a All the boxing experts seem to think
that Rooky Murciano will knock out
England's Don Cockell in a hurry when
they fight in San Francisco, May 16.
The bout has been termed by the
experts a mss -match. Murciano is quoted ,
a 4-1 favourite, But old-timers remem-
ber the mighty John L. Sullivan who was quoted at 4-1 odds
when he met a slim, cocky, pornpadoured bank clerk named
Jim Corbett one September night in 1892. Corbett was unim-
pressed by John L's glares and roars, and systematically out
the hero down to size zero.
We recall that, back in 1914, the world middleweight
title was held by a rugged warrior from Pittsburg, George
Chip. He was matched to fight a rather nondescript boxer
whose ring tag was Al McCoy. McCoy was supposedly out-
classed. Chip walked from his corner and ten, seconds later,
be wasn't champion any more.
Then there was the Max Baer -Jimmy Braddock "mis-
match" of 1935. Baer had everything, including the heavy-
weight title. Braddock had nothing. He had just come off
the relief rolls. And at the end of 15 rounds Braddock was
world's heavyweight champion.
Of course, scores of mis-matches have gone the way they
were expected to go. Dempsey knocked off the slightly over-
grown Georges Carpentier, though this mis-match drew the
first silfllion-dollar gate.
The records would not indicate that Cockell has much
of a chance next week, He was knocked out by Randy Turpin
and Jimmy Slade and beaten by the incompetent likes of
Aaron Wilson. On the other hand, that happened when
COckeli 'was fighting as a light -heavy. As a heavyweight
Cockell has won ten in a row, four by kayo,
Many strange upsets of isle favourite's applecart have
occurred in the past. This could conceivably be one of them,
though we're not predicting it.

Here is the story of Canada
Lee, a story to inspire anyone
who thinks that handicaps mean
defeat and failure. For Canada
Lee made every handicap a
hurdle to success.
About twenty-five years ago,
he bobbed up as a jockey. He
won many races, at Belmont, at
Pimlico, Saratoga, New Orleans.
The turf world acclaimed him
41a a great jockey, as good as any
the track had ever seen.
However, the time came when
Canada Lee became too heavy
to work as a jockey. His career
was at an end. But Canada Lee
Burned elsewhere. Strangely
enough, he took up music,
learned to play the violin. He
did so well that the newspapers
began to praise his concerts to
the skies. -
Then, one day, Canada Lee
deserted his concert work. He
suddenly blossomed out as, of
all things, a prizefighter. He be-
came one of the cleverest
welter -weights in the world.
Three times he fought for the
world's championship. Then
came a serious blow. The doc-
tors told Canada Lee he would
have to give up the ring. The
sight of one eye had gone com-
pletely. He was in danger of
going entirely blind.
Canada Lee was a washed-up
prizefighter. But he wasn't
washed up as a man. For one
night, the amusement world
was startled, Canada Lee be-
came a great stage star with a
superlative performance in the
lead of "Native Son!" Later
came another bombshell. He had
a magnificent part in the mo-
tion picture "Lifeboat" Other
parts followed.
Today, Canada Lee is an es-
tablished star of stage and
screen. The ex -jockey, enc-vi0-
linist, ex -prizefighter had sur-
mounted every handicap life
could offer. He is worthy of the
highest praise for his accomp-
lishments.

Do you remember the once
glamorous beautiful motion pic-
ture star Carol Lombard? In a
way, she was responsible for
an exciting chapter in sports
history.
A few years before she lost
her life in a tragic airplane
crash while: flying on a war mis-
sion for the U.S. Government,
Carol Lombard, the famous mo-
tion picture star helped salvage
the broken career of a fine girl
athlete. That girl was danger-
ously ill. She had collapsed dur-
ing a tennis match in Europe
and had returned to America,

little hope for her recovery, cer-
tainly none for her futur, in
sports. Then one day, Carol
Lombard came to visit that sick,
heartbroken girl, and to inspire
her to fight for her life, thee,
famous movie star told the girl
her own story, how once, she
too, had been a hopeles. in-
valid, but had refused to quit
and went on to great fame and
fortune in Hollywood. Inspired
by Carol Lombard's personal
story of courage, that sick girl
athlete recovered and went on
to become probably the greatest
woman tennis champion of all
time—Alice Marble.
Years ago, in a town in
Pennsylvania, two brothers,
were all set to become profes-
sional baseball players. But their
father, a music teacher, turned
"thumbs down" on the idea. He
insisted they follow in his pro-
fession, and to interest his two
sons in music, he bought for
them musical instruments to
practice on. And so, America
came to know two of its most
famous band leaders, Tommy
and Jimmy Dorsey.

The Older Worker
The heads of most large cor-
porations are often well along
in years, a vigorous 65 or 70.
Some have even reached 80.
But, too often, these same cor-
porations follow a policy of not
hiring people over 40 or 50.
Age discrimination has re-
sulted in dumping thousands of
healthy, a c t i v e, middle-aged
men and women at the height
of their skills on the 'unemploy-
ment scrap heap. Forty and 50
has become the arbitrary gate-
way beyond which a man or a
woman shall not pass if unem-
ployed and who seeks a new
connection. Many women of 40,
especially in business offices, are
daily confronted with the same
age barrier.
By 1975, acording to the Cen-
sus Bureau, the number of per-
sons 45 and over will be snore
than 83 million. No wages for
these persons means curtailed
spending power, lower stand-
ards of living, no income taxes
"to pay.
Leading the fight against this
age discrimination policy, poten-
tially disastrous to the nation's
economy, is the Forty Plus Club
of New York City.

The Fotry Plus Club is a co-
operative nonprofit organiza-
tion of mature men who work
without compensation for one
another, Their greatest reward,
next to getting jobs for them-
selves, is helping to get a job
for the other fellow.
Every working day of the year
they are in the field, at their own
expense, calling on employers
to show that there is no substi-
tute for the experience and
know-how of the older worker.
But why, in these prosperous
times, is all this work necessary?
First, prejudice against the
'aged' in business and industry
seems widespread. Also, pension
plans are formidable barriers.
The premium paid by the em-
ployer to an insurance company
to .enable an employee of 50 to
receive a pension at 6D is much
higher than for a man of .30.
A full-blown congressional
probe is needed to uncover the
extent to which the worker is
discriminated against by reason
of age and also by pension plans.
Such an investigation would
demonstrate that fair -employ-
ment practices legislation is
sorely needed .. .
So far as The Star -Journal
and Chieftain are concerned we
have in our employ a number
of men and women who are over
40 and 50 years of age and they
are among our most efficient

Loved Those Nits
Ballplayers ere a queer lot and
it is best for their wives not to
mix to much in their baseball
lives.
Several baseball seasons ago,
Rube Lutzke was a Cleveland
third baseman. A ballplayer
loves his base hits more than
anything in the world. Lutzke
was no exception. One day he
played a whale of a game and
hit four for four. That after-
noon, he came home whistling,
and happily kissed his wife as
she met him at the door.
"Well, honey, I got four hits
out of four times at bat, today,"
he told his wife. "Guess that's
smacking the old pill, eh?"
A few days later, Cleveland
played a double header and
third -baseman Lutzke went to
bat eight times and failed to get
a single hit When he came home
that day, his wife met him at
the door and asked:
"Well, honey, how many hits
did you get today?"
For a moment, Rube Lutzke
was speechless, and then he
barked at his better half:
"Listen, you attend to the
cooking for this family and I'll
do the hitting."
However, his wife had to have
the last word. For she looked at
her ballplaying-husband disdain-
fully and snapped back: "What
hitting?"
Gardener's L'nsigo
The nonsuburbanite, especial-
ly if he is an apartment dwel-
ler, is out of the conversational
running these days. He can't
boast of any radishes, lettuce
and onions already in the
ground, of any blooming daf-
fodils or magnolias. He can't
follow the cryptic discourse
about mulches, perennials, lawn
sowing, shrub moving. Worse
still, he has to remain complete-
ly out of the argument over
whether it's better to plant
early or late.
He soon gathers that those
addicted to early planting feel
very proud of themselves as up
and coming types who keep
ahead in every race. They are
confident of having the first ripe
tomatoes, the first edible new
potatoes in their neighborhoods.
But the cautious late planters
regard themselves as calm, sa-
gacious turtles who will win the
race in the long run. They will
wait until the ground Is well
