Diabeiic TaIbef Is Busy
Aiding Ailing Aussies
BY the Assoeioisd Press

MELBOURNE, Dec. 10-Since
the Australian public has learned
that Billy Talbert is a diabetic
and Is forced to take daily in
sulin shots, the American Davis
Cup player has been besieged for
advice.
Parents of diabetic children
have written him and appeared
at his hotel to hear him answer
the question how he manages to
play such q strenuous game as
tennis.
He has answered each letter.
and today he had long talk
with the mother Of q child af-
fiicted with the disease. He ad-
vises that hard, Constant exer-
else is Of great assistance in
counteracting effects Of the
malady.
Only once in the course Of q
match has he felt q diabetic
coma coming on, and then he
quickly pulled himself together
by eating q piece of sugar. He
has had diabetes for l8 years. j

Ing trip by size of the bag. We had
one perfect day.
We saw few mallards and black
ducks, which didn't even deign to
look over our blocks, and several
large flights of blackheads trading
down the bay. But the golden-eyes,
or whistlers as they are commonly
called, were plentiful and came in
to our stool OF decoys freely. We
were too trigger-happy. or we'd
have had more Of them.
Coming home on the ferry from
Mattapeake, we ran into many
hunters and had nice talks with
several. One had been down on the
Wye River in q blind all day and
hadn't seen duck or fired his gun.
We got conflicting opinions as to the
duck population. We saw as many
ducks as we'd hoped to see. The
other fellows who had had no sue
cess would tell you there just aren't
any ducks this year. For one of
these men, this was the fourth trip
without firing a shot. The truth
lies In the weather we've been hav-

and our wild waterfowl are scattered
all over the bay and not up in the

Winning Hockey Lions
Now Title Favorifes

After two years at the bottom of
the Eastern Hockey League which
followed two seasons of the same
in the American League, the Wash
ington Lions finally and definitely
are out of that rut. They're in a
first-place tie with Baltimore and
showing signs of pulling away. It's
long way to the end, but right now
the Lions would have 70 be tagged
as favorites to finish on top.
That particularly is true In view
of Baltimore's slump. The Clippers
have dropped four in a row, having
been beaten by Washington. 5-1, last
Sunday, and Manager Bill Fischer
there is planning to reshufde the
lineup. He announces that at least
four players will be dropped and
some new faces will be around when
the Clippers invade Washington
Friday night. Washington fans who
stuck with the Lions last year when
they were "bolstered" practically
every week with additional players
know that too much of that re-
shutting is no good.
Jack Riley, Washington coach who
handled Baltimore's fortunes last
season, naturally is happy over the
way his Lions are performing, but
he's by no means overconf1dent. II
said before the season that we had
a good club, and that still goes. But
so do the others. Baltimore was
good enough to extend us all the
way Sunday until we got those two
quick goals. Also New York is only
1 point behind us, and the Boston
Olympics don't figure to keep on
losing with Red Henry in the goal"
The Lions have chance to pull
out into undisputed possession Of
first place tonight If they beat or
tie the quebec Aces in a match at
Uline Arena. Game time is $50.
The Aces and the Lions played q IL
deadlock during Washington's earlier
swing through Canada. They're
from the Montreal Senior League,
same as the Montreal Royals who
the Lions last week and
then went on to win twice over the
Clippers.

McGrif Is Tk0 Vicfor:
Over Wiser Bennett,
Decked Five Times

Charley Bennett, tired and beat
up, sat on the rubbing table while
Manager Billy Banks wiped OF the
perspiration and resin dust Charley
had picked up in II rounds Of bat
tling against Jimmy McGriff last
night at Turner's Arena. Victim Of
. Sl2-round technical Knockout,
Charley was in i mood to be philo-
sophicl about the fight business.
AS Is, usual In the losers dressing
room, only one friend had come In
to tell Charley he hadn't diSgraced
himself, The big crowd OF hangers
on was In Jimmy's quarters, slap
ping him on the back and generally
passing out the plaudits.
'.They tell me you either got to be
crazy or else love the game to be
In this fight business, and ! guess
they're right, remarked Bennett.
IT don't mind admitting I'm ~ years
old; that's old enough to know bet
ter, don't think I'm crazy. I guess
! just like to fight.
II know I'm crazy to take q 20
round fight against guy younger
and stronger and heavier than I am.
You can't outlook anybody for that
long. They're going to catch up
with you sooner or later, and he
Just caught up with me-"
That's just about what happened
In the scheduled 20-rolmder at
Turner's last night. McGrid chased
Bennett most of the time and final
" caught up with him. The two
District colored welterweights put
on a good battle. Bennett stepping
back, jabbing and tying up his op-
ponent, while McGriff kept wading
in and failing away. He missed a
lot, but he connected, too. and he
connected enough to floor Bennett
five times. Referee Charley Rey-
nolds stopped it at the start of the
18th.
McGriff's left hooks and right
crosses twice put Bennett down in
the early going, once for eight In
the second round and for nine in
the fourth. Charley staged come
back for awhile after that, keeping
away and picking his spots for left
jabs and counters. In the 18th,
however. a solid right uppercut
again floored Bennett for nine. He
barely managed to regain his feet,
and from sheer exhaustion fell to
the floor again for no count. He
was up and danced away, only to
hit the deck again when struck a
glancing blow on the shoulder. He
was up at eight, staggering, and was
saved further punishment by the
bell.
He was In no shape to continue,
though, and Referee Reynolds wisely
stopped it. McGriff weighed las
and Bennett 140. A crowd of 1921
paid gross gate of $2,91138 and

The 20-year-old Philadelphia flstic
sensation unleashed q barrage Of
body blows last night to knock out
Shelton Bell Of Youngstown, Ohio,
at 1851 of the fifth round Of their
scheduled hereunder at the arena.
Bell Taken to Hospital.
Bell, who had been down three
times in the third round from head
blows, was in acute pain on reach
ing his dressing room and was taken
to Presbyterian Hospital, where an
examination indicated he had suf-
fered severe bruises of the stomach
and ribs.
Huskier than ever before on fight
day, Fox actually was heavyweight
at 176 pounds, and was slower than
usual, probably as a result Of his
weight.
He was sluggish in the early min
utes, got to cunning in the second
period and gained punch control
but missed with haymakers and
took punches more agile defense
might have avoided.
A crowd Of $3.50 paid $l7,976 tc
watch the Fox, who keeps shunlins
in a manner reminiscent Of Joe
Louis style, stumble through first
round in which Bell. who scaled 173
danced in and out Of close quarters
with sniping jabs.

But Fox kept moving in and stag
gered the Ohioan with right to the
jaw in the second.
From then on in, Fox pounded his
foe relentlesSly, sending him to the
canvas for nine count twice in the
third round. He flattened him Z
third time, but the bell rang after
two seconds.
Fox ran into q streak Of wildness
in the fourth stanZa, which saved
Bell for another round. But in the
fifth, Billy went after his foe with
murderous body blows. finally send
ing Bell down for keeps with Q
vicious left to the stomach.
