Cilinski Keeps Crown
In Wild Golden Gloves
Bout With Hamburg

Pete Cilinski, 135-pound Alexan.
dria youngster, retains his rating as
the best amateur welterweight in
these parts, but only after a terrific
battle against Ray Hamburg of thu
Merrick Club in one of the feature
bouts of last nights Golden Gloves
tournament finals at Turner's Arena.
Both boys threw science out the
window and pounded away at each
other from bell to bell for three
rounds. Cilinski's triumph in de-
tense of his championship aided the
st. Mary's Club in retaining the
senior team title it won last year.
The Alexandrians scored As points
to the Is registered by Washington
Boys Club. Apollo A. c. was third
with 20.
Merrick captured novice team
honors with Is points while five
other clubs were tied for second
with Is points.
Lew Pavone, another st. Mary's
boy, also retained his title by out
pointing Nick Mancini of Washing
ton Boys Club in the 160-pound
final, but this decision was not &C
cepted fundamentally by the over
flow crowd of close to 5000.
Stealing the show even from the
speedy Cilinski-Hanbury bout was
the novice 147-pound final between
Sailor Cliff Hart of Pete's A. c.
and Marine Blackie Annisi of Guam
tico. A left hook foored Hart for
a nine count in the first round, but
the Sailor came back to take the de-
cision after drawing blood from
Annisi's nose in the second session.
-Four technical knockouts and two
real kayoeS spiced the fast card.

Alcoholics Anonymous

In this endeavor / am convinced
that the work of Alcoholics Anon
ymous is far more hopeful and
productive of results than all the
white ribbon crusaders can ever
be. There are about 325 groups of
Alcoholics Anonymous in different
communities in the United States
and Canada, numbering about
$4,000 men and women who were
former chronic alcoholics. The
oldest members have been con-
tinuously sober for eight to ten
years. Their record in retaining
others is: of those sincerely will
ing to stop drinking 500 have
done so at once, $3.50 after a few
relapses, and most of the remain
der have improved.
Their treatment draws on the
resources of medicine, psychiatry,
religion and their own experiences
of drinking and recovery. The last
is their great natural advantage.
How often do doctors and clergy
men throw up their hands when
after exhaustive exhortation the
alchoholic says-"But you don't
understand me. You never did any
serious drinking yourself, so how
can you ?"
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1944-07-19

for instance, is emphatically not
the answer. Let US never have that
horror again. They used to say
that prohibition would stop crime.
To anyone who passed through the
orgy Of crime during prohibition
that is laugh.
The psychology Of prohibition is
all wrong. The alcoholic, and in
deed every American, reacts in a
very contrary way to taking some
thing away from him. II puts him
on his mettle to get some Of it
anyway. If you can persuade him
into the undesirableness of it he
, will let it alone, as he does MUIR
der ard theft and embezzlement
and evading the income tax, or the
draft.
The treatment of chronic alco-
holism is a medical problem or,
perhaps strictly speaking, a psy-
chologic problem and as such an
individual problem, and as such an
infinitely troublesome and pains
taking task.
