
THE chief source of infection in
poults," says Dr. Hinshaw. sis in the
hatchery where turkey eggs and
chicken eggs are hatched in the
same incubator Prevention of
pullorum disease in turkey flocks
can best be accomplished by the use
of separate incubators for Matching
turkeys eggs and by avoiding all
contact with chicks. either in the
hatchery Or in the brooder.
Survivors from an acute out
break apparently have a greater
ability to abort the infection than
for chickens, and consequently few
er permanent carriers rerzain in the
flock. Most of the reactors OBJ
tanned from infected flocks five to
six months OF age, if kept for a
year, become non-reactors.
In the light of our present knowl-
edge, general testing program for
turkeys is probably not justifiable.
Flocks that have accidentally be-
come infected should be tested, how
ever. if they are to be used for the
production of Matching eggs"
