During a trip East in Washing
ton, d. Q. she met Dan Gary, who
was making some engagements fer
the band. She was much older than
Dan and in ordinary language got
stuck on him. He is alleged to
have been a petty racketeer with a
cunning mind which enabled him to
live off his wits. 1 heard this after
he had helped cause this trouble.
This guy, Dan Gary, saw the pos
sibility Of exploiting an all girl band
in the commercial world and starr
ing conspiring with Rae Lee to take
control Of the band. In the fall Of
1871, his services in making dates
for the band were discontinued and
the band returned South. The
school then started making engage
ments because it knew the southern
territory.
During the fall and winter, the
band, in charge Of Rae Lee, was
filling some engagements in Geor-
gia, Florida and Alabama, when Dan
Gary made several trips south and
visited with Rae Lee and the orch
estra telling them if they would
come out of the south to Washing
ton, ID. O., he would put them in the
union, use them a great deal in
New York and the East and this
would bring them fame and fortune.
In brief, they could have AL this

In about March or April. 1912,
the school sensed something was
smelly and gave Rae Lee a longer
vacation than it gave the girls Of
the orchestra, using another chap
erone for the balance of the time IN
til the girls were to 90 out on their
vacation"
Dishman said he met the girls in
Pensacola, Florida together with
the mother Of n Of the girls in
the band who was to be the chaper-
one. He informed Rae Lee Jones
that she was released of her job so
she could have an even longer yac-
alton than she thought.
Late that night Dishman said,
through p~retense Of wanting to get
into the back of the bus for some
thing, she secured the keys from

and sent them back to the driver
who put the keys under his pillow
and went to sleep.
About 3 a. m, while everybody
was asleep, including the girls Of

with the girls, instruments, music.
and what not and proceeded north.
Dishman said he and the regular
bus driver were asleep in another
part Of the territory and didn't
know what had happened.

Rae Lee took the band to Pen

Of eight rounds on pro fight card

June 4th. Matchmaker George
Sheppard has announced.
Both will be fighting for the
right to meet Willie Pep, unde-
feated Hartford favorite here in

who gave Pep the toughest fight OF
the latter's career. Curley dropped
a decision, but he busted Pops left

from the nose and mouth in the
late stages of the bout. staggering
the Hartfordite several times.

Meanwhile, Compo is fresh from
a one-sided win over Joe Iannottl.
Compo handed Iannotti a thrashing
for ten rounds. and many critics

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-05-29

Brig. Gen. John J. Phelan, chair
man of the boxing commission,
equip all future judges and referees
with Seeing Eye" dogs.
While the mice were thoroughly
discrediting themselves with the
crowd, the newspaperment and even
with the fighters, Robinson was los
ing much of the wide-eyed adulaticn
with which his admirers regard him.
Only in flashes did he perform like
a truly great ringman; at other
times he was busily displaying his
dislike Of his trade.
The bout was a thriller in spots.
Servo, who appears to be almost as
old as high school basketball play
er, gave Robinson a full evening in
their first meeting six months ago
when the decision also was split
and he was buster than lion tanner
at feeding time again in this second
go-round. He forced the action, but
Robinson landed the harder blows.
The pattern was fashioned in the
first round. It was slow and DELHI
crate. Robinson circled his smaller
opponent like hawk circling hen
house. Ray has no real love of
braWl and as usual he preferred to
stay at long range where his looping
smasheS could be shot over with a
minimum of danger. Servo, how
ever, was all for mitigating.
Lost Best Round
And so 1t went. In the second,
Cavanagh all but brought down the
house whenhe penalized Servo for
low blow that was struck by the
Negro. This was Servos best round,
but it was taken away. From then
through the sixth the Negro domi-
mated. At times he rocked Servo
with his smashes, but in the seventh
the Coast Guardsman came back.
Robinson said he injured his left
hand early and 1t was almost useless
through these last few rounds. Be
that as it may, he also was a tired
young man. But although tired, he
was smart. Servo would force the
fight fer the first two and a half
minutes of the round; Robinson
would stage spectacular furry in
the last 80 seconds and do his dam
age then.
1t was this strategy which inspired
loud abuse of Robinson from the
crowd when the decision was an
nounced. And it was this strategy
which confused the officials. Healy
obviously judged each round on its
time element and Servo carried the
offensive most of the way.
It's about time they got together.

Shut Out To Give Alsab
A Tough Run In Belmont
Bargain Colt
Again Has To
Prove Himself
The Champion
BY HARRY GRAYsON
NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, May 29-Following
Alsab's smashing victory in the
Withers Mile, Ben Jones remarked:
1--WE never seen anything like It on
a race track"
That was a fine compliment, COM
ing from plain Ben Jones. He Is
only the trainer of horse named
WhirlaWay.
When Alsab ran away from the
field in 1885 les, eased up and not
pressed the last quarter on dull
track, veterans said he had the s.
year old championship sewed up.
What were not shipped like Shut
Out, Devil Diver and Requested,
were unsound like Sun Again.
So 1t was a great break for Army
and Navy Day, June 6, when Shut
Out came back, following his dis
appointing Preakness, to trim Chal-
ledon by six lengths in winning the
Ballot Handicap of a mile and an
eighth in 1:48 AS, only two-fifths
of a second behind the Belmont
Park track record and the best time
Of the meeting.
REUTER- SHUT OUT
IS A WORTHY FOE
Working the rest of the way under
under Eddie Arcaro, the Kentucky
Derby winner completed mile and
a quarter in 2:02 les, faster than
the time Of the winner Of the 1941
Suburban.
Shut Out Is a reuter-, all right,
and once more Alsab Is required
to prove himself the champion-in
the mile and half Belmont Stakes.
Six or eight will go, but 1t will be
a tWo-horse race.
Not a few thought Shut Outs
performance so remarkable that 1t
was good enough to indicate that
he would defeat Alsab.
Veterans continue to string along
with the bargain colt, however, for
the track on Withers day was much
slower than it was when the son
of Equipoise made a show of Chal-
ledon, the former handicap cham
pion, which wasn't within 20 pounds
Of top form.
Carrying 112 pounds, scale weight
for a 3-year-old, Shut Out gave two
pounds by the scale for age to the
son of Challenger II.
Alsab and Shut Out will each lug
1875 pounds in the Belmont.
AL SABATHS ENJOY ALsAB
AND WHY SHOULDN'T THEY?
They now make book following
Alsab's races on who'll get to the
horse first to lead him into the
winners circle-Al Jolson or AL
SABBATH.
Some Of the old-timers contend
the Sabaths lack dignity the way
they whoop 1t up following the
Good Goods chargers triumphs.
Everybody in the vicinity gets big
smack and the entire company ac-
companies the horse to the barn,
where champagne party is pitched.
Personally, I like this kind of
stuff. Why not enjoy a good horse
when you've got one? There isn't
nearly enough enthusiasm on the
turf. Most OF 1t is entirely too COM

do they expect Albert SABBATH to do

which has won $197,575?

Greg. U. S. Pat. OFF,
By JACK GUENTHER

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, May 29-(UP)-Ray
Robinson, the thin-limbed Negro
who supposedly combines the more
destructive attributes of small dog,
pound of termites and woman
scorned, stretched his CORY chain of
boxing triumphs to l21 last night
and in so doing lost almost as much
prestige as the three blind mice who
served as referee and judges.
The lean, lank product Of Har-
lem's side stretes added a rather
weak link to his chain by out-point-
ing Marty Servo Of the Coast Guard
In a return match. He mopped up
rather efficiently but all he earned
besides his cut of the purse was an
assortment Of fancy aches and pains
in his left hand, his head and both
his close-cropped ears.
Robinson entered the ring in Mad
ison Square Garden a 81 favorite
and climbed out Of it As minutes
later no better than an 8-5 shot One
of the three blind mice didn't think
he was even that coed. This par
ticular mouse, grayish fellow who
calls himself Referee Billy Cavan-
agh, amazed everybody by casting
his vote for the pink young Servo.
Odd Stuff
This action added note Of sorry
slapstick to what was anything but
a memorable date in the history Of
ring officiating. For while Cavan-
agh was giving Servo five rounds
with two even, Judge Bill Healy was
awarding Robinson six rounds with
one even and Judge Tom Curley
was tabbing the Harlem Hottentot
for nine rounds with none even.
This split decision followed similar
displays Of divided opinion in the
Bob Pastor Tami Mauriello bout last
week and the Sammy Angott-Allie
Stolz show the week before. If 1t
means anything, 1t may be inter-
preted only as a monument to the
inadequacy of either the officials
themselves or of their hardly uni
form standards of judgment.
All three men were watching the
same fight at the same time. Yet,
one of them gave Servo but single
round while another gave him five.
One gave Robinson nine rounds
while another gave him only three.
At this point, 7 might suggest that
