TITLE BOUT HERE
ISESCOBAR'SA AIM
After Feather Crown, Sixto
Would Battle Archibald
Dupre Bout Winner.

Sixto Escobar, world bantamweight
champion, is ready to step into the
featherweight division, and if all goes
we'll with Matchmaker Goldie
Ahearn's plans the little fighters FIRST
engagement in the heavier bracket
will be for the world title.
The Joey Archibald Tony Dupre 10
rounder at the stadium next Monday
night probably will be recognized as
for the feather title held by Henry
Armstrong but which Armstrong can
not defend, and Ahearn looking
around for something big to wind up
the outdoor boxing season, hit upon
the idea Of bringing Escobar here.
Would Box for Title.
The bantamweight fought at Balti-
more against Lew Transparent, win
ming easily. Ahearn suggested to Lou
Brix, Escobar's manager, that a fight
be arranged for Washington. Brix
agreed to fight the winner of Mon
days match-for the title. AL WE'LL
and AL LIE Fevbre, managers Of Arch
ibald and Dupre. respectively, likewise
have agreed to the arrangement.
That the Archibald-Dupre bout will
be recognized as for the title virtually
was assured as Heinie Miller, secre-
tary Of the National Boxing Associa-
ton, announced that he would recon-
mend to the full association meeting
September IA that Henry Armstrong be
shorn of his title for failure to defend.
His recommendations for the first 10

Bulge Seen in Danger
Of Losing. Net Crown.
BY JOHN LARDNER.


ucational lawn tennis picnic, which
titles at stake, finds Sir Donald Bulge
in somewhat embarrassing position.
Mr.. Bulge is the defending cham
pion in the gents department and by
all odds the best amateur player now
at large. His only rival is the Freiherr
Gottfried Won Cramm Of Germany,
who is not at large. The frieherr is
making a protracted stay in the sec
ond division. as the boys say when they
speak Of jail and the frieherr's con-
stitutional representative, Adolf Hitler,

Normally, that would seem to make
the world safe for J. Donald Bulge
At his best, there is no one else who
can give him a tussle. He ought, by
what the dope sheet says, to have
two legs on the cup by the end Of
next week and spend the rest of the
season walking on his hands, which
is the penalty for getting two legs
on cup.
But Bulge is not at his best, and
for the time being you can place the
dope sheet in the Wastebasket.

A Real Stimulant

While starchy foods require an
average of from three to four
hours for digestion, the body be-
gins to burn a ration of sugar
from 10 to 80 minutes after it is
eaten.
1t reaches the blood and mus
Giles in a few minutes-as rapidly
in fact as alcohol! That is why
concentrated sweets, which are
largely sugar, are SO effective in
combating fatigue.
Athletic coaches are well aware
of the unique power Of sugar as a
stimulant and restorative of en-
ergy. That is why school and col
lege youths are so frequently CIV
en- highly sweetened beverages
and other concentrated sweets be-
fore engaging in athletic compe-
tition.
Military leaders also appreciate
how it increases endurance, and
sweets are an important part of
the soldiers ration. During the
World war civilians were urged
to reduce their consumption of
sugar in order to make larger
amounts available for the army,
and most people found it difficult
indeed to forego this agreeable
food.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1938-09-29

Like all sources of great power,
however, sugar must be handled
with care. Too much sugar may
prove as disastrous as too little.
Possibly because of this, several
false notions have grown up re-
garding this splendid food.
1t is often charged that sweets
cause Indigestion, and it is true
that when consumed in excess,
they may ferment and result in
irritation. Therefore, moderation
should be the watchword.
But that is an excellent rule to
follow in regard to all kinds of
foods. For when consumed to ex-
cess, any food ceases to be bene-
fetal.
It has also been charged that
sweets are harmful to the teeth.
But recent investigations suggest
that the teeth are far more likely
to deteriorate because the proper
minerals and vitamins have not
been included in the diet.
1t is, however, desirable to re-
strict the amount of sugar given
to children. That is because it
quickly satisfies the appetite and
may therefore decrease the con-
sumption of other good and neces-
sary foods, particularly those con-
tanning an abundance of minerals
and vitamins. Children therefore
can best take sweets in the form

thinkers who surround the Presf.
dent and give him such poor politi-
cal advice.
There will be a condition in the
next congress that will be worthy of
watching. Surely, no one will ex-
pect Tydings and Smith and George
and Clark of Missouri and six or
eight other senators to go out of
their way to support a Roosevelt
program in which they may not
believe. There is the nucleus. There
were already 20 or more senators of
that mind. With those reelected
after overcoming the purge" it
seems reasonable to suppose that as
little political credit as possible will
be given to the President.
House members nearly always
keep in close touch with the sena-
tors of their respective states, par
ticularly if they are of the same po-
litical faith. They will take encour-
agement from the forthrightness of
their seniors and, quite naturally,
will be holder and more outspoken.

Democratic Leader Rayburn to hold
his majority together in the house
of representatives because of this
new-found courage and, in some
cases, resentment.

Their analysis seems to offer evil

President can control the Democrat
ic national convention of 1910. That,
after all, is one of the things at
stake in the Presidents ill-starred

age; Forced Realgnment Seen Complete Flop.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg, Washington, D. c.

WASHINGTON.-There was quite
sermon, for me, in the telegram
of congratulations that Virginia S
great leader, Sen. Carter Glass, sent
to Senator George upon the occa-
sion of Senator Georges victory in
the attempted New Deal purge
in Georgia. I don't know why that
telegram was not more widely print
ed, but it was typically like Carter
Glass, so cryptic, so full of mean
ing, that I am going to reprint il
here:
Senator Walter F. George, At
lanta, Ga.
"God bless you, Walter. Like
wise, the sovereign State of Geor-
gia.
"Signed. Carter Glass"
To get its true meaning, one
has to recall that Senator George
was the third Democratic sena-
tor, in a row, who was openly
opposed by President Roosevelt
the third marked to be "purged"
from the Democratic party and
the third in row to be victorious
over the Presidents ill-advised
attempt to dominate voters of a
state, and, in due course, the con-
gress of the United States, by
personally picking the Democratic
party nominees.
Next, Mr.. George had been sub.
jected to perhaps the strongest New
Deal slap by the President, of any
of the nine senators whom the Pres.
ident originally described as mer
behind the times. It will be re.
called how Mr.. Roosevelt, with Sen.
ator George on the platform, spoke
his blessing of United States Attor.
ney Camp at GAINESVILLE, Ca, and
announced his conclusion that Mr.
George represented the past, not the
future. It was on that occasion, too
that Mr.. Roosevelt uttered the now
famous: God bless you, Walter;
hope we will always be friends"
The third feature to be remem.
bered is that Mr.. George won, that
former Governor Talmadge was
second and that the New Deal can.
didate was third in the race, and
that Mr.. Georges victory was sc
overwhelming that there was nc
need for a run-off primary-the
method in the solid Democratic
states of choosing between the two
highest candidates from the prima.
ry vote. This means that a ma.
jority of the voters-more than sc
per cent-voted for Mr.. George.

indispensable for Most People

Sugar is such an indispensable
ingredient in cakes, cookies, pies,
buildings and ice creams, it is so
necessary in beverages, on break
fast cereals and with fruits that it
seems great hardship to do with
out it even for one meal.
We are extremely fortunate,
most people will agree, to live in
an age when sugar is SO high in
quality and so reasonable in price.
In the Thirteenth century when
sugar was introduced to England
through India, it cost the equiva-
lent of ten dollars a pound in the
monetary terms of today.
Refined sugar is now priced at a
few. cents a pound and one pound
supplies over l 300 calories! More
over, when you buy a branded
product, backed by wellknown
name, you have the assurance
that quality and purity are of the
highest.

WHAT to EAT and WHY
of sweetened buildings, gelatin,
cooked and fresh fruits, and fruit
juice and milk beverages.
A Food of Many Forms

The quick pickup of sugar can
be obtained in many forms be-
sides the sparkling crystals of
granulated sugar with which we
are most familiar, or the brown
sugar which is quite similar in
composition, except for a larger
moisture content, despite popular
notions to the contrary.
Most fruits contain easily di-
gestible sugars, the percentage in
dried fruits ranging from so to
rs per cent. Milk sugar is also
easily digested. Honey, molasses,
corn strip and the popular blended
sirups are usually eaten in COM
bination with other foods and are
therefore unlikely to be con-
sumed in too large amounts.
Corn strip is often added to
milk, fruits. vegetables, cereals,
breads and desserts. 1t helps to
make these foods more palatable
and adds 60 calories with every
tablespoon. 1t is so easily digest
ed that it is often used in infant
feeding.
Molasses provides significant
amounts of both calcium and iron
and is a good sweet for growing
children. One and one-half table
spoons of molasses supplies as
much calcium as one and one-half
cups of diced carrots. 1t is a
wise mother, therefore, who uses
it in making the cookies that chill
dren like SO well.
The mixed or blended sirups
that are so popular with griddle
cakes and french toast on cool
fall days, also add palate appeal
and energy values to the diet.
For in whatever form sugar is
consumed, it remains natures
shortcut to press-the-butt0n heat
and quick, healthful stimulation.

Presidents Prestige Has
Suffered Heavy Damage

Couple these facts with Senator
Tydings' victory over Rep. David J.
Lewis for the Democratic senatorial
nomination in Maryland, and Sen.
"Cotton Ed" Smiths substantial
margin over Governor Johnston in
South Carolina, and it appears to me
that several conclusions are proper
and justifable. Mr.. Roosevelt went
into South Carolina in behalf of Gov
ernor Johnston and he went into
Maryland to promise construction of
several huge Chesapeake bay
bridges and to point to the good
qualities of Representative Lewis.
Yet, the Presidents wishes were
well ignored.
The conclusions I have reached
and I believe they will stand the
most critical test-are:
1. Mr.. Roosevelt is unable to
transmit to his followers the same
personal popularity that he has en-
joyed since entering the White
House.
2. His prestige as a political lead
er, which undoubtedly was slipping
to some extent before, has now suf-
fered irreparable damage.
8. The congress that will be elect
ed in November will be the most
independent, indeed, probably the
most obstreperous, that the Presi-
dent has faced, and that spells trou-
BILE in big way.
4. There can be no discounting the
influence that victories for the con-
servatives, like those won by Tyd-
ings, Smith and George, will have
on the rest of the country in the
November elections. It is an hon.
est statement, I believe, that there
are numerous voters who have been
wavering between the New Deal and
the conservative school of thought,
and a large percentage of them will
turn to conservative candidate when
they have a chance. They will be
| Influenced strongly, and that fact
worries the New Deal thinkers at
| the moment.
