will not attend boxing or wreSt-
ling match unless they are assured
in advance that the bout will be
worth watching.
Poor preliminary bouts in former
professional cards were also listed
as a reason for the small following
of fights in the valley. One good
preliminary in ten was an unusual
average. In some cases the pre-
liminary bout was so one-Sided that
it lasted less than round. and in
other cases neither preliminary boy
was capable OF putting up a good
fight and the brawl developed into
a waltz-tine embrace.
Matchmaking, the group admit
ed, is not an easy task. but like
other businesses. professional fight
ing will not succeed until 1t is
adequately handled.
Those are a few tips that Pete
Buzukos might do well to remember
when he starts planning for his
first show in Calexico one week
from Tuesday-that is if he's in
terested in promoting future shows.
NeUS0m Us. Feller -.
Owners of II other major league
clubs wish Alva Bradley and Walter
Briggs had kept their mouths shut.
The fabulous Bob Feller is worth
whatever the Cleveland club is Civ
ing him and then some. Old
Bo-Bo Newsom is workhorse and
a whale of a pitcher for Detroit,
but an athlete asking more can be
depended upon not Understanding
his worth.
There are other stars, including
pitchers, to be signed. and fatuous
boasts that both young Feller and
Newsom will collect more than s30,-
900 give the brighter ones some
thing to go by in the way of a
highly satisfactory scale.
Until Bradley and Briggs started
the controversy in regard to who
is the highest paid pitcher, Feller
or Newsom, the owners song and
dance to the disgruntled was to have
been that expenses had to be cur
tailed because of unsettled con-
ditions.
The magnates' problem doesn't
seem so serious when a couple of
big shots, plume themselves on their
generosity to combatants who richly
deserve it.
There is not peep about players
who get the least money which is
precisely what the other owners
would prefer that Bradley an
Briggs popped off about.

Golfers Tune for
Lettuce Tourney

Practice began in earnest over
the Del Rio country club golf course
this week as clear weather promis-
ed ideal conditions for the annual
lettuce tournament, now less than
two weeks away.
Laddie Wilioughhy runnerup five
times in the lettuce tournament,
again has been named as the early
favorite, though Tunney Williams,
Lee Lamberson, Jerry Fox. and
Loveridge Marsh must be considered
as contenders on the northend lay
out.
Fox. winner of the Calexico tour
nament, is probably the hottest
golfer in the valley at the present
time, and has many hackers who
will wager he will walk off with
the Lettuce cup come Feb. 16.

and he can help getting Burman off
the canvas. Lissen, what has Bur-
man got to win with? He's slower
than Louis, lighter than Louis, can't
box as well as Louis, and can't hit
as hard as Louis. Unless a miracle
takes place-and I'd hate to bet on
a miracle, wouldn't you-he won't be
i'll there long enough to get ac-
quainted with the champ"
The blondes all nodded in assent,

man too rounds too much. I look for

BY HENRY McLEMORE

! HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 81. tUP)-
My Hollywood fight expert was not
hard to spot.
He was standing in front of the
| $50 cashier window at Santa Anita
surrounded by three Ritz Brothers
and four pretty blondes.
Shooing the Ritz brothers away
while encouraging the blondes to
stay, I arrived at the side of Killer
Gray.
What do you think of Red Bur-
mans chances against Joe LOUISE"
I asked as I squinted through the
bars trying to see what a $50
cashier looked like.
The Killer came right to the
point.
I'VE don't think he'll go five
heats he answered.
1t was not the editorial I'VE" that
Killer employed. He never speaks
for himself alone, but for himself
and George Raft. Since they were
amateur boxers together in New
York's He'll Kitchen section, years
ago, the Killer and Raft have stayed
together. When Raft moved on to
fame as a cinema baddie, he kept
Gray with him as combination
companion, bodyguard, secretary
and shadow. Gray wasn't a real
killer in the ring, any more than
Raft was. He got his nickname from
Carole Lombard, probably because
of his ferocious expression in night
clubs around three O'Clock in the
morning.
But he knows a thing or two about
boxing. The Killer, and he has
seen Burman fight.
That Burman couldn't beat
George" Killer said disparagingly,
land George amt as tough as he
acts on the screen. l saw Burman
fight a big South American here
something called Alberto Lowell
and Lowell liked to killed him. Had
him on the floor like a pug in the
first heat, and beat him all over the
place during the next nine frames"
l reminded Killer that Burman
fought Lowell three years ago, and
might have improved great deal
since that time.
THAT don't make any difference" ="
Killer said. "You can't improve that
fast. That Burman could have stay
ed up nights improving for three
years and still not belong in the
same ring with Louis. 1 think
Georgie1l see the fight. He's in the
east for the Presidents ball, you
know. / didn't get an invitation.
First time we amt been together
in 'Ieven years. Yeah. he'll see it
all right, and he'll have chunk on
Joe
Did the Killer think that the
presence of Jack Dempsey in Bur-
mans corner would help the red
head any?
yeah" he said, "It1l help. You
can't have too many guys around
10 drag a fighter out of the place.
That Dempsey is still plenty strong,

1t was just a coincidence, but
because of a conversation with
Roch Maquar at a church bazaar
the other night, we weren't parti-
cularly surprised Friday when Pete
Buzukos busted into the office to
announce he had signed Manuel
Ortiz to battle in Calexico one
week from Tuesday night.
Buzukos had Ortiz, third rank
ing flyweight in the nation, in tow
when he breezed into the office
putting on his always-present cigar,
TO inform us of the fact Sal Baca
had been named as the first op-
ponent for Ortiz since he returned
from tour of Mexico where he
won the Mexican championship.
Maquar, sports enthusiast
whether it be baseball, football or
boxing, had asked us why pro-
fessional boxing had not been re-
turned to the valley this year.
then further suggested that some
one obtain Manuel Ortiz for a
bout or two to start things rolling.
Two other chaps, whose names
] cannot remember, buster into the
conversation at this point to re-
mind us why professional boxing
had failed to attract more than an
ordinary crowd in the past.
In the first place, they pointed
out, promoters insisted in import
ing fighters, good ones in most
instances. of whom valley fight
fans had never heard. 1t is a known

Strikes are costly and dangerous-the

they may, they never are able to get
them back. Thus, as in all strikes,

New York Factory
Employment Is High

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS).-The num-
Der of workers employed in January
by New York state factories remained
unchanged from the high December
level, Industrial Commissioner Miller
reports. Total factory payrolls rose
O.4 per cent in the month. When it is
considered that the average changes
from December to January over the
past 26 years have been losses of IL
per cent in forces and of 2.7 per cent
in payrolls, the changes this January
appear distinctly favorable. Seasonal
losses in many industries are to be
expected in January. Although such
losses did occur this year, further
gains in the defense industries were
sufficient to offset them.

CONSTRUCTIVE DECISIONS

There seems to be a disposition
among critics of organized labor to
hail the recent Supreme Court deci-
sions on picketing as setbacks to
unionism. AS a matter of fact, they
are nothing of the sort.
One decision held that state courts
have right to issue injunctions in
cases of picketing involving violence.
This should not be of any material
harm to labor. Unions that are careful
to keep clear of violence and the vast
majority are, will suffer no damage.
1t will put them on their guard against
violence, by members or sympathizers,
which in the long run is detrimental
to the interests Of labor.
The other decision upheld the right
of unions to picket plants in which
they have no members, as means of
organizing. This right has been under
fire and the Supreme Court decision
would seem to settle it once and for
all. 1t will open the way to wider and
broader organization activities and
should be of decided help to union
progress.
