TODAY'S SPORT
 PARADE
Rr HENRY MCLEMoRE

United Press stan COrreSpOn0onV
 Philadelphia, Sept. N- (UP)- Those of us who came down here to investigate the report that there was another Henry Armstrong loose on the boxing world in the person ot Bob Montgomery were convinced to- day that the report was started by Bob,s relatives or persons who never have seen Hammerin' Hank in &C., ton.
 Montgomery was good light weight in losing 10-round decision to Lightweight Champion Lew Jen- kins, but no great one. Because a great fighter, or even near great one would have had the Texan bull dogged and branded well within the 10-round limit.
 Jenkins, who apparently looks on training as something unworthy of champion, ana fit only fo rprelim- mary boys, gave another classic ex- hibition of what the Danes so prettily describe as running out of gas." He looked like titleholder for six minutes only. During the first two rounds, before he became winded and arm an dleg weary, he punched Montgomery daffy and would have won inside of five rounds had he been able to continue at this pace. But in the third round he began to droop like day before yesterdays petuniaS, and he wasn't helped any by one of Montgomery's stylish round house rights that dropped him for a count of nine. As matter of fact the only thing that saved Jenkins from losing the overweight bout (Jenkins 135, Montgomery 13D was his courage. The Texan didn't lack heart as he did in the flasco with Armstrong in New York not so long ago. He kept swinging until the enc despite bad cuts over and under his left eye.
 From the third round on, Jenkins punch was gone. Not once but 1( times he connected with his Sunday right hand punch, but it didn't dt any great damage. The only punche. he hurt Montgomery with were rights to the heart, and Jenkins car thank thel ast one to that region 1t came in the middle of the fina I round-for his victory. It slowed ur Montgomery enough to enable Lew to win the round, and he needed il to get the decision.
 As for Montgomery's resemblance to Armstrong, it lies chiefly in color Tn Philadelphian tries hard enough to look like Armstrong, goodnes! knows, but his efforts hinder him a! fighter rather than help him. Benny Leonard was one of Jenkins handlers last night, and it would b. interesting to know what the one time king of the 135-pounders reall, thinks of the man who now hold the title. The chances are tha Benny could give up cigars for
 fortnight and do a pretty good jol
 on Lew.

Ruth's $ Al-America
 Baseball Contest Starts Arguments

Worlds Fair, N. Y.,. Sept. IT, Would you swap Cobb, Sisler and Hornsby Gall 400 hitters in 1922l for any three major league players to- day?
 The Worlds Fair sports program coasting peacefully toward the close of a second successful season has suddenly stumbled into just such hornets nests as the above inter- rogation-with the announcement that George Herman Ruth and his committee of major league baseball writers will select the All-Amertca baseball team for 1940.
 The great moment has been set for Saturday morning, September 28- that being the day when the mellow ing Babe will tell his All-America secret to millions of baseball fans via the newspapers and the NEG Red network. Also o1 that occasion the former home run demon will con- duct the final baseball class for boys at the fair, ably and laughingly as- sisted by Professorc Al Schacht.
 Fans Write
 Meanwhile letters, lneups and ar- guments regarding the merits ot American and National league stars for the 194O season, continue to reach the Academy of Sport at the fair From Washington, Indianapolis and other cities where newspapers are conducting the contest, local fans are waging hot debates over the rel ative value of such household names as Medwick, Appling, Powell, DiMag- gio, Radclif and Dixie Walker. The All-America lineup, as named by Babe Ruth and the major league newspaper writers, calls for ter players from any of the 16 major league clubs-but the trick is to ar- range the players in batting order the same as MT. Ruth'S. Incident ally those who succeed in perform ing this little trick of skill and base ball judgment, will receive person ally inscribed photograph of one time pitching star, in the uniform oi the Red Sox, whose name was anc still iS-Babe Ruth.
 More than 5000 letters have beer received from fans in scattered citiei during the past week and the pitch ing jobs seem to be the main topic for all-out argument, with only twt berths available TOT the following group of candidates: Fitzsimmons Sewell, Rowe, Derringer, Walters an( Teller.
 Comparison
 But of all the bombasUic letters re ceived to date. John Mcguire, of St Louis, Mo-, touches new high il all-star controversy. The following sentence and challenge from his let ter speaks for itself: "Take look a Babe Ruth's All-America lineup Q IS years ago and compare the name and averages to the modest marks 1889 and tell me what you thinkl Here are the two s:neups, both SC lected by Babe Ruth.

MOTORCYCLE THRILL
 SHOW SLATED SUNDAY

Motorcycle climbing at its best will be offered by the Meriden Motorcycle Club when 1t presents its closing thrill show" of the 1940 sea- son on the famous North Guilford grade on Sunday, September 9. The national champion in every one of the four classes of competition lined up, plus several ex-titleholders and close runners-up will be in the field battling for the prize money in the hazardous sport.
 This daredevil phase of motorcy- cling, calling for plenty of nerve and riding skill, never fails to thrill spectators to whom it is now novelty or to provide big "kick" for those seeing it for the first time.

Fire Precautions

This is NaGonal Fire Prevention
Week Throughout the country, and
is being So observed in Henderson.
Firemen are taking the lead in the
undertaking here. which, though
very informed and without set
program, is sufficient to be of ines
Unable value if taken seriously by
citizens generally.
A great deal OF the vast amount Of
property lost and the numerous lives
taken annually by fire is due to
careleSSneSS. At best there will be
all too many tires, with attendant
damage and dissipation OF resources,
and there Is no excuse for such
losses when que 10 iueXcuSable iaX-
ness Of common safeguards.
Insurance guarantees, unfortu-
nately, seldom offer full protection
against fire. Whether they do or
not. it is merely the transfer of
money from one pocket to another
and is an economic loss any way it
is figured. y large part of damag"
caused by the lire demon each year
could be prevented if people gen.
orally were OF Il mind to do it.
Removal OF inflammable waste
materials from premises and Of haz-
ards where they exist would go 4
long way in providing Il remedy. In
the interest Of conservation Of hut
man life ami property it would seem
that every one would be willing
TO cooperate. But many do not,
and that is why Fire Prevention
Week is ncceS5 AIRY and why it is
helpful in calling attention Of citi-
ZenS to the menace.
Henderson lIremen are deserving
Of al the help they will receive
and more-in their effort this week
TO educate the public in the matter
OF exercising all possible safe
guards. The least we can do IS IL
go along with them. for il is vastly
more ~ Uur interest than to theirs

"IT SHALL NOT HAPPEN HERE"
(ChriStian Science Monitor

(ChrlStlan science MOnltOr)
National Newspaper Week, 1910,
may we'll be a period for gratitude
among Americans-readers and pub
fishers alike--that their press still
belongs to the Nation. Yet while they
congratulate each other, they will
also keep alert TO those dangers that
foreWalned of the mental black-out
now darkening the European Con-
tinent.
The manacleS that tyranny would
impose on free speech are not always
Visible. They are not always describ-
ed in the catalogues Of dictators'
devices. Thomas Mann, in an inter-
view in Editor and Publisher points
out that fear may strike at freedom
of the press long before any actual
government control is exercised.
The fall of the House of Ullstem
in Germany illustrates this. Long
before the Nazis were in position
to dictate policies to this great pub
fishing house or to other influential
newspaper publishers, fear operated
to prevent coalition of them
against the political terrorism with
which the Hitherto machine was in
trenching itself. The publishers. who
could not b. sure that many of their
subscribers were not already Nazi,
did not dare TO embark on an edi-
torial campaign of exposure and
denumciatiOn because Of possible re-
prisal. The leader Of the Ullstem
firm attempted, through conference,
to rally these publishers, but failed
when a piece of terrorists news was
brought to the meeting. Fear man.
acled hands that We're still free to
strike for liberty. Now those hands
are manacled TO Il government-con-
troled propaganda machine.
Americans do not yet know this
fear. Whether they are readers or
publishers, their duty to themselves
and to each other is to prevent fear
from taking hold of their thinking,
to remain alert to the necessity of
free discussion That is why they are
more and more frequently saying,
not 1T can't happen here" but 1T
shall not"

The New Teacherage

Completion of the new teacher
age on Church street for members
of the faculty of the city schools
adds another attractive residence to
the many Henderson already can
boast. and for the first time provides
adequate and comfortable quarters
for the teachers.
Erected at a cost Of some S32,OOO,
this home for the women who in
<truct the youth Of the community
increases the equipment OF the city
school system, and makes it even
more modern than it has hitherto
been. Divided as ii was among sew
eral different agencies, the cost was
not an undue burden anywhere,
and provides property that will be
enduring and that will meet local
needs for some time to come.
School authorities have done a
good job in acquiring this necessity
and convenience for the teachers,
and they have already expressed APP
probation for this thoughtfulness OF
their comfort and welfare.
