ShouIdBe
Hired
By KIRK MILLER
Times Sports Editor

It seems to me the
local Boxing Commis-
sion, now just about 80
months Of age, is doing
a pretty common sense
job in making the in
quiries it has on how
it might improve fisti-
cutting in the District
of olu m ia and
whether it should as
sumo the responsible
ity for wrestling or any
other local sport.
The refreshing feature of
the commissions stand, now
that it is a little older and a
little wiser, can be found in
the fact that it is at last well
coming suggestions, whereas,
back in its infancy, it rather
seemed to resent them.
Here is a new and healthy state
Of affairs which can only bring
about a betterlnent in the brand
OF sport, whether the commission
confines itself to the prize ring or
whether it eventually is given au-
thority to broaden its scope OF
supervision.
Which Commission?
At a recent joint meeting of
the commission and newspaper
men, the expressions indicated lit.
tie need for the formation of an
athletic commission here to grow
out of the boxing board, and pro-
vide supervision to all types OF
sport locally.
There was no indication wrest-
ling control should be undertaken
by the boxing paters. There was
some feeling that wrestling
needed something, but nobody
was sure just what, or who should
administer 1.-THE boxing commits
sion, a police commission or a
1unacy commission.
No black eye was given wres'
ting particularly, except for the
statement that it would lower
the dignity of the boxing commits"
sion to try to bring rhyme or rea'
son out of the chaos, from sport
i've standpoint, that happens to
be wrestling as. it is currently
practiced.
Dignity InUOlUed!
The question was brought up as
to whether indeed wrestling is &C.
tually a sport or an exhibition.
However, if there is anything
about wrestling that would in
volve the dignity of boxing COM
mission, certainly there is some
thing wrong with wrestling, par
ticularly if it is to continue to be
construed as a sport.
In letters which The Times in.
vited from the people who keep
the turnstiles of boxing and
wrestling clicking, the majority of
the criticism was aimed at the
unpopular decisions in boxing.
Wrestling did not evoke so many
answers.
The judges and the referees
were pretty we'll lampooned by
many who declared they have
been somewhat regular in their

GUARD DUTY.

- OMETIMES the underdog gets
K a break.
Two sentries at Fort Myer
- recently loaded four prisoners
in a huge truck, ostensibly destined
for some unsavory and menial task.
The truck was pulling flat-toppeo
trailer upon which the sentries hoped
to keep an eye on their charges.
In a few minutes the truck moved
of, the prisoners sitting comfortably
on the sides of the big lorry. They
had gone only a few yards when all
four of them broke into loud guf1aw.
The sentries, their feet hanging over
the sides Of the trailer, were clinging
for dear life to hang on. The nat
topped vehicle had no springs and they
were taking considerable punishment
as they were hauled over a rough
stretch CT road.

The Vampire
OfN'Gobi'

Perhaps one Of the best Of the
African thrillers to arrive at the
desk for some time is "The YAM
pire of N'Gobi," by Ridgewell
Cullum.
The segment Of the literary en-
deavor in which this class of novel
falls is q world apart from ord1-
nary horror stories. There Is
usually nothing to limit the i'm
agination Of the author except
the credulity of the reader and
when strange races of men, half
forgotten underground tunnels,
superstition and the customs
smacking Of the Oldest inhabi-
tantS of the world are brought
into effect that credulity Is not
very binding.
In this particular hair-raiSer,
Colonel Farlow who is the ad-
venturer supreme does a right
nice bit Of solving a couple OF
mysteries that have evaded men
for centuries. And he does it in
quite an up-to-date and modern
manner. Machine guns and an
armored motor launch are mixed
quite easily with the hate killers
of the African jungleS and that
race of long forgotten yellow men.
Of course the accepted history
of our world gets a few sudden
turnings but then the reader who
delveS into this sort Of erie records
shouldn't be too Skeptical about
anything that happens.
In short Colonel Farlow is lured
to the mountain of N'Gobi by the
queen of a race long thought ex-
tinct. He walks into what he
knows is a trap as deliberately as
anyone could. CannabaliStic black
Savages, "the living weed" the
gorge of white DEATH" nothing is
able to stop Colonel FarloW when
he makes up his mind to come to
grips with an enemy that has
plagued his life for years.
At the end Of the trip he finds
''The Queen" He calls her a YAM
pire" and the exciting finish
proves just that. A real tale that
will take you so far away from
changing street cars and trilling
telephone bells that you will have
a hard time to get back.

The Spirit of
Youth

Innocent Summer" is the sort
of book you'll want to keep. 1t
has the rich, human quality that
Ruth Suckow put into the earlier
passages of "The Folks" and the
bright, satiric humor that Anne
Parrish puts into everything. In
addition, it was written by
Frances Frost, who is to be re-
membered for Pool IN the
Meadow" "Blue Harvest" and
other books of poetry.
This, her first complete novel,
promises an interesting future
should she stick to fiction. She
has the gift for telling a story
and the ability to dress up her
drama with the lyric phrases
learned in her pursuit Of verse.
Indeed, parts Of Innocent Sum-
mer" are practically blank verse
strung out in story form.
The scene is New England. The
subject; early adolescence. The
time four short months out Of
almost any year. There is pain,
Illustration and Joy. The world
goes on and youth waits, wonder
ing.

A New Norris
Novel

Miss Kathleen Norris, who has
written somewhere between So
and 60 novels, has just brought
out another called Secret Mar
riage." This, like the rest, is
recommended to all those who
have had a baby, made a home,
kept a house, or fallen in love-"
The fact remains that if you
like one of her books you like
them all. The plots and char
acters change, to be sure, and
she is careful to vary her locales
and descriptions. Nevertheless,
reading the works of Kathleen
Norris is like embarking on a
pleasant, never-ending continued
story. You feel you know what
to expect and she rarely disap-
points.
Secret Marriage" goes on with
the argument begun so many
years ago in Margaret Yorke."
Mary Burleigh makes an un-
happy marriage in her teens and
sees it through to the bitter end
and despite many changing for
tunes. Like Margaret Yorke, she
has a child to consider and like
Margaret, also, she comes at last
into her rightful heritage.

His approach to his work is
perhaps best illustrated in an
article entitled "The Bicentennial
Pageant of George Washington"
which appeared in the Yale Uni
versity Press in 1898:
"JOhn Taylor Arms own etch.

among the fruits of many months
spent in France; while Venetian

more recent results of Italian so
