California Weather Lore

WHEN THE FASTENER goes
to California he should forget the
weather lore by which he has regu-
lated his eastern activities. 1t is
meaningless on the west coast. The
sun setting clear at night is not a
guarantee of clear skies tomorrow.
Blue sky, sufficient to make sailor
a pair of pants, does not mean it
will stop raining, once it has
started. 1t may be pouring again in
a few minutes. When it starts rain
ing before 7, there is no assurance
it will stop before II.

boxing history. 1t includes Jack
Dempsey, the nonpareil, from 1888
to 1895. After that we find such
names as Bob Fitzsimmons, Tom
my Ryan, Kid Mccoy, Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien. Stanley Ketchel,
Billy Papke. Frank Klaus, Harry
Greb, Tiger Flowers and Mickey
Walker.
Here you find many of the three
starred names Of ring history.
These men have written chapters
that never will be forgotten by
those who follow the leather throw
ers. Dempsey - Fitzsimmons -
Mccoy - Ectchel - Greb - Walk
err; slip us six greater names from
the ropedin sector of sport.
No one can yet class Zale or
Graziano with the six leaders we
have named. We doubt that either
belongs with these six masters, al
though Dempsey is well beyond our
day and time. But the old-timers of
other years have told us he belongs
around the top. Certainly no one
can argue the worth of Fitzsim-
mons, Mccoy, Ketchel, Greb and
Walker. They also could handle
heavyweights, especially Ruby
Robert, one of the great fighters of
all time, boxer and terrific
puncher with middleweight legs
and a heavyweight body, still a
great fighter at the age of As.
Best Since Walker
We doubt very much that Zale or
Graziano would have any great
amount of luck against those men,
toned above. But the two, Zale and
Graziano, are big improvement
over those who have come along
since the Toy Bulldog, meaning
Mickey Walker. traded his boxing
gloves for an artists brush.
Zale and Graziano proved this
part of the argument in a meeting
that had even more action than the
stars Of the past ever turned in.
MclOdrama may not mean skill or
class. But it happens to be some
thing the public likes to see. when
it is ably handled.
In 1889, the middleweight stew
included a weird mixture under
the names of Solly Kreiger, Al Hos
tax and Ceferino Garcia. They were
merely fillers-in.
In 1910, Zale arrived as the
MIA crown holder. Tony has been
wearing the middleweight crown
ever since, including a long war
lapse from 1941 up through 1915.
While Zale was in war service a
young, hard punching roughneck by
the name of Graziano came along
like a Midwestern tornado. Grail
anO was blessed with one great ring
asset. He could punch. He was
never any too smart and he was
never much Of a boxer. He was
never particular about observing
any rules, as he proved in his meet
ing with Marty Servo, whom he
fouled and almost wrecked.
In way Graziano was something
a softened-up ring needed. He was
rough, tough, braggart, but after
all fighter and a puncher He was
also crowd pleaser, and a valu-
able entry at the gate.
Rocky had built up a bigger part
of his reputation at wrecking oppo-
nents who were badly outweighed.
He wasn't so hot when it came to
a matter of pound for pound.

State legislature
passes witch-hunt
and anti -AYD bills

SPRINGFIELD-Despite the
last-minute rush before adj
journment, the state legislature
this week managed to find time
to order a special witch-hunt
of progressives in Illinois by
passing the Broyles bill for the
investigation of "un-American
and subversive" groups in the
state.
In addition to the 'Little
Dies" measure, the General As
sembly passed the Clabaugh bill
to deny facilities at the Uni
versity of Illinois to ''seditious
groups" The bill, admittedly
aimed at the American Youth
for Democracy, has been at
tackled by educational leaders
as threat to academic free
dom and an attempt to impose
thought control on students and
teachers.

progress in securing both of these
needs.
In the interim, I venture to sug-
eest, that the hospital facilities al
the Jail be made available for pa.
tients apparently under the infiu.
ence of alcohol, who could there be
housed as completely as in the psy.
chopathic ward.
Personally I feel that an un-
justified emotionalism is besettine
this problem. Obviously persons un-
der the influence of alcohol are to
be regarded as persons in need OF
attention. However, to admit them
to hospital wards, I feel, is a matter
of medical judgment"
He pointed out that long-standing
rules of the hospital declare that
"the physical condition of the pa
tient shall determine the admission
of the patient to the hospital"
What I mean," he explained, SIS
that we have not and, therefore,
cannot offer facilities for the person
who is drunk to sleep it off at GAL
