THE DAYS
SPORTS PARADE

his boy can't knock out nobody
yet. So I accept the boy for zelin-
sky.
We'll, it's fight night, and we
have a good crowd I come out of
the office in front after estimating
the dough and I'm looking up and
down the street TO see II more fans
are coming when I hear the gong
ring, and I know the first prelim
is on. So I go inside.
L have a strong heart-never had
a stroke or anything in my life
but I almost drop in the aisle when
I take a look at the ring. Zelinsky
is in there all right, throwing
punches in all directions, but his
opponent isn't any boy. It's So
year-old Stockings Kelly, looking
as if he had just jumped off a
slab in the morgue, what with his
being withered by age and scared
white.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-08-05
THROWS RIGHT

Il tOtter down to the ringside to
the accompaniment of fans mumbl-
ing Wot Ia heck It's because they
all known Kelly and how old he
is So I don't know what to do.
Kelly is running backwards, throw
ing left jabs at Man-eater Zelin-
SKI, who is swinging all over the
place and amin to kill the old
gaffer. This keeps up for about two
minutes while I'm trying to figure
what TO do Then, all of a sudden,
old Stockings Kelly sorta lunches
up and throws a right. 1t is one of
the most perfect rights I ever saw.
1t hits Zelinsky on the chin and
knocks him cold. When ZelinSky is
counted out, the crowd goes wild
in admiration of old Kelly. Fans
rush the ringside and climb in to
shake his hand. They slap me on
the back and say / am a genius as
a promoter.
Finally Kelly gets to the dress
ing room and I say wottinhell is
the meaning of this. He says his
boy don't show up for the fight
and he doesn't want to disappoint
me and the crowd, SO he 'borrys' a
pair of trunks and goes in TO fight,
himself he says he was scared stiff
and he got so tired running from
zelinsky that he couldn't have kept
on his pins for the rest Of the
round. So he decides TO risk every
thing an dthrow a right-in des-
peration. H ewas more surprised
than Zelinsk"-or me.
Ever since the NJ never took too
much stock in a fighters age,
Lewis said And he concluded
Il don't know whether Chalky
Wright is 30 or 40, bat he's a good
fighter and don't sell him short
against young, Stolz."

Coffman Has No-Hitter
STARS
-IGH7
DIMS

Charles Coffman, Ell Cen
tro bread merchant, hurled
no-hit ball Tuesday night as
he blanked the all-stars, g.
@. and his team of "no-stars
outshone the all-stars of the B
softball league.
With splendid backing IN the
|, d, Coffman faced but
% batters in the seven innings OF
the game. He famed five and walk
ed but one man in shutting out the
weakened all-Star team.
The performance was the first
no-hitter of the season in Softball
here and has only been approached
by that of Carl Jackson. all-star
chucker, who has pair of tWo-hit
games to his credit.
JACKSON OFF GAME
Jackson was quite a bit off his
usual mound game Tuesday night
as he gave up u hits to the team
gathered together by Jerry Bennett
to do battle with the all-StarS. Ben
nett, who was recently appointed
to manage the all-stars, had chal-
lenged the star aggregation from
the loop to a game against his pick
up team before his appointment.
Allen Jernigan, who agreed to
manage the all-stars while Bennett
was directing his team Tuesday
night, was unable to get several of
the players who has usually played
for the twinks and had to fill in
his lineup with pickups. Manuel
Ortiz, second baseman, and Paul
Gastelum, shortstop, were unable
to be there. Dutch Van Nostrand
was absent as were Max Sones and
Dan Ruley.
The fielding of the no-stars left
nothing to be desired. Tunney Will
liams capered in the infield at
shortstop and Lee Lewis held down
second base quite adequately.
Several times the all-stars almost
spoiled Coffman's show as they
pounded hard-hit balls but the
fielders came up with them for the
put outs. Glenn Rosenbalm hand
led third-base well for the no-stars,
making five assists to first without
an error.

 MT. Cattaneo was engaged by the telephone company in New Haven in 1924. He became commercial sur- vey supervisor the following year, and held various other headquar- ters supervisory posts until 1886, when he was transferred to Nor walk as manager. A year later he was promoted to the Hartford man agership, and became district man. ager in Waterbury in March, 1941. For the past few months he has been communications officer of the State Defense Council, which posi- tion he will continue to hold in connection with his new post at New Haven.
 MT. Hartt began his telephone career in 1927 as coin telephone collector in Hartford. He held suc- cessively higher posts in the Hart ford business office, becoming as- sistant manager in 1929. He then served as manager in Putnam and Manchester, and returned to New Haven in 1886.

 This all seemed rather amusing, at first. But the American chapter of Islam has become less funny, in the eyes of the FBI, since several members of the cult were convicted of wraft dOdging.

And Gulam Began himself has just been indicted by Federal Grand Jury for draft evasion.
 The cold viciousness of the cults hatred for the white is startling, to say the least. Turbaned members stare jelly at all whites. Con- temptuous evasion keynotes all dealings with the oposite race.
 The American flags colors are explained by Islam's mullahs thus: The blue stands for untruth, and the white represents the white mans complexion-impure Red symbolizes justice, but only to the healthy and wealthy, while the starts are gov ernors of the states which have persecuted Negroes.

THE SUNSHINE

Today the sun is shining, And it is shining all the time; There's no such thing as repining, In such pleasant clime The wind Is blowing very gently,
 The flowers are nearly all in bloom. The girls are swinging in the garden, And all is peace at home. The dew fell very gently
 Last night, here and there. Today all things are lovely,
 And the scene is very fair see some bright red apples
 Up in a nearby little tree. They make the very best of sauce, The best of all that we can see. There are some lovely peaches
 Growing on the tree near by, And some very tasty grapes,
 On the arbor not too high. An easy chair Is at the pear tree. A bird bath near the fence For all the feathered warblers.
 Their joy is just immense. But it is the glorious sunshine
 That brings joy to all around. There would be none without 1t,
 A joy that cannot otherwise be found. So let the sun shine brighter
 And light us by the way, Fill all the war clouds vanish
 In . more happy, better day.
