PoIitness Loses
Fight for Zurito
Ry JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, April l. CUP)-It
doesn't pay to be polite in the
ring. Juan Zurita of Mexico City
discovered this Friday night in his
bout with that brown ruffian, Beau
Jack.
Zurita, who is recognized as light
weight champion by the National
Boxing association, went in for eti-
uuette in the fifth round of his
non-title brawl with broWn-Skinned
Beau Jack Midway in this session
Beau Jack was backed into the
ropes with such vigor that his head
bobbed through the top strand and
was caught there.
SPORTSMANSHIP GESTURE
Instead of trying to belt Beau
out onto the ring apron, swarthy,
dark-haired Zurita stepped back
and permitted Jack to eXtricate
himself Then Zurita raised his
gloves to press them against the
gloves of Beau Jack in the tradi-
tional gesture of craftsmanship
when one opponent has refused to
take unfair advantage of another
CIllOI Iulldlcly, IlO"CfC4, oNoo
Jacks gloves were not there to
meet Zurita's appraised mitts. In
stead, Beau sank a right shovel
hook into Zuritas belly that almost
buckled the lad from below the
Rio Grande. And quicker than you
could say "a dirty trick, Beau
followed this blow with a barrage
of smashes to the body that drove
Zurita across the ring to the op-
posite ropes.
ZURITA WAS PUNISHED
In that march across the ring,
Zurita suffered body punishment
that apparently slowed him to a
walk. When Beau Jack took ad-
vantage of Zurita's gesture of po-
liteness-of sportsmanship - they
had been fighting on even terms,
according to the United Press score
sheet. Each had won two rounds.
After that, the Mexican champ
faded until he began to recover
gradually in the eighth, and ninth.
And Juan was really rolling in the
10th, which ne won by wide mar
gin.
Jack won the decision.

there is no doubt that underneath
that pastoral countenance Rev.
Sears was more than elated HIM
self.
NOT ENOUGH HELP
Between Rev. Sears and Henry
coaching the kids on how to play
their positions, and yelling Hey,
get those bats back off the bn5e
linesl" Sears said the chamber OF
commerce had come through With
some bats and balls for the young
sters and that he also receives
some help from other citizens at
times. Chief Corn Reed OCCASION
ally lends hand when the Rev.
erend is unable to be on hand. But
they never fail to have crowd.
THIRTY TO SIXTY BOYS
Friday there were thirty boys at
the stadium, and those that were
not playing were either being sup
ported CT being hooted at by those
on the sidelines and a grand
time was had by all -. as many
as sixty boys have turned out, Sears
said.
Comprising the teams on the field
when we hove into view, side-step-
ping running kids, and warm-up
pitches by those not playing, were
these erstwhile sand-lot artists.

Nearly dozen kids were from

SEARS AND REED PIONEERS
The program of twice-a-week
play was pioneered last year by the
Rev. Sears and Chief Reed. 1t
doesn't take a let of watching to
pick out those boys who played last
wear and those who are playing
this year for the first time. AS
far as infield chatter goes, and the
usual team bantering, you couldn't
tell a vet from fledgling, except
Richard Henry who managed to
rag his team plenty.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
But Rev. Sears doesn't want to
be a pioneer. He would like to be
Joined by some of those dads or
big brothers who have net only
the pioneer spirit but possibly also
imbued with a zest for fun. These
volunteers could coach these kids
on playing positions, they could
umpire. they could assist in innum-
cradle ways. Surely an hour and
a half from p. m. to $50 wouldn't
be asking too much time. Ger
tainly there are more men inter-
ested in the Wholesome activity OF
helping kids. How about pulling
that OF mitt off the shelf and conf
ing out next Tuesday and Friday
to give wartime encouragement to
Young America?
ALL KIDS INVITED
All kids of grammar school age
are invited to play . but thirty
to sixty kids is asking a lot of
one or two men it would be
easier for a half dozen or dozen
men it might even trim a few
waistlines of those over-age (for
the draft kids. What do you say
we meet at the stadium next Tues
day kids and dads?

five seasons as coach of the San

brough the sweater with him when
he came to Pullman from San
Francisco in 1926.
Just briefly, that record reached
its peak in 1925 when his Olympics
won II straight, including a tri-
umph which broke CALIFORNIA; five
year run of As successive wins, and
again in 1880 when his rose bowl
bound starers finished atop the
league. The Cougars under his
