showing him and Louis, both in
street clothes. sparring.

But you don't weigh enough;
you don't hit hard enough to fight
a heavyweight champion" I said.

Billy said What do you think
I'll weigh this time next year? Don't
you think I'm going TO grow bit?
This time next June I'll come in
at 1876, and that's enough weight
for anybody. 1t was enough for

But it also means the beginning
of a tough life" for the valley foot
ball referee, the sports most under
rated individual.
The football official is the re-
cipient of more abuse than any
man in sports with the possible
exception of baseball and fight off,
cials. His decisions are booed Justify
by all concerned and he is taken
to task for a thousand explanations
after each game.
Valley officials have declared that
part of their trouble comes from
the fact that fans are Iot suffi-
GENTLY familiar with the rules:
So. in order to aid the officials,
enlighten the fans, and incidentally
fill this column, we offer you the
following rules for penalties:

Trapped in Debris,
Sings Hours AWAY

LONDON, Sept. 10. CUP)-Early
today rescue workers started to dig
in the tangled ruins of a four-story
building
In quiet interval between the
thud of bombs and the crash of
anti-aircraft guns they heard a
girlish treble. 1t was coming from
the jumbled wreckage and the song
the girl was singing was Pack
UP Your Troubles in Your Old
Kit Bag"
The rescue crew dug frantically
by the light of electric torches.
Shrapnel and bombs fell all around.
Nine hours later the workers pulled
12-year-old Rose Cole from the
wreckage. She was still singing.
Physicians administered oxygen
to the girl and rushed her to the
hospital with her father and mo-
ther and two friends who were
buried with her. The father died.
but Rose is expected to live.
"All the time German planes
were circling over" one worker said.
Bombs were dropping all the time.
The little girl was marvellous. She
probably did as much to save her
mother and friends as the doctor
did"
