VERILA DROPS N. E. MIDDLE
WEIGHT CROWN TO HARD
PUNCHING "CHIMMY"
BY "CHICKIE" TUGGLES


The 3,463 fight fans that attended
the Goodwin A.C. show in Boston Gar
den Thursday night, had no regrets
after witnessing one of the best bouts
fought in Hub rings in many a moon.
Henry Chmielewski, Boston Polish
slugger, relieved Babe Verila, Colored
New Bedford title-holder, of the New
England middleweight crown in a
gruelling 12-round bout.
Verila, who entered the affray boast
ing of record of II consecutive
kayoes, took the lead, "copping" the
first two stanzas by virtue of a spear
ing left jab that kept the hard-punch-
ing Polish batter off balance, prevent
ing him from getting over his "honey-
bunch" a looping right hand that
travels at an alarming and destruc-
tive pace, having tilted over every foe
it struck in the last % starts. Verila
exhibited a fancy brand of boxing in
the early rounds, bobing and weaving,
slipping inside of "Chimmy's" rights
and scoring with hard lefts and rights
to the body, painting the latter's BODY
a crimson red. Going into a thrilling
eight, "Chimmy" caught Babe with
crashing right-hand punch to the chin,
sent him staggering into the neutral
corner and down for a nine-count.
When the sepia battler arose to con-
tlnue the battle he was in a bad con-
dition, and was clipped by the pile
driving "Chimmy" with another right
hand to the chin, for another nine
count. "Chimmy" moved in for the
Kill, but was met with a straight right
to the chin, thrown by the groggy
gladiator, that set him back on his
heels. "Chimmy" bored in weathering
a barrage of rights and lefts, and
hurled another savage right that sent
the Babe down for the third time, for
the toll of nine. To the amazement
of "Chimmy" and the fans, the game
Verila regained his posture Just as the
bell sounded for the end of the eighth.
The ninth was busy session with
Verila recovering sufficiently to actu-
ally stagger the Polish lad, with whiz-
zing rights to the jaw, but the Colored
warrior seemed to weak to take ad-
vantage of openings that were con-
spicuous. "Chimmy" roared out of
his corner for kayo in the tenth, but
found his clever and experienced foe
armed with a fast-stabbing left jab,
that staved-off his kayo bid. The 18th
and 18th saw "Chimmy" still trying
desperately to put over a kayo, but
the weary Verila had recuperated
sufficiently to evade "Chimmy's" fierce
attacks. The decision was unanimous
for Chmielewski Both battlers re-
ceived a stirring ovation when they
left the ring.

Ball games in prehistoric southeast 49,.
At Wupatki and Casa Grande
National Monuments, Arizona, as we'll
as at other prehistoric ruins of the
Southwest, occur large oval enclosures
surrounded by wide, sloping walls.
They contain regular features which
are reminiscent of the large stone ball
courts of the ancient Mayas of south
ern Mexico and Guatemala.
These ball courts in Arizona are an
additional indication of contact be-
tween the prehistoric Indians of the
Southwest and the higher civilizations
further south. Among the Mayas the
game played in these courts was like
the Basque game of jai alai. A medi-
um sized rubber ball was used. One
such rubber ball has been found in a
prehistoric ruin in southern Arizona.
Strangely enough, the many excava-
tions carried on in Mayan ruins have
not as yet yielded an actual ball.

National Committee. It reduced specific terms to generalties It selected those statements in which Democrats. Republicans, conservatives and liberals are in agreement and produced the familiar Repub- lican baloney.
 For instance
 The Frank report calls specifically for return of work relief administration to the States. The National Committee official" abstract omits this. The Frank report specifically asks for divorce of the administrative and judicial functions of the Ma tional Labor Relations Board The National Com mttee abstract merely proposes amendments" The Frank report calls for return to the gold standard The National Committee wants merely sound cur rency" The Frank report calls for return of farm erosion control to the States. The National Com mttee report omits this
 And so it goes.
 The COP is already welshing, officially, on a program that Frank and his associates developed after two years of study and consultation with COP. rank and fers throughout the country
 Our criticism isn't that the National Committee is more liberal less liberal than the Frank Com mittee The point is that the National Committee is still duckng real issues, still trying to get by with no program at all We believe the Frank report represented an honest and intelligent effort to arrive at a basis for Republican program We would like to see national campaign fought out between a New Deal platform and one based the Frank report. But we're afraid we will be disappointed. Even the Frank report is too definite for party that wants to fool all the people all the time.
 No matter what the Republicans promise, the question Of whether they will keep their promise must come up And how the voters trust party whose National Committee begins campaign by watering down and distorting the report of its own Committee? It must be little discouragng to spend two years writing detailed report for party that promptly notice it will reduce that report to windy generalities.

BACK WITH THE REPUBLICANS

Nostalgia is the keynote Of the 28,000-word re- port of Glen Franks Committee on the basis for a Republican program, copies of which have been received here The Committee wants to go home " to go back to things as they before the New Deal
 The idea of return" occurs again and again The Committee wants to go back to the gold stan dard (what that would mean to the Alaska mining industry is ruinaton) it wants to return relief to the States; it wants to return to attempts to bal the budget as end in itself.
 However, it should be pointed out that the Com mittee does not express opposition to those New Deal measures which have become so firmly em- bedded in the hearts of the people that there is no chance of dslodgng them.
 The necessity for relief is admitted Social security is to be expanded" The Federal farm pro- gram is to continue until it becomes, by some mys- tcal process, unnecessary" The Wagner Labor Act is not to be fepeaed merely amended.
 On the whole the report is the most specific nter-program that has come from Republican source in seven years of bitter criticism of the New Deal Indeed it is far more specific and construc- tive than the actual measures taken by the last Republican Administration
 If this report were the official position of the Republican party would say that it had made a step however short, toward facing the real issues before the nation
 Unfortunately, this report is not the official position of the party.
 The semi-official COP organ the New York Herald Tribune gets out from under immediately with this sentence in editorial:
 of committee or document of the kind could pretend to an infalble reflection of Re- publican doctrine respecting all the many issues discussed and the solutions proposed
 Even striking is the manner in which the Republican National Committee ducked responsibility for the Frank report Newspapers taking both United Press and Associated Press abstracts of the report had two very different documents before them. The AP. made its abstract taking the definite, con- crete proposals in the Frank report The UP car red an official" abstract made by the Republican

TUESDAY. MARCH 5


 While this is an unimportant day in planetary direction it is fortunate for merchandising. The evening has sinister aspect that seems to presage an unusual num- Der of accidents. There is a sign suspicious for public banquets or important speeches. }YIs Heart and Home: Routine &C., tivities will be lucky for families today Changes of any sort are sub feet to sinister portents. Although later the spring days will encour- age intense love affairs and speedy coGrtships, this is not an auspici- ols date for romance Girls should attend strictly to study or work of some sort.
 Business Affairs: There is a promising sign for merchants and manufacturers. An expose connect ed with contraband shipments from the United States will cause an unpleasant international incident. Commercial rackets of many sorts will be uncovered and a new rec ognition of honesty as the best policy will be fortunate for the nation.
 National Issues: In several states new leaders will seek power by offering novel palms for indigency. Demagogues will gain followings in the West. Texas will contribute more than one sensation in the rational election, for a high official of the state will wield unexpected power. The planetary aspects which encourage revolt against existing conditions will affect members of political parties.
 International Affairs: The 1940s have been long foreseen with fore boding In August, 1942, Saturn will be in square to Mars in Virgo, a figure which existed at the out break of the Civil War. Again Uranus in Gemini enters adversely into the configuration. In August 1942 Uranus will be in conjunction with Saturn and square to Mars. The year 1942 marks the comple- tion of the 84-year cycle of Uran- us which returns to Gemini. The seers discern grave possibilities in these sinister portents.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair luck, but a tendency to extrava- gance should be checked Unex- pected gain may be received by many.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be individual and mag netic, artistic and industrious. Those born in this decan like lux urious surroundings and costly at tire.
