Sonny Roy Finds Ryan An
Easy Mark; Stops
Opponent In LIST Round

Chicago amp - Sonny Ray
of Chicago, who gained national
prominence by defeating high-re-
garded Jesse Bowdry of st. Louis
three straight times played the
spoilers role to the hilt again in
the stadium last Wednesday night.
The lanky light heavyweight
scored a quick one-round knockout
over Irish Billy Ryan of Lowell,
Mass, in the featured nationally
televised hereunder on the stadi-
um card. He stopped Ryan without
even working up a good sweat.
Ryan, a protege of Allie Col
jumbo, former school pal and ad-
wiser to Rocky Marciano, had come
to Chicago nursing a Pickering
ambition of some day fighting for
the heavyweight title.
However, Ray quickly discour-
aged any such further thinking, as
he put Billy down for a mandatory
eight count and then finished him
off with a furry of blows ending
with a right.

Baton Rouge, La. (ANP) -
Heartened by successes during the

try to capture also the basketball
and baseball titles.
The Cats posted a 80 record in
winning the SWAC football title

the SWAC championship but gave
a good account of itself in some
of the major meets asross the ma
ton.
The baseball team, the 1859 de-
Tending NAIA champions, went all
the way to the semi-final at Sioux
City, Ia, before losing to Georgia
Southern college.
The basketball team tied for
third place in the conference.

dams, fresh from his strange off
field antics during the first 1850
All-Star game, tangled with Earl
Battey, Washington Senators cat
cher during a game here recently
but quick action by players and
the umpires prevented either from
getting hurt.
The tussle took place in the sixth
inning of the first game of a
double header, as Vic attempted to
score on a tight play. He was
called out at the plate, as Battey
threw a block into his path.
Power was called out. He then
took offense at a remark by Bat
tey, who apparently thought Pow
err came in with his spikes a little
too high Vic swung at Earl and
the two grappled until they were
broken up.

Bee Strings
Con Be EofcI

Bee stings annually account for
tht deaths of more American than
the combined total of deaths due
to snake bites and all other ven
omous reptiles.
Many medical authorities are
convinced that the severe reactions
which may result from a bee sting
are due to an allergy. Medical re-
search indicates that severe reac-
tons to bee stings occur more fire.
quently than generally supposed.
A number of authorities even be-
lieve that some of the sudden
deaths attributed to heart failure
and heat prostration during the
warm weather season are actually
the result of an unrecognized aller-
gy to a bee sting. The honeybee,
the bumblebee and three kinds Of
wasps-yellow jackets, hornets and
Polistes-are the culprits respon-
sible for the most severe types
of allergic reactions resulting from
insect bites. There are, however, at
least twenty-five other varieties OF
insects whose bites or stings are
capable of producing allergic reac-
tons in man.
Yellow jackets are easily irritat-
ed and account for the majority of
insect stings. Less likely to sting
are honeybees and bumblebees.
The Minnesota State Medical
Association lists the following
points which can be of help in
avoiding insect stings.
Bees and wasps usually sting
only when their nests are threat
ened or they are actually touched.
Singing insects are more apt
to attack a fast moving object be-
cause they are sensitive to air
movements and sudden motion.
Bees seem to be angered by
dark shades, whereas white or
khaki clothing does not bother
them.
To keep yellow jackets and
bees from gathering at picnic tab
les, spray the area with a repellent
chemical.
Bees and wasps are attracted
by hair oils and perfumes which
contain floral odors.
Make certain that there are
no nests of yellow jackets, bees or
other wasps in the immediate area
of your house or yard. Killing a
nest is a tricky business and only
trained persons should attempt an
determination job.
