the first bell Of Tamil Mauriell0
the first round and to keep punch
ing until somebody drops.
There's an interesting story be-
hind Mauriello's rnurderous style Of
mayhem. Thought you might like to
know Of 1t, so here tbs:
For years now-flght fans have
suspected Mauriello's ring style was
due to strange fighting philosophy
that retreating is badge OF weak
ness. This isn't true. Tami Maui
relic moves forward constantly be-
cause Of an incident which took
place when he was a youngster :.
One afternoon Tami and his pals
we're in the street playing ball =
Mauriello's team was trailing when
he came to bat The pitcher
served the ball and Tami swung,
connecting sharply-The ball sailed
over the outfielder's head I. Tami
raced around the bases while the
outflelder retriever the ball and
heaved 1t to home plate 1t was
going to be close B. Then some
one yelled a warning but Tami,
unmindful, kept going i. He never
reached home plate. however be-
cause Of speeding truck. Within
a half hour, he was going on the
operating table And 1t was
necessary to remove part of his
heel After it was all over, the
doctor reported that Tami would
never be able to indulge in sports
again ;, He would always have
to use a crutch >. But the ply
sician overlooked one factor-Mau-
rieIlo's courage, and his love for
sports Sure, he hobbled on
a crutch for long time, but then
he discarded 1t -. Eventually, he
overcame his handicap enough to
try sports agairi-but he wasn't fest
enough for baseball, and his heel
couldn't stand the wear and tear
OF football He drtfted into
boxing where because Of his in
iured heel he developed this strange
method of attack-moving forward
all the time and never retreating
You see Tami Maurillo has to
stand on the forepart of his in
iured foot to keep his balance +.
But Tami has turned this handicap
into q ring style that has stood
him well through the years, for he
has developed into one at the lead
ing heavyweight contenders OF to-
day.

interdepartment championship Of
the United States Rubber Company

Although all members of the
winning team bowied well for q total
pin fall of 24l6 II was the sensa-
tional rolling Of jeanette Schleh
which was largely responsible fol
the victory. The Boot Toppers took
the first two games and had the

ship all within their grasp going
into the final box, when Miss
schleh came through with q double
strike to post q high score for the
afternoon Of 127, giving her team
the game by the narrow margin Of
one pin.
Winning the crucial third game
gave the Mountaineers renewed
vigor, and they went on to win the
final two games by wide margins.
Patricia Rex also bawled well for
the winners posting a 526 for the
five games. Nora Bressler was high
for the losers with q 52l.
The Mountaineers qualified for
the championship roll offs by de-
feating Rose Brenia's Gems last
week in a playoff for the Monday

Talmadge stands for. Such men
describe the profound sense Of de-
preston and Illustration which has
weighted on their movement since
the Talmadge victory. They say
that progressive and ambitious
young men are leaving Georgia in
droves rather than face "a future
of Talmadgism. Yet it is a serious
error, often made by non-Southern-
ers, to underestimate the strength
of the opposition to Talmadge and
Talmadgism in Georgia and
throughout the South. When Tai
madge becomes Governor, North
erners will be Increasingly inclin-
ed to think of Georgia and Tai
madge as Synonymous, forgetting
that in Ellis Arnall the citizens of
Georgia elected one of the best and
most progressive Governors in the
country, and that all qualified OBJ
servers are certain that if Arnall
could have run to succeed himself
he would easily have defeated Tai
madge.
That the South's Talmadges need
not always win is most clearly
demonstrated in Alabama. The po-
litical situation in that state de-
serves more detailed examination.

Yacht Club Opportunity

Progressive Wilmingtonians n

ably seeking to keep the beach resort

There are many ways in which this

them. But these must await the release

The club house is very comfortable.

Do 1t Gradually

There are probably all of a million
persons on government payrolls whose
services are not needed. The tremen-
dous increase in government employees
during the war when bureaus were set
up, as it would seem, chiefly to dup]i-
cate the work of others justifies such
a belief now that bureaus and agencies
are either being abolished or combined
on a greatly reduced scale.
The republicans who are framing a
program which contemplates substan-
tial tax reductions and balancing of the
budget propose, among other reforms,
the dismissal of a million government
employees. Welcome as such a method of
saving the taxpayers money would be,
it is to be hoped that they are not all

charge upon the public.

Credit Controls To Be Eased

In line with the policy to do away
with most wartime federal controls, the
Federal Reserve Board announces the
relaxation of credit controls, including
charge accounts and installment buy
ing on December l. This is not an un-
mixed blessing.
The hopeful aspect is that with the
people so used to getting along on a
nearly cash basis during and since the
wal they will not revert to the old prac-
tice of living on credit or mortgage
their future through extensive INSTALL
ment buying.
Too many homes have been broken
up, too many families scattered, in the
past by too easy credit, to view without
alarm the possibility of a return to the
habit now that controls are to be. eased
in two weeks as a preliminary to their
complete abandonment.
1t is much safer, to do without than
to be unable to pay when the bills come
in or installments are due.

The Pilgrim Mothers

Britain's new Ambassador, Lord In
v~ercastle. last week addressed the Pill
grims of the United States. His theme,
broadly put, was that the citizens OF
the world will stumble down the cen
turtles to an understanding of the uni
versal dignity of man and the liberty
of a free association. 1t is a good philo-
sophy which, in his belief, is based on
the achievement of the British Common
wealth. Even though there are dark
spots on British achievements, it is not
the purpose to question Lord >Inver-
castles conclusion.
Nor is interest presently centered in
the Pilgrims of the United States, which
parallels the Pilgrims of London, both
existing to entertain distinguished
statesmen of the other realm.
Interest is focused for the moment
on the Pilgrims of Plymouth whom we
usually refer to as the Pilgrim Fathers.
Their achievement was great too. But
in our zeal to give them credit we are
inclined to overlook the Pilgrim Moth
ers. Someone recently pointed out that
the Pilgrim Mothers had not only to
endure the hardships of life in an un-
known wilderness and Indian attacks,
but the Pilgrim Fathers as we'll.
The position is we'll taken, for all
that we have learned of the Fathers
~inclines up to believe they were we'll
nigh uncomfortable. Their wives must
have had greater patience than Job and
greater endurance than Jonah in the
whales tummy, to have stuck it out
under the intolerance and bigotry of
the Fathers.
We have good reason to be grateful
for the contribution the Pilgrim Fathers
made to u civilization, although it
took generations to outlive their Puri-
tanism. But it is time that we paid trib-
ute to the women Of their households.
References to Pilgrim achievements
ought in all reason henceforth to be ad-
dressed to the Pilgram Fathers and
Mothers jointly, not merely to the
Fathers alone.

Catherine Kennedy Home

The present Catherine Kennedy
Home which has served as a refuge for
aged women for half a century no longer
meets the need. It is not only lack
IN all modern conveniences and struc-
turally inadequate. It cannot accom-
modate all applicants.
These are some of the reasons the
Ladies Benevolent Society, sponsors of
the home, have decided to appeal to the
generous people of Wilmington to con-
tribute 100000 that a more commo-
dlous haven may be erected on prop
erty already purchased in the 23O0 block
on Market street.
The solicitation for gifts started this
morning and will continue through Sat-
urday. 1t is not to be a high-pressure
campaign like, for example, the war
bond drives, but everybody will be given
an opportunity to contribute.
In view of the splendid way in which
the home has functioned for so long
a time, and the need for expansion. it
is reasonable to assume there will be
a ready response to the call.
