Zurich Herald, 1953-10-15, Page 7A young member of our fam-
ily has something of a craze for
collecting books and magazines
about sport — which is Okay
with us, seeing that he pays for
them himself. But we are rather
amazed at the continuous flow
of such literachoor which pours
front the presses of various pub-
lishers.
Of course much of the ma-
terial contained in such books—
we are not referring to sports
fiction — is by no means new;
in fact some of the tales, such
as the one about Babe Ruth's
"calling his shot" before park-
ing a homer in the Chicago
bleachers — have been told so
often that we feel like scream-
ing when we sense it coming
up again. So the interest to be
found in such books, especially
those about baseball and boxing,
depends not on what is told, but
how the telling is done.
One book we can recommend,
although it is by no means new.
is Bi11 Stern's "Favorite Boxing
Stories." The eminent Mr. Stern
is not always strictly accurate,
it is said, as to his facts. His
judgments do not always coin-
cide with our own — which
doesn't mean that either of tis is
right But what he has to de
scribe he tells in a highly read-
able manner, and if you're look-
ing for a book to slip in the
pocket for when the fish aren't
biting, you can't do better.
All of which, as you've prob-
ably guessed, is just a nice way
of getting around the fact that
we're about to purloin one of
Mr. Stern's stories. So — here
it is:
No bandit ever left a town
more completely looted than Jack
Kearns did when he was the
manager of the great champion,
Jack Dempsey. The town that
Kearns picked clean was a lit-
tle place called Shelby, in the
.sovereign state of Montana.
It seems that a pretty good
heavywegiht named Tom Gib-
bons was hot on the trail of the
then champinon of the world,
Jack Dempsey. Kearns was
smart enough to know that the
Modern Papoose—Latest in baby

iigned by Lois Lignell, it's made

fight, if arranged, would not am-
ount to much. Gibbons was a
fairly clever boxer but he was
far from being a match for the
fiery, hard -punching champion.
Still, business was business. If
any promoter felt sassy enough
to put on the match, Kearns was
;., willing to listen to reason, rea-
eson meaning honey, of course.
Enthusiasm among the entre-
preneurs was far from high. The
fight did not promise to draw
much at the gate, and the offers
we>l♦♦;e„ none too liberal.
rt was at this point in the pro-
ceedings that the little town of
Shelby, Montana, stepped into
the picture. loot satisfied with re-
maining the happy, prosperous
little place that it was, Shelby
sought fame and prominence in
the --7orld. The leading citizens
of the town made a startling bid
for the fight between Dempsey
and Gibbons. For the defense of
his title, Dempsey was offered
$200,000 on the spot, and an ad-
ditional $100,000 on the day of
the fight
No more welcome music had
ever sounded in Jack Kearn's
ears. The offer was snapped up
before you could say sucker. The
fight was set in Shelby for July
"4 , 1923. The townspeople con-
gratulated themselves on the
prize plum they had plucked
from the fistic tree. Little did
they know what misfortune they
had brought down en themselves.
As the day of the fight ap-
R :I k
proached, the people of Shelby,
Montana, finally came to realize
that they had overstepped them-
selves badly. The balance of
money that was due to Kearns
could not be raised.
On the eve of the fight, the
local promoters came to Jack
Kearns' hotel with their troubles.
There was a fine sum of $43,000
available to pay him off; would
it be enough?
Kearns sneered at the offer.
He waved the contract before
their faces and demanded the
hundred thousand due him. They
begged him to take what he could
get and. let the fight go on.
Kearns said no money, no fight.
The local folks said the town was
stone broke. Kearns lit a fresh
cigar. Voices began to rise.
Words were said that might bet-
ter have been left unsaid. A
terrific battle followed, fists flew
through the air, heads were
conked. In the excitement, the
sheriff of Shelby who was acting
as chairman, got in the way of a
„ stray bullet.
From all the ruckus Jack
Kearns emerged triumphant, as
usual. The town, at the end of
its resources, somehow found the
looney to pay him off. The fight
took place and it was a dull af-
fair won by Dempsey on points.
When it was over, Kearns and
his crowd took the first train out
of Shelby. Behind them they left
a ruined, busted town. The lead-
ing bank 'had closed its doors.
The citizens had lost their sav-
ings. It was a fearful price to
pay for a bunch of soon -to -be -
forgotten headlines.

"Hollywood is a city lined with
palms—all of them itching."

Never Gets Stale
A revolution is beginning in
the bread industry. American
housewives will benefit first, but
the idea was born in the Arctic
when Admiral Byrd 'al his last
expedition found that some bread
left in a hut under 20 feet of
snow for years before was still
edible and fresh.
When a loaf is baked its great-
est loss of flavour and "newness"
takes place in the first 12 hours
after leaving the oven. This can
be prevented by freezing bread
immediately it has been baked.
A large baking company in
New York State is putting frozen
bread on the market. They intend
'to distribute bread throughout
the United States, transporting it
lit refrigerated trucks and keep-
ing it in cold storage.
,Par from increasing bread
costs, they believe it will bring
down the price of a loaf. Bakers
will not have to work overtime
or at week - ends and holiday
times. T h e heavy wastage of
stale bread will be eliminated.
Shops will be able to stock bread
once a week or once a fortnight
and it will remain fresh in their
cold stores,
It is also claimed that the
housewife will be able to buy a
week's supply of bread at a time,
but this seems doubtful. Will the
refrigerator be big enough
to h o 1 d the week's supply
of loaves and rolls as well as
other foods? However, some ex-
perts in the bakery trade believe
that frozen bread will be com-
monplace in five years' time —
and the bread on the table will
always be "new."

would probably begin at 10 perent.
On both counts he would:,".wrong.
The education committees 'fie Canadian Manufacturers
Association has just conn let <Qi 'Illation p Da wide survey. � Mr.
W. E. Weaver, the committeehairman,. has released the
figures which show that forever"Y one dollar of sales of Can-
adian manufactured goods in 1952, profit amounted to only
five cents. Of that five cents, 2.2, cents went out in dividends,
and 2.8 cents were ploughed back into the business.
And what about taxes? ;
Federal and pr$vincial taxes on manufacturing income
average out at 5.1 cents per sales' dollar. Taxes thereby beat
profits by one tenth of a cent per; $1 of sales.
This C.M.A. committee started making these surveys five
years ago, to combat public miseenceptions about the size of
manufacturing profits. It is noteworthy that in 1948, profit
was 6.2 cents. In 1950 when corporate taxes were lower, it
jumped to 7.1 cents. In 1951, with'taxes still rising, it dropped
to 5.8 cents and in 1952 with taxes still on the rise, it was five
cents.
