Betty Lane in Unique Show
At the Whyte Gallery

Betty Lanes exhibition of oil
paintings and gouaches at the
Whyte Gallery is, without question,
unique. The subjects that she
chooses, the way she treats them,
the titles she gives them, are all
completely out of the ordinary. She
is neither post-impressionist nor
surrealist; she does not employ
objects as symbols; at times, she is
quite realistic; she does not distort,
but neither does she relate what
she sees to that with which she COM
bines it. Her units of design are not
employed with apparent decorative
purposes, but her expression is crisp

Rib Broken, De Chard
Must Quit Fighting
Month al Least
x-Roy Reveals Injury
D. c. Heavy Received
Before Turner Bout

Jimmy De Chard's professional
ring career has received another
setback, it was disclosed today when
his manager, Frankie Mann, ad-
mitted the young heavyweight would
be on the shelf at least a month with
a cracked rib.
X-rays made after his eight round
victory over Jay D. Turner revealed
the injury after another photo had
indicated a broken bone in his right
hand was the root of his trouble.
DR.. William F. Greaney said jim
mys 18th rib on the left side was
fractured and that he would have to
rest completely from his ring chores
for at least a month. Greaney said
the youngster wouldn't even be able
to exercise in the gym during that
time. but would have to rest as
much as possible.
De Chard's injury precludes any
chance Of his appearing on the next
card to be presented at Uline Arena
by Matchmaker Johnny Attell. The
latter offered him a bout with Gus
Dorazio of Philadelphia early next
month. but Mann rejected the pro-
posal on the grounds that the Italian
was too experienced for his boy, who
has had only five professional bouts
and merely 18 bouts, pro and anna
teur. in his career.
De Chard was injured during a
sparring session with Earl Lowman,
colored training partner. He COM
planned about pains in his side be-
fore the Turner fight, but Trainer
Bobby Groves told newspapermen
he had torn ligaments in the side
and minimized the damage.
