MiddIeweight Champ
Wins Easier Than
In First Bottle
BY GAYLE TALBOT.
Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Young
Stevie Belloise has had his second
45-minute boxing lesson from Mid
dleWeight Champ Ken Overlin, and
the boy from the Bronx is not learn
ing the fine points quite as readily
as admirers had hoped.
In fact Overlin bounced him
around in the Garden last night
good deal more easily than in their
first session six weeks ago. Belloise
not only didn't knock down the
champ this time, but he managed to
hit him only in the odd rounds.
Overlin was handicapped by a cold
and had to pace himself carefully,
but even while fighting in spurts he
was able to roll up a tremendous
margin. Belloise was suffering only
from a Illustration complex that
came from throwing 438 rights at
Overlin's chin and learning too late
that Ken had moved while the
punches were en- route.
Referees Vote Surprises.
The only thing approaching ex-
citement was created in the press
section some minutes after the ac-
ton ceased when it was learned
that Referee Arthur Donovan had
voted for Belloise. 1t was decided
that Arthur must have been pre-
occupied in earnest, for both judges
gave it to Overlin-one of them con-
ceding Belloise only four rounds
and that the average of the experts
was about Az heats for the home
town boy.
1t was a little difficult to score
at that, as the going was dreadfully
dull most of the way and the crowd
OF 16,300 was booing to keep itself
amused.
Neither Severely Hurt.
Overlin simply lodged Steve's
mighty swishes and tied him up in
the clinches. Meantime, and as he
felt inspired, the champ would
wallop Steve in the face with a
swinging left-just often enough to
keep Steve respectful.
The sum of damage was very
slight. little cut at the corners of
Overlln's eye and a nick on Bel
loise's classic nose.
Because the news got around that
Overlin had the sniffles the odds in
the lobby before fight time went to
5 to Z on Belloise. Overlin cheer
fully admitted that he had been
weary toward the last and said he
to take a good rest before
fighting Tony Zale, the N. B. A. 16O-
pound king, or anybody else.

Plays Out Two Holes
Today to Finish With

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. 14.-Byron
Nelson. whose eloquent golf strokes
carried him to the National P. G. A.
championship last summer, kept his
fingers crossed today - despite
6-under-par 1874 that gave him the
36-hole lead in the $4,000 Miami

Nelson trimmed five strokes off

Clayton Heafner of Linville, N c.,

yesterday, played out the last two
holes today for a 81 and a 36-hole
total Of l35, that gave him second
place.
Willie Goggin of Miami, former
California pro. completed his round
for a SO and a 36-hole total of 140,
moving him into 18th place.

the fulfilment of the sacred
words spoken on the battlefield Of
Gettysburg:
THAT we here highly resolve
that these dead shall not have
died in vain . that this nation
under God, shall have a new birth
of freedom and that govern
ment of the people, for the peo-
Pile, and by the people, shall not
perish from the earth"
Abraham Lincoln
If Abraham Lincoln could come
back now to visit the nation he
had so nobly served, we may be
sure that of all the marvellous
changes that have come to pass
during the IS years of his absence
hone would please him more
than the complete reconciliation
of the south.
And nowhere in our mighty and
loyal Union, would Abraham Lin
coin be given a more sincere and
affectionate reception today than
in chivalrous old Virginia and her
sister southern states.
A nation that could go through
such test as that Of the Ameri-
can Civil War, and come out Of
it-chastened and stronger and
more united than ever-ought to
be capable OF meeting all future
tests, as they arise.
Five OF the presidents who were
elected following the Civil War,
were distinguished veterans Of the
war: Ulysses S. Grant; Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, of Ohio; James A.
Garfield, of Ohio; Benjamin Har-
rison, of Indiana; and William
Mckinley, of Ohio.
With the exception of General
Grant, all these had had legisla-
tive experience in congress or as
governor of a state.
We old-timers who cast our first
vote for president 60 years ago
the coming November, will not be
apt to forget that campaign and
election.
