COSKEY ENL|STS
PROMOTERS AID
Asks Boxing, Wrestling
Returns for Paralysis
Fund

Anxious to secure every possible
aid from Connecticut promoters of
sports events to the President S
Diamond Jubilee Celebration for the
Infantile Paralysis Fund, State Ath-
letic Commissioner Frank Coskey
has contacted every boxing pro-
moter in the state, relative to the
matter adding the suggestion that
they do what they can in regard
to contributions through boxing
and wrestling for the Infantile
Paralysis Fund
The general idea is contained in
the following letter from Commits
sioner Coskey to the Connecticut
promoters:
Dear Promoter:
President Abe Greene OF the Ma
tional Boxing Association has made
an earnest appeal to all member
states to get behind the drive to
raise funds for the fight on the
dread scourge of infantile paralysis
In pledging the cooperation OF
the state athletic commission in this
great work have every confidence
the promoters of this state will not
be found wanting. have assured
President Greene that he can count
on the boxing and wrestling frater-
nifty to do more than it's share.
The splendid gesture of Cham
pion Joe Louis and Mike Jacobs in
donating their full end of the Baer
fight receipts to the Navy Relief
Society has reacted to the lasting
credit of the boxing industry. BY
helping the fight Infantile Paraly-
sis campaign, We can not only aid
the unfortunate victims of this
disease but bring further credit to
boxing. DO not let us miss this OPP
portunity.
Sport writer's have pledged them
selves to throw open their columns
TO benefit shows of this nature
There is campaign committee in
practically every community in the
state and posters and coin collectors
are available at each headquarters
One-half OF the funds are returned
TO the community in which they are
raised to administer to local infan-
tile paralysis needs-the remainder
is sent to the National Foundation
to further scientific study.
l would appreciate you dropping
me a line, assuring me that you
intend to get behind the drive. YOU
Will receive the heartfelt thanks
OF every little child who has fallen
a victim of this terrible affliction.
Sincerely yours,
FRANK S. COSKEY,
| Commissioner

Pep, Kaufman To
Clash Tuesday
In Hartford Ring

Hartford, Jan 26.-Willie Pep,
popular featherweight of this city
like any other young fighter has
ambitions, and right now his lean
ings may inject him into the con-
troversial New England feather
weight title picture.
Recently boxing solons of the New
England states met and named
Bobby (Poison) Ivy of this city the
feather champ. Which in short
order brought protests from other
points of the district covered. 1t
seems that Abe Denner of Boston
squaWked at the choice and,
through his managerial mouthpiece,
claims to be the legitice feather
weight boss.
And from New Haven is herad
the cry that Johnny Compo, who
split in two bouts with Ivy should
have something to say about the
matter. Compo would like another
crack at Ivy and will challenge him
If he wins or holds his own in
bout with joey Ianotti in New Ha-
ven this week.
Pep has similar ambitions. But he
Is not so forward. Willie has a
date with Able Kaufman. Philadel-
phia battler, here Tuesday night
at Foot Guard nall. If he adds
Kaufman to his list of "a straight
victims he expects to do a little
bit of challenging himself. He
expects to step into the breach and
hurl q def at the winner OF the
Compo-IanOtti shindig.
If the unbeaten local feather
weight beats Kaufman, he will &C
complish what neither Ivy nor An
gelo Rodano of NoroWalk were
able to do. For Kaufman held
both to a draw Pep also beat
Mexican Joe Silva, who has held Ivy
and Beau Jack of Springfield to
draws.
Pep and Kaufman in one of
two-eight FOUNDERS heading the
show at Foot Guard hall Tuesday.
Two SKIES and a four complete the
card. Art (Tiger) Foster of Buff
falo and the unbeaten Smokey"
Robinson of Springfield clash in the
other eight rounder. Foster has
only been beaten by Robinson in a
previous meeting.

Well, it's back in style again.
only now they call it a "band-o'-
hair" and use it in new and
ingenious ways.
If your hairdresser grew too
enthusiastic about your new short
haircut, you can cover the dam
age with an obliging hair-piece
that exactly matches your own
shorn locks and adapts itself to
curls. buns or bangs with equal
ease.
Added hair pieces can solve
many of your problems. The day
you go swimming, with no time to
be prettied at the hairdresser,s
before you don your long skirt
for the evening, all you do is pin
on curls which look as if they
grew from your own head.
There are dozens of ways to
dress hair with luxurious skein
of hair, even if you're butter
fingered. 1t consists of two long
bands of hair deftly joined to-
gether with a natural looking
twist. Made with a bow-shaped
shocked foundation, it fits snugly
and securely even on the shortest
hair. For regal evening coiffure.
you can wear it as a braided
coronet or have a smart chignon
effect by simple twist ut the
nape Of your neck.

II am expecting baby in the

I will ever wear the slim clothes

Will there be good maternity
clothes still on the narket?"
Infants and expectant mothers

ever they want. There are no
restrictions whatever on their
clothes. You will be able to find
plenty of good maternity cos
tunes, adapta tons of the new

long enough to look well?"
Unless you wear clothes longer
than the average woman you
should still be able to find even
dresses to suit you. A fur coat
offers no problem, as q fash
ionable length is seven -eighths.
A coat that would be full length
on another woman will be just
right as seven-eighths coat on
you. These coats have rather
full, swagger lines.

should do. 1t would be we'll to
consult your hostess, however,
if you want to be safe. Newest
dresses for dining out and for
informal dancing in the evening
are dark sheers with feminine,
