.MURKUR TO MAKE FIRST SHOWING IN WATERBURY
Nerve ParaIyzer Meets Maurice Cavell in Main
 Bout in Buckingham

Dr. Martin Murkur, a novel mat man, will make his first local show ing in this city at Buckingham hall when he takes on the physical mar vel, Maurice Rudy Cavell, statuesque wrestler, who was able to pin Karl Pojello to the mat two weeks ago, being the only one of Pojello's op- ponents in this city who was able to accomplish that feat. In Dr. Murkur, Cavell will have to avoid attempts at paralysis of his nerv- ous system, for the mysterious doctor" as he is known, makes 8 speciality of squeezing nerve centers ala Jiu Jitsu, the idea being to temporarily deprive victim of his strength through press on nerves, which will allow Murkur to fall in for a quick fall at unexpected times. The pair are billed for a 90 minute showing or two out of three falls.

Hercules Ira gas, square-jawed Greek of ability is a good bet to take Mario Besto apart before his 30 minutes time limit have expired.
 Tough Guy
 Pat Reilly, the Irishman from New York city who likes to mix his matwork with little fighting now and then has 225 pound Fred Ebert of Brazil to fool around with, and Reilly will have all he can do to leave the ring in one piece, if the reports of Ebert's ability are 10 per cent true. All in all, the show is very Well-balanced and should drawa capacity throng If the weather is at all favorable at the time the first bout is scheduled, which is 8:30 o'clock.

BROWN LASTED BUT TWO ROUNDS AGAINST "FIND"
PhilIy Negro Gave FOnr Better Than Louis"
 Performances

Philadelphia, April 16 - (UP)-- Leroy Howitzer) Haynes, Philadei@ phias hard-hitting Negro heavys weight, was recognized in pugilistic circles today as a "black menace~ to Joe Louis prestige. Haynes knocked out Matte Brown of Wash- ington, the last man to stay the full 10 rounds with the Brown Bomber, in two rounds last night.
 Sharkey Next? 7
 In turning in his fourth better than-Joe-Louis performance, Haynes not only elevated himself on the pugilistic ladder but he clinched g contract for three fights this sum- mer at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn. His first opponent is expected to be former heavyweight champion, Jack Sharkey, on May 27.
 Haynes, who is gunning for an ul- timae crack at Louis, made 1t four up on the famous Detroit dynamiter when he stretched Cutie" Brown on the floor for the full count at PAS of the second round. Previously he had disposed of Primo Camera in three rounds, Patsy Perroni in seven, and Hans Birkie in five, whereas, Louis had required six, 10. and 10, respectively, to turn the same tricks.
 Stomach Trouble
 Six thousand fans in the arena saw Haynes jacknife Brown with a terrific right hook to the stomach in the first round, and stagger him with a left hook to the chin in the second. This left hook to the jaw in natural corner dressed the cvasive Washington scrapper for the kill.
 Pinned in the corner, Brown was bombarded with left and right hooks. brown haired Matte. who never be- fore had taken the full count in nearly eight years of professional fighting, wilLed under the punish ment, and a final smashing right to the mouth crashed him to the floor As Referee Joe McGuigan tolled off the full l0-count Brown tried futilely to rise
 Brown weighed 2l2 pounds, nearly g more than when he met Louis, and was notin as good condition as on the night of the Detroit fight. Haynes scaled 200.

NEW YORK. - A delegation of
prominent Harlem citizens visited
District Attorney Dodge last week
to demand criminal prosecution in
connection with the death of 80
babies in the institution in, Septem-

IAN inadequate staff.
Revelation Of the deaths stirred
Harlem to fever pitch and the hos
pital was picketed for several days
in succession by groups carrying
tiny caskets and placards protest
ing conditions at the hospital which
led to the mass deaths.
Out of the picketing activities

following the clubbing Of two wo-
men pickets. Inez Watson was
struck several times by Patrolman
George Kline, according to eye wit
nesses. Miss Watson was arrested,
charged with disorderly conduct.
The other police victims, Marie Cas-
anova, was painfully knocked about
by another policeman. She, too,
was arrested.
In making the arrests, police also
seized four miniature caskets which
the pickets were carrying to SYM
bolize the killing of the 80 babies
through negligence Of city hospital
officials.
In letter to Mayor La Guardia,
protesting conditions at the hospi-

that Commissioner of Hospitals DR..

necessity. The reason for these re-
strictions was due to the fact there
is not room for all the present 700
stations to operate within the band
from $50 to 1,500 kilocycles. In
fact, half this number of stations
would give give much better results.
The Federal Radio Commission
realizes this very condition, and is
on the lookout for violators of OBJ
sene language, libel, slander and
off-wave offenders. Recently, a
station was refused renewal of Ii
cense because of obscene language.
TO the writer, it is problem Of
illumination. However, the cry is for
for stations. Yet the Federal Ra-
dio Commission cannot satisfactor-
lily iron out all the difficulties con-
fronting it at the present time. Con-
! ditions have improved in many

to the impossible as long as there
