Binsham's, Burke's Lead Bowling Loop
Burke Committee Boxing Sho,U Fills Arena
Bobby zraik
PIeases Fans

The 15-bout boxing show
at the Sports Arena, sponsor
ed by the Burke For Congress
committee, was a huge sue
cess last Friday night. The
large Arena was filled almost to
capacity and drew the largest
fight crowd ever to attend an
amateur boxing exhibition in To-
ledo.
The action-filled card was well
received by the enthusiastic
crowd which was loud in its
praise of the efforts of the anna
teur mittmen. Six knockouts
added extra excitement to the
program.
The outstanding fight of the
evening was that betweenn fly
weights Bobby Zraik, Local IL
boing club, and Lawrence Dick,
Local 9 gymnasium. These two
game ringmen fought toe-to-toe
for three complete rounds, with
the judges decision going to
the Local IL battler because of
his stronger finish. The bout was
very close throughout the three
rounds, with Bobby Zraik hav-
ing a slight edge, according to
the judges.
'The Congressman Burke tro-
ply for the "Fightingest Fight
er" was awarded to Tito Clarey,
lightweight who formerly be-
longed to the Local IL boxing
club, but who more recently
fights under the Local 8 banner.
Two judges, two newspaper
sports writer's, and one referee
cast votes for the "Fightingest
Fighter" and awarded the prize
to Clarey, three votes to two.
The fans we're loud in their dis
approval of the decision, saying
that Zraik should have been
awarded the coveted trophy. Ac-
cording to those who attended
the fights, little Bobby showed
more fight than anyone on the
entire program.
Clarey showed classy form
when he defeated Jackie Cum
berland a clever lad from Co
lumbus, Ohio. Tito floored his
adversary in the third round of
their bout.
Local 9 boxers ~ho were sue
cessful in their bouts are Steve
Feyes who knocked out Forrest
FAINT; Benny Pereles by knock
out over Ray Hart of Columbus;
and Johnny Garcia by the knock
out route over Emmanuel Frazier
of Columbus.

Of the four foes facing the

The number of hunting ac-
cidents registered every deer
season brings to my mind the
following question:
Is red clothing the safety
factor which it is supposed to
be, or does it merely lend a
false sense of security? If it
is the latter, then it should
be discarded a and d hunters
should be allowed to dress as
they like.
But il red is a safety meas
ure then every hunter should
not only be compelled to
wear it, bat this color should

Hot Or Cold For Bass?

Question: Will bass rise better
in warm water than in cold?
And what's the best way of
fishing weedy waters?
AnSl0er: If you are after large
mouth bass, you'll often get
good fishing when the water is
really warm. Smallmouths,
however, will usually stay deep
under those conditions.
For weedy waters, try good
weedless spoon. Surface bugs
too might prove effective, for
they'll often bring results where
plugs and spoons fail; but it's
imperative to fish the bugs slow
ly.

EATING UNDER WATER

The swapping turtle, as he is
popularity called, is one of the
really queer forms of turtle
life. He is one of the meanest
of all turtles, and will snap at
anything that happens to get in
his way or within his reach. So
powerful is his strike" THAI he
has been known to nip off men S
fingers, and speaking of strik-
ing, which is exactly what he
does, this turtle defends himself
more like a snake than any
other turtle. He doesn't pull in
his head in most instances but,
instead, goes right after the enc
my with a quick and murderous
strike of his jaws, his neck ex-
tending out much farther than
thought possible And perhaps
the most amazing thing about
this snapper is his unusual habit
of eating everything under wa
ter. That's fact If snapper can't
eat under water, he starveS. And
this even though he's an air
breather If snapper happens
to be in the same water as few
ducks, the ducks stand a good
chance of being his dinner.
Snapper grabs ducks by the feet
and pulls them under the water
until they drown, then he re-
moves the feathers and has his
meal.

ans were e d. Why was red
selected in the first place?
Another question: Has any
real effort ever been made to
determined exactly what
colors stand out in the woods
and sWamps under all condi-
tions? 1t is a known fact that
a small percentage of people
are color blind and that red
does not register with them.
Even the red and black cloth
ing used by some hunters
seems to appear all black un-
der certain conditions.
In view of the situation as
it stands today, it seems to
me that one of the very first
thins to be done is to find out
through the proper tests ex-
actly what color is best and
just what safety va lue it
may, or may not, have. Red
may be that color. But let's
find out beyond the slightest
question of doubt.
