''Pug AIIey'' Is
A Sorry Mess

eve wuz robbed "he took a dive" "whatta
lousy waltz" "who's getting the payoff," its a fix"
etc.
Such have been the classic using the word loosely
terms shouted by boxing fans in this goth century. So
frequently have the terms been used, that they are
often shouted in jest. Yet, sometimes the words rang
only too true.
30 90 even further, sometimes il wasn't only the
fans who we're being robbed" of an honest bout; often
times, the boxers had their purses" SO thoroughly
raided by various individuals, that they had very little
left over for "take-home pay"
Testimony-mounds of its being collected by
law officials showing that the fans not only knew
what they were talking about, but were way ahead of
these officials.
Recent evidence shows that the boxing sport has
been corrupted from stem to Sterm' by professional
gamblers and mobsters who have weasled their way
into various positions in the game. Ancient Romans
and Greeks, who placed such great value in the manly
art" probably would avoid it like a plague today.
In fact, so astonishing is some OF the evidence.
officials in some states have commented openly that
perhaps they might ask the sport be banned in their
states.
When did it all start? It's hard to say, but the
classic example of the corruption in boxing dates
back to 1893. That was the year that Primo Camera
won the world heavyweight championship by knocking
out Jack Sharkey.
He lost the title about a year later to Max Baer,
who floored the Italian giant IL times In the first IL
rounds. Then the fight was stopped.
Gamers earned about 10000 In his career but
when he went back TO Italy after his defeat TO Baer,
he had less than $500. So thoroughly were his
purses" raided by mobsiers and Ieeches, that he was
lucky TO go home with a shirt on his back.
The big fellow hardly had a chance with the
smooth operators. After all, he couldn't speak English
and knew nothing about this country when he was
brought here for the intended purpose of capturing
the biggest boxing prize. He had very little boxing
proves, but he had raw strength.
To-day, the corruption is SO great, that the entire
boxing profession seems to be in the advance stages
of decay. This doesn't mean that everyone connected
with the game has been, Or is, tainted with crooked
money.
Last week, for example, Columbus was host to
two venerable boxing championS-Rocky Marciano and
Jack Dempsey. These two men stand out as credits to
the boxing game.
What Of the future7 Due to the existing situation,
there are very, very few parents who nurture the
hope their sons will make a career in fhe boxing world.
And you can't blame them.
To 60 further, why should any y~oungster aspire
to take "Pug's Alley to fame when there are so
many other sports avenues to take.
Looking over the field, there's professional base
ball, football and basketball. These are the top attrac-
tons. And you also have golf-which is growing ever
so popular.

st. Joseph has had some
pretty lean years recently
(1-7-1 in 1858 and 1862 in
1850 but chances are this
season might be a turning
point.
One reason is that there
were SO candidates for this

gesf batch of candidates in re-.
cert years.

the entire backfield is back,

about his squad. He pointed
out that he has a well-balanc-

pretty fierce since everyone

GARDENING
and FARMING
IN DARE
By J. L. REA. Co. Agt.

A lot of Importance is placed on
winter lawns throughout the south.
There is always the question of
whether one can have a good winter
lawn and also have a pretty sum-
mer lawn. Actually the ideal lawn
grass has never been found. One
can have both, a pretty winter
lawn and also a nice summer lawn,
if carefully managed.
Many of the lawn grasses are
sod formers and tend to crowd out
other types of grasses. Italian Rye
Grass is a good example. Rye Grass
makes pretty winter lawn, but
should be moved closely and the
lawn should be heavily fertilized in
the late spring when the Italian
Rye grass dies. If the Rye grass
is allowed to get too tall and the
sod extremely thick the summer
grasses have a hard time. Rye
grass should never be seeded with
rescue or Blue grass.
It is not too late to seed Italian
Rye grass, but should be done as
soon as possible. 1t is best to rake
the soil Il inch deep and sow the
seed with the back of rake. Two
pounds of seed per 1000 So. #. is
enough.
A All County Council program
is now being planned. The meeting
will be held in the courthouse, Sat-
urdtay, October "a, at 1890 am.
Several matters of important busi-
ness will be discussed. The Council
will decide which camp Alters will
attend next year. It also needs to
discuss and plan the projects it will
sponsor in the county. All officers
in the local clubs throughout the
county are members of the County
Council. The County Council is an
organization and the
success of the All program de-
oends upon the Council for advice.
All the officers are urged to at
end this important County Council
Meeting.

Many wildfowl hunters antici-

son is about two weeks shorter
than in 195S-59, hunters believe
there will be plenty of fowl along
this coast, due to the prevalence of
grasses which appeal to wild
fowl.
While the season for goose and
brant opens November 10th, the
duck season doesn't open until No

reservations lave come to the
area.
