lin Ground Exhibition

A ringful of boxing headliners
will join forces at Uline Arena
tonight in a benefit show for the
widow and family of Sonny Boy
West, Washington lightweight
who died of head injuries re-
ceived in a bout at New York
shortly before Christmas.
Percy Bassett, the Philadelphia
slugger who was Vests oppo-
nent the night Sonny Boy was
fatally injured, meets Ted (Red
Top) Davis of Hartford, Conn, in
the 10-round feature attraction.
Willie Pep, two-time former feath-
erweight champion, will be in
Davis corner.
Sugar Ray to Referee.
Sugar Ray Robinson. welter-
weight champ, will referee one
bout on the card. Lee Savold, ono
of the current top-ranking heavy
weights, is scheduled to fly in
from Miami to box in a three
round exhibition with an unan-
nounced opponent.
But the biggest attraction prob
ably will be Joe Louis, former
heavyweight champion, who took
another laborious step along the
comeback trail last night by win
ming a fourth-round technical
knockout over Freddie Beshore at
Detroit. Louis still has a box
Office wallop even if some of the
sting is gone from his Furnishing
left hook and some of the swift
ness vanished from his right. Joe
also will referee one bout.
The attractive card, combined
as it is with such a worthy cause.
is expected to lure more than 5000
fans to Ulines. Promoter Goldie
Ahearn is even more optimistic
and estimates an attendance from
5000 to a standing room only

antees a slambang card with
enough action to satisfy the most
demanding fan.
Headgear to Be Used.
The program will mark the first
time all fighters on a professional
card here use protective headgear.
Introduced in intercollegiate box
ing last year by Coach Eddie La
Fond Of Catholic University. the
headgear had a negative effect on
the fans when used in a trial bout
at Turner's Arena last winter.
They will be used tonight and in
all future professional matches.

the District Boxing Commission.
The commission took this action
after Vests death, which was be-

injury suffered when his head

by Bassett.

Stor Games Entry
Fathers Advice Bears Fruit
In FowIkes' Sprint Triunphs

Buddy Fowlkes of Georgia Tech,
who set record of 81 in winning
the Sugar Bowl 100-yard dash last
Sunday. officially entered the
fourth annual Evening Star Games
today and will compete in the
sprint series in the Armory meet
January 13.
Fowlkes' triumph in New Or

Track athletes probably are thu

II. ). Must Decide
III Orders for Cotton
Abroad Can Be Filled
BY the Associated Press

The Government is carefully
weighing this country's rapidly
dwindling supplies of cotton to-
decide whether it can spare more
for cotton-hungry areas abroad.
A decision by the Agriculture
Department is expected within a
few days.
The Government slapped on
rigid restrictions on exports of
cotton last fall after it became
apparent that United States sup
plies would not be large enough
to meet all the needs of this
country and foreign buyers.
The tight supply situation was
caused by a very short crop last
year and increased domestic de-
mand for cotton products under
the defense program.
The department has allotted
1896, 900 bales for export during
the nine month period ending
April 80. Last year foreign ship
ments were about 6 million bales.
Many foreign countries are
pressing this country for addi-
tional supplies and the State De-
partment is helping them in nego-
|tiations with the Agriculture De-
|partment.
AS it is. the United States re-
serves at harvest time will be the
smallest in many years, perhaps
around 2 million bales.

Although he labeled alcoholism
as industry's greatest health prob

marked medical advances made on
other factory fronts.
He said today's worker is 100
per cent better protected against
accidents and disease than he was
10 years ago due to advances made
in factory health programs.
Some 6 million workers now are

Out of about 200 packages

Other packages contained strep-

Paul R. Leake, collector Of Gus

Chinese captured in North Korea
had been traced back to Hong
Kong. Mr.. Leake did not iden-
