NEW YORK, Feb. II (AP) -
Young Denny Meyer of Port

loss to Sugar Ray Robinson by
hammerlng out a decisive 10
round decision over the former
WelterWeight and middleWeight
champion tonight at Madison
Square Garden.
Meyer, a 81 underdog
weighed 159 to Robinson's
1874.

had Meyer in front 7-2-1.
Robinson had won a narrow
unpopular decision over Moyel
at the Garden last October q
and had a winning streak Of
four. Meyer. who hadn't fought
since his close one with Robin
son, had been champing at the
bit waiting while Robinson
twice postponed the return
fight.
The baby-faced Meyer made
up for it tonight. He treated
the one-time great of the rine
like a preliminary boy. He hurt
Sugar Ray in the third, fifth
ninth and tenth rounds.
Although blood trickled from
Meyers nose from the frs
round on, the stocky Oregoniar
went after Robinson like
tiger. He pounded the veteran
with hooks to the body ane

Anyone who would have
dared to lead with his righ'

Woodland added 81, his best

Largest Bowie Crowd
Sees Rare Rice Score
1876 Fans
7 urn Out for
Sunny Day
By JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor


It was snowless DAY at
Bowie yesterday and the largest
crowd of the 1862 season.
18,796-en5oying the hint-of-
spring weather, watched Rare
Rice upset a field of nine
sprlnterS in the $ll,275 South
ern Maryland handicap.
Because of Rare Rice's poor
performance in the Burch Han
dicap at Bowie a week ago, most
of the bettors gave Mrs. Ada
L. Rice's 5-year-old Scant con-
sheraton. The track officially
was rated as muddy today. 1t
was designated as sloppy for
the Burch, when Rare Rice fin
ished 18th and next to last.
But Rare Rice, with Nick
Shuk aboard, came out of the
safe running yesterday, gained
command after a quarter mile
in the 6-furlong dash, and
threw mud at his opponents
through the stretch as he coast
ed to g tWo-length victory at
$3.50 for 50.
The contest was for place

afternoon, complained of a leg

He covered the muddy six fur
longs in 1:13l5.
Two Trains Lost
Despite the pleasant change
IN the weather yesterday. Bowie
was not without its customary
hitch in proceedings. A freight
train wreck north of Baltimore
closed the Pennsylvania Rail-
road main line for several
hours and Cancelled the two
race specials from Philadel-
phia.
But despite the loss of some
patronage from the North, bet

An Editorial
WITH OHIO SECOND IN INDUSTRY
You Don't Kill The Goose!
An Editorial

to improve our schools and universities,
our mental hospitals and welfare serv-
ices. But his political opponents have
constantly insisted that, in providing
these additional services for the people
of Ohio, he was chilling the business
climate of the state.
The only possible basis for their
argument, curiously, was the fact that
Ohio dropped from second place to
fourth place industrially in the year
before Governor Disable took office.
Thus the recent report that Ohio
more than recovered all the ground lost
industrially in the O'Neill administra-
ton during the first year of Governor
DiSalle's administration thoroughly de-
molishes all those prophecies of doom
levelled against him.
What his enemies had counted upon
to be Governor DiSalle's greatest handi-
cap in this falls campaign has become,
instead, in the Governors own words
lone of the proudest achievements in
this administration"
Now his Republican opponents have
not only lost their issue. It has BOOM
eranged against them.
Ohio is proudly back in second place
in industrial production. Furthermore,
another report from the Bureau of Un-
employment Compensation shows that
in 1859, when the state was surging
ahead in industrial expansion, it added
better than 100000 jobs to its economy.
For both these gains Governor Di-
Sale rightly says labor and manage
ment should share the credit. But a
goodly portion is certainly due the Gov
ernor who stuck to his guns and con-
tinued to give Ohio progressive govern
ment because he does not believe that
what is good for people must be bad for
business.
And with the Ohio Chamber of Com
merce itself telling all and sundry that
"Ohioans have reason to be encouraged"
by the industrial progress the state has
made under the Disable administration,
it seems most unlikely that the voters
in November will want to kill the goose
that lays the golden eggs.
Geauga record. [volume] (Chardon, Geauga County, Ohio) 1952-1962, 1962-07-05

What may prove to be the most eff
fective political document of this years
gubernatorial contest is currently be-
ing distributed by the Ohio Chamber
of Commerce.
It is a single letter-size sheet her
aiding Ohio's climb to second place
among the industrial states of the Un-
ion in 1859, according to the latest fig
ures of the Bureau of Census.
On the front is a letter by William
T. Blair, director of the Chambers In
dustrial Development Department, say
ing that Gin view of the spirited COM
petitive struggle among the states for
industrial growth, Ohioans have reason
to be encouraged by the 1859 Annual
Survey of Manufacturers " which re-
vealS that "Ohio showed the largest
growth of any state in value added by
manufacture in 1859, as compared to
1883"
On the back is reproduction of a
page from Bulletin by the United
States Department of Commerce say
ing: "Ohio took a giant step forward,
moving up industrially from fourth to
second place in the nation from 1858 to
1859. In this move Ohio displaced Cali
fornia and Illinois which had held Sec
ond and third place in 1883"
Encouraging progress, the Bulletin
said significantly: GAS firms seek new
locations for plants, it is not uncommon
to gravitate to those states where in
dustry is showing activity through
growth"
And why is this industrial report
likely to be so important politically,
especially in the gubernatorial race in
Ohio this fall?
Well, these facts and figures from
the Bureau of the Census, the most
reliable source for such information re-
fute completely the often heard charges
the politically-oriented prophets of
Gloom and Doom have been hurting
since 1899.
Few persons have denied that Gov
ernor Michael V. Disable has been an
honest, hard-working, able Governor.
