Nedomafsky Is Tonic
D. {. Boxing Needs,
Despite Defeat
PIeoses Fans in Bottle
With SponeIer; Wills
Won't Mix With Dell
By LEWIS F. ATCHIsON.

Dy LEWIS r. "A Nn1SONs
Ivan Nedomatsky, former Univer-
sity of Maryland ring star, will try
to cash in on his fistic ability rather
than the degree he received from
his alma mater, and if last nights
bout with Joey Spangler was a cri-
terion the leather-hued, sleek
haired slasher, despite his defeat,
can mop up tidy sum here in
Wa Ilington.
There was time when Ivan toyed
with an idea OF continuing his pur-
suit of knowledge in medical school,
and he turned professional under
Prof. Pete Reilly's capable manage
ment with the idea of fighting only
enough to pay the freight at the
school. Then Ivan-the Southern
Conference welterweight champion
and Reilly parted company.
But last night, Nedomatsky. rusty
after eight months vacation from
the ring, was convincing figure as
he dogged Spanglers shadowy foot
steps, knocking him down once and
trying for finishing punch
throughout the entire six rounds.
Spangler, too, splattered Ivan with
a shower of nervous, stinging
punches, and when he gamely
fought back after wobbling pre-
cariously from a two-f1sted attack
to the jaw. the crowd arose as a
man and cheered for joey.
Ivan Wants Return Match.
AS matter Of fact the fans gave
the pair one Of the most appreciative
hands two fighters ever have re-
ceived at the stadium.
In the dressing room after it was
all over Nedomatsky was much dis
turbed by the verdict.
I'm going in for boxing seriously"
he said. And that loss is a blotch
on my record. I should have
whipped him-should have put him
away so there would be no doubt
about it. I want him back. I'll
knock him out the next time. I
want to show them I can do it."
Ivan can make decent living
with his fists in Washington and
help revive the ring game because
the town is bereft of box -of1ice at
fractions and he has the color and
punch fans like to see.
Wills Fails to Make Grade.
frankie Wills, the basement
voiced youngster who has been
knocking about these many months,
last night blew an opportunity to
blossom out as a main-eventer by
holding, pulling and ducking his way
into an eight-round defeat by Carl
Dell.
1t was supposed to be the feature
attraction, but the Nedomatsky-
Spangler duel took the play away
from it,
Al Lowman, fine prospect from
Baltimore, kayoed Jim Williams of

with Vic Finazzo to a draw, but

would say, offhand, that the real

Coy" by itself, makes no sense.
There are many variations of the
story of how the phrase started, but
all Of them agree that it started in
connection with curly-haired fell
low named Norman Selby, better
known in fight circles as Kid Mccoy
Boiling all these theories together
the gist of them is that a phoney
fighter was billed in a certain town
as Kid Mccoy" that he smelled out
the joint and that subsequently Mr..
Selby took pains to bill himself as
"the real MCCOY" to protect him.
self and the public from bogus Nc

1t All Comes Bock to Him,
DecIores Mr.. SeIby.

It's possible that Mr.. Winchell has
burrowed back into history and
found an earlier use of the idiom,
unconnected with Kid Mccoy. But
don't think so. Neither does Mr..
Selby.
"All that real Mccoy stuff comes
back to me, and nobody else but
me, says Mr.. Selby modestly. What
other Mccoy did you ever hear of?"
Well, when you get right down to
1t, there have been other McCoys,
though Mr.. Selby may be right when
he implies that they would be better
dead. Right among the middle
weight champions, where Mr. Selby
fourished, there was another Mccoy.
This was AL Mccoy Q9l4-l9lO and
the funny part of it is that he
had no more right to the name than
Mr.. Selby did.
There are two world middleweight
champions today, Fred Apostoh and
AL Hostak. These boys are unique
IN the fact that they use their right
names. They seem to have moth
Ing to hide, except the amount of
their incomes. It's a rare middle
weight champion who employs his
own handle.

The greatest Of all lightweight
champions was man named Joseph
Camp, who shucked oysters under
that label until he became Joe Cans
And Camp lost his title to fellow
who was very f1nicky indeed about
the spelling of his name, i.e., Mr.

Neither John nor Michael could

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u

(Cont1nued from rage ~
but Mussolini has also sent to Libys
Marshal Pietro Badoglio, conquerer
of Ethiopia; he is now the chief of
the general staff of the Italian army,
and whenever he crosses the Mediter-
ranean for Africa, it is usually on
important missions of some kind.
Also, Italy keeps on mobilizing its
army reserves, and although war in
tents are scorned in Rome, it is adj
mitted that "secret mobilization" is
in progress. Why?
That's what, for instance, France
would like to know, and to forestall
the answer, that country is also pre-
pairing itself to meet any emergency
that may arise.
In Germany recruits ordinarily
summoned for army service in the
autumn have already been ordered
to report during February, and the
announcement is permitted that the
German air corps is "95 percent
ready; by March 6, Germany is ex-
pected to be fully prepared for any
immediate mobilization which may
be ordered. And why?
That is what Great Britain likes
to know, for in London they do not
look very calmly at the trend of
events in Germany and Italy. For
that reason Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain on Monday of this week
before the House of Commons re-
iterated the British governments
pledge to come to the aid of France
in case of need.
Conference RumOrs.
Would a great-power conference
stave off the threat of war? Per-
haps. But most likely not the kind
of conference which repeatedly is
being planned between Mussolini,
Hitler and Franco. These three men
will, according to as yet uncon-
firmed stories, very soon meet in
Northern Italy to discuss European
problems of mutual interest" There
is nothing very reassuring in that,
and, pending confirmation of the re-
ports, Great Britain and France are,
plainly, on edge. For it seems-at
this moment-obvious that if the con-
ference takes place, Mussolini will
make an outright demand on France
for Tunis; he will be supported by
Hitler, and since it is assumed that
by that tine Franco will be the &C
tual head of new Spanish govern
ment, he, too, will lend his aid in
return for the immense support given
him by Mussolini.
France will not yield on the Tunis
demand, and Great Britain stands
ready to strengthen the French re-
fusal.
So-whats next?
Fear of Near Future.
Europe is awaiting further devel-
opments with great deal of amply
warranted suspense and with not
little fear, for, the tension being what
it is, any seemingly minor conflict
can become tragically serious on
moments notice. Ever so many in
dications point toward the possibility
of a war, but there is, of course,

Frank FredricksOn

Frank Theodore Fredrickson, who
passed away in the Finlayson COM
munity on February 10, after an
illness of one week, was born in
ST. Paul Dec. Is, 1887, and had lived
all his life in this country. He came
to the Finlayson community in 1898
where he had been active in the
community life, having served on the
village council and was a member of
the Izaak Walton League
Mr.. Fredrickson served from 1908
to 1910 in the Philippines with the 9th
Regiment, Co. E., U. S. Infantry and

member of the Apostolic Lutheran
church.

in marriage to Miss Hilda Kettula
of Finlayson, who survives him as
does daughter, Mrs. Lyman Lee,
and granddaughter, Barbara Lee. He
is also survived by sister in Cali

always, hidden somewhere, the hope
that it may be averted.
1t may be that Mussolini changes
his mind about Tunis, someone has
suggested. That is not very likely;
what may be of Importance would
be willingness on Italy's as well
as on Frances part to agree on some
sort of compromise regarding North
Africa, but if such possibility does
exist, it is not easily perceptible.
Under the circumstances it is use
less to conceal the fact that the fear
of war is gripping Europe, almost as
terribly as during the last days of
September, last year, when the peace
of the Old World was jeopardized by
Germany's demands for Czecho-

Madman's Shot.
It wouldn't, as many people seem
to think, make much difference if
Mussolini were assassinated, for he
foresees all emergencies and has
trained men to succeed him and to
pursue his policies The other day
there were reports that an attempt
on his life had been made, but out
side Italian borders it is impossible
to affirm or deny. The story, as it
has been passed by rigid Roman CEN
sors, is to the effect that just as the
dictator was leaving his private resi-
dence in Rome, someone shot in the
general direction of his person, the
bullet hitting one of the bodyguards.
An obvious question would be: Why
should anyone care to kill an OBJ
scure and perfectly innocent body
guard? Wouldn't it be natural to be-
lieve that bigger game was intended?
Anyhow, after having been duly
censored and edited, the story got
out of Rome in such a form as to
leave the impression that man,
recently released from an insane
asylum, had fired the shot, and that
it wasn't aimed at Mussolini, at all.
For the thesis is that there is not
in all Italy any person who would
be stupid enough to so hate the
dictator as to be willing to risk his
own life in an attempt to take Mus
solini's. The fascist governments
presumption is invariably that every
one likes its head, nay, loves and
admires the chief So, for the time
being, there is only the official Ital-
ian version to consider

Some Snow!

Ejnar o. johnson lives only "a mile
east of the former North Star club
hall, 8 miles north of town. After
the snowplow had opened the main
highway into town Tuesday morn
ing, Ejnar was quite sure that he
could go through with team and
sleigh. He started out in the fore
noon but after shoveling snow for
nearly two hours on the little three
quarter mile stretch, he had to give
it up. He left the team there and
started for town on foot only to find
that a little closer to town the snow
pillow was stuck in drift. When he
returned to the team after dinner
it took him another two hours to
shovel out sufficient space to get
turned around so he could get the
team back home.
