BARE KNUCKLES

BARE KNUCKLES
 There, had not the Sullivan spell blinded the onlooker to truth, he'd have sensed the great champion was nearly washed up.
 Charlie Mitchell, a gritty little Britisher, scarcely heavier than a middleweight, was Johns oppon- ent. The combat lasted more than three hours, bare knuckles in a cold driving March rain. Mitchell ran away continuously in the ankle deep mud. Sullivan exhausted him. self chasing the agile Briton, hum- bly, accepted a draw to end the fascO.
 John L., then 30, lasted four years longer as champion. In that period he fought but once before taking his lick ing from James J. Corbett.
 No ringster ever won such endur- ing fame as Sullivan. This growI- ing giant was not only the heaviest hitter of his day, he was also an alcoholic. He could drink as hard as he could fight, which was plenty. He held nation, yea a world in wOrshipful awe. Even for such coarse Sullivanesque disorders as this:
 Once timid little man wormed an introduction to the great man in a Boston mug-house. Little man offered a shaky hand grasp. John merely glared at him. Little man perked up courage, saying, might I offer you a LITTLE drink, sir?" Sullivan scoWled, then snorted. A waiter ap- peared. Please take MT.

of your best Bourbon-and be damn quick about it!"
 IN A CLASS BY HIMSELF
 Sullivan, tremendously powerful, was fast afoot and a good boxer. He was in a class by himself as a slugger and hitter. Oldtimers tell me the feroc- ity of his attack was that of a wound ed lion. Few could stand up to it, let alone check him. In one of his early bouts John knocked a man flat with sock on the spine. The victim broke his nose crashing to the boards. Another, respected fsticuffer, turned tail at Sullivan's first rush, jumped from the stage and fled the scene.
 It was then that the great man eyed the audience savagely and spat his still quoted line: ''I'm John L. Sullivan and l can lick any SOB. in the hOuse!''
 Sullivan claimed to have invented" the modern scientific kayo shot to the jaw. Maybe he did. Anyhow, on a nine-months' all-comers tour he of fered $1,000 to anyone lasting four rounds with him. He fattened about 50 men on this walloping spree.
 All of Sullivan's big fights were with bare knuckles-except one. De- feat came to him with the mitts on against young Jim Corbet John was then 34, somewhat pot-bellied veteran.
 l knew Corbett well in the last years of his life. About year before the fight, John L. boxed a friendly ex- hibition with young Jim in a San Francisco theater.
 ''It was just in fun,'' Corbett told me, "but l learned everything needed to know about his style that night. l could have slapped him around then, but I never let on. It

 Another neat buried story was a speech made by Under Sec. of La bor Keen Johnson in Chicago two weeks ago. Johnson, former gov ernOr of Kentucky and a onetime newspaper editor, charged that the press played up strikes, ignored labor peace. In l946, he said, ''de- spite strikes, the total output of American industry was the largest in peacetime history" but to the press only the stoppages were news.
 ''The thousands of peaceful me- gotiations which transpired during the year were not regarded as news," said Johnson as he pointed out that nine out of 10 disputes were settled without a strike. ''The nine cases peacefully settled did not make the news, but the tenth did,"

Raisins Snub the Sugar Bowl

Raisins Snub the Sugar Bowl
Star of this sugar short season is
the raisin. With good supply of
these seedless purple pellets, or the
big pale amber nectars in your
kitchen, there's no need to fret if
the sugar bin gets low.
Raisins have winning SAVIOR that
makes them sugars rival for your
favor. Theirs is the charm of long
days of mellow sunshine of
early morning dew distilled to pre-
cious essence -. of choice grapes,
hanging heavy-headed on the vine,
slowly drinking in this richness and
locking it heart deep, until the
secret of true sweetness is their
own. With such raisins in the pan
try you can snub the sugar bowl.
Forget about frostings. Let raisins
broider your cake toppings with
their eye-appealing charm. Upside
down your batter on mixture of
butter, honey, nuts, and raisins be-
decked with hower-like sworls of
grapefruit, tangerine, or orange Sec
tons. So delectable is this topping
that gooey frostings run a poor
second when a palate poll is taken.
Fruit cups take on a dressed up
charm, springs early tartness is
toned down, by the matured and
mellow sweetness of stewed raisins.
The honeyed juices of the raisin,
cooked to amber nectar, lend an
old-time fragrance like fowery
perfume. And the fruits themselves,
gently swelled to plump proportions,
become tiny puff balls of pure
pleasure, that make a tender foil
for the crispness of fresh fruit.

'Truant bottles" are threaten

Witches and spooks, the story
of SLEEPY Hollow, etc. once
more come to mind as traces of
the Halloween season appear on
the store windows as well as in
the window displays around
town.
Early pranksters have already
begun their seasons work of
decorating" the fronts of the
downtown stores and in all prob
ability, have also begun work in
the residential districts, although
no reports of this have been re-
ceived.
Residents of Marysyille as well
as surroun ding communities,
should probably nail or tie down
all movable objects that cannot
be taken in for safe keeping. For
it will be found, that despite all
laws and officers, some force,
human or otherwise, is going to
be moving lawn furniture, signs,
tools and even small buildings
from their proper locations.

CARNIVAL TO AID
FUNDS FOR POLIO

Halloween Dance and Carnl-
val for benefit of the Union
County chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paraly-
sis will be held in Marysville Oct.
80, Mrs. Alta Davis, chairman of
the organization, has announced.
1t will be a countrywide affair
and it is expected that severa'
hundred merry makers will be en-
hand for the occasion.
Only tentative plans have been
complete so far, but it is expected
that the Freddy Davis orchestra
will play for square and round
dancing. There will also be prizes
for masqueraders, it is planned.
An increase in the number of
paralysis cases in Union county
this year-there have been four
to date, three in Redwood and
one reported this week near
Allen Center-has depleted the
Chapters funds for local use. The
dance is planned by Mrs. Davis
in an effort to replenish the
money which is used to help pay
for treatments for Union county
polio victims.
