United EreSS StaIL NOEEesPV,~S
 New York, Sept. IS. (UP)-Jacobss Beach is tremendously interested in international affairs. This was impressed upon us last night at Madison Square Garden where we arrived from Europe just in time to sit in on the fourth round or the alleged -Bartfield fight.
 After the abbreviated bout, the first guy we bumped into was Al We'll. a rotund fight manager whose ever-persent sidearm IS a smouldering stogie
 "Where you been latelyP" asked We'll, affording us a maoe-Vo- order opening.
 "All over Europe" we said. "Just got back from a l7000-mile tour that included about 100 hours ol flying and" It, .,u,,t time" interrupted We'll. you nv 1t right on the nose-because Marty Servo is out"
 "Out of what?"
 "Out of the Coast Guard Of course, Been in four years; got out a week ago." .o,d nyUss afraid we might be stuck In ,s EuIIpe d,,}pe a long time. There's a pig pacNaoS ot of boys over there trying Io sev e,, home. We had to come around pS Casablanca, the Azores, Bermuo"' N Yeah you were lucky to get back" we'll cut in. "And you you co,,ldn'ta timed 1t better because Servo has just started training at Orange Lake, N. Y. In a coupia months he'll be ready for any Wel, I, tnrweight in the business. He II tackle any of them and beat them
 -sugar Robinson, Rocky GraMaho' Iohnnv Greco and the rest" ',
 "servol Servo!" we muVtereu. o''r somewhat miffed at having .S1i1 our tales of Europe road-b!ocKeo: W. we remember him. Used to be a pfeiiih- inary boy before the war
 "Preliminary boy!" believed We'll. You musta left your memory in Europe. Lissen-Servo was tne o,,tstanding welterweight when ne joined the Coast Guard. Remem, ber-he fought Robinson twicet anu aIi lost split decisions both times. III admit Marty lost the first bout n II, philadelphia by an eyelash; put e ne was robbed of the decision ID tne second bout at New York. Hell prove 1t when he fights Ropinson again-and we want EooiaSoi first" 1oA
 Why was Servo demanding Rob- inson instead of welterweisht cham nion Freddie Cochrane? Accordine to We'll, any grammar school kle should know the answers to Una, one, First Servo would draw more money with Robinson, and second If he beat Robinson he could force Cochrane into a title fight.
 Pilot We'll surprised us by inquir' ing "what's the situation In Eu' roper" We told him things were iI terrible shape-cities all shot up people starving, no fuel ana piacF markets everywhere. "No-I didn't mean that" he hur' riedly explained. T mearl-are there any good welterweights over there| we replied that we had heard O none although we had visited Eng land, France, Germany, Italy anS North Africa during the greates sports tour in 4, "Too badI" declared roly-poly Al I'm always lookin' for good boys Say, you just gotta come up to cam and watch Servo train. He look now, More mae-tured, y'know."

games were run at a loss. The score card and donations which were re- ceived were used to purchase uni. forms and playing equipment. The attendance at games barely covered the cost of running the games. However, the few people who did attend were well repaid for their attendance as some very fine ex- hibitions were staged. The man. agement hopes that all the former players who are now in the service will have returned by next season so that an all-local team can be fielded and this no doubt will create more interest and attendance at games.

A local furniture store was held responsible today by Common Pleas Court Judge John T. Cullinan for Illegal conversion by an employe of three valuable rugs belonging to Q customer.
 The store, the Waterbury Furni- Rure. CO, Inc. was ordered to pay eI 900 damages to Laura MacDermid of Plymouth, who claimed an em- ploye, William Cammher, had re- Imoved the rugs from her home un- der the pretense he would have khenn cleaned and then would resell lkhem. The owner, in her civil action, etated the rugs were never turned 10 her and she was not paid for khem.
 The rugs, one of them an orien- Aal, were given to the employe in lgeptember and October, l943, after Ane owner telephoned the company Ao send 8 representative to her home, according to testimony in the mrial conducted during the winter

When Joseph A. Corr of 9 Yates avenue died a short time ago, his death brought back to some of us, his young days as an acrobat, and his persistency in the art that afterwards proved so suc- cessful in his tour of this country, as well as some of the European nations. In his youth he had the build and endurance of one en- dowed with considerable strength and fortitude, and this was man. ifest to all who had the oppor- tunity of seeing him in his acts of daring and skill ol. the tumbling bar. Fearless and studious, he lis- tened carefully to the words of his instructors, and followed their ad- vice and guidance until convinced he was able to perform and do the trick expected of him. Chances, he took many, but never so far as is

term. The plaintiff claimed she asked the concern to sell the rugs as the result of an advertisement in which the furniture store announced such service.
 Judge Cullinan in his memoran- dum points out the question in the case was whether or not the employe acting as an agent of the defendant or as an independent broker on the date of the conversion.
 It is pointe dout the employe left the furniture concerns employment shortly after the rugs were taken, and that his employment was term mated under a cloud for suspected embezzlement of the stores money and merchandise.
 Judge Culinan points out Camm- her gave the plaintiff 6 receipt for the rugs and inserted the stores telephone number on 1t. It is also pointed out the representative went 10 the plaintiffs home in response to a call at the store.
 The customers loss was occaSioned because of employment of the un- trustworthy worker, because of the concerns failure to investigate his background, because the firm per- mitted the employe to be available for important telephone transac- actions and because it permitted him to call on customers, the memoran- dunn states.
 Housewives are accustomed to telephone firms to send representa- tiveS and the public is entitled to rely on these representatives as hav- ing authority to complete trans actions, the decision states. Such procedure is essential to operation of business houses, the jurist points out.
 The store owner claimed the em- ploye was store clerk and his was limited to sales in the store. It was claimed by the defense the clerk acted as a private agent when he called at the Ply mouth home.
 Judge Cullinan awarded damages of $70O for the Chinese oriental rug and $50 for each of the two other rugs described as broadlooms, and ruled the plaintiff may recover court costs.
