BrookLns Lose Chance To Catch Leaders

c chance that Davis will left h65& his way Co victory, ln which cess there may Do c riot,
 Davis h c tough lid from the Brownsville section Of Brooklyn where anybody who can't open ( can of tomatoes with his teeth Co cosis sldered c softly. Nc has on Erie von gtroheiln Bwagger end c Boris xAF- loff sheer, which have helped him achieve ths unpopulaFity champlor@ ship. Ho already had two legs on that chAEAplcnBhp whom he went in the ring to fight Zlvlc last November, but that night he won permanent possession.
 ife fouled Zlvic So often and 70 througi1iy that h0 wAS thrown out Of the ring by the referee and barred for life by tho New York boxing commission. The commission relsnts cd and allowed Davis Co come back because c share Of the proceeds will 90 to the Army Relief Fund.
 Got The Thumb
 Davb claims ho threw low punches because zlvic was sticking tliunibB Into hia eyes--A mode Of combat that is frowned upon ia Marquis of Queensberry circles. Far be it from me to deny that Zivic adopted Brit. aims slogan of "thumbs up" that night, for he Is . fairly tough GUS. toner, too, and easily Tiled. But ttie boxing fans decided that Davis was tho william of the piece and waited patiently for their chance to unload record cargo of raspborries on him.
 That chance came the night of the Louis Conn fight. Davis joined the army after the commission barred him and when he entered the ring to be introduced the other evening he was swathed in olive drab. He ape peared in the role of patriot, aTiS he greeted the customers with c snappy salute. So did they relent and cheer him? They did not. They booed him so loudly that he beat . retreat to his ringsido seat.
 The customers arc well rested from that demonstration and will be in flne voice tomorrow night. If your windows start rattiing around 10 O.. clock eastern daylight time, think nothing of 1t. it will Do Davis get' ting the business.

Switzerlond Retoins
 Absolute Neutrality

MIDST difficult position in Eu. -'~ rope today is that maintained by Switzerland-a position of traditional neutrality.
 Although Switzerland has gained a reputation for avoiding any part in Europe's wars, not all of her years have been peaceful. The semi-postal above. in fact, issued hast year to commemorate the Ma. tional Fete Day. shows a statue lsignifying the Battle of Calven, fought in 1899.
 This same year marked the virtual end of Switzerland's dom. lination by the Holy Roman Em- lpire. although formal severance and completely independen n { status weren't attained until the Treaty of Westphalia was signed in the 17th century.
 Largely responsible for Switz- erisnd's ability to keep out oi World War I and so far out oi World War II is the mountainous terrain that makes conquest difii- cult. Passage through Switzerland is dependent largely on tunnels, and most of the vital tunnels have been mined and are ready to be destroyed when the occasion war; rants.
 Thus Tar, Switzerland has done nothing Co violate her absolute neutrality im connection with the present eunflet. '.

POLES

Clark Gable ana Rosalind Rus. sell combine their co.Starring tai. ents with highly diverting results in "They Met in Bombay" whl:h opened Saturday at the Loew Poii theatre. Immediately suggesting ac- ton, plus romance and fun, the pairing accounts for all three h copious measure.
 Gable and Miss Russell are linked as c pair Of confidence operators who meet in Bombay, colorfui cross- roads of the Far East, with separ- ate designs on fortune in dia- ifonds. Gable iS Q soldier of fore tune turned opportunist. Miss Rus- sell is chic adventures moving in smart circles. They clash at the beginning, and again when loot comes between them, but they are forced to flee together before .he police. On c rusty freighter plying the China seas their carefully hid- den sentimentality breaks through Tossed into the inaeistrom of or. iental war, they reach c turning point In their heretofore ruthless lives.
 Gable rises to unusual heights in dramatizing an unusual he man role. Miss Russell is equally arrest- ing, delivering . new peak perform. ance in a series of stand.out roles which have made her one Of the most distinguished figures in Hoi- lywood. The production is rich in craftsmanship which captures the exotic color Of the Orient.
 - Lending capable acting support are Peter Lorre, Jessie Ralph, Ed- ward Ciannelli, Matthew Boulton, Luis Alberni. Rosina Cali, Jay No- vello and Reginald Owen.
 Be sure not to miss ''They Met h Bombay" for it's an unusual and wholly entertaining film.
