NEW YORK. July % fUP)-f
rained a steady downpour here in
New York last week and 1. for one,
see a connection between the weep
ing heavens and the rather amaz
ing batch of edicts Matched by the
New York State Boxing commission
on Wednesday.
Rain kejt the members of the
commission indoors and having no
thing better to do they undoutably
sat down and thought. Time has
proved that when the boxing COM
missioners think. the results are
more than apt to be alarming. They
we're this time. With one sweep of
the pen the Honorable MesSrs
pronounced Messers) took John
Henry Lewis light-heavyweight
title away from him and declared
the championship vacant in this
state: told Al Hostak his victory
over Middleweight Champion Fred
die Steele didn't mean a thing to
them and that he was not a cham
pion in their eyes, and threw the
flyweight division into fine tangle
by ordering an elimination tourna-
ment to decide a champion.
You know. the more rulings the
commissioners give off, the more
one realizes that they were born
too late. They should have lived
in the feudal days, when every
nobleman had his castle and his jes-
ters. What a following the COM
missioners would have had in the
role of royal entertainers. In my
minds eye l can see nobleman,
worn by a strenuous day of hunt
ing. perhaps, or dropping in spirit
after a mighty meal in the banquet
hall, calling out:
Send in the commissioners three;
l want a laugh
And in they come-the good Gen

The game was only two minutes

Joe, you see, was head over heels in love.
 Helen was the only daughter in Joe's boarding house. She was, as the Irish and Germans and Yan- kees put it, a Polack. That is a condescending word, but you couldn't condescend to Helen. The Poles are a clean and thrifty and gentle people, with remarkable beauty in their breed, and Helen at IT was all of that betuty ill flower. But these are only words; you'd have to know, to have seen the Towering of Polish beauty in a drab, bleached. colorless mill town setting to know what I'm talking about.
 I don't want to go too deeply into the subject of Helen. I don't care to think too much about it.. But this is life I am talking about, not something in love story. They must have made picture when they were together: Joe tall and Helen, tall and slender and at with a crisp sort e :aw and mouth and quick brown eyes, half way between rake and a gallant in his hardboiled, likeable way; and Helen, tall ad slender and at the same time round and bloom ing of breast, beautifully curved of body fair and clean of skin
