Boston, Sept. 28-(UP)-President

PEA probably will not run for re-
election as result of wrangling and
dissension in that sectional body, it
was believed today.
II feel have contributed enough
to the association" Higgins said
yesterday. "It's time now for some
one else to take over. I'm pretty de-
finite in that feeling right now"
Long-smouldering squabbles be-
tween players broke into the open In
the New England PGA champion
ship at Salem Tuesday when nearly
half the contestants were engaged
in arguments over .pairings. Harold
(Jug) McSpaden, Nepga titlist,
threatened to quit the tournament
when Harry Nettlebladt of Framing
ham insisted on being paired with
him. Third-round play was delayed
As minutes before compromise was
reached.
Two months ago there was anoth-

several Nepga members from COM

Conway, N. II.
The annual meeting Of the Nepga

GARCIA May BE
FAVORITE over
FRED APOSTOLI
Stellar Middleweights
Clash Monday Night
at New York
By JACK CUDDY

DIX JAIN GOOO1
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 28.-(UP)-The
10th Century club is paging Prof.
Albert Einstein to explain the laws
of relatively In connection with that
larruping lad from the Philippines,
Ceferina Garcia.
Garcia's problem is this: He
could lick neither welterweighs
Barney Ross nor Henry Armstrong
in his two challenges for the 147-
pound crown, yet he insists that he
will wrest the middleweight cham
pionship claims from Fred Apostolic
at Madison Square Garden Monday
night.
Add and subtract this: Apostolic
was good enough to give Light
;, weight Champion Billy Conn two
hard fights. And right now Conn
Is being considered as a possible
! contender for Joe Louis heavy
weight crown.
! Yet, you will find that there are
plenty of boxing experts in this
metropolis who agree heartily with
Garcia in his assurances that he
will lick the daylights out Of Apos-
toll Monday night.
If and when Prof. Einstein an
swers the 10th Century page, his
explanation doubtless will be:
Things are not just what they seem
If you've got yumph or bolo".
When the good professor mentions
"yumph or bolo" he is referring to
punch. And that is Ceferino's major
asset. When he socks you on the
puss, you 60 out like a Thursday
night servant gal.
Scale Trouble
The Filipino's manager, George
Parnassus, insists that Ceferino was
a natural middlewegiht when he
pared down to the 147-pound limit
to fight Ross and Armstrong and
that weight making made him so
weak he couldn't break one of those
fire-box glasses in case of a con-
flagration.
But, during the 10 months since
his encounter with Armstrong, Gar
cha has been campaigning as mid
dleweight and his right-handed
"bolo" uppercut has made him the
scourge of the division, with seven
kayoes in nine straight victories. He
even belted out the highly touted
Walter Pop Eye" Woods in his
last New York appearance. He
developed into the biggest and hard
est hitting Filipino ever to attein
ring prominence.
Going Back
Meanwhile, Apostoli, VIII o once
was considered the best all-around
fighter in the ring, apparently hit
the toboggan. In his last bout on
August %, Frisco Fred looked like
the perfect Palooka in winning
questionable decision over Glen Lee
at Pittsburgh. He had lost his
sparkle completely.
Because of Apostoli's showing with
Lee at Pittsburgh and Eris Seeing
at Cleveland, lot of experts are
picking Garcia to wrest thte title
claims from Frisco Fred, and the
Goth Century club is paking Prof
Einstein to explain the phenomenon
to those who inquire chow Gomez?

Tonight

Washington, Sept. 28-UP)-
joey Archibald Of Pawtucket. r. l.,
ruled q 2-1 favorite to retain his
featherweight title tonight in q Is
round bout with Harry Jeffra Of
Baltimore, Md.
The fight originally was sched-
uled for Sept. II, but was post
poned because Of q cut over Archi-
bald's eye suffered during a train
ing camp bout. The wound has
healed completely.
Between 10000 and 5000 per-
sons are expected to see the fight
between the two top-ranking fight
ers in q class that once was ruled
by such great boxers as Terry Nc
Govern, johnnie Dundee and Tony
Canzoneri.
Archibald arrived confident that
he will retain the championship he
won from Mike Beloise in 10 rounds
last year. His only title defense
was against Leo Kodak, whom he
defeated in IS rounds.
Jeffra will be the underdog de-
spite his more impressive record. He
has won six fights, three by knock
outs since he lost his bantamweight
title to Sixto Escobar in San Juan
last year. He has lost only three
fights in nine years of professional
boxing.
In six fights this year, Archibald
has won four and lost two. One
victory, over Jerry Hazza, was by a
knockout. Other victories were
liver AL Manchini, Kodak, and joey
Silva. He lost to Jimmy Gilligan
and Simon Chavez.

our ancestors owned was an indication
of their social standing! And they still
prefer aged. buried butter, reddish in
color, in Tibet. that strange land
where old butter mixed with boiled
tea leaves is considered delicacy -
just as the Chinese find aged eggs such
a treat and the Eskimos delight in
rotten meat and fish. As late as 1920
butter was still buried in Ireland.
In ancient Greece and Rome butter
was not used generally as food. but as
a cosmetic to rub on hair or skin, or
used incidentally. 1t was known as
"Oil of Milk" In late Roman days it
was often used as a dessert.
As late as the seventeenth century
it could be bought only in apothecary
shops in Spain. where it was used as
cosmetic and medicine. The first ex-
tenslve production of butter started
in the Scandinavian countries, where
it is still one of the major exports.

On PARTS of South America. butter
is still made in most primitive
fashion. Indians. on their burros'
launches, sit behind cans of cream
hanging over the animals sides. When
they have arrived at their customers
homes. the cream has been so thor
oughly logged up and down that it has
turned to butter. Ready to deliver
orders, the Indians thrust their hands
into the cream, lift out a buttery mass
and put it into cloth dangling in a
basket on the side Of the burro.
Moisture is then squeezed out and
presto! the butter is made.
This recalls an ancient legend of an
Aryan horseman, carrying his milk IN
a goatskin bag, who stopped for re-
freshments and found yellow Jumps
floating around in the bag They tasted
so good that he told his friends, who
put their milk bags on their horses and
proceeded to gallop madly until the
butter was churned. All butter was
made this way until man invented

Have you ever heard the old say

the end of a rainbow? Some say
it isn't true; others have their
doubts.
1t takes many years Of hard
work and study, many hours spent
in answering questions, taking ex-
aminations and many other small
but important things to reach the
end of a rainbow At the end of
these years those who have acquir-
ed a high school or college diploma
find, awaiting them, a cleaning
gold pot. When they peep inside it
they see something that can neith-
er be lost nor stolen-an education.
