Boxing probe

District Attorney Frank S.
Hogan has picked up the recent
"indict or else" challenge hurled
by Boxing Commissioner Eddie
Eagan by issuing wholesale bar
rage of subpenas.
Detectives swarmed into Madi-
son Square Garden, and served
more than a dozen managers and
promoters, including a prominent
member of the Rocky Graziano
coterie.
Hogan is supposed to have
knowledge of betting coups in
which large sums changed hands,
and is prepared to subpoena sew
eral boxing writers and judges in
an effort to forge his link of facts.
He is challenging ring officials,
particularly judges, having tabu-
lated long list of split decisions.

They left New York late Sun

in the interim they had blasted
Boston by a IA score and fought
the Rangers to grueling % tie.
The fort line" of Bodnar, Pole,

gathering six goals between them
in the two games.
With New York, Boston and
Montreal fighting for a Stanley

There is only one dark side
to this bright picture. That is
the lack of Negro players in
the organized play for pay"
leagues.
The Negroes role in pro bas-
ketban has been different than
in any other sport. He has been
one of the most important fac
tors in its development.
THE HARLEM Globetrot-
tiers and New York Rens are
legendary in basketball lore
In the dark hours when the
game was suffering from grow
ing pains, nothing did more to
keep it alive than the unfor-
gettable grueling battles be-
tween the Rens and the one
and only New York Celtics.
THE TWO NEGRO players
who were in the N.B.L. last
year, Dolly King and Pop"
Gates, have left the circuit.
Their reason for calling it
quits is rumored to be travel

the color of their skin, became
unbearable.

of something. That the missing
finger, not Browns natural skill,
accounted for Mordecai's glitter
ing success.
Becoming second, perhaps
mightier Brown, was simply a
matter of expert surgery. So he
voluntarily had his index finger
hacked off!
Perdue got his call to baseball's

that he didn't make good.
He resembled Brown in but one
respect. Both had three fingers

Natures Children
By LiIIion Cox Athey

Man and ants are the only ami
mails which plan and carry through
devastating wars on helpless ma
tions.
There are two species of belliger-
ent ants. The armies of these ants
bivouac in a shallow depression
from which they wage war on
neighbor colonies they have de-
cided to wipe out. Ants always pro-
mote war to better themselves at
the distress of their victims. It is
claimed they even send scouts out
to locate prosperous colonies. This
means there are herds Of cattle, and
the nursery is filled with young
ants which can, and will be, turned
into slaves.
Wherever the black army goes
it means destruction for the VIC
tins. In Mexico traveller encoun-
ters the steady marching phalanx
OF ants en- route to battle. The dark
uniforms identify the officers, the
light-colored ones the younger Off
GERS in training. Black ones are
for fighters who are the true SOL
dlers, marching with wide-open
jaws that can decapitate an enemy
with gusto.
Once you are aware of the habits
of these ants, you can keep step
with the marchers. Nothing diverts
their attention from their main
objective. Their sharp, steel-like
jaws are as effective as any weap-
ons could be.
Reaching their destination, they
form a dense mass about their vic
tins. They swarm into the opening
which has been made by an ad-
vanced guard. With legs hooked
together they let themselves into
the doomed city. Booty is soon seen
being passed back by another line.
Anything they find edible, which
often consists of pupae, is devoured
on the spot; otherwise 1t is consid-
cred valuable plunder and carefully
taken home.
Nothing of value is left behind
when ants take city. 1t is left in
shambles. Invasion usually takes
place during the night. The ex-
pedition army penetrates the city
at many points without hesitation.
Their actions remind one of care
fully planned and skillfully carried
out operations. The many columns
of attack are carried out in an
orderly manner.
Occasionally, when the army is
attacking, it encounters unexpected
foes like rats and other small house
pests. The army falls to with great
zest. The screaming animals inform
the householder his home is being
freed from Objectionable occupants

Saturday Quiz.

Mount Vernon: A certain minister
always pronounces Wednesday with
three distinct syllables, thus: We'd
'nz-di." Is it correct?-J. j. G.
Answer: Not in American usage.
The pronunciation WED 'nz-di"
is sometimes heard in Northern
British usage. The correct Ameri-
can pronunciation is either: WENz-
di; or WENz-day.
Corpus Christi: How does the
seaman's peacoat get its name?-
G. F. H.
Answer: The usual term is pea
jacket. According to Skeat's ETY.
mological Dictionary, the pea is
a corruption of the Dutch word
phi or Pile, "a coat Of a coarse
woolen stuff worn by seamen" This
origin Is given also by the Diction-
ary Of American English, University
Of Chicago Press.
Carrollville: Our English class
would like to have the correct pro-
nunciation of the word poignant.
We have been pronouncing it POIG-
nant, with the hard ga. K.
Answer: Sorry, no. The correct
pronunciation is either POIN-y'nt,
or POI-n'nt.
Milwaukee: I say that "demi-
tasse cups" is redundant. My
friends say I am wrong. What do
you say?-Mrs. w. P. r.
Answer: Demitasse, from the
French demi-tasse, means literally
half cup" for tasse is the French
word for cup. In American usage,
deuitasse means "a small cup Tor
serving black coffee after dinner:
the coffee contained in such a
cup" Also, in American usage, the
small cups are pluralized thus:
demitasses, and the American pro-
nunciation is: DEMee-TASS-ez.
(This is not the French pronuncia-
ton. The French say duh-mee-
TAHASS for both singular and
plural)
Earlville: I frequently see the
word allergic in print but can't
find it in my dictionary. Why?-
L. E. P.
Answer: Apparently you have an
old and outmoded dictionary. AL
lergic means having or affected by
an allergy." An allergy Is state
Of hypersensitiveness to pollens,
fruits, foods, etc. Hay fever, asthma
and hives are common allergies,
Allergy is pronounced: AL-er-jee.
Allergic is: uh-LER- -jik. In popular
usage, allergic means having an in-
tense dislike for" as, I'm allergic

The bidding:
West North East South
spade Pass Mt Double
2 spades Pass Pass 3NT
Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: Jack of spades.
Opening leads from certain card
combinations are commonly re-
garded as taboo. Leads from a
king, for example, are generally
frowned upon. Leads from an ace
queen against a suit contract are
looked upon as the mark Of the
uninitiated. But, it must be borne
in mind that these bans are in
tended to apply only to the case
of Tho oy>ori,o Jaod xrybicH iS hoipo
made in the dark, and before in
formation has been obtained from
the appearance of the dummy.
But the appearance of the dummy
and developments of the play will
call for a change Of
policy and new leads from aces and
kings may not only become per-
but be absolutely obliga-
tory.
We have many times observed
that when there is only one suit
remaining which offers any hope to
defeat the contract, reliance should
be placed upon that suit and not
upon any slogans A splendid illus
tration is provided by today's hand.
South's action in doubling is the
proper procedure. Doubles of one
no trump are intended for penalties
and Lartner Is asked to leave the
double In unless his hand Is COM
pletely unsuited to no trump de-
fense. South made a gambling bid
Of three no trump, expecting to
get spade lead and hoping some
how to pick up the ninth trick in
partners hand.
West led the jack of spades which
declarer won with the queen and
led back with heart.
West played the ten to insure
himself two heart tricks. When
the king held, declarer offered not
to delay the game any further
and exposed nine tricks. South's
strategy was very good. Had he
chosen to run off his clubs first
the whole picture would have been
clear to the opposition and he would
hardly have been permitted to steal
the king of hearts. But West erred.
The bidding plainly indicated that,
South's enthusiasm must be based
upon a long and solid club suit.
Otherwise where would be the values
for his double and his single handed
bid of three no trump? If declarer
has six clubs in addition to the
two spade tricks that he is known
to hold, the king of hearts will be
the ninth trick. The only hope
therefore is the diamond suit. West
should have grabbed" the heart
and shifted to the ace and queen
of diamonds. East's no trump
response could have been based on
the king Of diamonds and the queen
of hearts. 1t was!
