Pride, Courage, Skill
Keep Tony Fighting.

It wacs Tony's duke, and he never
deserved one more. 1t was pride
that drove him back into the fire
of McLarnin's famous right, which
had half paralyzed him at the
start. Pride is not much good with
out courage, and it was courage that
carried him through the next few
rounds. But pride and courage COM
bined are no good against a man
Of McLarnin's caliber without skill,
and Tony had ring skill in the
highest degree.
What made that fight all the more
impressive, however, was the fact
that is should have been Tony's
last stand. He was thought to be
washed up. And, when he reversed
the fate of Custer and came out
smiling, tired, and bloody winner,
the boys, agreed that this was the
fitting time for Tony to quit-on
the heels of his greatest victory.
Unhappily, three years later, this
same Canzoneri is shuffling through
the lobbies of fight clubs in search
of one more fight. And the man he
wants to fight is the strongest and
most destructive fellow in the world,
outside Of Joe Louis-Henry Arm
strong.
Tony needs money badly. When
he returned to the ring a few months
ago, he knew there was only one
card in the deck for him. To make
a good, substantial strike before
age and punishment stopped him
dead, he had to fight Armstrong,
and that right speedily.
He has rushed through his buildup
tour, boxing just enough to get
the feel of it again and satisfy
himself that he will make a fight of
it with Armstrong and not Roman
show.
Pride will force him to be in the
best condition he can achieve now,
at the age of 49, The same pride,
of course, should keep him out of
the ring altogether, but the wolf
at the door has a louder voice than

PEAK OF WAR DISABLED
STILL TEN YEARS AWAY.

One of the greatest tragedies OF the
World War will not reach its peak for
another 10 years, 80 years after the
Armistice, Department Commander
Louis A. Riesch of the Veterans OF
Foreign Wars of the United States, said
at a meeting of his organization, ac-

average of 600 cases of mental collapse
among World. War Veterans are &C.

Using recent testimony given before
the House Committee on World Wal
Veterans Legislation as the basis of his
talk, Commander Riesch explained that
the physical and mental condition OF
disabled Veterans makes mandatory ar

PERSON AL|T|ES
Ru REV Il A HEINZ
BY REV. E. A. HEINO

Professor Alexander Monte, who will
address the Finnish National Lutheran
Church convention on Tuesday, has had
a varied career. Born in Finland, he
came to the United States as young
man and Immediately began to avail
himself of the opportunities offered
here for higher education. He has
studied at Valparaiso University, Kala-
mazoo State Teachers college and the
University of Chicago. He has held
executive positions in high schools in
northern Michigan and in the Philippine
Islands. Prof. Monte was the U. S.
superintendent of public schools in the
Philippine Islands for seven years pre-
vious to accepting the call to become
a professor at Concordia Theological
Seminary in Springfield, Illinois, in
1888. Perhaps the most widely Travelled
attendant at the convention, Prof.
Monte has made two trips around the
world.
Rev. G. A. AhO, president of the
Finnish National Lutheran church,
1
Ev. Lutheran church. Pastor Aho
resided here from 1926 to 1884. In
addition to his duties as president
of the church body, he serves con-
gregations at Ashtabula, FairpOrt
and Cleveland, Ohio. He is complet-
ing his second four-year term as
president, having been elected to the
highest office in the church in 1881.
The Finnish language is considered
one of the most difficult to learn by
anyone not of Finnish descent. AT the
convention, Rev. r. Hermann of Lid
derdale, Iowa, will address the delegates
in Finnish. Pastor Hermann was born
in Germany and did not learn Finnish
until he had been in the ministry many
years. He has acquired a knowledge
of Finnish largely by study of Finnish
books. He has attended all of the re-
cent conventions as the representative
of the Missouri Synod Lutheran church
body. The older delegates, who are un-
able to speak in English, look forward
to greeting and conversing in Finnish
with Pastor Hermann.
Candidate RENO w. Heikkinen,
who will be ordained Saturday even
ing was the youngest of ten children
orphaned by the death of his father
twenty-five years ago. His mother,
carried on nObly the task of supply
ing the needs of the children, the
oldest of whom was only Is years of
age. The happiest and proudest at
tendant at ordination will be Mrs.
Heikkinen.
Rev. A. E. Kokkonen, editor of the
"Auttaja," official publication of the
Finnish National Lutheran church, is
one of the most versatile pastors of the
church body. A booklet of poems
written by Pastor Kokkonen was pub
lished in April. Previously, he hao
written not only the words but also the
music for the official National Luther
League song Onward" The First Ev
Lutheran choir will sing this song al
the Gospel Festival next Sunday after
noon. Rev. Kokkonen is also a gifteC
painter of portraits. 1t is not otter
that one individual is preacher, editor
Ipoet, musician and artist.

are unable to obtain employment on
Government Relief Projects. If they
receive as much as $1,000 a month gov
eminent pension, they are ineligible for
government employment, Commander
Riesch said, though $1,000 month is
obviously inadequate for the necessities
of life.
"The United States Civil Service al
lows veterans 10 per cent benefit for
disability" Commander Riesch said.
''But, because these Veterans seeking
Civil Service jobs are disabled, they are
refused Civil Service employment"
The average government compensation
allowed service connected World War
veterans is $4,000 a month, he ex-
planned, while more than 10000 nom
service connected disabled Veterans are
receiving only $4,000 a month each.
Commander Riesch called upon all Vet
Grams to refute the propaganda that
disabled World War Veterans are living
in luxury with pensions amounting to
500 or $3.50 per month.

Ydnks Prove How
They Feel About
Niuht Baseball

NEW YORK, June 29. (UP)-
Night baseball today was under
serious indictment by the New York
Yankees.
Beaten Monday night under the
lights, the YankS came back in the
daylight yesterday to slug the Ath-
letics to defeat twice, 1872 and
1910. The same club that could
make only four hits off a pitcher
Henry Pippen) who had never
before won an American league
game collected 33 runs, 43 hits for
a total of 81 bases and cracked two
all-time major league records and
one American league mark in the
bargain.
The Yanks have never wanted
night ball and don't want it now.
They spoke their resentment with
their bats yesterday.
BY hitting eight home runs in
the first game, the Yanks smashed
the record of seven set by Detroit
in 1886 and equalled six times,
(once last June 6 by the Giants.
BY adding five more homers in
the nightcap, the Yanks set a new
mark of l3 homers in two consecu-
tive games, breaking the old rec
ord of II which they made in 1886.
BY making in the first game 27
hits which totaled SO bases, they
set a new American league mark,
SURPRISING the old figure of so
which the Yanks set in 1882.
The homers were divided this
way: first game-DiMaggio 2, Dahl
gren 2, Dickey, Selkirk, Gordon,
Henrich-8. Second game-Gordon
2, Crosetti, DiMaggio, Dahlgren.
The "patched-up" Giants moved
into second place by scoring their
fifth straight victory, IL, over
the Phillies, who the past two days
have looked like the worst major
league team in the last 10 years.
Dizzy Dean, making his first start
in st. Louis since the Cardinals
traded him to the Cubs, was a
complete flop and didn't last the
first inning, but Chicago came on
TO win.
Larry French, who came in in
the seventh, was credited with the
victory.

Mob at Home
Cheers For Tony,
Win or Lose

ORANGE, N. j., June 20. (UP)
AT PIP am. today pudgy Tony
Galento pushed through the milling
mob in his saloon and ordered
drinks ON the house. He didn't act
like a man who had just taken
the beating of his life, but his face
was swathed in enough bandage to
wrap a mummy.
Yea Tony" the crowd yelled.
1--WE want Tony. Win, lose or draw
you're our Tony. You fought him
too clean"
Tony didn't linger long to listen
to their adulation. He retired to
the kitchen to talk with his man
ager, Joe Jacobs.
The crowd kept screaming about
the unfairness of Referee Artie
Donovan in stopping the fight
while Tony was still on his feet.
They didn't know that Tony had
just come from the doctor. They
didn't know that under those ban
dages % surgical clamps were hold
ing Tonys battered features to-
gether.
Then the police came and cleared
all but about 200 out of the saloon.
Galento came out of the kitchen
with his manager, and little "Sir
Echo" Jacobs began challenging
Louis for another chance to win the
heavyweight title next September.
He said if necessary Tony would
fight Lou Nova to prove he rated
another chance.
When Jacobs had finished, Tony
croaked through the cotton, Tanks
gang, but I gotta get home and get
some sleep now" He and Jacobs
climbed into an automobile and
pulled away accompanied by the
sirens of police escort.
