TOP TEEN TUNES
Donegon Bringing SkiffIe to U. S.
BY HARRY BAcAs

Ever hear Of skif1e? You may
soon.
Skiffle is to England what rock
and-roIl is to the United States, but
it's younger
It started about a year ago with
a young man (24) named Lonnie
Donegan. who was a sideman in
jazz band. Today he has his own
band, drives a Daimler sports car,
dresses in a white cowboy suit and
is acclaimed as the Elvis Presley of
the British Isles.
Skiffie did it for him. He took
old American folk songs. changed
the words around and sometimes
the tunes. added an accompaniment
of guitars, a washboard and a glass
wine jug and did the whole thing
up with a stomping rhythm.
He wasn't really producing any
thing new, the music historians
pointed out. He was just going back
to the roots of rock-and-ron itself.
The word "skiffle" had been used
for years TO describe a certain kind
of Southern hillbilly band. But the
public went wild over it. 1t was
bright, it seemed new and it had
a good beat for dancing.
Lonnie Donegan'S first skiffle rec
ord circulated in this country was
called The Rock Island Line" That
was a year ago. Remember it?
Now a new record is out, on the
London label, recorded by one of
the many other English skiffie
groups which have sprung up in
Lonnie Donegan's tracks. This one
is led by singer Bob Cort and the
two songs are 1T Takes a Worried
Man to Sing a Worried Song" and
Don't You Rock Me. Daddy-O."
It is the groups first record for
London.
The first song was rewritten by
Bob Cort himself, using about half
the material of an old American
blues called Worried Man Blues"
The tune is even older. going back
&c a spiritual called Lord. Don't
You Remember Me?"
Don't You Rock Me, Daddy-O"

DENVER, June ~ ND. -
Champion Joe Brown. fatty
predicting a knockout victory, is
an 8-5 favorite over Cuba's Or
lando Zulueta for their light
weight championship fight in
Denver Coliseum tonight.
"I'll knock him out" said the
30-year-old champion shortly
before he and Zulueta met for
the official weigh-in.
Neither Brown, Of Houston,
Tex. nor his slick-boxing OPP
ponent was expected to have any
weight difficulty. The champion
hit the l35-pound limit on the
nose and Zulueta weighed 1341a
after their final workouts Mon
day.
THE scheduled l5-round fight.
starting at 10 pm. will be
televised in Washington over
WMALr-D.
Promoter Joe Dupler predicted
a $500 gate for the first title
bout here in 80 years. Dupler
said he expects a crowd of 5000
at the 1l,000-seat auditorium.
Brown Is Confident
For his second title defense.
Brown has the option Of a $685.

Of the combined receipts. His
Cuban challenger will get a 20
per cent cut of the melon.
The slender lightweight king
appeared confident Of retaining
his crown despite once being
held TO a draw with Zulueta in
Baltimore four years ago. He
made his knockout prediction
after the Colorado Athletic Com
mission ruled the boxers will
wear 6-ounce gloves instead OF
the Bounce mitts usually re-
quired by the State code.
Brown easily is the harder
hitter of the two. He has q
knockouts in an 11-year boxing
career that shows a record OF
63-l4-8.
Brown won the lightweight
crown last August in a l5-rouno

RETIREMENT SET FOR JULY II
OH-CripPIed PorneII
Decides to Quit Game

BOSTON, June 10 R.-Mel
Parnell-the brittle Red Sox
lefthander with a no-hitter and
two 20-victory seasons to his
credit-today awaited self-im-
posed retirement from baseball.
Parnell, the best winning
southpaw in Red Sox history,
called the turn on himself yes
terday in conference with Cen
eral Manager Joe Cronin. Mel
has been told by New Orleans
doctor that he will not be able to
pitch this year.
Injured for the fourth straight
season. the 35-year-old New Or
leans resident has asked Cronin
to keep him on the disabled list
until July IL when he will have
completed 10 years of major
league competition.
Had Elbow Operation
At that time, he will ask to be
put on the voluntary retired list.
Sidelined by a preseason ell
bow operation, Parnell decided
to end a career filled with all
ments.
For one dazzling moment last
year, Parnell realized every
pitchers dream when he beat
Chicago, 40, at Fenway Park for
"a no-hitter in which he allowed
only two walks. 1t was the Red
Sox' first no-hit game since
Howard Ehmke whipped Phila-
delphia in 1923.
Mel was on the disabled list
from May Is to June is last sea-
son after he sprained his left
ankle sliding into second against
Detroit.
Parnell was on the list in "a,
too. He was hit on the wrist by
a Maury McDermott pitch in
Washington and was out for half
of the season.
Though he was not on the
disabled list in 1855. Parnell hurt
his knee in a spring training
mishap and hurled only 46 in
nings all year.
Fortunate for Parnell was a
double break on the ring finger
acquired in the most recent
of his pitching hand in. 1947.
