MEAD WARNED HENRY
While I was getting ready in

said to me:
Henry, I've got a hunch Ross
Is going to come out punching
and try to take the play away
from you. If he does, wade in
there and punch him. Don't
back up. Don't grab-keep

Ross did exactly what Mr..
Mead thought he would do and
I did, to the best Of my ability.
what Mr.. Mead told me to do.
We both rushed out at the gong
and began banging away. But
I finally made him break
ground. The second was much

DUSEK SEEKING
CRACK At CASEY

Ernie Dusek, self-styled un-
crowned champion of the heavy
weight wrestling world, hopes to
convince Washingtonians of the
genuineness of his claims at Grit
fifth Stadium tonight when he
takes on Bibber Mccoy, reformed
ball player. Mccoy is depending
on the familiar background of the
ball park to give him the advan-
tage over the vicious member of
the DuSek clan. If it is raining at
ring time, the bout will be shifted
to Turner's Arena.
Dusek has been promised a bout
with his hated rival, Steve Casey,
If he can do away with Mccoy
tonight, which offer by Promoter
Joe Turner Is expected to inspire
Dusek to do his darndeSt.
The bout features card which
will bring together Hans Steinke

the full IS rounds. Just before
the end Of the third I Jared
Barney with a left hook to the
chin and ripped my right to his
heart. I knew had him then.
FELT ROSS WEAKEN
When I came back to my cor
nsr, Mr.. Mead said:
Does he feel like he is weak
ening, or is he still going good2"
I've got him hurt" I told
Mr.. Mead. HE fell into me at
the end Of the round, and he
seems to be on the rum"
Keep punching" Mr.. Mead
said.
Barney never had much Of a
chance after that, not that he
didn't try, but I kept piling in,
never letting up, and setting so
fast pace that he didn't get a
chance to throw any good
punches at me. Or he couldn't
land them, anyway.
Twice in the late rounds,
Referee Arthur Donovan wanted
to stop the fight, but Barney
wouldn't let him. He had made
up his mind to go out fighting,
like q champion, even II he went
out feet first.
HENRY SPARES ROSS
Finally back in the corner be-
tween the eleventh and twelfth
rounds, Mr.. Mead said:
you've got him all busted up
and he is determined to stay the
limit, so lay off his head and
punch him around the arms and
body, unless you see q chance
for O clean shot that will end
1t. I don't want you to bust him
up any more"

fight Of my hfe-told by me for

column informed us the other
day that he has enjoyed some
fine sport with big-mouthed bass
on artificial lures and, using live
minnows, has taken the limit Of
crappie, with an occasional jack
or pickerel for good measure.
And he was sportsman enough
to tell us the exact location.
Usually when you pin a fresh
water angler down as to where
he caught his fish he'll evade
the question or give you some
silly answer, such as, "Oh, up
the river" Well, here's the spot
where we're told they're really
striking: Take No. 2 route out
of Fredericksburg, Va, and three
miles this side of Bowling Green
there's a privately owned body
of water known as Forest Lake
Park, just alongside of a filling
station by the same name. Yes,
there's a fee to angle in this
splendid pond, but who cares
about the fare when there's fish
to be caught?

CHECKS PREPARED FOR WPA WORKERS
3,0OO Employees in New Haven County to Receive
 $lOO,OOO in Wages

Christmas cheer in the substan- tial form of more than $53O, O,000 in cash will be distributed to slightly more than 16,OOO WPA project work CTS in Connecticut during this Christmas week when pay checks for work periods up to and includ- ing December 21 are mailed from the United States Treasury Disburse- ment office in New Haven.
 In New Haven county, approxi- mately 5000 workers will receive cheeks totalling close to $100,00O before Christmas.
 Under normal conditions those workers whose pay periods close on the Fist would receive their pay checks five days later-on the 18th However, on orders from State WPA Administrator Vincent J. Sullivan payrolls for this period will be made up and cheeks mailed so as to reach the workers by Saturday-the day before Christmas.
 To make possible the actual re- cepits of these checks on Saturday the entire personnel of the finance division at WPA state headquarters in New Haven will put in many hours of overtime, for nearly every day of the week is pay day some where in Connecticut for some WPA workers. Thus 1t may be understood how advancing a pay date throws an additional burden on the finance division employees as well as upon the treasury disbursement workers
 Next week a similar program will be carried out and those workers whose pay periods close up to and including December 28 will be paid on or before Saturday, December 31.

COMMUNITY CAROL
 SING SCORES HIT
Police and Boy Scouts Kept Busy With Crowd
 on Center's Green

Waterbury's Community Christ mas Carol Sing drew throngs to the Green last night where the park de- partment had prepared their annual Christmas tree, the Connecticut Light & Power Co.,, had donated electricity and fixtures, and Clapp Rose & Vaughn had contributed decorations.
 Under direction of G. Loring Bur- well, the gathering sang the carols and hymns of Christmas tide; Miss Paulette Wolozin was given an ova- tion for her solos and led carol singing that followed; Waldo S Newberry, played accompaniment on the First Congregational Church organ.
 Rev. Francis M. O'Shea, perma- nent rector, of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, gave the invocations and Rev. Roger B. T. Anderson of Trinity Church, the benediction.
 The program started with a con- cert by the Waterbury WPA Band directed by Michael Mancini, and then chimes of St. John Church weer played by Roy T. Bywater. Miss Fannie Mccormack played a brief organ recital from the Con- gregational Church.
 Boy Scout troops were on duty and numerous police were assigned by Superintendent William J. Roach, who, with Deputy Daniel J. Carson, personally directed the force.
