prepared was LaMotta, who was
given oxygen for nearly half an
hour after taking brutal beating
that resulted in Robinson's lifting
the title in the 18th round by a
technical knockout.
"No Time to Talk"
"This is no time to try to talk
to LaMotta," Norris said early to-
day. His contract called for a
return bout with Robinson within
80 days, in the event he lost his
title. Offhand. I'd say that If

Jake seemed well on his way
toward a successful defense of his
title until he ran out of gas" and
absorbed some of the most dis
turbing ring punishment witnessed
in years.
Practically speaking, it would
appear that LaMotta has little
future if he prolongs the series
with Robinson. Last nights
TKO marked his fifth loss in six
matches with the dapper, fashy
Robinson. and it stands to reason
that Jake not only can't count
on beating Sugar Ray, but his
chances of winning a longevity
prize are remote.
Others Met Even Oftener.
Six f1ghts-or seventh if La
Motta wants it-are nowhere close
to a record. At the ringside last
night, Nat Fleischer, editor of

on boxing lore. recalled that Jack
Britton and Ted kid Lewis, the
two best welterweights of the
World War I era. fought each

want another crack at Robinson

Earthquakes in the East

Hundreds of earthquakes occur in the Eastern
half OF the United States every year, and the
tremors yesterday in Connecticut, New York and
New Jersey were nothing extraordinary except
in respect to the intensity of the force involved
What happened was local disturbance, perhaps
"the biggest in long time" The epicenter of
the movement appears to have been in the
Ramapo Mountains, group of hills related to
the Appalachian highlands. These structures
rest upon what geologists consider "the universal
foundation of all North America" formed thou
sands of centuries ago. No other part of the
earth has more substantial base.
1t does not follow, however that there is
no danger of a major shifting of weights in,
near or even far distant from the Ramapos. The
earthquakes at Charleston, South Carolina in
1885, were felt for approximately 1000 miles,
proving the power Of comparatively minor
quiver to create trouble. There may be further
movement in the Northeastern corner of the
United States shortly. But Connecticut New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland Virginia
and the District of Columbia are well within
the "lucky zone," so far as seismic activity is
concerned The reason is to be found in the
geologic antiquity of the Appalachian system.

This and That
BY Charles E. TroceweN

Cats have been known to 60 across
country on long jauntS and show up in
months or years at the old home Of
their rightful owners.
In all such cases, however, the cat
had just been taken to a new home
and had left its owners and gone back
to the old house.
Cats are famous for this
They have the scent, as it were, OF
the old place freshly in their nostrils
and in the strange memory the scent
seems to hold.
Just as one can smell some one chew
ing gum, but cannot smell their breath
otherwise, so the cat may hold some
such lingering fragrance for days, or
even weeks, but scarcely for years.
That an animal can, after several
years, find its way for 1000 miles to q
strange place is a bit difficult to swallow.
Perhaps the cat managed to get a
ride in the right direction, or maybe the
trip home was framed" that is, some
one who knew the people thought it
would be a good joke to take the cat
backswithin certain distance and turn
it loose, trusting 1t would find the right
house.
It might have been that it was de-
livered in the night to the very proper
door, who knows?
Photographs of this cat at the time
showed it plump and sleek, condition
scarcely credible in an animal that had
made such journey. unlesSrpy car.

Some years ago there was a book
written about sparrow, an ordinary
common sparrow. that was supposed to
have followed a family to California,
flown across the Pacific to China and
then flown back In reverse the whole
distance!
what do you thing of that?" some
one asked.
"Hokum, of course" was the answer.
"a pleasant fable. but nothing more.
"Sparrows, in the first place, do not
make such journeys"
But the writer says it is all true!"
Maybe she does. Perhaps she be-
ieves it firmly. But sparrows do not
act in that manner. And, besides, such
a trip would be impossible for a SPAR
row."
Let it be pointed out that there al
ways are exceptions. No one can make
fiat statement about anything but
what it may be disputed, and perhaps
with some Justice.
Let us not be dogmatic about such
things. Maybe the cat did walk
those 1000 miles to home 1t had never
seen. II so. 1t managed to keep re-
markably fat and sleek.
Maybe the sparrow actually did fly

Literory Journey Chorted

After reading the letter from "Curi-
Gus" in The Sunday Star Of August 26,
entitled Let's Just Go to the Beach,"
am pleased to be able to give an an
swer to his intelligent query. A literary
journey" has already been written, and
it is called Science for the Citizen" by
Lancelot Hogben. The logical and sys-
tematic course" of this book is not as
complex as Curious called for. 1t is no
literary journey through a systematic
field Of knowledge from the general to
the specific then back again to the gen.
eral; beginning with astronomy, then to
our own planet. biology, on down to the
ultimate cell; then back up through en-
bryology, to history, physics, chemistry,
sociology, psychology, philosophy, re-
ligion, etc., etc." The literary course"
of this book is simple, just the questions
that formed in mems minds, how they
were answered. and how the answers led
to still other questions.
Science for the Citizen" does start
with astronomy-way back when men
