the 10-round bout which follow
ed Immediately.
ARMSTRONG LOOMS
AS a result of his victory over
the pudgy red-head, Civic will
meet another former welter
king. Henry Armstrong, who is
bouncing along the comeback
trail after losing the crown to
Zivie Oct. 4, 1910, and failing to
regain il in a return match two
months later. The bout probably
will be held Nov. 6.
Although carrying enough bal
/ last TO make him list as result
of the water he was forced to
drink so he could come in over
the l47-pound limit, Zivic ripped
and slashed and thoroughly be-
fuddled and tenacious Cochrane
over the 10-round route to win
as he pleased and gain revenge
for the defeat IA months ago that
cost MIN the lllle.
The Associated Press score
card gave Civic eight rounds
and the champion two. Two
rounds, the fifth and seventh,
were taken away from Cochrane
for low blows, but he lost the
fifth by country mile anyway.
ROUGH CONTEST
1t was a rough, mauling con-
test from gong to gong. Cochrane
appeared slightly puffy and log
ey, despite the fact he came in
at l46 pounds to Zivic's lat "a,
but he kept boring in continu-
ally, trying to loop wild swings
to the body.
For a few rounds he did fairly
we'll, but as he tired and his re-
flexes began to stutter, possibly
from the adroit infighting of the
cagey Civic, he began to be
pot shot target. and in the later
rounds his nose was coming out
in a steady stream to meet Frit-
zie's sharp left jab. And stream
ing it really was, blood pouring
down his chin and dripping on
his pale chest.
There was little rough stuff
on both sides, but neither man
complained, and neither didthe
1929 customers who Clipped in
to the gross gate of S30,817.
They thoroughly enjoyed every
minute.
LITTLE DAMAGE
There was no threat of a
knockdown, and most of the Wis
ible damage was confined to
Cochrane's broad face, which
took on a cushiony appearance
as the bout progressed.
Civic obviously was in better
condition for this fight than he
was for their earlier meeting. 1t
was insisted that he scale better
than lat pounds so that he could
not make a title claim.

BROOKLYN, Sept. IL (F)
Larry MacPhail, the magnetic
maStermind of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, says he doubts his ball
club can win the National
League pennant so it may be just
as we'll that he was in Washing
ton today while the st. Louis
Cardinals set siege to EbbetS
Field.
The president of the Brooklyn
club went to the capital last
night to complete arrangements
for his entry into the Army
probably with a commission in
the field artillery in which ne
was a captain during the First
World War.
SAD FAREWELL
But before he left he witness
ed the 1912 debacle which his
Dodgers dropped to the Chicago
cubs and it apparently made him
even happier that he was march
ing off to war.
Anyway he was laughing as
he declared TO newspapermen Il
doubt if my club can win it,
and recalled the warning he had
given his players three weeks
ago that they would have to
hustle harder to stay on top.
I'VE were 8 ID games in
front" asserted the redhead,
but the club didn't look good.
The manager wanted me 70
come down to the clubhouse and
talk to the players, but | told
him that | didn't want any star
chamber sessions. | told him If
he wanted to bring them up here
10 the press room Id be glad to
tell them off.
PUBLIC SESSION
so the players came into the
press room, while lot of writ
ors were still around, and ! told
them they were 25 per cent
ahead of last year in the stand
ings, but that they weren't %
percent as good. Dixie Walker
wanted to bet me 5000 we would
win by ten games. They all
thought it was going to be a
breeze. They couldn't keep
their feet on the ground and l
told them ! didn't think they
could win the way they were
going.

Donald and Lou Thomas lead
the attack. The team should be
less erratic than last year, when
it was alternately a world beater
and a flop.
Eddie Prokop of Cleveland is
the new backfield find at Geor-
gia Tech. and Ed Reyckeley, a
220-pound sprinter, is a guard
fixture.
Jack jenkins returns at Van

drive will give Henry Saunders
plenty Of blocking and defensive

Victory Book Drive
 Will Be Continued
Despite Completion of lO,OOO,OOO Quota, Millions
 More Books Are Needed for Expanding Army

New York, Sept 18-The Victory Book Campaign will go on, despite the fact that its original quota of 10, O00, 900 books for men in the arm ed forces was oversubscribed, 1t was announced today by Paul B. Badger, chairman of the board of directors.
 New demands have made it nec- essary for us to continue" he said. We must gather many millions more books which are badly need ed by the soldiers, sailors and ma- rines in our rapidly expanding arn1- ed forces" MT, Badger lauded the work of the more than 100000 men and women in all parts of the Unit ed States who had worked so d1ll- gently to gather the original quota.
 ITO date these men and women have succeeded in bringing into our receiving depots 10,247. .760 books" he said. "The campaign is being con- tinued on recommendation of Army and Navy officials responsible for military library services. The spon- soring agencies, American Library Association, American Red Cross and USO, have approved the exten- sion of the campaign after analyz- ing the new demands being made upon us by military authorities. For authorization purposes, for instance, there are recently been request for 5000,0O books for use in our over- seas bases"
 John M. Connor, national direc- tor of the book campaign, revealed that the expense of operation of the campaign had been about a half cent per book and that distribution of the books to men in camps, through troops in transit, to off shore bases and to points of detaeh- ed service, had cost approximately two -fifths of a cent per book.
 "This low cost is a credit to the various local community organiza- tions, to the many librarians and their volunteer assistants, to the generosity of many large and small trucking operators who have trans ported our books gratis, and to the many thousands of individuals and organizations who have given and are continuing to give unselfishly of their time and efforts in this worthy cause" MT. Connor said.
 Nine organizations represented on the national advisory committee of VEG have enrolled their members in the campaign. They are: Amer ican Merchant Marine Library As- sociation; Boy Scouts of America; Camp Fire Girls; Catholic Library Association; Girl Scouts; National Congress of Parents and Teachers; National Recreation Association: Special Libraries Association; and the Library Service Division of WPA
 MT. Badger and MT. Connor made a plea for books in certain classifi- cations which have been in great demand by men in the services. The men want modern popular fiction, books on current affairs, biographies adventure and mystery stories ard technical books. In the last cate

gory. books on navigation, mathe- matics, ship construction, marine engines. aerodynamics, seamnship, photography, electricity, automotive mechanics, meteorology, physics, gunnery, etc, are in particular de- mand. These books, to be of real value, must have been published since 1885. Older texts have little value in most fields.
 MT. Connor quoted one military official, veteran of the World War, as saying this was 8 war of pro- motion examinations" In camps and naval stations and forts all over the country and abroad, hundreds of thousands of American soldiers and sailors are studying in every spare moment to achieve higher rank. Many hundreds of thousands of text books have been made avail able to them through VEG, but the demand has always been more than the supply.

self provides additional support for over head flooring. It is two- deck affair, with mattresses for adul@i on the floor level and for children above. The sharply angled sides of the structure are designed to provide a maximum of protec- ton through their deflection of fall- ing timbers or objects.
 Both ends of the shelter are open, reducing to a minimum the danger of its occupants being trapped Hinged wire mesh grills, however, cover these openings as a preau- tion against flying particles of debris. These grills are hinged at the top and open outwards. They swing down when shut against the outer framework of the openings. This arrangement permits the oc- cupants ready exit and reduces the chance that the grills in them selves might hinder this exit in the event of an emergency.

The Connecticut householder who may feel dissatisfied with his eff forts to provide adequate blackout and shelter for his home has an op- portunity to view a variety of ap- proved materials and techniGues at bhe Connecticut Prepares" exposi- ton of the State Defense Council at the State Armory, Hartford, from September 21 through September g7.
 Two model rooms, fitted with a wide assortment of available black out materials and displaying such ARP householders' items as bomb snuffers, asbestos gloves, fire ex- tinguishers and compounds for smothering incendiary fires, will be on exhibit. Also on public dis play, for the first time in Connecti- cut, is full size inside sleeping shelter for family of four. Called "Teepee" shelter and const ructed of heavy timber from specifications supplied by the air raid shelter committee of the New Haven De- fense Council, the structure is the result of extensive research to meet the conditions of an average small American home.
 As arranged on the Armory floor, the two blackout rooms are set up on either side of the iling-height inversted V shaped shelter. Both display rooms are of normal height and with full size windows. Both rooms show complete blackout fa- cilities and a shelter room and fire lighting items.
 Among the items to be on view in one booth are fabric and metal pails, large and small shovels, an axe, crowbar, lanterns, candles, flashlights together with oil stoves, and a firemaster bomb set, blackout paint, special shades and splinter proof blackout pads.
 Tho second blackout and shelter display room exhibits variety of blackout shades, window frames, plastic side clips, splinter proof pads, ready-made curtains and sa- teen, flame proof velour and felt materials for curtains and draperies, Other items shown include stirrup pumps, blackout paint and paper, snuffers, fire extinguishers and a long, handled bomb shovel.
