zivic Rates Cowboy Shank Worthy Foe
 For Ray Robinson

New York, Aug. 18-Ray Robinson will be making a serious mistake If he underestimates the fistic ability of Cowboy Ruben Shank, Keens- burg, Colo, welterweight whom he faces in ten-round match at Mar ison Square Garden on Friday night.
 Such is the opinion of Fritzie Ziyic, former world Welterweight champion, who speaks with knowl- edge because he has twice faced Shank and has twice met Robinson. The cowboy won decisively from Zivic in their first meeting and lost close verdict in the rematch.
 Shank is the strongest guy ever ran up against" says zivic. He's built like brick schoolhouse. Most fighters lose some of their steam in the last couple of rounds of a tough fight but the tenth round is just the same as the first with Shank. He just never gets tired. He must be like those oldtime fighters who could go 40 rounds without catching their second wind.
 Throws Leather
 He's got the most unusual style I ever saw. guess you wouldn't call it any style at all. He just keeps throwing punches and you never know where the punches are going to come from. And they hurt. He throws lot of gloves to the body which is something Robinson isn't going to like at all.
 ''The guy is fast, too, and it's hard to got a clean shot at him. He knows how to roll with punches and he weaves away from most of them. But when you do happen to get a shot at his jaw he bounces right back and tries to take the play from you, the way Barney Ross used to do.
 T don't know whether Shank can whip Robinson or not but do know he will give Robinson one of the busiest and toughest evenings he has ever had. know he made 1t plenty hot for me, even in our second fight when I no longer un- derrated him."

 AMATEUR RANKS
Talbert Latest to Go; Schroeder, MulIoy Re-
 main in Top Ten

Chestnut Hill, Mass, Aug. 18- (UP)-Only two of the nations top 10 amateur tennis players remained Tn active competition today after Bill Talbert, 23-year old Cincinnati youth, was ordered to report im- nediately to his Portchester, N r., draft board.
 Talbert's probable retirement for the duration leaves only Ted Schroeder of Los Angeles and Gard Ter Mulloy of Miami to carry on for the first ten players. Schroeder is not competing in the Longwood BcWl tournament here. Mulloy is top-seeded in this tournament but is a member of the naval reserve and may be called to active duty.
 The second-seeded Talbert, who defeated Schroeder in the Newport Casino final Sunday, received his notice yesterday while competing in a first-round match against Robert Smidl of Chicago. Talbert de- faulted when he reached match point after winning the first set, 6-3, and leading in the second, 5-1.
 Mulloy will get his initial test today against Arthur Mcdonald of Los Angeles while top foreign seed Francisco Segura of Ecuador op- poses Al Everts of Newton.
 BrOugh vs BetZ
 Tn the women's field of 32, first seeded Louise Brough of Beverly Hills, Cal, opens drive for her ninth straight tournament triumph this season with second-seeded Pauline Betz of Los Angeles as her principal opposition.

MRS. COOKE SWAPS TENNIS TITLE FOR BASSINET
1941 Champion Won't Defend U. s. Crown
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

NsSw York, Aug.-Mrs. Sarah Pal frey Fabian Cooke will not defend the national women's singles ten- his championship at Forrest Hills, Aug. 27, Sept. 2.
 The petite Boston matron is swapping the crown for a bassi- net, close friends understand. She has not played any tennis all sum- mer.
 Mrs. Cooke scaled the singles heights last fall in her 18th att tempt, repelling Pauline Betz of Los Angeles and Rollins College in the final.
 She credited her husband, FL wood Cooke with improving her game. Cooke, an internationalist in his own right, is now officer in the Navy.
 MISS BROUGH WOULD BE YOUNGEST SINCE WILLS
 With Mrs. Cooke out of compe- tition, the finalists generally are expected to he 19-year-old Louise Trough of Beverly Hills and Miss Betz, with Margaret Osborn of San Francisco having to be figured.
 Miss Brough would be the young est national women's singles cham pion since Mrs. Helen Wills Moody Roark first hit the headlines.
 Miss Rrough, national girls champion of last year, won her third consecutive Eastern grass singles crown when she defeated Miss Betz, 6-3, 7-5, to succeed the latter as Eastern champion.
 It may be that Mis- Betz needed this tournament, the first on grass she had played this season. MISS BROUGH SHOULD BE A GREAT CHAMPION
 Miss Brough has an amazingly good game, however, despite the fact that obviously she has not yet fully developed it. Her ground shots are a little wild, but she possesses & vast amount of natural ability.
 In the EaStren tournament Miss Brough showed to best advantage when operating from 6 position close to the net. She displayed glaring weakness overhead, some times smashing clear to the back stop nets or dumping the ball into the bottom of the net. What saves her is a habit of suddenly gaining control overhead in a crisis.
 Once Louise Brough has smooth ed out the rough spots and is able to concentrate all her re- sources and exact the fullest meas ure of value from her latent abil- ity, she promises to take her place among the great champions of the past.

State Has Record
Excess of Cash

SACRAMENTO. Oct. 14.-U.P0
California start q the second quar-
ter of the 1928 fiscal year with a
record excess of $42,227,112 in its
general fund, compared with tie-
ficit of $34,718,560 year ago, State
Controller Harry B. Riley reported
toady.
Total revenue for the three
mcnths, July 1 to September 80,
was S58,481 900, an increase of
$4,482,6l0 over the corresponding
period last year. The largest in
crease occurred in the bank and
corporation franchise tax which
yielded $14,223,4l5, as compared
with 1886, ,422 year ago Increases
also were reported in revenue from
the personal income tax, liquor
taxes and licenses and motor trans
portation taxes.
War restrictions on the purchase
of durable goods caused $780,
781 decrease in returns from the re-
tail sales tax, the states major
revenue producer Receipts for the
quarter totaled $31 1,O09,784.
Riley said that expenditures dur
ing the three-month period showed
a drop of S1,692,805 compared with
a year ago, due largely to a decrease
in miscellaneous appropriations and
discontinuance of the unemploy-
ment relief program.

BABlES,TH
BUMPER CROP
(Redding Record)

A person does not need to be doctor
to know that a very large number of
babies have recently been born in Shasta
county nor be a prophet, a leyette sales
woman, or Gallup poll-taker to predict
a large continuing crop. The evidence is
quite evident on every hand.
So it is in the whole United States The
census bureau now estimates that more
than 100000 children were born in this
country during 1941 This is the largest
number for any year since 1921, way
back in the midst of the peaceful Coolidge
regime. 1t is no less than 100000 in ex-
cess of the total for 1940
This high number of birds raised the
national birth rate to 1873 per thousand.
Beginning shortly after the last world
war the birth rate fell gradually until
in 1888 the all-time low of 1863 per 1000
was reached. Since that year it has been
steadily increasing. Since 1893, the birth
rate will be as high or higher, and there
by almost Is per cent.
This cycle of changes pretty much re-
fleets the marriage rates, which in turn
reflect the varying economic conditions.
The statisticians say the 1912 marriage
will be babies in great abundance.
Furthermore, this great human crop
is expected to mean more in the way of
population during the rest of the Goth
century than it ever would have meant
before. This is due to the fact that death
rates for infants have been dramatically
dropping in this country; hence, the life
expectancy of these new born Americans
is much greater than it ever has been for
other generations. In other words, young
Americans are coming into the world
with an accelerated rapidity, and they
are likely to remain here living useful
lives for a good long while.

Writes:

because we do not have enough men
to do the fighting, manufacture the
armament and munitions of war,
raise the food, and keep essential
services going.
Yet in the single city of New
York there are supposed to be al
most half a million men and wom-
en- who want to work they cannot
find. And in California a scandal is
brewing because large war plants
are boarding men whose services
they cannot use, as insurance
against the coming day when those
men will be needed.
Aside from the shortage of skilled
workers, which is a different prob
lem involving training and up
grading, the manpoWer crisis is a
direct result of maldistribution.
We do not have as many men as
we shall need eventually. even II
all our manpoWer were utilized with
100 per cent efficiency. But we
do have enough men and women,
able and willing to do war work, to
meet our industrial needs up to
the present, if they were properly
located and assigned.
The maldiStribution arises be-
cause, obviously, it has not been
possible to place war orders ex-
actly where there was labor ready
and waiting for employment.
1t persists because it is not easy
to move workers and their fami-
lies about the country, as one might
an oversupply of potatoes or oil
anhtrcite ccal, taking from sur
pluses to supply deficiencies.
1t is not easy to do this-but IL
is possible. And exactly that sort
of juggling is what the industrial

SCRAPHEAP SYMBOLISM
Nevada State JournaD

Shortly before the Worlds Fair opened
in New York City, Italy sent to this coun-
try for exhibition some of 1taly's modern
railroad equipment.
The equipment included a three-car
train, two small electric passenger cars,
a diesel powered passenger car and a re-
frigerator car. The streamlined passen-
ger cars were designed to provide maxi
mum comfort for passengers. After the
fair closed and the buildings were torn
down, the railroad equipment was stored
in Kearny, n. j., as Italy having declared
war and fearing the British blockade, did
not take back the trains
SO for two years the equipment was
left to rust. After America entered the
war against Italy, the trains still were
left in storage. They are of a different
gauge from that of American railroad
trains and could not be used on this coun-
trys lines A few days ago Leo I. Crow
ley, alien property custodian, ordered the
equipment turned over to the nationwide
scrap collection campaign.
Most Americans will hope that there
is something symbolic in this transforma-
tion of the pride of Italys railroad prog
ress into scrap for the United Nations.
