JESSERUN,FALC
SQUARE OFF IN
FIGHT AT RIALTO
By FRANK BUCK" o'NEILL


Dark for many days due to the
Christmas holidays, and postpone
ments due to contractural difficult
ties with boxers, the Rialto Thea
ter will swing open its portals
again tonight with a series OF box
ing bouts that promise action. The
card tonight is just a cocktail that
precedes feast, according to How
ard Livingston, who plans to bring
Henry Armstrong into Washing
ton, pairing him with the best
available opponent.
Andre Jesserun, who was to have
met Vittorio Ventura here on last
Friday night, will face the rugged,
hard-hitting Tony Falco in the
feature contest Of 10 rounds.
Jesserun ran second to Falco in
a previous meeting, according to
advices coming direct from How
ard Livingston, and the French
fighter, striving for rating in the
first 10 among welterweights,
wants to reverse this decision to
night.
Action is promised in every
round. Jesserun not long age
knocked Vittorio Ventura out Of
the first ten welterweights, and
Ventura defeated frankie Blair,
the No. 2 ranking welterweight
contender, in a recent scrap in
New York. It was in this Blair
battle that Ventura injured a
hand and wound up suspended by
the District Boxing Board until
such time as he discharges his
obligations to the Rialto Club.
In the eight-round semifinal
contest, Pete Scalzo, the sensa
tional featherweight from New
York city, will peep over the gloves
at the very earnest but seemingly
overmatched AL Gillette. Scalzo
operating under the direction OF
the canny Pete Reilly, has piled

. STORIES
 IN STAMPS
British Island Named After Fiq Tree

SIXTEENTH century maps la. O beled Barbados, extreme east- ern island of the Windward group in the West Indies, variously St. Bernardo, Barbuduso, Barnados and Barnodo. The name had been derived from the Spanish words for the bearded fig tree which abounds in the area. So in time Barbados evolved as the permanent name for this spot of l66 square miles in the Atlantic.
 The Portuguese, first discovered the island, apparently. The Brit- ish ship Olive Blossom touched there in 1905 and immediately took possession in the name of James I. The first settlement was made in 1925. Three years later the island had a governor; GA set- tiers, arriving at Carlisle Bay, founded the present capital, Bridgetown, now a town of l3,000.
 War between the British and the French during the 18th cen. tury spilled much blood in the West Indies, and Barbados suf- fered in the exchange. It suffered again during the American Revo- lution when embargoes shut off importation of provisions from the colonies. In 1905 the French almost regained the island in a sudden military coup. But the British won, and have held the possession continuously since. Sugar and cotton are the chief products of modern Barbados.
 The British ship, Olive Blossom, is shown here on a stamp of Bar- bados, marking the islands founding.
