The Seaforth News, 1961-03-30, Page 15Bookshop Small Slut World Famous Longing to meet "the great Mr, Samuel Johnson," a literary lion hunter named James Boswell finally bagged his prey in Tom Davies' London bookshop, Ever since the days of that historic meeting in 1763, the peenomeri- en of the bookstore -salon --• the place where writing m'en can be encountered not only in print but in ,person — has had some kind of spotty survival some- where, Probably the nearest thing to this which the U,S, af- fords today is a narrow, step- down grotto in New York City's West 40's where Frances Stelotf, 74 — a white-haired lady in a dust smock — runs the Gotham Book Mart; Here, on a winter's evening not long ago, Brendan Behan hustled in from an insipidly tame appearance on the Jack Paar Show to address a meeting of Miss Steloff's James Joyce Society in the Book Mart's back room, On the air, Paar had made a sneering reference to ' the probable dullness of thebook- worms' get-together. Paar should bave gone along. Taking in a heac'y whiff of the. Book Mart's atmospheric dust, Behan plung- ed into a "J'yce lecture" — full of anecdote,song, and ribaldry - which packed enough enter- tainment value to keep Paar in business for the next year. The Gotham is a bottomless 'fountainhead for name dropping. Martha Graham — empress of t the modern dance — has helped wrap packages there during' the Christmas rush (out of abiding gratitude because, the Book Mart underwrote herfirst concert). Theodore Dreiser and H. L. Men- eken, full of good German beer, once dropped in of an afternoon 't' end created a bibliophile's treas- ure as a tipsy prank. Asked for an autograph by a customer, Mencken seized a finely bound Bible and signed it as author, with Dreiser countersigning as. "his disciple."' (The book wound up in the honeys Adolph :Lew! - man collection,) Most of the excitement which the Gotham holds, however, is a radiation of Miss Steloff's own feeling • for her books, This is a love affair "Which goes back. to 1907, a year when she thought she had reached felicity's pin- nacle because a Brooklyn de- partment store . pulled her out of the corset department and let her sell books during the Christ- mas season — at a princely wage of $7 a week. Later jobs in bookstores kept her close to the objects she lov- ed, but far removed from pros- perity, "For years," she said, "I never allowed myself snore than Ili cents for lunch — w'lreatcakes and hot chocolate at . Childs would fill me up the best," One day in 1920, she spied a space - for -rent sign in a brownstone basement. "I looked at that lit- tle room with the marble fire- place," she said, "and my spine lit up. I thought, what a' lovely little place for the bookshop I've always wanted!" It was $75 a month, and she only had. $100 to her name, but she rented it, and made a go of it. Nowadays, the catalog of the Gotham Book -Mart (still dim and Dickensian, though in different quarters) circulates worldwide, and visitors from as far away as New Zealand sometimes enter the shop with -a pilgrim air. "You don't grow .rich as a book- seller," Miss Steloff said, "but you make it up in the doctor's bills you don't have to pay. The only sad thought I have is that, probably within a generation, bookstores like this will have ceased to exist. All you'll have is self-service supermarkets for paperbacks." From NEWSWEEK We understand tax instructors have been asked to treat tax- payers 'with courtesy even though the customer isn't neves- ' eerily right. " ATTENTION -GETTER— Ira Schul- man, unemployed sc•lesma'n,, dramatizes. his job h'un't' with a donkey ride down Broad- way in New York. Schulman,' 23, said he just wanted to draw attention to his plight. When Sheer Courage Retained A Title, Some of the most memorable battles in the long history. of the prize -ring have been produced by boxing's Middleweight division, the 160 -lb: class. This division has. bestowed its crown on some of the most courageous•warriors the game has ever known. Such a warrior was a seeming- ly mild-mannered chap, born Anthony Florian Zaleski in Gary, Indiana, who became known to the boxing world as Tony Zale-. "The Man of Steel." Though already a champion and a veteran performer, _ Zale zoomed to true prominence and a place in history in his. three - beast series of heart -steppers with New York's brawling Rocky Graziano back in the late Forties. It was in the first of these ' ' epics, at New York's Yankee Ste - 'chum on Sept. 27, 19'46, that Zale really demonstrated what the world "Courage" means.• Tony was a 31 -year-old, ring rusty and utterly stale' middle- weight champion, who sat in his corner under the glare of the stadium lights that night, wait- ing to make the first defense of the title he'd won from, stylish Georgie Abrams five years earlier. The 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor had come just nine days after he'd been crowned king of his division, and Zale had seen his peak fighting years drift by in four years of war with the Navy. Now, with the added years and the slowed down reflexes that went with them, he found himself facing Rocky Graziano, a man younger, better condition- ed, and possessor of such destruc- tive punching power that he was, the new terror of the middle- weight class. While Tony had been gather- ing dust on the ring shelf,"Grazi- ano hadn't. In fact so spectacu- lar had been Rocky's rise, that his bombshell punching had all but obscured the fact that Zale had once been known for his th11n- der-pun.ching', too. Regarding the titleholder as champion in name only, the odds -makers ' had in- stalled the Rock as a 3-1 favorite in the pre -fight betting. As many another" veteran fighter has tried to do before and since, when faced with' younger, stronger opposition, Zale gam- bled on ending it in a hurry. Scarcely had the opening bell sent them. on their way. than MODERN. OUTRIGGER — For the sportsman who likes his canoeing but, not the chance of, sudden swim, these remov- able aluminum poni'o•on's have been designed. Tony uncorked a left hook that dumped the surprised Graziano on the deck. Shocked but unhurt, Rocky leaped' to his feet and be- gen pouring a non-stop volley of punches into Zale, that had him dazed, bloody and battered before the round Was half. over. Zale took the barrage standing up. In refusing to fall under the onslaught he only succeededin infuriating the ' challenger fur- ther, Graziano lashed the champion, Finally Zale crumpled -.but the bell saved him from being count- ed out, writes Gil . Smith in The Police Gazette, Dragged to his corner, Tony only had time to recover a frac- tion of his strength in the min- ute between rounds, Still dazed, he stumbled out to be a target for another savage battering in the second round. He seemed un- able to hit back with anything more than an occasional left, But while he reeled under the Rock's hammer blows, he stayed 'grimly on his feet, Through the • third, fourth and fifth punishing rounds, Zale' faltered badly at times but refused to ' go down. Graeiano's inability to topple the wreckin front of him, had the crowd roaring. By the end of the fifth the challenger was be- coming arm weary and :tale's incredible courage was on its way to becoming a legend. There was nothing in the first half of the bruising sixth to in- dicate that disaster was stalking Rocky Graziano. Zale, the tired old champion, was still in his ha'lcrouch, shouldering .his '•w'ay forward` into the' path of further barrages. He was looking through his puffed eyes for a sign of an opening. • As they reached the halfway mark through the sixth, Tony saw it! Tensing, but keeping his bat- tered face expressionless lest it betray What his eyes had noted, Zale shuffled just'a little closer. He moved his left within range. Then he sent a ripping hook to Ricky's midsection. The punish buried itself into the challenger's stomach. Graz- iano halted, shuddered, and sank cross-legged to the canvas:' He smiled emptily as he listened, to referee Ruby Goldstein toll off the count. He was on his haun- ches, still listening when Gold- stein shouted "Ten!" The instant • Ruby said it, Graziano stood up. He made an effgrtto resume the action.Butthe referee waved him away. The fight was over, and the middleweight crown still -' rested on the battered -Treed of Tony' Zale. The sudden ending touchedoff one of the wildest scenes in the 'history of Yankee Stadium. The time of the knockout was 1:43' of the sixth. While a thoroughly distraught but perfectly unmark- ed ' loser made his way to the dressing room, they; raised- the ,hand of a smiling but dump- - faced Tony Zale who resembled a 'man who had been 'beaten to a bloody pulp with a, club So tired that he could scarcely stay erect without the full, sup - 'port of his handlers, Zale had one significant footnote to add to, the night's story when interview- ed in his dressing room. He said: "I might have stopped him earlier, 'Capt I fractured ' my right hand in the second round." And with that kind of courage, • quiet -spoken Tony Zale added another page to the memorable history of the 160 -pound division. Canadians Work In .Kipling Country The border tribesmen of Kip- hng's breeohbolt-snicking time would be amazed if they could come back to witness a:ceremony today in their wild, rocky land. At a spot a score of miles out from Peshawar, near the. mouth of the Khyber Pass, President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Paki- stan ('himself a Pathan) is dedi- cating, the Warsak hydroelectric project, the biggest construction work to date in Pakistan's thir- teen -year history. Pakistan could not have done this $776 -million job alone. It is a joint enterprise, with Canada. For five years, teams''of Cana- dian engineers have worked out of Peshawar, and later on tile' site itself, living in part on the feeds of the country (buffalo butter, okra and black-eyed peas among them) as participants in the Colombo Plan, Perhaps be- cause it is little -publicized and so does not get much involved In international politics, the Co- lombo Plan is an effective or- ganization, Warsak is one of its' monuments. - Baltimore Sun How Can i?
