What members enthusiastically
termed one of the best programs
they have ever had, was that given
by Mary Sonoda Saturday for the
club luncheon meeting at the Bar
bara Worth hotel.
Japan and its Customs of Today
was the speakers topic and she gave
a vivid picture all the more inter
esting since the speaker is an AM
erican japanese girl educated in
this country. Miss Sonoda is a gra-
duate of the Imperial Valley schools
and of the University of California,
Berkeley. She has just returned
from three years study in Japan
and gave a talk remarkably free
from bias.
Another enjoyable feature of the
program was the music, three jap
anese musicians presenting a splen-
did group of vocal solos and piano
numbers: Viola Honda, vocalist ac-
companied by May Uchida ana
Masako Yukawa, pianists.
Mrs. H. Lee Landerman was
chairman of the day.

beautiful setting for the ceremony.
French windows, opening into the

chrysanthemums and graceful l
sprays of hawthorne, making an
archway under which the young
couple exchanged their marriage
VOWS. The green and white decor
ations were accented by a bowl OF
pale blue blossoms in a silver bowl
placed on the mantel, and lighted
by candles in silver candlabra. The

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. l6. 'UP'
Well, you folks must be rich to-
day: riding around in Rolls-Royces,
PLANNING your winters in Palm
Beach, ordering new rugs for your
shooting lodge. and matriculating
the twins at Groton.
If you are not filthy rich it's your
own fault, because / certainly tip
ped you off on a short cut to wealth.
Only two days ago, in column
which is now being given serious
consideration by the Pulitzer COM
mittee, advised every one Of you
to bet, and heavily, on Tony Ga
lento TO beat Lou Nova. l don't
remember my exact wording, but I
believe / said Galento would stop
Nova in fourteen rounds, after
knocking him down several times
in earlier rounds, and cutting him
very badly.
Of course, all of this was in code.
LII Wdl tIiiC Ahe Oillo, q hioAi "OhAo
be foolish to express an opinion in
plain English. Even President
Roosevelt and Secretary of State
Cordell Hull have to use cipher to
get across their stuff. Through
out my message Of Thursday-my
white paper so to speak-I used
the word Nova when I meant Ga
lento. That is, to outwit the cen
sors who now study all my copy
for hidden meanings, reversed
the two fighters.
Naturally, made no mention OF
this. After all, if you explain your
code. you haven't any code. OF
course, most of you understand this,
but there will be few moronic,
ignorant, illiterate, and kick-in-the-
head-by-a-horse-at an early age
readers who took me literally.
Even as I write this some OF my
readers are breaking away from
their keepers, shaking off their
straightjackets, and grasping their

me, calling me everything under
the sun; inquiring why my office
pays me for such tripe: how much
the Nova organization gives me a
week, and howinhell do I get by
as a sportswriter, anyway.
But we'll pass lightly over that
feeble-minded minority, and tell
you of the fight. It went exactly
as I predicted (between the lines).
Galento is misunderstood genius.
just as Columbus was never ap-
preciated; just as Lord Byron was
hounded just as Leonardo was
passed by, and. Just as Henry Nc
Lemore (hear! hearD is derided
occasionally, Galento's qualities were
held up to scorn. The boxing world
was reluctant to recognize his
talents. But from the moment I
first laid eyes on him, in the process
Of having his third chin lifted, I
maintained stoutly that there was a
man. Psf 1t wasn't hip
popotamus.
But why am I wasting my time
writing a story about a fight be-
tween these two men? Heaven
knows, I must have made all the
money in the world on this fight.
Sure of a Galento victory I walked
into Philadelphia looking like a
fugitive from the mint. Money
dripped off my person Editors

tary; full name: Martin j. Person;

In one hour I drove the bookies
to cover. For every Nova dollar
that showed I had something to
cover it, You must have done the
same thing, unless you read me
purely for my literary style, and to
be truthful with you I couldn't be
mad If you did. Because after all,
my style, bad as it is, Is better than
my exporting.

into such a helpless hulk that Rel
cree Geogre Blake halted the fight
at 2:44 minutes of the 14th round.
Stop the Fight
And this wasn't soon enough Tor
hundreds of fans who had been
shouting from the fifth round on.
stop that fight! Stop that fight"
They were shouting because Gal
ento gashed Louis right brow IN
the third round with his smashing
left hooks-gashed his left brow ana
mouth in the fourtn-floored MIN
four times and caused him to slip
to the canvas two more times.
Handsome Lou was a blood-smear-
ed, punching bag. And after Tony
suffered cuts under his lower lip
and under his chin, the encounter
reached the ultimate in gore.
Nova was a worse mess when
Referee Blake lifted Galento's
hand, than Tony was that night
last June when Champion Louis
knocked him out in the fourth
round. 1t was all Tony's battle
from the opening gong. He forced
the fighting throughout and landed
the most damaging blows, winning
every round except the 10th on the
United Press score sheet
Blake said: II stopped the fight
because 1 was afraid that those
cuts on Nova's right eye might
blind him permanently. Blake was
brought here from Los Angeles be-
cause Nova's manager, Ray Carlen,
had insisted upon a neutral referee.
He did a swell job of officiating.
