the Cross and many others who showed
promise of ring greatness. But after
all is said, perhaps the real story OF
the amateurs was told In the Nationals
when for the first time the eolored be
ginner" in the south was given a chance
to show his ability. Never before had
such an opportunity been rendered.
During the season, and particularly
in the Nationals, your favorite and
mine triumphed. Since equality to all
was the moving spirit behind the scene,
in the planning room and in the ring.
For the first time in history, the word
NATIONAL meant just that. As John
Bell. the trainer of the southern team
had to say, "some day they'll come
from the small towns, back off the beat
en- paths, proud in their knowledge
that they have an equal chance with the
rest of the country. 1t was something
more than Just boxing tournament"
Yes-it was more than Just tourna-
ment for now the door has been opened
to a large proportion of our population
and the future should see some real
talent uncovered.

fellow is whaling the bigger one for
all he is worth. The round ends and
all you can hear from those around
you is-"my, my, where does he get
all that power from?"
The greatest Armstrong story,
however, is yet in the future. He's
the only ring warrior to hold three
crowns simultaneously; he's one of
the few fighters to show any out
standing intellectual qualities. His
poetry is commendable and gives
promise of a future as writer but
the greatest story of them all will
come after Henry makes public his
final decision to become a minister.
Right now Armstrong is ready to
answer the lure of the pulpit, whether
he will or not and just what kind of
minister he will make is a matter of
conjecture.

Louis Keeps Rolling

Boxing has keynoted the season
thus far. Chief among the interests
in this sport has been the one and only
Joe Louis. First it was Godoy then
Paycheck who felt the onslaught OF
this busiest champion the game has
ever known. Against Godoy. As you
recall, the champ was forced to go the
limit which brought no end to specu-
lation that Louis was through-that
he was in the twilight of his career.
There were countless articles appear
ing in the dailies all advising the fistic
great to retire while he had the esteem
and well wishes of fight followers.
Then Joe came Bombing" back to
beat Paycheck so decisively that it
left many wondering just what type of
super-fighter he really is.
In the March 30th issue of the
GUARDIAN the following appeared:
tits amusing to hear the so-ealled
experts trying to call Louis number.
They figure that the seemingly i'm
possible can and viii happen any
time now, especially after the
champs distainful showing against
Godoy. But somehow or other,
although | do not make any over
lures at being an expert, it appears
as though Louis will rule the heavy
weights for some years to come yet.
Of course, we all realize that the
steady march of time will some day
catch up with our idol and that some
young hopeful viii undoubtedly
smack him from under his crown,
but that day does seem q good dis
lance off in view of the facts that
Louis is a good clean living man and
keeps actively engaged defending his
laurels. And those are real assets of
q true champion. AS long as there
is no greater threat to his diadem
than has already been shown, Louis

Armstrong Greatest
Little Fighter

Perhaps more words should be said
about the Little Champ" for he is a
fighters fighter" However, since
the Hub had two opportunities to see
Armstrong as he fought in local
rings, it may not be necessary.
There was one impression l got as
saw him fight Zanelli-an impress
sion that has remained Just as vivid
through these several months. Arm
strong has power plus packed on that
slight frame of his-such power that
is seldom seen in the ring these days.
As you look at him your first reaction
is due to his slightness of stature.
You probably can't for the life OF you
understand how such a small fellow
can possibly be such q whirlwind in
action. As he starts-your reaction
is almost confirmed for usually his
opponent tries to get the jump on him
by q slam bang two-isted attack.
But scarcely before you settle back
into your seat feeling sure that you
are about TO see q real battle-some-

Thinking of Track

The column would like to pay tribute
TO the many athletes who have thrilled
us during the past indoor season and
the present outdoor season.
DUGGER COMES INTO HIS OWN
At the turn of the new year most the
track talk concerned that great miller
Glenn Cunningham. That he was de-
serving of the spotlight as he made his
dramatic exit is attested by his long
and colorful career. On many oeea-
sions some of the countries best run
ners received little or no attention be
cause of the name of Cunningham be
ing on the same program. Yet, all the
while, there was a success story being
written in the annals of track by not
altogether forgotten traekster, but
surely one who was forsaken because of
the big national names. His name Is
Ed Digger.
Eddie appeared in most of the IN
door meets but wasn't as consistently
winner as he has been since turning
TO the einders. He won, to be sure, but
he also lost some real thrillers which
made writers feel as though he was
about a year away from the real head
lines. Digger, however, came into his
own during the spring and since then
he has been the peer Of the countries
hurdlers. Winning everything In sight
here IN New England. Digger made his
onslaught on national fame as he de-
feated the National hurdle champion at
Minneapolis few weeks ago. It was
q real remarkable fete and marked the
beginning of greater triumphs for the
Tufts star.
OTHER NOTABLE STARS
There were other such notable
achievements but most of them were
made bv established stars. Herbertsi
running was outstanding and very eoln-
mendable in view Of the bad year he
had the previous season. Boriean and
/ Woodruff gave brilliant exhibitions OF
middle-distanee running both climax
/ ing their eolorful indoor seasons BY
establishing records for their respective
specialties at the Dartmouth invita-
/ tional. Barney" Ewen Of Penn STATE

ANTARES LOSES DISTINCTION

The largest star, we are advised, is not
Antares, as formerly believed. but Ras AL
gethi, in the constellation of Hercules.
This revelation comes from the AS
Economical Society of the Pacific, which
recently heard George Herbig college
sOphmOre, explain calculations proving that
Ras Algelthi is SO large that, if it were hol-
low, there would be room inside for the sun
and the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and
Mars all revolving in their present orbits.
The new giant is 800 times larger than
the sun, measuring 690,000,000 miles in
diameter.
Poor Antares, erstwhie largest star, is
not even second, according to this new cal
culation which puts it in fourth position,
measuring only pitiful 245,000,000 in
diameter. Second place goes to Mira, s.
895. 900, 900 miles across and third place is
gained by Betelgeuse, with varying di-
ameter between 26O,OOO,OOO miles.
1t is pointed out that previous esti
mates of star sizes were based upon OBJ
servations made twenty years ago. Ac-
curacv of distance measurements have been
vastly improved.
While we present this information for
the benefit of readers who desire to be up
to-the-minute on their astronomy we do not
guarantee the figures.

A DRAMATIC CRITICISM

Florenz Ziegfeld, George White and
Earl Carroll made fortunes by "Glorifying
The American Girl" Mr. Carroll was so
sincere in his art that during the Prohibi-
ton era Uncle Sam invited him to become
his star bOarder for g year and day in the
Federal penitentiary at Atlanta. Reason:
Mr.. Carroll presented, amid the fanfare of
trurpets, a completely nude young lady
taking bath in champagne on the. stage of
the Earl Carroll Theater in New York.
-. Maybe that was indeed, art but it
unfortunately cOnflicted with the Federal
Morals Act.
Here in Key West there are several
amateur and definitely less artistic gentle
men whose stage presentations would be
picnic for anyone representing Federal law
enforcement.
Two so-called might clubs have al
ready come to the attention of The Citizen
whose arrangements present girls from Is
to 18 years old in the nude.
The show at one of these dives can
plainly be seen by anyone from out on the
street Yes, sir-for no cover charge,
without even buying beer, you may see
everything that is to be seen, which is
plenty
Strip teasers, kootch dancers, swivel
hipped lassies who make the rhumba look
like epilepsy, and dozen other variations
are to be witnessed gratis-frOm the side
walk.
That's fine, if you want to look at it
that way 1t is amazing what theatrical
enterprise we harbor here in the Island City.
But, look, gentlemen-why not invest
a few dollars in swinging door or a set of
Venetian blinds? You would be accom-
plshing three things: You would make
money because the throngs that stand on
the outside would be obliged to enter your
portals ard buy something. 2-You would
automatically eliminate sidewalk clogging.
3-You would make a much much better
impression on Key West visitors.
The way it is now you just MIGHT Of
fend somebody.

A CORRIDOR TO ALASKA

The United States and Alaska are
separated by the territory of the Dominion
of Canada and while our northern neighbor
is about as good friend, apparently, as a
ration could possess, there has been discus
sion about the possibility of securing cor
ridor to connect the United States and
Alaska.
Anthony j. Dimond. delegate in Con-
gresS from Alaska, estimates that a good
road to close the gap between HaZeltOn,
Canada, and the existing Alaskan highway
system, could be built for S25,000,000
The through highway has been ad-
vocated, in the past, as means of freeing
military OutpOstS in Alaska from depend
ence upon long sea route. Naturally,
with the Army and Navy enlarging their
bases in Alaska this is more important.
Whether Canada would approve the
granting of such a corridor to the United
States is another question but the highway
could be constructed, perhaps. under con-
ditions that would meet the approval of
Canada and the United States if there were
no cesSion of Canadian sovereignty.
