Hope for Title Shot
Spurs Bucceroni in
Bout With Ten Hoff

Bucceroni. the stand-up better
from Philadelphia. gets the Jump
on Ezzard Charles in their race
for shot at Rocky Marciano's
heavyweight title against tower
ing Helm Ten Hoff of Germany
here tomorrow night.
The International Boxing Club
is said to be contemplating a
Marciano-Charles title bout in
early April, but the former
heavyweight champion from Gin
cinnati first must dispose Of
kayo-minded Bob Satterfleld in
Chicago January 13.
Bucceroni figures he can put
the pressure on the Marciano
camp with a convincing victory
over the 6-foot inch. 215-
pound Ten Hoff in their nom
televised 10-rounder in the Mil
waukee Auditorium. Bucceroni,
Danny Nardico and Nino Valdes
have been mentioned as Mar
clano'S next foe at Miami in
February.
Youth VS.. Weight.
Bucceroni, 26, has a 6-year
age advantage on Ten Hoff. but
at 100 will be spotting the
rugged German some Is pounds.
Butcher Boy Dan, with IS vic
tories against only three defeats,
won his last outing by stopping
shop-worn Freddie Beshore.
But he looked far less i'm
presSive in that November bout
than did Charles in his last
fight in which he blasted young
Coley Wallace.
So Bucceroni must shoot the
works against the German. who
in 1850 lost a 10-round decision
to Jersey Joe Walcott, but had
the venerable American on the
canvas.
Max Schmeling. former world
heavyweight champion, is quot
ed in Germany as saying Ameri-
can fighting style. at least in the
top bracket. is too robust" for
Ten Hoff.
Strings Five KnOckoutS.
Against Bucceroni, ranked No
l contender by the National Box
ing Association, Ten Hoff will
take a 1884 record, including
five straight knockouts over sec
ond raters since his arrival in
this country last February
Ten Hoff won the German
heavyweight title from Walter
Neusel in 1916 and the European
version of the crown from Jack
Gardner of England in 1851.
The European title was yield
ed by Ten Hoff to Karl Sys early
in 1852 and Ten Hoff's German
crown went to Heinz Neuhaus
later that year on a fluke. Ten
Hoff broke his leg when he
tripped in the ring and the bout
was stopped in the first round.

DESTROY "CHILD-kILLERS"

. II. Persons who purchase new
refrigerato1s today find that many
dealers . even those who have
given them "trade-in" value i.
have mouse for their old boxes.
Is. 1t is costly for the owner to
have his box carted away. And the
box has little resale value, even
to junk man.
19. AS a consequence, old ice
boxes can. be found today in back
yards of homes, in Easements, gar
ages, dump yards and the like.
20. Moreover abandoned iceboxes
are not the only hazards. At least
one child SuffOcated in a new freeZ-
er left on the porch of a home
prior to installation.
What are the types of dangerous
boxes?
21. For the most part the dan
gerOus' boxes fall into these classi-
fications:
a. Those which are definitely
abandoned or discarded because
they have no further use. These
are to be found by chill
Arizona sun., 1954-06-11
Statistics on Discarded
RefrigeratOrS

5. There are more than 50,0O0,-
900 iceboxes, refrigerators, freezers
and other such alright cabinets in
use today. They are being dis
carded at the rate of approximately
two to three million year.
5. There are more than 5O,0OO,-
600 iceboxeS, refrigerators, freeZers
and other such alright cabinets in
use today. They are being dis
carded at the rate of approximate
ly two to three million a year.
6. Once discarded, these refrig-
orators and other alright con-
tainers make inviting places for
games by small children.
7. It is now estimated that the
number of discards will continually
increase over the next few vars.
8. Heretofore many of these dis
carded ice boxes and refrigerators
have been small in size. This les
sened the probability of a child's
crawling into one of them.
8. However, families are pur-
chasing new refrigerators and
freeZerS in increasing number now.
This increased purchase is occa-
stoned by many factors, including
the desire for new boxes with
freezing compartments. What is
more important, the old refrigera-
tors these new purchasers are dis
carding are larger in size than
Arizona sun., 1954-06-11

7 those discarded in previous year
10. Temporary housing, now
abandoned, has also stepped up the
number of such discarded iceboxes,
refrigerators, and other alright
cabinets.
II. This means that there are
both more and more inviting dis
carded refrigeratorS and freezerS
for children to crawl into today.
CIRCUMSTANCES
Critical time of year
II. May through September have
proved to be critical months. Dur
ing this period children have leis-
ure vacation time for outdoor play
and discarded alright cabi-
nets with locks or hinges intact
provide enticing hiding places.
How do children get involved?
13. Children become locked in
iceboxes, refrigerators, freezers
and other alright cabinets for
many reasons. Some are just ex-
ploring or hiding from other chill
dren; they crawl in voluntarily.
Others are put into these compart-
ments by older children as part of
game" Still others are locked
in through definitely malicious in
tent of older boys and girls who
want to scare these younger chill
dfen for one reason or another.
Why are such discarded cabinets
dangerous?
IA. One essential condition of an
icebox, refrigerator, freezer or
other such cabinet is that it be
alright. Once the door is closed
+. which automatically latches
it . whatever amount of air is
inside the box will be exhausted in
a relatively short time.
Is. Meanwhile, the child cannot
be seen or mis- screams heard from
the outside. The refrigerator then
becomes a death trap.
16. Moreover a closed, alright
box is dark inside, increasing the
amount of terror felt by the
trapped child. Under such condi-
tions he will scream, pound on the
door, and otherwise attempt to
free himself, even though it is of
no avail. In other words, when it
would be best for him to lie as
quietly as possible, conserving the
limited supply of oxygen as much
as possible, the terror-stricken
child is engaged in activities which
exhaust the air in the box even
more quickly.

Death since 1948


/. Full information of the scope
of this problem is not available
previous to 1948. But according to
a table compiled in January, 1854,
by Refrigeration Service and Con-
tracting," during the six year
period 1948-1953 there has been a
total of nearly so cases IN which
one to five children have crawled
into a discarded icebox or refrig-
orator, closed the door and been
unable to get out.
Seve4ty-lline children have
died in these incidents, SO boys and
20 girls. Children involved have
ranged in age from 2 to IL years,
with the average age being 5 years.
8. During February 1854 two
more children were added to the
death toll resulting from this haz-
ard.
4. While this toll is not satisti-
cally high, it's potential seems to
be increasing percentage-wise an
nually. For example, there were
twice as many reported deaths
from SuffOcation in discarded re-
frigerators during 1858 as there
were during 1852. Moreover the
number Of deaths per incident is
increasing. In 1858 just four cases
involved II children. In one of
these cases five children from a
single family were victims.
