Petro, winner by a shade over
the 10-round route in their first en-

was no f1uke by going an extra
round tomorrow night. Actually. 1t
should be a six-rounder, because
after they passed that point in their

Virgin says he'll center his attack

weakness too late to do much about

follows this plan Petro will have
both hands full trying to stay the
distance, much less winning the
decision.
Petro's supporters, however, claim
Mr.. Virgin won't be around longer
than two or three rounds this time.
They have an idea Danny will slip
him a sleeping pill early in the
fight and get it over in a hurry
Petro, they contend, was not in the
best physical condition for the first
match, but is in the pink this time
and that will be the difference be-
tween victory and defeat.
From the press bench it shapes up
as a win for Virgin, probably by
knockout. if he succeeds in getting
to Petro's midsection. Virgin is
too clever for Danny and although
the first fight produced a lot of fire.

A bill recently introduced in Con-
gress would classify dogs as live
stock and bring them under the wing
OF the Bureau of Animal Industry
or Husbandry. The ostensible rea-
son is to get a uniform action
throughout the country in the con-
troll of rabies. However, the ram
iflcations of dog breeding, import
ing, training, its many uses for hunt
ing, herding, pets, etc. make such
a bill impractical. For instance, to
classify dogs as livestock would
mean that it would be illegal to
keep pet dogs in most large cities.
