what about Harry Greb, at his
best, and Stanley Ketchel?" asked
Kearns. Pound for pound, were
there any two greater?"
Both were great" Kearns said.
"But here again you have two diff
ferent styles. The Greb that al
most assassinated Gene Tunney and
Tom Gibbons, before his eyes went
bad, was a whirIwind. I'm not sure
Ketchel, as good as he was, could
have ever nailed him.
"But if you are talking about
pound-for-pound stars, I'll slip you
pair = Bob Fitzsimmons and
Mickey Walker. Don't forget that
Fitz weighed in around 158 pounds
for Corbett. And he was worlds
heavyweight champion after that
scrap. Mickey Walker was not even
middleweight. But know of more
than one worlds heavyweight cham
pion he could have beaten.
"For another example, don't be-
ieve Joe Louis would have given
Dempsey any more trouble than
Mickey Walker would have given
Jack. Crazy? All right. But we
come again to matter of styles.
Mickey Walker would have given
Dempsey all the trouble in sight.
The Peacemalser
Heres a funny story" Kearns
said, ''that few know. By getting
me out of fight for nothing, I got
Dempsey into fights worth millions.
81 was having an argument in
San Francisco barroom with big
Swede named Hansen. An ex-hobo,
who had lost most of his fights, was
sitting in the corner, all alone. His
name was Dempsey. I finally
slugged the Swede, and the Swede
slugged me back. About that time
this kid Dempsey got up, took me by
the arm and led me out. The Swede
had so pounds on me, so I wasn't
sore. It was that night we decided
to work together, although my pals
told me I was cuckoo. I think the
first move I made took us both to
the top. Dempsey had been right
hand crazy. I turned him into
left-hand hooker by tieing his right
hand to his side and using only his
left. It was Dempsey's left that led
on to some S10,000,000 in gate re-
ceipts.''
Great Light,Ueights
There has been a rather weird
scramble lately involving mixed
weights.
By this we mean the top drawing
cards of the day-WilIie Pep, a
featherweight, around I28 pounds
Johnny Greco, a lightweight, with a
displacement of LII pounds-Beau
Jack, another lightweight who can
make LBS p0unds-Fritzie Zivic,
welterweight at LAT pounds.
81 don't care what they weigh, as
long as the crowd wants to see 'em
fight" That's Mike Jacobs rebuttaI.
But how would these compare with
the greatest Eghtweights of all time?
Some time back I took a vote from
IL of the old guard who had been
around 40 years or more. Fifteen
voted for Joe Cans, the other two
for Benny Leonard.
McAuliffe was better than good.
Kid Lavigne was no collection of
mush. Ring history is full of good
hghtweights.
Henry Armstrong at his peak
could move around, using two hands
from time to time.
But Pep, Greco and Beau Jack
can also fight.

 Our work was varied and inter esting and to the mutual benefit of evMyone." Commander Patterson reports. When our (originaD sup plies ran out, which did not take very long, we were aElC to keep go- ing by borrowing materials from hospital ships and supply ships which put into our harbor.
 No Trench Mouth
 we had only two true cases of trench mouth, neither of which or- iginated on our island, which is quite a contrast to the records of World War I.
 Tn the age group of the patients we cared for, the eruption of im- pacted teech was quite a problem. We found that by using surgical cleanliness and sulfanilamide crys- tals. locally after attractions, the problem of infections in the tropics is no greater than elsewhere" Commander Patterson and Cap atin McKimmons, in the first days following their arrival, alternated in the use of one-seat Army porta- ble equipment set up on the porch of a frame house. In their present location they now have all the fa- cilities of modernly equipped den- tai clinic of four chairs, units X-ray, running water, air compressor and a portable prosthetic laboratory.

That was more than a year ago, rhen the Dayton (Ohio) Medical Specialists Unit landed, and, in the rords of Commander Patterson, we've been busy ever since," The dental department is one of the sev- tral departments of "No. 2" which has no lull," he states.
 Commander Patterson doubts if any navy dental activity has ever had such a variety of patients as have passed through the hands of nin and his colleagues. (These lat ter now include It. Comdr. Elmer F. Hartwig ,DC), USNR, of St. Louis, Mo, and It. Jacob I. Essig (DC), USNR, of Cincinnati, O., and Louisville, Ky).

 Any and all members of the Allied armed forces requiring dental att tention come with the "jurisdic- ton" of Commander Patterson s realm. Thus dental care has been extended not only to U. s. Army Navy and Marine personnel, but to the crews of various United Nations merchant and war ships, Allied fighting and police forces and suf- fering native Melanesians and Pol enysians.

This month at map time to the
 east of Lyra in the Milky Way lies Cygnus, the Swan. Some see this constellation more readily as a Cross, but a Swan can be recognized when one realizes that the long beam of the Cross represents the outstretched neck of the bird as it flies southward along the Milky
 Way. The branches of the crossbar are then its outstretched wings. The leading star of Cygnus, Alpha or Deneb, indicates the top of the
 Cross or, if one sees the constella- ton as Swan, the tail of the bird. The foot of the Cross, or the beak of the Swan, is then marked by Beta, or Albireo, the southernmost star in the constellation. Albireo is one of the most beautiful doubles known, for its components through the telescope are blue and gold. On tho Swans right wing shines the little star 61-the first star whose

from the 7th of June to the 18th of August. To the northwest of Altair, Professor Barnard Namous American astronomer) discovered a comet from it's trail on a photo graph taken at Lick Observatory University of California; on the 18th of October, 1892-the first ever found by the camera.
 Sagittarius
 Directly east of Scorpio and low on the southern horizon for obser- vers in middle northern attitudes, is Sagittarius, the Archer, looking very much like small inverted Milk Dipper with short handle. This part of Sagittarius is also sometimes seen as a Teapot. The figure of the Archer is not so easy to see. Sigma, the constellation's brightest star, shines in his shoulder, zeta in his upper arm, and Delta and Gamma indicate an arrow about to be shot westward from his Bow, which is
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-29

marked by Lambda, Delta, and Epsilon. Eta, below Epsilon, is in the lower half of the Bow, while Mu is in its upper tip. The Archer's head is indicated by group of five stars northeast of Sigma. Alpha and Beta Sagittarii, which are not so bright as some of the stars in the Milk Dipper and Bow, lie too far south to be seen from the United States.
 Sagittarius is most significant for its many star clusters, two of which are visible to the naked eye. One, which appears two or three times as broad as the full moon, looks like a projection at the edge of the Milky Way, and is located just above Mu. Another cluster appears to be composed of curious grouping of star clouds and nebulae. Although Sagittarius has no star of the first magnitude and only one of the sec ond, the presence of the Milky Way flowing through 1t lends certain glory and majesty to the constel- lation.
 The sun passes through Sagit- tarius from the 18th of December to the 18th of January, reaching the winter solstice near the star Mu on the 21st of December. An extraordinarily brilliant nova, wis., ible for three months, Is said to have appeared low down in the constellation in 1911 or 1912.
 The Solar System
 An annular eclipse of the sun and a partial eclipse of the moon take place, respectively, on August and IS, but both will be invisible in North America.
 Mercury all month Is an evenin4 star of about zero magnitude. It reaches maximum elongauon, N degrees east of the sun. on the 2oth but is less than 19 degrees above the horizon at sunset and not easy to see.

distance was determined, and one of the nearest ones in the northern hemisphere. Unlike most other stars we have mentioned, it's actual bril- liancy compared to our sun is in- significant, for it would require ten stars like 61 Cygni to equal the suns brightness. The conspicuous stars of the Cross, starting at the top of the long beam, are Alpha, Gamma, Eta, Pi, and Beta; the right arm is marked by Epsilon, and the left arm by Delta.
 Because the Milky Way passes through Cynus, the beauty of the constellation is enhanced, and many splendid fields provided for the opera glass. Between Alpha, Gamma and Delta is the great space in the Milky Way known as the Coal Sack. The darkness of the Goa! Sack is made all the more striking because of the fact that streams of tiny stars of remarkable richness and beauty lie between Alpha and Gamma. Cygnus is also full of nebulous clouds, some of which when photographed reveal most un- usual forms and textures. One of these is aptly called the Veil Ne bula, since its delicate streamers look like a loose knot of silky threads blown by the wind, with thousands of stars scattered in their midst.
 A0uila
 South of Cygnus and straight east of Serpens and Ophiuchus lies Aquila, the Eagle, also in the Milky Way. The most striking feature of this constellation, and one which makes 1t easily recognizable, is row of three bright stars. The most brilliant Is Altair, in the center, which indicates the Eagles neck. The star just north of Altair is Gamma Aquilae, marking the right wing of the Eagle as he fies east ward; the star just south of Altair is Beta Aquilae, which is in Aquila's head. Delta, to the southwest of Beta, is in the Eagles left wing, and Zeta, of to the northwest, indicates his tail. Beta, Gamma, and Delta form a rather conspicuous isosceles triangle-Delta Gamma and Delta Beta being the equal sides. Theta Aouilae is on a straight line with and below, Gamma. Alpha, and Beta. A little to the west and above Theta we find Eta Aquilae, the famous variable star.
 Five degrees east of Altair is To- cated the radiant point of the Auuilids, the meteor shower visible
