TODAY'S-
Sports Parade
BY HENRY McLEMoRE

Max Schmeling and Max Baer.
Mushky was handling a heavy
weight named Red Barry at the
time. and Barry was fighting Tony
(Nightstick) Galento in the semi
final. Mushky took me aside in
the dressing room and asked me
to please pay particular attention
to his man Barry.
Hes the greatest puncher since
Dempsey" Mushky said. He'll
murder this mug. Galento, or what
ever his name is 10 me favor
and try and give him good write
up. You won't have to make any
thing up. Just write what you see,
and it'll be terrific. My boys
murderer--a plain murderer"
My working press seat was near
Barry's corner and when Mushky
led him in the ring he paused long
enough TO whisper in my ear:
Don't forget, now. Watch my
boy, Barry He's murderer, I tell
you. The next champ or I'm 4
Greek"
Well, I may live To be a hundred
but never expect to see as thor
ough and devastating knockout as
Galento hung ON Barry, the mur-
derers, chin. And he did it in the
first minute of the first round. Out
walked Barry and out walked Ga
lento. The bell for the first round
was still echoing In the park when
Tony brought one up from Mil
waukee and laid it on Bary's pro-
file. Mushky's man fell face for
ward, almost in my lap.
looked at Mushky as he assisted
in the sad rite of removing Reds
190-pound chassis from the ring.
Mushky's eyes were those Of
whipped Irish setter.
"Jeez!" he mumbed and continued
the portage down the aisle.
I was surprised to find thai
Mushky had engaged fisticuffs with
Jimmy Johnston, matchmaker for
Madison Square Garden, for it is
we'll known around New York that
Jimmy Johnston, despite his title
of grandfather and slight size, Is
very unhealthy TO pick on. Jimmy
Johnston's best punch" involves
the use of his own head and the
bottom section of his opponents
chin. With the state of activities,
Johnston firmly grasps his enemy's
coat lapelS and, drawing him close,
leaps straight up. The results is
immediate and violent contact be-
tween Johnstons noggin and the
enemy's chin. 1t is Johnston'S proud
boast that his head has never yield
ed. Just how he worked this
punch" on Mushky puzzles me,
however, because MuShky considers
coats as effeminate, and refuses to
wear them. It must have been
Mushky's ears that Johnston grab

BULLDOG NET
TEAM WALLOPS
EL CENTRO 4-3

A tall. wiry Mexican youth, Grat-
ianne by name. Saturday morning
led Calexico high schools defend
ing net champions 10 a 4-3 VIC
tory over a determined FL Centre
racket squad.
Gratianne, who paired with Ev-
elyn Crook. was forced TO defeat
strong Ell Centre mixed doubles
combination of Judd and Birkauser
almost singlehanded.
Before the match started CaleXlco
was virtually certain of winning
all the boys matches and the Gen.
tral team was equally certain of
sweeping the girls events.
Thus, the outcome Of the battle
depended upon the result OF the
mixed doubles match.
Gratianne carried the brunt of
the attack in the initial set and
managed to pull out an S-6 win by
taking his own service on the 14th
game.
In the second set he continued
to play brilliant tennis but Judd
and Birkhauser were unbeatable
and grabbed the second set 6-3
Gratianne. who was forced to
cover more court as the match
progressed because his partner.
Crook. tired under the steady drill
of shots. opened up a spectacular
brand of tennis in the third set
TO sweep the first four games.
Central rallied momentarily TO
bring the score TO 5-3 and it looked
like the Spartans might pull out.
The hopes for a Central win look
ed even brighter when Judd and
Birkhauser took a 40-love lead in
the ninth game on Gratianne's
service. But the CaleXico METER
only gritted his teeth and banged
his service over the net.
Birkhauser muffed a well placed
shot. Judd outed on peculiar twist
shot and Gratianne deuced the
score with sizzling placement that
Birkhauser could not handle.
On two long rallies Gratianne
again came through and watched
Judd net the ball on the final
point of the match.
Bowker and Servine grabbed wins
for CaleXico in the singles with
triuinphs over Kline and Roberts
and the Calexico boys doubles team
had an easy time downing Free and
Horne.
Dowd and Chestnut defeated
Gungary and Strawn in girls singles
and Hatch and Nuffer won their
match in the girls doubles.

Border Wastes Searched
For Fugitive Who
Vanishes AfOOt

MEX1CALI, May 21.-Of-
ficers searched the border
wastelands today for Brigi-
do Avila, who shot Felix
Perez through the heart here
Thursday night in barroom argu-
ment.
Avila fired one shot at the man,
declared to be stranger to him..
menaced witnesses who sought to
restrain him and fled toward New
river. The victim and Avila were
seated in automobiles in front of
a saloon on Vua street when they
became involved in an argument,
officers said. Perez left his car
and started toward Avila. Avila
left the car in which he was Sit
ting, produced a As automatic and
fired point blank at the approach
Ing man.
A witness attempted to hold him
for police but Avila asked him if
he wanted "some of the same"
forcing his release. He abandoned
his automobile and disappeared on
foot.
The hunted man is believed to
be relative of Jose Maria Avila
in Brawley. Recently he was de-
ported from the United States for
running contraband across the in
ternational border.
Avila is between 35 and 40 years
of age. A description of him, how
ever, could not be obtained from
witnesses, many of whom disclaim-
ed acquaintance with him. Some
of the witnesses assured police of
their ability to identify him if ap-
pretended,
Manuel Marquee, found sitting
in Avila's abandoned machine, is
held in Jail as material witness.
Efforts to obtain information con-
corning the hunted man thus far
were unsuccessful, according to
officers.
United States peace officers were
warned to be on the alert for Avi-
las appearance along the border

A similar bill was approved by
the legislature and vetoed by the
governor two years ago Members
hesitated to predict the final out
come Of the 1887 measure.
Advocates of the repeal proposal
argued that the law accomplished
nothing except sending California
marriage business to Reno. Las
Vegas. Yuma and other nearby cities
in neighboring states.
The measure must be approved
bv the senate before going to the
governor for signature.
Other outstanding developments
in the legislature during sessions
which extended past midnight in

l. The Senate Finance committee
blocked compromise bill to Gre
ate labor mediation board. The
Labor and Capital committee gave
do pass recommendation to the
Seawell Labor Relations board

2. The assembly approved a res
olution to name 10 interim COM
mittees after a stormy debate dur
ing which Democrats and Repub-
licanS battled on partisan lines.
3. Assemblymen defeated bill

prevent members of the patrol from
participating in strike breaking
activities.
4. The assembly approved the
Cronin anti-injunction bill to pro.
hioit courts from enjoining labol
from picketing or similar activitie:
except in event hearing proveo
violence was present or threatened
When the senate finance COM
mittee blocked the compromise labor
mediation board bill advanced by

makers generally conceded there
was no hope of adopting any kind
of labor board program this session
despite a widespread demand that
something be done to alleviate
