For Real Action
BY the Assoeiated Press.


SAN ANGELO. Tex, June a.
Bernard tTut) Bartzen, tennis mite
OF the West Texas plains, is going
East for the summer TO get live
competition.
Tut's opposition has been fur
nished mostly by wall. Bartzen
did pretty well with it, twice win
ming the Texas schoolboy champion
ship. but he likes something that1l
make him hustle.
Bartzen, ranked sixth nationally
in scholastic tennis and twelfth
among the juniors, has been doing
road work since February to get in
shape for seven Eastern tourna-
merts. Usually he runs q mile and
. quarter day.
His first stop Is Haverford, Pa, for
the national interscholastic cham
pionships Monday. Then he'll play
in the Efmofa junior at Elizabeth,
NJ j.: Westchester County champion
ships ut New Rochelle, N. r: East
ern championships ut Forest Hills,
N. Y: River Forest, Ill, Open;
Western championships 1T Milwau-
kee and the national junior 1t Kala-
mazoo, Mich.
San Angelo civic clubs raised funds
for the trip.
Bartzen. = left-hander, is 10 years
old, s feet 7 inches tall and weighs
ia pounds, six more than last year
when he won 10 of Is singles
matches and of doubles on m
Eastern tour.
Bartzen got strong competition
this spring from George Hichey, an
other left-hander here, until Richey
injured q shoulder, Then 1t was
back to the wall for Tut.
He thinks being . 1eft-hander
helps. There Is q certain mental
effect on my opponents" he ex-
planned.
Il make up for my lack of reach
by being fast on foot. I'm afraid II
I put on weight too quickly I would
not be so agile"

Williams Knockout
OF Shans Puts Him
On Fistic Heights
,y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 24.-The light
weight f1stic heights had a new boy
today-1ke Williams, slugging Negro
from Trenton, N. j.
The lanky lad punched his way
into the picture last night in Mad
ison Square Garden with a 10th
round technical knockout over Cleo
Shans, stubby, weaving battler from
Los Angeles. It was the first time
in 10 bouts that Shans failed to
finish.
Williams, at 1856, had a 1-pound
edge over his foe, along with de-
cided advantage in reach and height
Shans forced the fighting all the
way, trying to get in close where
he's . devastating hitter with each
hand, but Williams retreated and
counter punched his way to victory
1t was a mauling, bruising scrap all
the way.
The Jersey scrapper has lost only
one fight, to Bob Montgomery, who
holds the New York version of the
lightweight crown and who now Is
In the Army. Among Williams vic
Tins are Sammy Angott and Slugger
White.
Until the kayo, williams had taken
seven Of the nine rounds, Shans win
ming the third, and the fourth being
even. He had williams reeling In
the third, after pounding him on the
ropes, but williams weathered the
storm. In the ninth williams was
warned for tossing a low punch, and
for slugging after the bell, when he
had Shans hanging on the ropes.
Referee Billy Cavanagh didn't
even start q count when Shans went
down from q right to the jaw after
rs seconds in the 10th, but he could
have counted to plenty before Shans
regained consciousness.
Freddie Dawson, Chicago, 1877
FOUNDER, scored another impressive
win with 4 flrst-round technical
knockout over Joe Lemieux Of New
Bedford, Mass, while Tony Janiro
of Youngstown, Ohio, won his 18th
straight pro victory with . clean
cut six-round verdict over Tommy
Mills of Hampstead, Long Island.

No. |: The Answer...


We are producing more food than
ever before in history.
Despite shortcomings in manpowcr
and machinery and weather handicaps-
the American farmer is doing miracu-
lous job these days.
He broke the US. record in 1910
=. beat that in Al and beat that too
in AZ. For 1943 he's topping all
records again!
no. z: The Answer
Despite record food production, VIC
can't have all we want of what VIC
want for the simple reason that THE
DEMAND FOR OUR FOOD FAR En-
CEEDS THE SUPPLY. That greatly
increased demand has been created by
G) the needs Of food for direct war puf-
poses, (2) the tremendous boost in civil
ian purchasing power. &,
No. 3: The Answer
We American civilians are getting the
bulk of our total food production
actually 1896 of it for the next twelve
months! This is as much food as we
had in prewar years. The remainder is
divided this way: 1917 to the Army and
