OLD-TIME PALS
TO BATTLE FOR
GLOVES TITLE

Continued from LIST Sports Page)
they certainly rated all the bou-
quets tossed their way. It was
the tops in boxing.
Now, when the two buddieS
meet for that title again, you can
bet your last dollar that another
repetition of last night will take
place.
TWO QUICK KNOCKDOWNS
The program all.around last
night was spanked with action and
thrills. Two quick knockouts; Jim
Brady winning the 175-pound
crown to make it two titles in two
years; Buster Miller, 126-pound
champion, reaching the finals,
and Steve Thompson, 1886 cham
pion, getting off the floor three
times to score knockout victory,
were just a few of the highlights
on the card.
AL DiSsie, unattached 175-pound
novice better, took 40 seconds to
put away James Farrell, OF the
National Guard, and then came
Leon Miller, the Fort Myer heavy
weight, to go him one better, cut
ting the time exactly in half, stow
ing away Billy Nolan, another
GuardSman. They were the two
quickest kayos in the tournament
to date.
Brady battered George Ryan, OF
Fort Myer, with so many lefts and
rights that the referee called it a
night after 1885 of the third; Mil
Ter had a close call in outpointing
Billy Harrison, and Thompson,
knocked silly with the first punch
tossed by Earl Haynes, hit the
canvas two more times, but came
on senSationally to win via the
T.K.O. route in 2:25 of the second.
LEWIS BEATS BALL
Joe Lewis, the Colmar Manor
A. L. featherweight, strengthened
his bid for the James A. Sullivan
Trophy, awarded to the outstand-
ing novice, by gaining close yer
dict over Elmer Ball, of the Ma
tional Guard. Joe had a tough
time coming through, but then ii
must be remembered he was bat
ting without a doubt one of the
best boys in the tournament.
frankie McCaleb, Alexandra
147-pound novice. scored double
winning the opening bout from
Ken Hoover in LAS of the first
and then coming back in the fina
bout of the evening to blast out
decision over Don Tucker, also Of
the National Guard.
1t was a great night, and thu
fans that attended will not forge
it for a long time to come.

P[ANTBEDS BIGGER
IN DISEASE FIGHT
Fourth to Half More Space
Put in To Assure Plant
Sufficiency

In the hope of establishing, as far
as possible safeguard against blue
mold, North Carolina tobacco growers
have this season planted from Il
fourth to half larger seedbeds. than
usual, according to E. G. Moss, assis-
tant director in charge of the Depart
ment of Agriculture's tobacco test
farm at Oxford.
Mr.. Moss Said the greatly enlarged
seedbeds were resorted to as means
of assuring a sufficiency of plants TO-
the growing fields, regardless of thu
menacing disease, which has played
havoc with tender plants in the spring
seasons for the past several years
Farmers feared more of it this year
and reports indicate some foundation
AOr their fears.
The test farm director reported that
blue mold, deadly plantbed fungus
has already been found in southern
Granville county, but said it was not
in epidemic FORM" at least not as
yet. He predicted it would probably
not be serious under ten or twelve
days."
Mr.. Moss explained the large in

ing, but showed that growers were
working for plenty of plants and a
high quality crop.
This belt was on the outer fringe
of the weekend cold wave that moved
eastward from the western states, but
there have as yet been no reports Of
any material damage from the cold.
The rain accompanying the drop in
temperatures was beneficial to tobac
co beds as well as crops in general,
such as have been planted so far, and
supplied needed moisture in advance
of the spring paintings.
