81 per cent between 1910 and
1850 when it edged Detroit out
of fourth place. If this rate of
growth continues, Los Angeles
soon will overtake Philadelphia
and become the Nations third
largest city.
Detroit is a city whose growth
has been keyed to industry
automobiles. In 1900 Detroit was
the 18th largest city. with a
population of 100000. BY 1910,
its population had increased by
10000; in the century's second
decade it's growth was $4,000
and in the third $4,000. De-
troit rose to ninth place in 1910
and to fourth in 1920. retaining
that position until 1850 when
Los Angeles bumped it back into
fifth place.
1t is unlikely that there will
be any new additions to the
Big Five for some time. although
there may be some shifts within
that select group. Detroit has
almost twice as many residents
as Baltimore in sixth place.

creased by 81 per cent and %

1910 and 1850.
Other Rates of Growth.
The rates of growth of ether
cities in the Top 10 during the
last decade were New York 6
per cent, Chicago 7, Philadelphia
Z, Los Angeles 81, Detroit IA.
Baltimore II, Cleveland 4, st.
Louis S and Boston 4 per cent.
San Francisco appears a good
bet to edge into the Top 10 by
1860 and possible dark horse
is Houston which increased 55
per cent in the last decade to
rank 14th.
In the past decade, suburban
areas bordering the largest cities
have grown even faster, in many
cases, than the cities themselves.
The Census Bureau defines a
standard metropolitan area gen.
orally as a county which con-
tains at least one city of $4,000
or more residents and of con-
tiguous counties considered eco
nomically integrated with that
city.

Almost one in every four per-

Americas No. 1 city has al
ways been New York. 1t has led
since the first census in 1890
and shows no signs of surrender
ing the leadership.
New York with nearly million
inhabitants far outranks Chi
cago, it's nearest rival. The Mid
west metropolis has less than
half as many residents as New
York.
Even SO. Chicago has had an
extraordinary history of growth,
particularly in the latter half of
the 10Th century, when the west
ward push of population first
started.
In the so years from 1840 to
1890, Chicago grew from a town
of about 4,500 to a roaring,
sprawling metropolis of nearly /
million, displacing Philadelphia
as the second biggest city in the
United States. Since then. Chi
cago has frightened its grip on
second place, doubling its popu-
lation between 1890 and 1910.
In 1850 it had a total of more
than SO million.
Los Angeles has had the fastest
relative population growth of
any of the top 10 cities in the
last half century. In 1900 Los
Angeles had little more than
100000 people; now it is in the
2 million class.

NEW YORK tR ~ Jersey Joe
Walcott plainly had endured about
as much as he could. The former
heavyweight champion kept scowl-
ing and edging his chair forward,
despite all his lawyer could do to
hold him back.
For 40 minutes by the clock, the
old Pappy Guy had been sitting
there and listening to the head
men of boxing in this country dis
cuss, inferentialy, whether his
manager, Felix Bocchicchio, was
fit person to be given a license
by the Chicago or New York fight
commissions.
Felix at the time was in near
by hospital, fighting for his life
against a heart attack which had
struck him yesterday morning.
Perhaps. it was this, and the fact
that his manager wasn't there to
defend himself. which preyed on
the veteran Negro boxer and fl
nally forced him to his feet.
ITS not fair, Nalcott said in
a hot. angry voice. Here you men

a 9 and s custer of her firt-round
opponent, Mrs. Lee Alexander of
Syracuse. In the second round, she
gave a and 5 beating to Marine
Polk. In the third, she defeated
Texarkana'S Betty McKinnon on
the 18th. Then came victories over
Georgia's Eileen Stub, and 8,
and Philomena Carney, champion
of ireland, S and 4.
Bev won her toughest match in
the tournament in the Semi-finals
by a one-hole margin over Grace
DeMosS, who had twice before
beaten her. That put her in the
finals with Mae Murray, of Rut-
land, Vermont.
Mae went into an early two-hole
lead, which melted at the seventh
and was forgotten by the 10th,
where Bev went two up. From
then on it was a cinch. Beverly
tossed a relentless "a at Mae in
the morning and stayed even par
in the afternoon session. The score
was and 4.
But Bev, the newly crowned
champion, didn't stop with the
Amateur tucked away. Shortly
after, she was low amateur in the
