That's different from the
average heavyweight who wants
to do his fighting that way.
Tony likes a glass of beer and
q good cigar. The boxing COM
mission seems to think Tony
should dunk a ladyfinger in
matted milk. Tony tried it and
got pneumonia. 1t seems to us
that the boxing commission
should not be allowed to prac-
tice medicine without a license.
One thing we guarantee about
Galento. When he climbs into
the ring there'n be a fight if
the other fellow stands still long
enough to throw a shadow.
The 24-foot ring is a very
small table when you have Tony
for dinner. When the heavy.
weights see Galento climbing in
the ring they want to put in an
extra leaf or two.

Everybody wants to fight Tony

he's a softer touch that goose
feathers.

BUgs BAer thoughts re-

Galento doesn't care who he
fights so long as there is only
a minute armistice between
rounds.

RANKING STARS
VIE FOR HONORS
IN DIXIE STAKES
By Lillian RIXEY

OF the 80 ranking women duck
pin artists in the United States,
at least Is will be on hand Satur-
day to take part in the Herald
Times Dixie Sweeps, which will
be staged in three blocks of three
games each.
The first block is scheduled for
1890 to 1870 p. m. at the Silver
Spring Alleys; the second, at Ar
cadia, to 2:30 p. m. and then.
following time out for refresh
ments, the third block will be
played at the Rosslyn Bowling
Alleys from 7:15 to 8:15 p. m.
Which makes Saturday something
of a progressive feast for feminine
bowlers.

Tony Fears Nothing

Tony Fears Nothing
Tony fears nothing that
creeps, craWls or rhumbas. He
is one man who will chase a
bear into hollow tree and get
sore if it had a back door.
Galento would follow him
right in and tangle up like boil
ing spaghetti. What fools the
fancy footworkers is that Tony
has no more style than a boy
wearing his fathers pants.
They figure they can go in
there and powder his nose with
the leather puff for 10 rounds.
And it works out all right
until Tony throws a five-knuc-
kied loop on 'em. Tony may
not always pin the tail on the
donkey but he sure keeps it
sWishing.
The Washington times., 1939-01-10

Always in an Argument
He's always in an argument
with the New York Boxing Com
mission over his method of
training. Tony wants to do his
Toadwork sitting down.

on the agricultural map are Ger
tain drought-parchcd areas Of the
west, where crops and income have
dropped to the lowest level in four
years.
Some Lines In D0ldrumS.
Only in the financial, Insurance,
real estate, and newspaper fields
has 1889 brought little TO cheer
about. Brokers have suffered as
security transactions (not prices)
plummeted to the lowest level since
1923. Insurance and real estate
statesmen have had lean pickings.
Newspaper advertising has inst
about matched 1888, while publish
ne costs nave moved on 10 aeW
highs Profit margins in some 9TH
er lines have not been SO big as
formerly and competition is keener
today than ever before. As a re-
suit, many individual businesses
have done poorly But remember,
even in 1929 one-third of all bust
ness were in the red!
100000 New Jobs.
Nearly 100000 now workers
have found Jobs Wages and "alar-
les have been steady to higher.
There have been about LOO strikes,
compared with 1000 last year, but
only the soft coal and Chrysler tie
ups were nationally serious Living
costs have inched mp. but 1855 tnau
five percent. Dividend checks have
learly doubled There is more cash
in the average farmers pocket. Real
estate-both city and farm-is a
shade better in price, although taxes
have again been increased. Rents
have been stable. All in all, it has
been a good year for most people
in America.
Few Cheers Heard.
Last January, I predicted in this
newspaper that "business by the
end Of 1889 would be as good as
perhaps even better than-at any
year-end since 1929" Business is
better than at any year-end since
1929; but there is little cheering
about it. Many people are bluer TO-
day than a year ago. Relief rolls
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1939-12-22

are just as long as ever. Employers
fear the industrial rise is merely a
war boom. Workers are worried
about higher living costs. Business
men, big and little, are frightened
to death Of taxes and {, third Term
for Mr.. Roosevelt. Meanwhile,
every one is afraid that we will be
drawn into the war.
So the curtain is about to fall on
a strange year; business best in a
decade, but people more worried
than during the dark days of 1892
So
1t is Christmas Weekend That
means it is no time to launch into
a deep discussion of our troubles.
My message today is simply that
1889 has been a good year and that
nearly every American is better off
today than a year ago. Moreover
want to assure readers that we
have nothing to fear in carly 1910,
either from q business depression
or from any ENHANCEMENT in the
European war.
Lastly, I want to Join with every
veader in a deep and ferVent prayer
that Christmas OF 1910 WILL ind
peace on earth and good will to-
ward men in all lands and among
all people. II we all do our part,
this prayer may be fulfilled.
