Supt. Roach told The Democrat today he did not believe that Klein had any hand in the boys disap- pearance, but that his actions had led police to wish a further check up on his story. Chief Inspector Stevens said that Klein told Mrs. Grady yesterday afternoon that he and a partner, MT. Jackson, spe- cialized in securing the return of missing children. Jackson, he said, was at the time conferring with po- lice. An investigation showed that no MT. Jackson had done so, and Klein was arrested. Police were ques- tioning him further at headquarters today.
 Police Check Cars
 Still Investigating the possibility that a car may have struck the boy and the driver picked him up to dis pose of the body elsewhere, police were checking on number of au- tomobiles today. Roads near the boys home were searched for blood spots, but none was found.
 Stories of witnesses who reported seeing 8 small boy and dog near the Scovill dam Thursday afternoon led the search to that point. The quest was without success at press hour.
 Chief Thomas Cavanaugh direct- ed a crew of flremen near Dallas avenue, in Mill Plain, as swamps and ponds were drained.
 Missing Since Thursday
 Jackie has been missing since mid-afternoon Thursday. He went out to play about 3 o'clock. Varying stories of his being seen in different places after that time have been given to police, and all have been under investigation. But still there has been so sign of the boy.
 The woods and swamps near the boys home have been gone through numerous times by literally hun dreds of searchers, without success. Failure of this search led police to study other theories on the lads strange disappearance.
 Search Is Renewed
 At dawn today policemen, fire- men and civilians renewed the search, halted temporarily late last night. The work of dragging the Scovill dam, between Harpers Ferry road and Hamilton park, began anew, with policemen and firemen, in park department boats, using grappling hooks.
 Dragging of the dam was begun early last night. with three flood lights pressed into service, along with the fire department generator Yesterday afternoon Anthony Bi- ancardi, of Wildemere avenue, told police he had seen a dog resembling Brownie, Jackie's dog, near the dam.

One year ago this month Manuel
Ortiz OF El Centro was crowned
amateur flyWeight champion of the
United States. He was acclaimed
the outstanding amateur fighter
OF the year. the outstanding pros
pect for success in professional
ring campaigns.
Today Manuel has a ranking
among flyweights OF the nation.
but his ranking is not among the
first ten as ring experts predicted
it would be when he won the ma
tional amateur crown.
Searching for a reason We can
point to but one possible solution.
or maybe two. Manuel was King
among amateur flyweights and
won bouts without particularly
hard preparation. He won all bouts
because only a few Of his opponents
were topnotchers.
In professional ring wars, how
ever. every opponent is a tough
hurdle and therefore each bout
calls for careful preparation. The
preparation insures perfect physi-
cal condition and complete knowl-
edge of style of the opposition.
Manuel. a natural flyweight. also
made the mistake of meeting ban
tamweights and even light feather
weights in his earliest bouts. The
result was that he received more
punishment than he would have
had he stuck to his own division.
Fighting overweight bouts is like
trying to pull a loaded truck with
an automobile. Construction of the
machine will not stand the over
load.
Manuel is fighting in his own
division at the present time. II he
is content to stay in his division,
and wait for fights rather than
seek bouts with heavier opponents,
he may. with proper conditioning.
again rise as the nations most
promising young flyWeight.
How About Herman?
As long as We have started on
boxing we may as we'll look TO
the record of Herman Graves, now
campaigning in professional rings.
Herman. also from El Centro,
was defeated in the finals OF the
national tournament in Boston last
season. as a middleweight. Unlike
Manuel. Graves started his profes-
sional ring competition in the well
terweight brackets. one notch be-
low his regular division.
Graves has been defeated only
once since he turned professional

and has Chalked up four straight
victories. His most recent success
was his k.o. win over Dick Ritchie
in San Diego Ritchie had held
Bobby Pacho 10 a draw in pre-
yiouS battle.
Graves is planning his campaign
rather carefully. He is not meeting
topnotehers until he is ready. And
he is developing rapidly.
And Now The Hogues
Now We come TO the valleys
most recent boxing stars. the Hogue
twins. Shorty and Bigboy Hogue
have already won the southern
California and Far West cham
pionShipS in the welterweight and
middleWeight divisions. and are
heavily favored to annex in the
national tournament
All things being equal the twins
VIII turn professional as soon as
they complete their stands in the
finals of the National tournament.
The twins are actually too young
to enter professional competition
at the present. time but there is
a chance that they can line up
stable of fighters to pick up eXper-
ience IN ring strategy.
Shorty and Bigboy have little to
learn. compared to other amateur
fighters. as far as hitting and de-
fensive fighting are concerned. 1t
would be advisable. however, for
them to accumulate a bit of ring
strategy before they attempt to
wrest national crowns from the
heads of present professional
champions
We will grant thai the twins will
face a difficult problem in deter
mining which course to take after
they compete in the national tour
nament.
Perhaps they might apply that
old Chinese proverb. Muddy waters
stirred become muddier; touch
them not and they will clear them
selves.
