On Verdict
BY GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK B-Bcbo Olson may
not be the greatest middleweight
boxing champion the world has
seen, but the tattooed man from
Hawaii win do until a better one
comes along.
He did a competent job on Randy
Turpin Of England in their Is
Square Garden last night before
a capacity crowd Of 1889. He did
not score a knockout, but only be-
cause the man from bennington
Spa had q tremendous lot of heart
when he was being badly punished
in the closing rounds.
Turpin did show up, despite
every doubt that he would, and
he made fight Of it for national
television audience. He made no
complaint of the unanimous ver-
dict against him by two judges
and the referee. He said only be-
tween battered lips that he be-
lieved he could have done better
IL he had been free mentally, or
words to that effect.
Exactly what he meant by that
is not clear here. 1t is q matter
of record, however, that he has
been having some sort of feminine
trouble back home. After the fight
he told a British writer that he
thought he might have knocked
Olson out within eight rounds If
he had been fright"
This particular observer saw the
bout more or less as the officials
did. We thought that Olson wal
loped the pixilated Briton by 10
rounds to 4, with even-in other
words, that he won the title going
away.
Turpin won the first three rounds
and then he took q whacking. His
only other round was the eighth,
wherein he belted Olson a right
on the chops that staggered the
new champ. However, Turpin was
so tired he was unable to follow
up his advantage.
For some obscure reason, Tur-
pin was a sucker ut getting caught
with his back against the ropes.
Every time the former champ
staggered into the strands, Olson
followed him there and poured In
the leather. Afterwards, Randy
couldn't explain this weakness him
self.
The closest thing to q knockout
probably came at the flag end Of
the ninth round. Olson had caught
Turpin good in his own corner and
had sent the Briton down with a
furry of solid blows to the head.
The bell changed, however, as Ref
cree Al Berl reached the count of
five.
In the following round Turpin
went down against almost at the
outset, but got up and was ready
to 60 as Berl reached the nine
count. He took q severe beating
the remainder of the round.
From there on it was strictly
a matter of whether Turpin would
60 the route. Several times Olson
had him in trouble, set up for
a series of clean shots to the jaw,
but each time the Briton called
upon his stamina and his ability
to slip punches to get away.
The only visible damage to eth
er fighter was a cut which TurpinI
received under his left eye in the
third round and cut mouth.
Olson weighed 1894, Turpin Isl.

The sky is what the prisoner longs for and
what the city dweller often forgets. Walk
down western avenue of any city in the face
of brilliant sunset, and who has stopped in
his tracks to see it better? Who has lifted
his head? Not many; very few. And what
person at window at home, in train, on
a ship, or in a stratocuiser lays down his
murder story or interrupts casual conver
sation to look for moment in reverence at
the sky? Almost no one.
YET it is the immensity of the sky which
can turn happiness to exaltation, comfort US
in grief and offer to those who long for some
thing the bright intmation of hope or
escape. 1t is the Oldest symbol of freedom
known to man.
For my part, know the sky better than
my city or my state. Wherever am, the

night is full of familiar stars. and every day
- unless rain or snow or illness has inter-
fered- there is at least one crowded moment
of renewed adventure through the cumulus
mountains, down the black canyons of storm,
across the mackerel- Sahara, up the GIRO

summer afternoon
How often have you looked at it today?
Did the suns rays move like a giant compass
through the crack in the western wall? What
shapes did you see? Did you spot camel,
shark, an Everest, face, a dragon, or a

Emerson was right: The sky is the daily
bread of the eyes - and of the mind, and
the imagination too. So whenever the world
appears to be at its worst, take look at the
wayward splendor overhead. The chances

quiet. There followed a frantic
search and finally a police report.
Fear and tension mounted. Word
of her disappearance spread like
wildfire throughout the town.
There was an investigation inside
the house. Some things were miss
ing. Some Of her cherished be-
longings.
There was some checking with
railroad officials. A call later
that night revealed that a woman
answering to the description was
on an eastbound train east of the
mountains. There was a rather
odd, but comforting report by
telegram. Yes, the woman in
question seemed quite well. She
had left for visit. Where? Why?
The message was terse.
Perhaps there was a misunder-
standing. The children back home
checked again.
Several days later a train con-
ductor had verified this report.
The little old lady had talked to
him at great length. She seemed
excited and happy. She talked of
that trip to the old country. Sew
eral days later, when he learned
what had happened to her, he
said: mo! How could she? She
was so happy
It was late that night when a
little old woman walked into a
hotel lobby in a strange, remote
town, entroute to her destination.
She was Juggling that enormous
suitcase. She was fatigued. She
asked for directions, for some
help. Where you going?" some
people asked.
I'm going back home" she
said. I'm going away"
No one understood her. She
was rushed to a hospital. There
she repeated those words. But no
one understood them. Soon her
lips barely moved. Some strange
Whitehead men were lowering
above her. They held instruments
in their hands. They were angels.
Then she grew quieter and closed
her eyes. And then she started
her long, long journey.

Scandinavian American:
You are to be congratulated on
doing an outstanding job of edit
ing.
From my first Scandinavian ex-
perience as American Vice Consul
to Denmark to my later visits, 1
have come TO have an increased
interest in the problems of under
standing between Scandinavia and
the United States. We know that
our immigrants of Scandinavian
birth bring some of the finest
qualities that make America what
it is today. And though loyal Am
orleans, they retain an interest in
their former homeland, which can
be well served by a newspaper
such as yours. But perhaps even
more important is the service you
can and do render to second gen.
GRAFTON Scandinavians, who, with
out papers in English like the
Scandina vian-American, wOuld
lose touch with the land of their
fathers and the qualities they
brought here. Time Is weaving
these nationality elements into q
tapestry of great beauty and
strength. But the original fibers
are kept so intact that the fine
ness Of each shows In the cOmplet-
ed handiwork.
May your publication grow and
prosper in the years ahead.
