"How -do, Daddy,''. Says Tike 0/ TV—Television played postman for polio patient Jack Shad -
ley. In a hospital for six months, Shadley kept wondering how his year-old baby, Rebecca
Ann), looked 'since he saw her last. A letter by Mrs. Shad.ley to a television station turned the
trick. The station arranged for Rebecca Ann and her mother to appear as ";Vest stars." While
Shadley watched from his hospital bed., Rebecca tossed her dark curls, smiled and said
'How -do," te the obvious delight of her dad. .
Since "Sugar" Ray Robinson took
the middleweight boxing champion-
ship from Jake Lalvlotta, people
are beginning to compare him with
some of the great middles of former
clays -•-.men like Jack "Nonpareil"
Dempsey, Bob Fitzsimmons, Kid
McCoy, Mickey Walter, Harry
Grab and all the rest of them. In
fact, some of the experts are even
going so far as to say that Robin-
son is the best of them all.
*
Well, there's no doubt that Sugar
Ray is a mighty sweet piece of
fighting machinery, and it's hard
to pick a flaw in him, But putting .
him in the same class with Stanley
Ketchel, the Michigan Assassin—
•ihat, friends, is going a bit too
far. For, as Arthur Daley says, there
are plenty of folks—men who really
know what they are tacking about
--who firmly believe that Ketchel
was in a class by himself, that
there never was a ringman to com-
pare with him, any weight.
y :k*
Ketchel was a comet who blazed
'briefly but fiercely across the fistic
horizon. He wasn't quite 17 when
he fought his first professional
light. He was just 23 when he
fought his last one, a few months
before he was slain by an assassin's ..
bullet. "I'll die before I'm 30,"
he had predicted. He overestimated
his life span.
* '5 *
But in those brief years he es-
tablished himself as the greatest of
The great. He lost only two bouts,
both by knockouts and both under
=usual circumstances. Of the 59
he won, this fighting freak won
47 by knockouts. He had the ef-
frontery and the punch to knock
flown Jack Johnson, the heavy-
weight champion. He had the con-
summate skill to outpoint the fabu-
lous boxing master, Philadelphia
Jack O'Brien.
There is a story that Francis Al-
bertanti loves to tell. It's been told
often before but it can stand re-
peating because it illustrates the
frenzied idolatry Ketchel com-
manded. When Mickey Walker was
in his prime, a quite inebriated
gentleman sidled alongside and be-
gan to pile on the praise.
"Yesh, Mick," he bellowed, "You-
're the greatest fighter of 'ern all."
"Greater than Ketchel?" needled
Francis.
"Ketchel?" screamed the drunk,
turning on Walker with a snarl.
"Ya couldn't lick one side of Ket-
chel, ya bum, ya."
* b
The first knockout of the Michi-
gan Assassin carne at the hands of
Billy Papke, an outstanding chal-
lenger himself. They'inet at ring
centre and Ketchel casually reached
out his gloves for the formal hand-
shake. Papke 'fired in a "sucker
punch" that blinded Ketchel. Fight -

her new artificial legs which.
replaced those she lost when
hit .by a motor boat while
swimming in Lake Tahoe in
1949. Her accident, given wide
attention when it happened,
prompted California and Nev-
ada legislatures to take action
restricting boat speed on Lake
Tahoe.

Lilliputian Dream ---These two men aren't lost in the land of
Lilliptit. They are .lord Motor Company officials who as using
66 miniature models to study proposed colors for 1952 Fords.
The one-eighth scale cars, which are painted with actual baked,
enamel finishes, were displayed in the styling showroom. The
models do riot represent future body styles, but color selections
from this group will be applied to a limited number of fuli-
scale models for final approval.
ing only on instinct, Stanley lasted
;until the twelfth round whe,i the
referee mercifully Stopped the
slaughter.
Two months later there was
re -match. Ketchel did not offer to.•,
shake hands. In the cruellest. ex- .
hibition the ring has ever seen, -
he heartlessly sliced Papke
bons. He could have knocked hir17.:•
out in the first round. But just as •
Papke would start to topple, Stanley
would brace hien up, let hint re-
cover and then punish hien some '
more. By, the eleventh round Papke's
bloody hulk was beyond be'ug prop
ped. Not until then did Ketchel dis-'
dainfully finish him with one
punch.
But the most brazen exhibition
of .his career was against Johnson,
where he was outweighed by at
least thirty pounds. Theheavy-
weight champion, however, still
had his troubles with this fighting
fury who held the middleweight
crown. In the twelfth round Ket-
ches right crashed on Johnson's.
jaw and the big fellow thundered
to the canvas. He swung back from
the floor and knocked out the
Mighty Mite.
5
Those were the only defeats he
ever experienced. It was no wond
der then that he sent his famous
telegram just' before his bout with
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. He sent
it to his father. It read:
"I won the fight, Stanley."
1 * *
Accompanying hint to the tele-
graph office was Nat Fleischer,
the ring historian. "Do you always
send such telegra s3s,before'a fight?".
he spluttered.
"He likes to 'know," explained
Stanley, "and it always comes out,
like I say."
'5 4 :k
In the first round of his match
with Frank Klaus, another of the
great fighters of some forty -odd
years ago, the Assassin smashed
over a terrific right that caught
Klaus on the top of his head.
4 '5
"You bashed your hand that time,
didn't you?" taunted Klaus, He was
correct. Ketchel had broken his
hand.
"Yes, I busted iy hand," snarled
Stanley. "But I still can lick you
with one hand." He did, too,
They built a huge granite tomb-
stone over his grave. "Stanley could
punch a hole in that tombstone,"
said a mourner softly. Maybe he
could.
These Jurors Had
Really Secret Voting.
For twelve long hours, five Art-
ist jurors judged over 500 entries
for the approaching 79th Annual
Show of the Ontario Society of
Artists to be held at the Art Gal-
lery of Toronto, from March 9th
to April 15th, 1951. From this un-:'
precedented entry list a most sel-
ect and representative exhibition
consisting of 100 works was selec- ''
ted from paintings and sculpture,
' corning from nearly every province
in Canada.
The jurors, voting secretly, had
their votes recorded on an electric
panel of lights, seen only by the
secretary. A push button switch,
held by each juror, instantly reg-
istered each affirmative vote. By
this method, a' completely unbiased
opinion wac reached and only an
extremely high standard of work
was accepted for hanging. The
jury agreed that the coming exhi-
bition is perhaps the finest yet in
the O. S. A.'s 79 years of Canadian
Art History.
The Jury of Selections was elec-
ted by the members of the Ontario
Society of Artists, It comprised a
group of five nationally -known ar-
tists;.J, W. G. Macdonald, Yvonne
Mc.Kague Housser, 3, Sydney Hal -
lain, Bobs Haworth, and R. York
Wilson. Clceve Horne, President
of the O. S. .A. was the Chairman,
with Herbert S. Palmer and Fred
Finley assisting.
Overheard: "You get it, dear.
Your legs are younger than spine."
"yes, Mui'rimie, but they've got
to Rant longer."

Blown Quarter Mile
Yet Landed Unhurt
When ' a sudden cyclone swept
imer .the, island of Farquhar, in the
w Seychelles, recently it was so de-
`0astated that most of its eighty in-
habitants became homeless and
more than half of their possessions
were lost. A 100 -ton schooner, which
was loading copra, was blown on to
the beach and wrecked, but .her
crew escaped.
•Cyclones are among the most
4''ngerous freaks of nature. A fear-
ful :cyclone in 1926 completely de-
'" strayed a town in Paraguay and
killed.more than 200 people. At
least inety per cent, of the build -
hies were destroyed.
Another cyclone carried sand
from. the Sahara out to sea and
flung it on the deck of a ship 200
miles from the African coast, cover -
ink it a quarter of an inch thick.
'When a cyclone struck the town of
,'.E irksville, Missouri, note, letters
an papers blown from the city
.-were picked up next day ninety
ithles away in the state of Iowa.
tie same cyclone whisked up two
women and a child and' dropped
them on a common a quarter of a
toile away so gently that none of
then was hurt.
Cyclones usually conte swiftly in
the form of huge, rapidly -revolving
whirlwinds some thirty miles in
diameter. After one had ripped the
tops off scores of houses in the
I3ernese Juras, an old woman was
discovered in a roofless house count-
ing and recounting her shall hoard
of money which had been scattered
among the debris. This cyclone also
wrecked twenty farms and razed an
entire forest.
'Material damage estimated at
$60,000,000 was done, by a disas-
trous cyclone which swept over
Cuba and the West Indies about
twenty-five years ago. Ten towns
and villages were wiped out, u50
people were killed and 6,500 left
homeless. One result of this cyclone
was the building of refuges of solid
concrete to which people could flee
when a similar disaster threatened.
