Powerful Italian Eyes
0Ison's Crown After
Polishing Off Turpin
BY the Assoeioted Press


ROME, May 3.-Two men
were on the comeback trail last
night. One bent his head in
prayer. The other fidgeted with
his glove lacings.
Twenty-eight seconds later
handsome Tiberio Mitri was
laughing happily. His prayers
had been answered and he was
once again the European middle
weight champion. idol of Italy
and aching to tangle with World
Champion Bobo Olson.
Randy Turpin, former world
champion, slammed to the can

stood in his corner with glazed
eyes. smiling a little as If it
couldn't have happened.
It was one of the quickest
knockouts on record, with Italy's

Reporters Miss Punch.
The end came SO suddenly and
the crunching punch was so

Italian said later in his dressing

The disconsolate Turpin, who
beat Sugar Ray Robinson for the
middleweight crown in 1851 and
later lost it to Robinson, sat in
his dressing room, slumped on q
stool.
II could have gone on" Tur-
pin said.
But even his manager, George
Middleton, agreed that the ref
cree was right in leading the
beaten Turpin to his corner and
ending the fight.
Turpin Looks Tense.
Turpin. who won the Euro
pean 160-pound title by knock
ing out Hollands Lucien Van
Dam in 1851, looked tense and
nervous when the first bell rang.
The two fighters circled each
other for a few seconds, with
Turpin leading with light jabs.
Then Mitri moved in. Suddenly
his left hand hooked upward
Savagely and caught Turpin on
the jaw.
Turpin began to fall, and
Mitri brushed him with a right
on the way down. The Briton's s
head banged against the canvas
with a dull thud.
Randy sprawled there while
the Spanish referee tolled FIVE.
Then he rose and lurched across
the ring. falling into the ropes.
The fight was stopped.

County Agricultural Agent. The
quickest and easiest way to dis
pose of them is to drop them in
a disposal pit. The chickens de-
compose rapidly without chemi-
calls and cannot be dug up by
dogs. With a pit it is not neces-
sary to dig hole or start a fire
every time a chicken dies.
Pits in Delaware are usually
built six feet wide and six feet
deep. A well-constructed pit can
be built by laying concrete or
cinder blocks in a circle around
the outside of the hole, then pour
ing a concrete slab on top over
scrap lumber. To save money,
many poultrymen line the pit
with boards instead of blocks.
An old milk can or bell sewer
tile (8 or IL inches in diameter)
makes good opening to drop
birds in.
Pits should last several years if
large enough for size of plant. If
pits fills up, build another and al
ternate; or use quicklime. Keep
top covered ali the time.
