More Good Ring Cards
Pledged al Turner S;
Crawford Wins by M

Even though Uline Arena has been
withdrawn from boxing, which
hayes Liberty A. G. without . place
to stage fights, members OF the Dis
trict Boxing Commission see no
lessening Of interest in boxing here.
Turner's Arena has q monopoly on
indoor sessions now, but Match
maker Gabe Menendez promises
that even without the pressure Of
competition, he's going to stage the
best fights possible at the arena.
'We1l see to 1t that he does It,
too." added Thomas p Morgan,
member of the commission, last
night as Menendoz's first show Of
the winter season. providing no
champs, but plenty Of action most

turnout of 1,056 paying customers,
a figure that should increase If that
type Of action continues.
Boycott Hurt Game.
''In way it was good thing that
Uline's sclosed," continued Morgan.
There's no denying that Negro boy
colt of, Uline's, which was fairly
effective, hurt the game. A good
percentage Of the fighters and fans
are colored, and 1t hurt all around
when they stayed away. Turner'S
won't continue as the only place
having indoor shows. The Armory
probably will be available for sport
ing events before long. and that
new arena going up at Seventeenth

In another year and thereu probably

Heavyweight Jackie Crawford stop
ping Ross Strickland Of New York
: in the 10th, and Jimmy McGriff,
welter. taking a unanimous l0-round
verdict over Eddie Alzek, also a
Gothamite.
Crawford had to stage q real
comeback to win over Strickland,
who chilled him In one round previ-
ously, and had trouble with the
visitors switch attack all through
the early rounds. Jackie, down for
no count in the second and with q
cut over his right eye, didn't get
even until the seventh, but his whirl-
wind assault In the next two gave
him a good lead to carry into the
final.
Crawford Pours It On.
Crawford could have coasted home
as he had anywhere from an to,
Is point margin on all three officials
score sheets, but it appeared closer
than that and he poured it on
Strickland. A right under the heart
put the latter down for four, and
he was unable to defend himself
thereafter. Jackie battered him
into q corner and Referee Charley
Reynolds stopped the fight.
The other main event was strictly
McGrifi pitching and Azek catching
with . granite Jaw. Alexis prin-
cipal interest was to be there ct
the finish and he barely made it.
There were two other kayoes On
the card, Stonewall Jackson, District
lightweight, stopping AL Wilks in
1:42 OF the third after knocking his
opponent out of the ring, and George
Brooks, Washington middleweight,
taking TKO over Lou Bass, also
a local boy, in 2:18 Of the fifth. A
bad cash over Bass left eye did the
trick as Lou had the edge on all
official score cards until that point.
Jimmy Robinson edged Emmett
Harris in the four-round welter-
weight opener.

Dewitt School Is pinning its foot
ball hopes this season on 4-pound
cocker spaniel named Ginny and
240-pound tackles such as Bill Thrift
Thrift represents the weight and
power noticeable in all departments
of the squad and Coach Len Askin
Is hoping that Ginny in her role OF
mascot will supply the lucky in
fiuence that most observers feel the
team will need.
For it's an enigmatic outfit. There's
plenty of beef and Drawn as well as
experience in the lineup. but with
the season opener against Woodrow
Wilson High Of Portsmouth, Va, only
three days away. the eleven has not
begun to click as unit.
There was that scrimmage with
Bulls, for instance. According to
Bulls adherents, Dewitt hasn't hit
its potential form yet, but If you
listen to Dewitt supporters, naturally
you hear just the contrary. Actually,
neither eleven has learned to work
as unit.
Dewitt, like Bulls, is an all-star
club Of ex-high school and prep aces
and with colder weather, more expe-
fence working together plus the
tutoring Of Coach Askin, Dewitt
should burn up the circuit.
Because Dewitt this year probably
has the top collection Of talent in its
history. The backfield alone is q
coach's dream. Gene Taylor, who
last season lifted Wilson High from
the status Of the tail-end club in the
interhigh league and sparked the
Tigers into the championship game
with Eastern, will work at left halt.
The other gallopers are equally
talented. Eddie De Celle will hold

his efforts he was named president
of the league, with Jack Ragan Of
the Patton Post as secretary and

Around Eastern High, Munro is

Coach Askin predicts great
career for the experienced husky.
Jack Doffort, Coolidge Highs out
standing fullback of last season,
has been shifted into the quarter
back slot. Askin discovered that
Doffort had q talent for the T and
decided he was wasted at fullback.
And then there is Dixie La
Coyey, q veteran of last years
Dewitt team, who starred on the
all-star team In the Griffith Sta
dium scholastic classic. Add Johnny
Gardner and Phil Manzon, who
will be employed as wingbacks, and
it will be seen that Dewitt has
ample backf1eld material.
But in the line is Devitt's par
ticular strength. Making up the
forward wall are such stalwarts as
Ray Krouse, all-high tackle at
Western In 1874: Sheldon Orem-
land, all-high at Roosevelt in
1913 and all-prep at Dewitt in 1914;
Tinmy Moeller. who made a Vir-

During early fall We stand an
excellent chance of experiencing
hot and muggy days, when we
won't feel much in the humor for
hearty, or even hot food.
While they're still here in abund-
ance, use lots of crisp greens to
help your family feel less wilted.
The way you handle those greens
will have a lot to do with how
crisp they are, whether they come
straight from your own garden or
from a market stand.
AS soon as you bring greens
home from market wash them,
running cold water through the
leaves gently to remove all posi-
BILE dirt, and cutting off any pos
sibly brown or tired bits of green.
Now, most important of all, dry
the greens thoroughly. The idea,
way in which to do this is in a
string bag, but they're still hard
to get. If you eve buy potatoes
in a small sack you have there an
ideal drainer for lettuce or other
greens. Boil the sack SO you know
it's perfectly clean. Then when
your greens r clean, put them
into it and hang the bag up to
drain.
When greens are entirel y
drained Git takes at least a half
hour put them, wei covered,
into the refrigerator for at least
an hour, preferably longer. What
comes out will be the beautifully
crisp greens which inspire appe-
tite, even on sultry days.
