Jeff backed to the ropes as Battling
- Mccarthy rushed him, throwing leather
like madman. The crowd rose with a yelp-
ing roar scenting knockout. At that shrill
clamor for the kill, Jeffs bruised lips cMled
into a silent snarl. Let 'em howl till their
throats cracked, Mccarthy couldn't put him
away in this round.
Fight, va yellah bum! Stand up and fight"
a raucous voice beloved from the ringside,
the voice of fat, moon-faced man with blub
bering lip, and glistening bald head. Jeff
hated that foghorn voice which had bounded
him at every fight since the beginning of his
ring career - hated it with seething anger
that mounted to white-hot fury.
Smack him down. Bat!'' the fat man trun-
peted. "He can't take it! He's yellah!'
Yellow, was he! If he could only get that
fiat, pink moon-face in front of his glove
just once
Mccarthy came tearing in, reckless and
wide open. Jeff whipped his right straight
to the unguarded jowls Mccarthy came back
without blinking hammering with rights and
lefts. Jeff covered up, protecting his damaged
eye.
"You got him. Bat" the fat man howled
as the famous Mccarthy hook Jared Jeff
down to his heels. Hes goin'! He's goin'!'
Jeff fell blindly into clinch, tied up Nc
Carthys arms and hung on, painting, while
the referee tried to pry them part.
Hold him tight, Jeffie boy!" the raucous
voice jeered. Don't let him hurt ya!''
The bell!' Jeff thought wildly. where in
hell's that bell?"
CLANG!
Over in the corner Shorty slid the stool
under him, snatched the rubber guard from
his mouth and held up the water bottle.
How yuh feel, kid?" he queried. Shorty
was his manager, wise little bantam who
chewed gum and had eyes as bright as a birds.

sprawling on hands and knees.
Get up, punk Are va yellah?" That had
been his first blast from moon-face, jeering
at him from the ring apron. He'd got up at
three, face flaming, and the lights went out
as Spider tagged him again.
You'll learn, kid - you'll learn" Shorty
had said waving sal ammoniac under his
nose WE'LL he had learned, first to absorb
punishment, then to minimize it, and finally,
to dish it out himself. But even in victory the
booming voice lifted in jeering insult. Lucky!
Oh, boy, are you lucky Next time he'll
murder ya!'
PAY no attention to that mug" Shorty
would exhort Every fight crowds got
loud mouth like him. If you gotta hate some
body, hate the guy you're scrappin', then
you'll go places But Jeff didn't hate his
ring foes - only the fat faced man with the
raucous voice.
BUZZ! The ten-secOnd warning.
Shorty whipped the towel aside. Listen,

right He's feelin pretty cocky.'

"Okay," Jeff said YEARLY. Smoky and
Willie set about massaging his legs, their
black faces glistening with perspiration.
"Lemme look at that eye" Shorty said,
but he couldn't raise the swollen lid. Shorty
held piece of ice to the lump that was like a
purple plum. Can you hold on kid?"
What round is it,"
The tenth - coming up"
Yeah" Jeff said.
IF you stay on your feet, kid, III get you
this guy again. Next time you'll take him."
"Okay," Jeff mumbled, without enthusi-
asm. He had been knocked down in the
second, the fifth, and the seventh. Six more
rounds - If he could only get away from the
raucous voice of his fat-faced heckler -
Jeff screwed his head around and looked
down at the ringside seats. The moon-face
stared up at him, pink, sweating, hostile.
"Lookit that eye." the fat man chanted.
What an eye! What an eye'
Funny, how he hated the very sight of that
fellow, when he didn't even know his name.
There was Bat Mccarthy, for instance,
cutting him to pieces, yet he didn't hate Bat
like that, even with his dirty tricks. Earlier
in the fight Bat had butted him in clincb
and opened his eye. But Mccarthy was in
there doing job, working for money, while
this loud guy seemed to have a personal
grudge against him.
Jeff recalled his first pro fight - Spider

But Jeff was already halfway across the
ring, leaping to meet Mccarthy tigerish rush
head on. Bat was so surprised that jeff
staggered him with sucker right. Then Bat
Strengthened out his cocky grin and went to
it. Toe to toe they stood and slugged each
other, swinging f1at-footed, all defense thrown
aside in a stark matching of brute strength.
"Omigod!' Shorty walled, and swallowed
his wad of gum. The crowd rose as one man.
Jeff stood oblivious to time and place -
needless of the jarring thuds against his own
flesh in the fierce JOY of lashing out at his foe.
And somehow it seemed to be the fat mans
face behind McCarthys grin.
Right! Left! Right Left Right -
Jeff spun halfway around as his last punch
went wild. He whirled, painting, his head ring
ing - no, that was the crowd screaming -
The referees face swan into his vision, an
arm waved frantically toward a neutral
corner Suddenly he realized that not one
person in all these packed thousands was
watching him - he stood alone as on noun

enough with our Maryland law to
know that child has to be vac
cinated against smallpox before
he or she may be enrolled in any
public school in the State. Pro
lection against diphtheria is not
required by law, but parents have
it done voluntarily, in order that
their children mey be safeguarded
against this very dreadful disease.
I'VE have had only two cases
of smallpox in Maryland in eight
years and we hope eventually to
have an equally good record with
regard to diphtheria. During the
first six months of this year, nine
of the twenty-three counties of
Maryland had perfectly clean
states so far as this disease is
concerned without single case
of diphtheria in any of them. Our
goal is a clean slate for every part
of the State.
Last year over $4,000 young
children in the counties were pro-
tected against, the disease at the
public clinics arranged by the
County Department of Health.
Every year the number increases.
During the first six months of this
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1938-09-16

year, over 10000 young children
in Counties of Maryland were pro-
tected against diphtheria at the
county clinics or by their own
doctors. Thousands of the child
rem who live in Baltimore City
were safeguarded against the
disease at the City clinics or by
their family physicians. We hope
that in a few years, protection
against diphtheria will be as much
matter of course for all children
in Maryland as vaccination
against smallpox is now.
"Diphtheria is a very treacher-
Gus disease and very easily picked
up. Any child who has not been
protected against it, is likely to
contract it, if exposed to it. A
single shot of toxoid will give the
necessary protection
IF your child has not been pro-
tected against diphtheria, go to
your family doctor and have it
done. Don't put it off any long

IF you haven't already done it, :"
DR.. Riley said, take your young

physical examination, inclding
tests of vision and hearing. and to
your dentist for a checking-up on
any dental attention needed. Be

are two extra that are of special

attended to without further delay.
Number one is vaccination
against smallpox. Number two is
