NEW YORK. May 1O-UH-They

NEW YORK, May 10-UH-They
said it was impossible-but George
Duelter was alive tonight.
Yesterday, an eight-inch steel
rod entered Duelfer's head and
passed completely through MS
brain. 1t pierced the frontal looe
and stopped at the angle Of the
jaw.
Tonight. he not only was stu
living but was given an excellent
chance to recover.
What happened in between was
. combination of luck and a mira
Gle Of surgery that will have doc
tors talking for a long, long time
even in the case-hardened pre-
cincts of New York's famous Bel
levue hospital.
Duelfer. 22-year-o d veteran OF
the Coast Guard, was loading a
truck yesterday when he groaneo
ard fell 10 the sidewalk. From his
head stuck a long section Of 5-l0th
thick steel Welding rod which had
fallen from a nearby window.
Luck favored Duelfer the first
time when police of an emergency
SQUAD. fearing to move the rod
got out a bolt cutter and shipped
off the 35-inch long steel rod close
to his skull.
It was Just luck, too. that DR..
J. Lawrence Pool was at Bellevue
hospital when Duelfer was brought
there and an emergency call went
out for a brain surgeon. Pool. a
member of the hospitals visiting
staff. is an eminent neurological
surgeon.
Poo hurried to the operating
room with DR.. John Stone Hooley,
resident surgeon. That's when
luck gave way to surgical skill
n when the wonder operation
began.
For four and half ticklish hours,
with death peering over their
shoulders every minute, the sur
seons worked with def hands to
take the rod out of Duelfer's BRAN.
First, they cut a "WindoW IN
the skull at the temple, not only
to relieve pressure but also to en-
able them to see the rod as Ii
was being removed. They knew
only too well that almost as much
damage could be done drawing
the piece of steel from the wound
as was caused by its entry.
BIT by bit, ever SO slowly the
roc was pulled out. Every now

IL, UAW-C1O, boxed and
slugged their way to the
championships in their re-
spective divisions with clear.cut,
unanimous judges decisions
over their opponents.
King, who has been fighting
only a few months since his dis
charge from the United States
Navy, jabbed and punched his
opponent, Stanley Zak of the
Y. M. c. A., in three rounds of
clever ring generalship to win
the decision of the judges by
wide margain. After building up
a big lead in the first twQ,
rounds, King was still piling W
points in the last stanza as Zak,k
already outclassed, was swing.
ing wildly trying for a knockout
punch. But King was too clever
for Zak and the K. o, smash did
not land on the Local IL fighter.
In the Golden Gloves semi.
final matches, King defeated
Kenneth Aldrich, who was
awarded the John Mccarthy
Memorial Trophy, in a whirl.
wind match which had the fans
bowling and cheering Justify.
Art Rae, popular young
heavyweight boxer of the Local
IL Athletic Club, took every
round from Elmer Scallish in
the final Golden Gloves bout to
win the championship. Although
outweighed by % pounds, Rae
landed several hard smashes II
the jaw of his rugged opponent
and had him on the verge of col.
lapse on at least two occasions.
Scallish's best blows were
those which landed on Rae's
gloves and arms during the In.
fighting.
The judges voted unanimously
to award the decision to Rae,
and after the fights, it was said
by many of those at the ring
side that Scallish landed very
few, IL any, solid punches on the
Union battler.
On Sunday, King and Rae,
with Red Mcdonald, the Local
IL coach, will journey to Chicago
where they will compete in the
Golden Gloves tournament In
that city. The tournament will
