Michigan Boy
Is Stopped in
Sixth Round
10000 Spectators
Watch New Yorker
Triumph EosiIy
BY WATSON SPOELSTRA

DETROIT, Jan. % - (P) -
Jake La Motta, solemn faced
New Yorker with stiff wallop
in either hand, held exclusive
membership rights today in the
Detroit Favorite Son Boxing
Club after devastating six
round technical knockout over
previously unbeaten Charley
Hayes.
Before 10000 spectators who
paid S21,7l2 for Michigans big
gest money fight in two years,
La Motta floored H ayes last
night at Olympia for the De-
troiter's first trip to the canvas
in five-year career and then
went on to hammer him into
helplessneSs. 1t was Hayes first
defeat in II pro starts.
Referee Elmer (Slim) Nc
Clelland n d e d the savage
battle at 2:57 of the round
with Hayes down in a neutral
corner and squirting blood
from a cash over his left eye.
There was no count, but in
the second round Hayes was
down for eight.
La Motta, h o d i ng a two
pound weight advantage at 100
pounds, previously gained two
decisions over Edgar, another
otherwise unbeaten graduate of
the amateur ring that sent Joe
Louis into big time.
WINNER GETS $4,000
Against a stronger and more
experienced foe, Hayes had lit
tie chance, although the referee
and two judges gave him the
fourth round after he had wealth
cred La Motta's furious assault
in the second. All the rest went
to La Motta, who didn't even
crack his dead pan when the
paymaster handed him $4,000.
Hayes, who soon is to begin
active duty as a naval aviation
cadet, drew $4,000, which will
sooth a lot of bruises he carried
out of the ring.
The only post-fight furry was
a mild protest from the Hayes
camp that the Detroiter had been
fouled before the second round
Touchdown, but this was over
ruled by the referee and Com
missioner John j. Hettche.
In his dressing room, La Mot
ia bore only slight discolora-
ton of the right eye. He was
exceedingly cheerful, but not
smiling.

Baseball's most valuable arm
disengaged from his pretty
bride. Robert William Andrew
Teller welded it with its custo-
mary rapidity in verbal broad
side for baseball.
The professional game should
continue, thinks Chief Boat
SWANS Mate Bob Teller, be-
cause other sports requiring
many more miles of transporta-
ton are OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and football, for examples.
Naturally, Teller intends to
hop right back into the harness
of the Cleveland Indians when
the war is won.
Only "a, the strikeout king is
mt worrying about his absence
from organized ball hurting his
arm. He pitched for the Norfolk
Naval Base team on an average
of every five days last summer.
Since then he has done moth
ing more athletic than toss
football around last fall, yet his
weight remains the same as it
was when he was setting major
league strikeout records-185
pounds.
Like all good Navy men, Eel
Ter omits saying where he is sta
toned at present, but he has
been aboard ship, and makes it
clear that ne gets plenty of ex-
ercise in the Navy without look
ing for it.
Rapid Robert asserts that
there wasn't much different in
pitching for the Norfolk Naval
Base and in the American
League. He did not have to bear
down as much in the service
games and worked in a fewer
number of them.
Teller won't tell how much it
cost him to spend last season In
Navy blue rather than Cleveland
white and gray, but remarks
that it cost the government S25,.
900 in income tax, which would
have put his salary near $45, 1000.
Intimating that young Lou
Boudreau's shortstopping might
become a little more conserva-
tive, Teller expresses the opin-
ion that managing the Indians
won't hurt him in the record
books.

Visitors Chalk Up
34-22 Court Win

Although bottling up Wyan-

ing center, Tom Mierkowicz.
Mount Clemens High School S
basketball forces couldn't bottle
up Mierkowicz' teammates and
as a result the Bathers dropped
another decision on the hard
wood at home last night.
While Bob White was holding
Mierkowicz to one field goal,
the big pivotman's teammates
found the hoop more or less con-
sistently to finish on the heavy
end of a 34-22 score.
The setback prolonged Mount
Clemens losing streak to four
games. The Bathers get another
chance to hake off their slump
when they entertain Hazel Park
on Tuesday.
White did masterful job
guarding Mierkowicz, who was
a thorn in the side Of last years
Bather quintet on two occasions.
Mierkowicz entered the game
midway in the opening quarter.
but didn't score a field goal un-
til early in the fourth. He finally
broke the ice by tipping in a
basket on a follow-up effort.
Meanwhile Joe Polonyck and
Bud Roberts found the range
consistently for the visitors, the
former tallying IA points to take
individual scoring honors. Ro-
berts contributed 10 points to
the Wyandotte cause.
Mount Clemens best marks
man was Forward Lyle Bliss
who counted nine points.
The Bathers held their own in
the first period, which ended
with the score tied at 6-6, but
Wyandotte was out in front as
the half arrived, 1873. They built
up a substantial adge in the third
quarter and more or less coast
cd through the fourth, resorting
mainly to defensive play.
In a preliminary game, Mount
Clemens reserves defeated New
Baltimore easily, 35-l5, as John
ny Johnson piled up IL points
and Bob Manning furnished 10.

THOUGHTS WHILE STROLLING
IT is QUITE AMUSING to watch
the maneuvers Of those persons
who try to give the impression that
they are doing something for the
people when all the while
one sees clearly that they are only
feathering their own nests.
JUDGING THE NEGRO RACE
by the "riff-raff" in the race is MOI
fair Size us up by the real men
and women we have and see il you
can't think differently about us.
THE RACE HAS NEVER
LACKED LEADERS but has ex-
perienced almost insurmountable
difficulties in attempting to sep
arate the leaders OF integrity and
understanding from the opposite
type.
IF THE NEGRO RACE Is ever
10 get anywhere by its own leader
ship, it must boost reliable, repu.
table and representative men and
women into places where such rep
resentation counts on the right side
Of the ledger.
THE NEGRO FEARS NO TEST
that may be reasonably and hon.
estly required Of him, along with
all others as condition precedent
20 his exercising the rights OF citi-
zenship. He only insists that this
test shall not be one over which
he has no control.
WHAT THE RACE WANTS Is
results: Freedom from segregation.
Acknowledgement and economic and
political intolerance. It matters
not whether these blessings of
liberty come from political selfish
ness or civic righteousness. II is
nor the motives we are concerned
about, but the fullness Of the re-
suits.
WE ADMIT THAT PUBLIC
OPINION Is no small thing to cope
with. but no man with the best
interest Of the community at heart
will remain on the fence to the
detriment OF the public. None can
remain there but towards. II takes
brave man to drop on the side
that he knows Is unpopulsr-even
though he knows it 70 be the right
side.
so LONG AS YOU can put cut
a new output and get absorbed in
it. you are young. And IL you
can do something that you could
not have done as well in earlier
years. you are growing old wisely.
