CAGNEY BOXES
ESP0 SITO; Lee.
FACES FELDMAN
By BOB ADDIE

What was to have been fistic
coronation will be only another
swing session - with fists - at
Goldie Ahearn's Monday melanges
of modified mayhem at Griffith
Stadium tonight. This is the
night, you remember, when the
featherweight crown was to have
been snatched from the over
crowded head of Henry Armstrong
and placed on the brows of either
joey Archibald or Tony Dupre.
But Archibald was put down for
the count by flu germ so the
fight was postponed. Goldie is
hopeful his two substitute bouts
tonight will make the fans forget
(only for tonight, mind youO about
Archibald and Dupre.
TEMPTING CARD
On the surface, the double fea-
ture looks very tempting. One
eight-rounder will show Paul Lee
against Lew Feldman while the
other will pit Cal Cagney opposite
Larry Esposito, who is subbing for
Bobby CorteZ.
Maybe Lee is one of these merry
go-round fighters-he isn't going
anywhere-but he at least will
provide a lot of action before the
merry-go-round breaks down. Paul
is a very democratic fighter-he
has met nearly everybody in the
last five years.
The ex-Tennessee hill-billy isn't
so bad at his trade either. He was
good enough to press Mike Belloise
to the limit a couple of weeks ago,
and they do whisper (the they"
in this case being the press agent,
Lee and his wife) that Paul was
robbed.
CLEVER BOXER
Feldman is about two days older
than War, but he still has enough
ring craftsmanship left to outstep
these modern kids. Lew is a
pleasure to watch if you enjoy
watching boxer stop blow with
something else than his chin.
In fact, Feldman gave Henry

comes to us from the hand Of
the lady who wrote Wake Up And

most gratifying financial success out
of her sales to the public of that recipe
book for being loved and lovely. In
her present work she ironically enough,
tells of the career of a female seller of
nostrums, one who began as a cosmetic
maker and ended up as a religious
leader with an international cult of
love and beauty cut of which she
made several millions. Mrs. Brande,
however, is not strong on irony and
she does little to point the moral Of
her heroine's extremely well-paying
career. She deals with it tenderly

 The supreme court ruling has al- ready resulted in action in number of cities and towns. Bank nights and other such plans have been ordered ended.
 The ruling, written by Chief Jus tice William Maltbie, held that bank night is a direct violation of the state lottery laws. The decision de- clared that the plan is contrary to public morals, that "it encourages /. the gambling instinct, and that cit makes an appeal to the baser ele- ments" in theater patrons nature.
 The ruling was made on test case in which Ernest Dorau, Mid dletown theater man, was arrested and fined.
 Societies Affected
 Should the authorities in Water bury decide to extend the ban to public bingo games, the effect would be felt at once by many churches, societies and fraternal organiza- tions which sponsor such games regularly. Bingo is played every night in the week in halls about the city, and hundreds of players take part in the games each night.
 Several theaters have been spon- soring plans in which cash awards are given to lucky patrons. Accord ing to the prosecutor, they must drop these plans at once.

Over The Hin' Broosid d e Recom- mended for Treat ments State Farm Scored
 in Counsel's
 Appeal.

Attorney William K. Lawlor in city court today asked that a man held as an inebriate be sent to Brookside for treatment rather than to the state farm for in- ebriates at Norwich. Earlier this week, the public welfare council reported to Governor Wilbur L.. Cross that the state farm is "ab- solutely useless and that. is more jail than 8 place for giving proper treatment to inebriacy.
 Judge Edward Mascolo acceded to Attorney Lawlor's request. He sentenced the accused to the town house for 8 period of 30 days.
 Attorney Lawlor, who appeared in court as counsel for the mans wife, declared that the man could be given better care at Brookside than at Norwich.
 we've had cases there in the past" he said, "and there have been some results. If the court will send this man there for a time, feel that something can be done for him for his own good" |"
 The public welfare council, in a report to the governor, recom- mended that the state farm at Norwich either be abolished or completely reorganized. The farm, stated the report, is overcrowded, that no constructive work is done for persons sentenced to terms there, and that is seriously handi- caps the state hospital at Norwich, with which it is connected.
