the week, per h sport column, to confound anyone with a case for other newspaper writers. He is the most consistently brilliant of all the sport writers.
 Parker is a great humorist. His Lexicon of a Fight Manager" alone gives him that status. Our complaint is that he does not write it often enough. He likes to monkey with dialect lot, and while we are not exactly dialect man, the boys around Lindy's say it is great, and that is high compliment to Parker.
 Master At Satire
 He is a master at satire, especially if he is good and hot about some thing or somebody. A few writing gentlemen have tried to measure typewriters with Parker in the past, and he has invariably left their hides raw and Steaming on his col- umnar fence, so now the first thing the youngsters coming up in the New York sport game learn from the lips of their elders is Don't fool with that Parker"
 Yet, innately, Dan Parker is a kindly soul. He would probably pre- fer living at peace with all the world. However, he has positive opinions, and keen sense of jus tice, and he just cannot help cutting loose at wrongoes, and their wrong doing, and if anybody wants to fight about it-well, there he is.
 Howe:er, this phase has nothing to do with our estimate of Dan

Runyon Steals WincheH's
 Orchids For Dan Parker
Famous Writer Pays Fine Tribute to Former Water=
 bury Newspaperman

Just how large niche is occupied by Waterbury's Dan Parker in the Hall of Sports Writing Fame was publicly testified, to yesterday by Damon Runyan in his nationally reac column, "The Brighter Side" pub. lished daily in the New York Mir TOT and many other newspapers tt which it is syndicated. Parker, Wa terbury born and educated, has written for the Waterbury Demo- crat since September, 1929, in addi- tion to 35 other papers from Cali fornia to Connecticut. and is inter- nationally known as sports editor of the New York Mirror. His column today appears in its regular place on the Democrat sport pages.
 Widely Known
 Damon Runyan, in his heyday as New York sports writer was, per hcps, the most widely known and most often quoted of the gentlemen of the press who recorded the doings of Americas young athletes in the ring, on the baseball field and the football gridiron, which lends added value to his opinion of the Water bury man he referred to so well and often in "The Brighter Side" yester- day, as follows:
 We have a columnar neighbor on the Daily Mirror in New York City Dan Parker by r. ne. who is our favorite exhibit in arguing our opin- ion, that much of the best news paper writing of the day continues to be done by the sports writers. We can drag Dan Parker in any day in

Parker just as a writing man. He happens to be gifted far beyond the run of writers in dueling, but he is happier when he is having gentle fun with some topic. He has much in common with Frankie Graham aside from writing ability, in that they are both extremely shy, and reticent in company. You would never know they were in the room, as the saying is.
 Versatility
 Dan Parker demonstrates amazing versatility in his daily column. He has the lightest touch of any writ ing man we know Perhaps we mean deftest. Anyway, 1t is the difference between heavy inept hand and the soft smooth sweep that you sense when you read Parker and. some other fellow on the same identical subject.
 He is a Connecticut Yankee, of prodigious frame, standing some- where around 6-feet-6, and weigh- ing well over 240 pound-. It is said he is little sensitive about his size, which most men envy because he is such a striking figure.
 He is a gentleman on, and off, though that has nothing to do with writing. He is around 40, give or take a couple of years, and is just about ripe to Tar back and turn out a piece of American literature that will justify the promise us Parker ad- mirers see every day in the column to the south of this"

 Eloquent Plea .
 Edward J. Ryan of Thomaston, president of the Connecticut Re- tail Liquor Dealers association, made eloquent plea for the meas ure, saying that it was desgined for the welfare of the city, for the protection of Waterbury against an increase of liquor establishments now numbering more than 900. . He declared that Hartford, Bridgeport, Danbury, Stratford and other cities in the state have adopted an iden- ttcal ordinance and have found it very beneficial"
 Spokesman for number of prop erty holders, some score of whom went on record as opposed to the measure, Attorney Francis Me- Donald disputed the claims of MT. Ryan that the proposal is the rem- edy implied. He advocated that the liquor dealers "get together and clean up the situation among them selves," saying that the matter called for police action as a cor rective measure, that the "house should be cleaned from within" {;
 Joining MT. Ryan, Alderman Reiner, Republican, departing from his parliamentary place as chair man of the committee holding the hearing, made plea for the amend ment from the chair"
 New Deal
 We should look at this from the angle of public welfare, not from the angle of money" he declared. There are too many liquor estab- lishments on all of the principal streets"
 He prefaced his unusual remarks with the statement:
 "This is a new deal"

The ordinance will increase the value of real estate. If res- taurant proprietor loses his license now he can sell out for only about $500 but if this ordinance is passed, no new place can start up within 1000 feet of his and if he sells out within 30 days he can get more than $50O."
