BY HENRY MCLEMORE-

LOS ANGELES. Feb "a. up
Someone whose taste in literature
is bad. or whose library is worse,
state boxing rules the other day and
came across this informative and
superbly written paragraph:
Each contestant shall wear, dur
ing such contest. gloves weighing
no less than ounces if such con-
te5tant weighs, in ring attire, las
pounds or less; ounce gloves if con-
testant weighs more than las
pounds
One can just picture this litera-
teur seated IN his old Morris chair
before an open fire, his Meerschaum
drawing well, his right hand pat
ting his favorite dog and his left
turning the pages of this loved,
-thumbed volume.
When he was able to forget the
sheer poetry of the paragraph, and
its full meaning became clear to
him. he handed his pipe to the dog
10 hold and made for the telephone
to call Eddie Mead, manager of
Henry Armstrong.
Mead was delighted and since
then has presented this man of let
trrs with "A combination pipe and
dog rack to hold both pipe and dog
in any future emergencies such as
this. The cause of Mead's delight
the information about
the five ounce gloves is obvious.
Armstrong fights Ceferino Garcia
for the middlcwcight championship
here next Friday and a5 Henry can't
possibly weigh in at more than l40
he will be able to use the lighter
gloves.
Garcia. who will scale consider
ably more than l45 will be forced
10 use the heavier gloves.
To the average reader fand II
YOU are one Of my readers you
aren't even that one ounce OF pad
ding in a prize fight glove probably
seems too trivial TO even bother

first time III Imperial Valleys sun
shine in q full length workout Sat
urday forenoon.
There was the usual limbering up
exercises. a batting practice and
fielding routine as handful OF in
fielderS joined the pitchers and
catcherS in workouts Saturday.
There was still no word from the
Padres five holdouts. George Det-
ore Ed Stewart, Hal Patchett. Joe
Berkowitz and Mickey HaSlln.
Manager Cedric burst was op-
timistic in discussing the Padres
pennant chances Saturday as pitch
ers rounded into shape despite the
inactivity during the week. burst
is counting on improved perfor-
mances from Dick Newsome and
Howard Craghead. share of VIC
tories from Bill Shores and gen.
eral improvement in the remainder
of staff members.
Observers around the loop be-
lieyed Newsome will develop as one
of the leagues finest pitchers. He
was off on the wrong foot at the
start of last season and then lost
more hard luck decisions than any
other pitcher in the league in the
last two months of play.

Today's Sports Parade

about. If you think this you never
have been in the ring Neither have
I, as a matter of fact, but some
of my best friends have caulifloWer-
ed ears and they tell me that one
ounce makes one heck of a differ
ence Which explains why Garcia's
board of control is raising such a
fuss about Armstrong; lighter
gloves and even threatening to call
off the fight if he is allowed to
use them.
Light gloves are a help to any
fighter There is less padding over
the knuckles and any blow landed
is going to be more effective. In
Armstrotng's case light gloves are
doubly helpful. In the first place,
Henry depends on the effect of
hundreds of punches to wear down
his opponent. This is very tiring on
him, this windmill of a pace that
calls for him to start swinging with
the bell and not stop until the
rounds end. Having to carry one
less ounce in each fist will be def
initely to his advantage. If Arm
strong were just throwing one
punch the ounce of weight wouldn't
make SO much difference. But over
ten rounds-hundreds of punches
the ounce adds up into something
really important.
The same trouble came up in 1888
when Jimmy McLarnin fought
Young Corbett III for the Welter-
weight title. Weighing under 145,
McLarnin insisted on wearing
ounce gloves. Corbett'S handlers
pointed out that the fight was for
a 147-pound title and that the big
ger gloves should be used. The
boys finally compromised and went
at it with 5i2 ounce gloves.
The commission may be called on
to settle the question this time. Be
cause as little as an ounce sounds
TO most of us who lie about the
pounds we are overweight, it can
be an important factor in fight.

Tennis in I. J..


A group OF the lads from down
Calexico way dropped into the office
this week TO register a protest. 1t
seems. according to George Carroll,
George Saunders and Ed Simmons.
that an insufficient amount OF space
has been devoted to tennis.
There were other protests too,
though mllder ones. but when ques-
toned II was discovered that the
lads principal worry was that their
scrap books were not filling up
rapidly enough
Calexico high school has been
the dominant power in tennis for
several seasons now and present de-
Velopment of talent in the border
city would indicate CaleXlco will
continue TO be leader in Imperial
Valley net circles.
CaleXlco's rise TO prominence in
tennis dates back to the tennis
coaching days of Ed Hanna. When
the left hanQed doubles maestro
started grooming grammar school
youngsters for future net victories.
From among those boys came the
Bowker brothers, Jack Candland.
the Caughlin brothers. Tom BrentS.
Manuel Servine. Robert Gregg and
now the present team Of racket
sWingers.
Hanna's efforts seemed doomed
to eventual failure last year. how
ever, when interest declined to some
extent in CaleXico. but the school
officials hired Lyn Johnson as ten
mis- instructor this year and the
program is back in full swing.
Only school, in the valley which
will be able to challenge Calexico
is El Centro. where Bill Maxwell
is pushing a campaign TO make the
Spartans tennis conscious.
Maxwell has improved the E
Centro high school tennis team in
the past two years but his strongest
teams are on the way. Tennis has
been included il. the grammar school
programs. thanks to Maxweus ef-
