And reallv the founder of the Enako- uravnost did not look as if he could carry on as he did because the fight and the struggle did not improve his stature any. But even in those days vvheii there vvas fight and the days and nights vvere filled vvith vvork that wqfuld have broken any man, he vvould not break.

Another Head,,.. Kolikor jezikov znaš—toliko glav veljaš—Slovene Proverb The Slovene proverb quoted, like many other Slo¬ vene proverbs, hak much in it that is the truth. Literally mterpreted it cannot be said that it is the complete truth because of the very nature of the human creature but the more thought that is given to it the more the truth be- comes real and the sagicity more apparent. Even if the idea of the Slovene is taken away it must be granted that the proposition that there is much truth and a truth that is being accepted by a great many people who in their education and in their daily lives show that the proverb has an essence of truth. Foreign languages and even scientifie languages such as Esperanto and Ido are being studied and taught in our educational institutions so that those who are at- tending can have the advantages of knowing more lang¬ uages than the one they have learned because of the ne- cessity of carrying on the daily communication between people in their daily lives. And the schools which are teaching the languages are being patronized and the foreign languages are being studied not only by pupils vvho want to have a certain chic and a certain amount of class by being able to quote some phrases in the foreign language they have studied but by those who find that the acquisition of the foreign language is of such import- ance that they go to the trouble of attending classes to 'learn the language. Languages no matter which they are have something of concrete value about them and each in its turn serves as a key to the completely new horizon which would be a closed view to those who do not know several lang¬ uages. Of late the Slav languages have become more and more prominent and with the close of the World War and with the granting of freedom to a great many of the Slav nationalities there has been a great scramble to learn any language which will serve as the key to the vast amount of culture and thought that is for the ask- ing of those vvho will learn the Slav languages. Com- mercially the Slav languages are becoming more and more important. Slav countries are opening treasure houses by their industry and with the application of A- merican genius’ and American money they are looked to as future commercial nations of the world. Aside from the commercial value there is a cultural value that the knovvledge of foreign languages posseses which makes one educated simply because it opens an avenue to the culture of new people and to the methods of life that are different. In our complex life of American society and its far almost warrents the learning of more languages than onhy English. The great number of people who make up the American peop/e who have come from other lands and brought other cultures which are important and which should be studied so that the most can be gotten from vvithout a great of fumbling. Slovenes, vvho are not ashamed of the birthright- Slovene parents have an advantage vvhich others do not have. The Slovene belongs to the family of a group of languages in whlch the knovvledge of one is the key tc ali the others. Aside from the fact that there should be some kind of filial duty in learning that language of the parents vvho have done so much for their children, is im portant as the key to the other Slav languages- vvhich car be mastered vvith only simple effort. Every new language acquired can be truly said to be the creation of an extra person and an extra intelligence which opens Vistas to the view that would be closed te the mind if the particular language vvoulcl not be acquir- ed. Every language stands for a particular culture anc' particluar system of thought vvhich makes the one vvhc knovvs them more and more important to the communitv in vvhich he lives. He can take the plače of as many per- sons as the languages he talks. Commercial firms are partial to people who can speak more languages than one and they prefer to have people vvho have thč commanc of more languages than only one. If the commercial and money earning values vvere not there it is good to know Slovene and having the ke? to other Slav languages merely from the fact that it is 2 duty of everv Slovene young man and young vvoman every boy and girl to know the language of their parentf for no greater tribute can be given to a father ancl a mo ther than to speak the language they know best. Certainly enough cultural background lies behind the languages to make it vvorth the vvhile to learn the language and in that way become vvorth more heads than one by knowing sev¬ eral languages. low temperature could be main- teined. Yet the materials which thus become perfect conductors at such low temperatures are the poorer conductors at ordin¬ at temperatures. “\Vihile man never has exper- ienced a temperature of -459 Fahrenheit,” according to Dr. F. G. Brickwedde, in charge of the low temperature laboratory, “it is far from a mere speculation to say that it is impossible to go any lower. Cold, according to the laws of physics, cannot be infinite. If it were possible to attain lower temperatures one "night build an engine, similar to a steam engine, capable of operating at such low tempera¬ tures, vvhich would give out more energy in work than was put into it to operate it. This, like oerpetual motion, vvould be con trary to the establisht-d princi¬ pih of the conservation of ener- gy. Although the constructipn of such an engine woiild be im¬ possible, the conclusion is very sound.” IT u . S. Government Seeks “Lowest” Temperature Efforts to attain tempera¬ tures between 450 and 459 de- grees belovv zero, Fahrenheit, are being made in the low tem¬ perature laboratory of the U. S. Bureau of Standards at Wash- ington. The primary object of the research is to liquify helium gas for use in studying the pe- culiar behavior of various sub- stances subjected to extremely low temperatures. A temperature of 453 degrces below zero must be reached in order to liquify helium gas, 01 six degrees higher than the lovv- est possible attainable tempera¬ ture. The first step in making liquid helium is to produce li- quid hydrogen, which is accorn- plished by subjecting the gas to a pressure of 2,000 pounds to reaching influence especially its economic prospeiHty the square inch, after -vvhich it is cooled by liquid air to a tem¬ perature of 310 degrees belovv zero. Then a supply of helium as pure as can be obtained by refining processes is compfessed to a pressure of 200 pounds to the square inch, after which the compressed gas is cooled with liquid air and liquid hydrogen to the temperature of the lat- ter, 423 degrees below zero. The helium is stili a gas even at this temperature. The next step is to allovv the helium to expand, thereby, producing ad- ditional refrigeration and lovv- ering the temperature of the helium to 453 degrees, at vvhich it liquifies. In making liquid helium it is first necessary to insure a plentiful supply of li- quid hydrogen, vvhich is pro- duced in the same laboratory. The scientists have learned that certain materials at ex-, tremely ’low temperatures lose their resistance to an electrie The calibration of .platinum 'esistance thermometers vvhere- by temperatures can be deter nined to one-thousandth of a degree Centigrade by the :hange of the resistance offered by a platinum wire to an elec- ;ric current vvhich responds cor- respondingly to the tempera¬ ture of the metal, is another feature of the lovv temperature Laboratory research. Changes even smaller can be detected by this method.

Is Mr. Coolidge “ghosting” bis daily syndicated feature, vvhich started the first of the month. There are those vvho have diffi- culty reconciling “Calvin Cool¬ idge Says” to Mr. Coolidge vvrit- ings as president and, more ie- cently, as contributor to various magazines. In fact, the Walter Winchell of the Washington Nevvs gossips: There are those in local nevvs- paper circles who’ll teli you, and svvear they knovv vvhat they re talking about, that Calvin Cool¬ idge gets $50 a day straight for his current daily nevvspapei ccmment; that a “ghost” does the vvriting and they can name the ghost. More, that the said mouthpiece for our former pres¬ ident formerly vvorked in Wash- ington for one of the press as- sociations. And that ali other cash proceeds from the venture go to the syndicate promoting the Coolidge feature, minus the salary paid the ghost. Some local nevvspapermen mention Merman Beatty, form- erly of the Associated Press, and smile knowingly. Mr. Beatty is vvith Mr. Coolidge at ‘The Beech- es” ostensibly to get the Collidge copy to the McClure syndicate on time. The original copy for the 150 to 200-word feature is said to be in pencil. It vvill be remembered that Mr. Coolidge vvrote one of the long Cosmipoli- tan articles in pencil, vvith only 11 errors. Marlen Pevv of Editor and Publisher estimates that Mr. Coolidge gets about $4 a vvord for the McClure feature, vvhich is somevvhat less than Will Ro- gers receives. Mr. Pevv is inclin- ed to think the Coolidge contract is a fiat rate per vveek so that the Coolidge penchant for ‘ands’ instead of commas does not mean extra money for the for¬ mer president. This same auth- ority comments that Mr. Cool¬ idge seems to have adopted the “Rogers technique.” But the Nevv York Times does not see much difference betvveen the Coolidge platitudes novv and vvhen in Office. According to this paper, Mr. Coolidge contin- ues to say vvith the greatest sol- emnity things that are univer- sally accepted. For example, in his July 4th column Mr. Coolidge States this solemn truth vvith vvords spelled out: For onfe hun- dred and fifty-four years, July fourth has been called Indepen- dence Day.” Further on in the same article he reiterates this uncontested fact: We ali live in the same vvorld.

The date of Preseren’s “Krst”, 1836 not only mark- ed the great advent of a great poem but also of a move- ment that vvas to be knovvn as Ilyrianism in Slovene history. It vvas instituted by the change of the policy of the “Novine Horvatske” vvith the change of name to “Narodne ilirske novine” vvith the literary sup plement “Danica ilirske”. The “Novine Horvatske” vvere published in Kakavian dialect and used Hungarian al- phabet but vvith the change of name the policy vvas so changed that the dialect vvas Stokavian vvith the Czech alphabet. In the same year Babukivic’s grammar added its authority in favor of the latest change in national dialectical and alphabetical controversy. In effect the vvhole movement vvanted to unite the Serbs, Croats and the Slovenes and ali the other South Slav languages into one languagie and adopt the use of one alphabet. Under the leadership of Jan Kollar, vvho copied the idea from the young German vvriters that unity in language is the most desirable tie of ali the ties in nationalities. Kollar did not vvant political unity, neith- er did he advocate a single language but divided the Slavs into four language groups: the Czech, Polish, Ilyric and Russian. “Let every educated person knovv the four languages and then they should unite in a single vvritten alphabet” vvas his dictum and his čredo in the literary movement. Kollar met Ljudevit Gaj at Pesta vvho vvas in- fluenced by Kollar’s ideas. As a result Gaj published a book the thesis of vvhich vvas that the Slovenes and the Croatians adopt the Czech vvritten alphabet. In Croatia he advocated that the various dialects be for- gotten and only the Stokavian dialect be used and the language be based on the foundation of Dubrovnik‘s grammar and Vuk’s folk songs. Gaj’s ideas vvere ac¬ cepted, slowly to be sure and in 1836 an active interest vvas taken in the nevv idea of language unity bore some favorable fruit. The year 1836 marks the beginning of a unified Croatian language. In Slovenia the conditions for the adoption of the same language vvere not as favorable. Carniolan and the Stajerish province already had an established li- terary tradition vvhich vvould be hard to overcome and vvould be j ust as useless. Kopitar brought the tradition back to life vvhile Metelko bound it to popular dialect more firmly than it had ever been bound before; vvith the Cbelica and the poems of Prešeren the Slovene vvas brought to heights that a fevv years before vvas thought impossible. Wl)ile Slovene vvas firmly establish ed, Ilyrianism vvas nevv and - only evolving vvith no definite rules and laws and no medium through vvhich it could be taught the public. Slovene had everything to lose and nothing to gain vvith the proposed change. Little Staj er and Korosh provinces had an easier problem in the adoption of the literary innovation. Especially since the students of these provinces looked to Varadzin and Zagreb for their knovvledge rather than to Ljubljana. With the knovvledge of this fact it is not hard to understand vvhy Little Staj er (territory betvveen the Mura and Drave) should become the center of un- usual activity in the propagation of Ilyrianism among the Slovenes especially after 1830 vvhen Stanko Vraz and Fr. Miklošič made the territory their ccfter of activities. They vvere later joined by Davorin Trsten¬ jak. Stanko Vraz came to the midst of the students at Mali Staj er and eventually became the poet of the Ilyrian movement. He vvas born on June 3 1810 at Ce¬ rove at Ljutimir. In 1828 he entered the gymnasium at Maribor and finished Logic and Physics, after vvhich he matriculated at the Lavv school but he never finish¬ ed the preseribed studies. Stanko Vraz vvas more interested in literature than vvith lavv and a deep študent of the Western European languages; more influential vvere the Slav languages of the East of Europe. The Czech and the Polish vvere to him the most interesting languages. He vvas the author of Slovene sonnets after the style of Micklovv- ski and the other Polish poets. Among the Slovenes Prešeren vvas his model. He vvas also an ardent comp- iler of folksongs vvhich he gathered on his journeys through the Slovene lands especially those of the Stajerish and the Slavs of the vvest of Hungary. In the beginning of his literary career Vraz vvas most anxious to be counted among the contributors to the “Cbelica” but on his trip through Croatia to Ljub¬ ljana he met Gaj and stayed vvith him for some tirhe, absorbing ali that Gaj proposed in the Ilyrian reform. Vraz came to Ljubljana in 1834 and became acquaint- ed vvith Prešeren, Kastelic and Cop. Unfortunately the fifth edition of the “Cbelica” vvas never published, to vvhich Vraz contributed some of his poems. In the meantime Vraz promised to vvrite one poem in Ilyrian vvhich Gaj intended to publish in the intended public- ation “Cvetlice”. His first poem vvas published in the “Danica” and vvith the publication he stated his in- tention that of the ten poems promised, he vvould pu¬ blish only one in Slovene. But this promise and in- tention he changed variously. In his correspondence vvith Prešeren he asked Prešeren to have some of his poems published in some Slovene publication. The “Cbelica” vvas no longer active and the Stajerish “Metuljček” did not see the light of day. Prešeren could not help Vraz. Tvvo years later additional poems of Vraz appeared in the “Danica”. With them Vraz vvould not have anything to do vvith the Slovene or Croatian literature and definitely became identified vvith Ilyr- ianism. In 1823 he settled in Zagreb and devoted himself wholly to literary vvork. In 1829 he published his first book of poems “Narodne pesmi ilirske” and incidental- Iy this vvas the first book ever published in Gajica. (Editor’s note: Gajica vvas an alphabet based on the Czech alphabet and incorporating some nevv charact- ers to be used for special sounds in the Ilyrian dialect) For the next fevv years he published one book after the STAN YA FESS1 other among them a travel book of Slovenia effiP^ izing his birth plače) From the years 1341 to 1$. published tvvo books “Glasi iz dubrave zeravinskG “Gusli i tambura”.

Simms Meets St ant on When Frankie Simms arises from his stool Friday night he v/ill be in the act of advancing towards the bugaboo of his fighting career, that is, he will again meet a boxer with a left hand according to ali reports. He has met men of this type be- fore and has not shown to great advantage. He may, however, have gained some Valuable ex- perience in having fought this pesky type of boxer in the past and surprise by countering with a few of his own thrusty lefts. He may not deliver his south- paw punclhes with the grace that Stanton will, but just keep your eye on Gene’s bobbing head when the Slovene socker shoots in his left and you’ll see the dif- ference in the matter of damage inflieted. Barney Kofran’s attaches compare Gene’s left to that of Jim Corbett. They are also boastful of his record of six straight knockouts in his last starts; also point out that he defeated Diebolt to vrhom Simms lost; and whipped Emmett Roc- co with greater ease than did the St. Clair Avenue belter. As things stand now in view of the opponents both have met, neither can be conceded as a certain vvinner. Gene’s support- ers may boast of his educated left, but equally boastful are Simms’ followers who have seen that lullaby right explode on Ted Sandwina after Ted had been left handing his wlay to victory. It will take more than Gene’s lefts to sap the strength from Simms’ powerful physique. Whether the bout is to be a good mixup will depend largely upon Stanton. Frankie can be looked upon to be the aggressor and if his opponent sho\vs his vvillingness to come in, it should be a whale of a fight and will terminate before the scheduled routa of ten rounds. Very likely, however, Stanton may resort to the exclusive use of 'his left througnout and one thing you leian bet your laist cent on is that he will not give Simms a chance to get set. He vvill retreat, sidestep, close in and be on the alert every mom¬ ent. This is indeed a hard task. If he fails in his ability and al- ertness, Frankie’s T. N. T. will bounce off his jaw and there’ll be no need for the referee to count. Somehovv we are inclined towards the notion that Simms '.vili win by a knockout. He has been training diligently; box- ing more than is his custom, and most important of ali, he has been ,developing under the guid- anejpof his .manager 0’Connel, the follow-up style, something that a fighter of his ((ualities should possess. If in the course of the fight you notice Frankie throtving his left and i right, then instead of hesStating, quickly shooting in a left and right and Uanother left and right,. you can bank on a knockout. If he does not throw in a. fusil- iade of blows, then Gene should YOUNGSTER FLIRTS WITH DANGER Frankie Simms dislikes to be called “big buli” as is the cus¬ tom of the fight fans in refer- ring to a large proportioned man. But Doc Zupnik’s young boy did not know that. So when he vvas introduced to Frankie, he said; “Hey, Mister Simms, are you the fehovr they call “big buli?” Frankie did not let go of that right. be the vietor on points, unless .... and here Frank has another chance.... unless Frankie lands a lucky punch. He might be outboxed and ali that, but as long as his murder- ous right is at his side, he is ever dangerous. Young Scarney and Perroni should furnish plenty of action ih the semi-final, Gershe vs Nu- gent, Cato Calabaubo vs Florian, Sam Cohen and Billy Hughes vvill meet opponents yet to be seleeted at this writing. Eddie (Money) Simms vvill make his debut against the classy collegian, Rochester heavy Joe Lillich in the preliminarys.

But Eddie soon tired of buying steaks and chops and went out on his own to work out vvith Louis Sadler and Johnny Grib- bons, one time amateur champ.

He worked*on and on. be could teli his vvife that he ‘accomplished vvhen he did see her. People prophecied that the Enakopravnost would die the next day. But they did not know vvhat was behind it and the amount of discourage¬ ment it takes to break that špirit. Ali these things are spoken of very lightly now that the deed is accomplished but they were days of hard work and stili nard- er \vork. Sleep meant nothing when there was so much to, do and orders to be taken čare of and no one else who could do it. No sleep for three days and four nights with a furtive sleep of only a few hours and then go- ing on for two more days and two more nights. No.... the paper will come out day after day or the reason will be that Louis F. Truger is dead”. That was his motto and now the Enakopravnost is in its 13th volume. But better times loomed, he training came to his rescue when he demonstrated that he could do ex'cellent draftsman work. He worked for a while and was offered a position of track superintendent on one of the sections of the railroad which was laying tracks to the gold mineš. But he was ihome- sick, lonesome after the Slovene people and he came to Cleveland in 1909 to enter the first and the most suiecessful Slovene Dramatic Stock Company in America which played in Pitts¬ burgh Mermine, Braddock, Loy- aldle, Dunlo and many other cities in Pennsylvania where the people welcomed them as New York vvelicomes great he- roes today. Sometimes they came to the stations with ac- cordians and made a real day of it. In the company were, Jacob and Albina Hočevar, Milan Trost, Louis Truger and Pauline Pintar. It was in Cleveland that “he became acquainted with Miss Pauline Pintar and from the friendship arose more intimate feelings so that Miss Pauline Pintar was willing to share tha name of fPruger. They vvere married in 1910. Later he went to Chicago and was a part of the staff of Glas Svoboda and at the same time he attended Depaw University in Chicago taking a commercial course. Tftiree semes',ters vvas ali he could do. Working from 4 A. M. until 5 P. M. and at- tending school in the evening \vas too much so he was forced to leave school. After leaving Glas Svoboda he went to the Church Publishing Co. as lino- type machinist where he re- rnain for a time until the call to Cleveland became strong. # Begins Slovene Daiiy Wr'th his wife and small farn¬ ih h e came here and* immediate- ly began to do things in cultur- al as well as pioneering lines. Wiih the small Capital of $500 he bought out the “II Popufo” paper and from that he con- ceived the idea that a city with 30,000 Slovenes needs and can support a daily paper. The idea was good and people praised him fcr even offering Capital to make it a reality. But when the time čarne to dig there were no friends. Nothing daunted—that is the špirit to which he was accustomed — he began the fight himself with a small band of close relatives who believed in Louis Truger and his idea. Work from morning until early morning was his share. At times Rogelj as the editor while he took čare of the shop. Later on even the day typesetter Vatro Grili could he hired. But pre- vious to this ‘he was typesetter. editor, j ob man printer and ali the other things for an idea which he would not let it get the better of him. Work in Cultural Field Gradually there came some time and a little recreation that he felt he needed. Even his recreation was work. But it was worked that he enjoyed Soon he became identified with the cultural groups of Cleveland and with them he worked hard He was one of he charter mem ber of Ivan Cankar Dramatic Society which is as representa- tive dramatie society as one will find in any Slovene Community in America. During his time with Cankar he held the posi tions of director, casting direc tor, took parts in the plays him self. When the Slovene library wa a thing that nbeded help it found Louis Truger a vvilling worker and there also he helc responsible positions. The Slo vene National Home on St. Clair began to be talked of; it also found him with his shoulder to the wheel and pushing. Author of Several Inventions Probably the activity of vvhich people know least is his inven- tive genius and that he 'has sev¬ erni patents issued to him as improvements on the Linotype He has ideas for others but novv he feels that he wants to rest Gradually he is dropping some of the activities that he was in- timately connected with and is now wishing for a little rest. He believes that he deserves it. It will not be rest but an opportun- ity to do those things which he always wanted to do. Read a lot and enjoy a rest that he de¬ serves. But even now that špirit of doing has not left him and the fight is as strong as ever if there is anything worth the trouble of fighting he is always ready to do and dare. His on!y principle in his whole life was to invite struggle if only the fight is for principle and not a low dovvn thing as personality. When the fight turns to person- lal affairs he flies precipitously And his other principle in life has always been: it does not matter what kind of work you are doing as long as your con- science is clear.

Since her graduation she has become more and more active in Slovene af¬ fairs and has made herself a record with her activity.

But with graduation from school she did much work and ali who have heard her have been impressed so that they entrusted their chil- dren to her čare in piano play- ing.

Among the Slovenes the Cleveland Journal and the Slovene daily Enako¬ pravnost have been chosen and they have chosen Miss Anne Erste as the most representative girl. That is the Cleveland Jour¬ nal and the Enakopravnost did not do the choosing but they have secured the committee of local men who know the girls and the committee when it con- vened last (Tuesday ipfternoon rendered the decision. Will be One of Welcoming Committee The girls among vvhom Anne Erste will represent the Slo¬ venes will act as a welcoming committee for the international balloonists who will come to Cle¬ veland to participate in the In¬ ternational Balloon Races on August 31 and September 1. The members of the weleoming com¬ mittee will have a contest among themselves and ali will be judged by another committee vvhich will be chosen by the Cleveland Press -and the winner of the con tejst will be given a trip to Pariš with the Movie Actress, Gloria Svvanson. Miss Anne Erste, the winner of the Slovene Personality con¬ test, ihas been judged as the best representative in the con¬ test as it was held among the Slovenes. Miss Erste is a pop- ular girl in the community ha'v- ing been associated with the Comrades and has made quite a / reputation £|S a fteadheir of piano. As a member of the fraternal organizations she has held many long -standing records in memberships drives and in the disposition of tickets for dances. These records stand as she has made them several years ago unbroken by anyone. Miss Anne Erste graduated from East High School in 1928 and was previously member of the classes which have been en- (Continued from page one) School and the teaching pro¬ gram. What the definite pro¬ gram and the other details will be has not been announced but it is certain that those who want to 'learn the language from the mere extra charaeters that ap- pear in the alphabet to ali the rules of grammar for a better appreciation of the language in order to get a key to the cul¬ tural values of the Slovene peo¬ ple vvill have a chanee to learn ali the rudiments and ali the fundamentals which will lead to a good knowledge of the lan¬ guage itself. School Will Fit Abilities of AH Pupils. So far the program has been definitely worked out. There will be a course in the funua- mentals. Ali the other courses that vvill be offered will depend on the capabilities of the stu- dents who will apply for the courses. The School Board is in position to offer any course that the pupils may desire. From the fundamentals to a high literary appreciation of the language it¬ self. It is even in a position to give a course in Literature if there are pupils sufficiently ad- vanced to take the course. In the wide appeal to ali sorts of students. vvith various abili¬ ties in the Slovene it is impos¬ sible to imagine that anyone vvho is really interested in learn ing the language either as a purely educational idea or that it can be used to profit will miss the opportunity of enrolling in the courses that are offered by the school during the coming season. The School Board is also anx- ious to make the Slovene school something more than purely lo¬ cal interest and it is inviting pu¬ pils from ali the communities of Cleveland to attend the school which is not instituted for peo¬ ple who live in a vvell defined geographical territory but for everyone who wishes to attend If anyone had an idea that they could not go to school because it was too advanced they will find that the school is-fitted for those who know no Slovene or who know little and for those vvho know much. Classes will be so organized that they vvill take čare of the needs of ali the pupils who attend. The dates for registration have not been announced as yet but in the meantime it is time to think over the proposition and to make a decision andi act upon it when the dates are an- nounced. Watch the Journal for further announcements. I said he PERSONALS Joseph Andolsek of New York a former Clevelander is visiting his friends during his vacation period. He is staying vvith his brother and sister. Joseph Menart and the mem¬ bers of his family are on a va¬ cation trip through the middle west- Their first stop was at Waukegan 111., and took in the convention sights. Where their itenerary will take them after is hard to say but when they were leaving here they were set out to have a good timp. Here’s hoping they have a real time. (From page three) Connell’s management at this time.) Eddie floored Maxvvell twice, but lost the decision. After the Maxwell bout he was recognized as one of the best ranking amateurs in the city. He engaged in approx- imately twenty-five bouts, win- ning most of them by knock- outs. The only knockouts ever suffered by him were at the hands of Bob Moody, whom Frankie Simms later kayoed when Bob turned pro, and Al Fay, a Pittsburgh heavy. Amateur .fistic followers well remember Eddie’s remarkable fights with Oliver Streimikes Billy Clemmons, Leroy Bryant, and Jack Pallat. It was after he had won the heavyweight title under 0’Connell’s management that he met Streimikes at the Public Auditorium. In a gory battle that had the crowd on its feet throughout, Eddie flo¬ ored Streimikes five times. Hut the game Streimikes kept get- ting up and so \von the hearts of the fans that the judges gave the decision to Streimikes, much to the delight of the mob. He met Streimikes again and kayoed him. Another highly heralded fight er hailing from Pittsburgh, was Leo Clements who scored kay- oes over Jack McGrath and the tough Nick Govin. Eddie de- cisioned him twice and the third time knocked* him cold for five minutes. Enters golden gloves In 1929 he entered the Golden Gloves tournament sponsored by the Plain Dealer. Only three other contestants dared enter the heavywpight division. Eddie as champ was the hot favorite to retain the title, but did not. Leroy Bryant, a negro, was paired with a novice, while Jack Pallat, vvho was the more ex- perienced, tackled Simms. Eddie put the sleep producer on Pal¬ lat and met Bryant in the final the same night. He lost mainly because he was the more ex- hausted, having fought Pallat a hard fight until the time of the kayo, vvhile Bryant had an easymark. Not active in 1930 It was not an easy matter to get opponents for Eddie. Further more, his hands began to trouble him so that in 1930 he engaged in only four scraps. He fought Ernie Young, a colored fighter at the Slovenian National Home on St. Clair Avenue. Burke was another Kayo victim, as was K. O. Evvalt. This brings us down to Lillich, the fellovv vvho de- feated Simms. And he is the same fellovv vvho is to fight him in his first start as a Professional. Lillich, a col legian from Holy Cross College, and possessor of the Nevv Eng- land heavyweight title decision- ed the St. Clair Avenue lad in a three round entaglement. It was a listless bout. Lillich, a good boxer, outboxed Eddie vvho had fought and knocked out Ev/alt the night before. Simms claims that he hurt his hand in the Evvalt fight and vvent in the fol- lovving day against Lillich mere- ly to please the fans. Efforts were made to match Simms vvith Jack Pallat vvho vv o n the National Amateur heavyweight toga the past vvin- ter. (On account of the injured hands Eddie did not enter the Golden Gloves last vvinter.) But McGinty and Johnny P a p k e, managerg of the champ vvould not consent to such a match. No other beuts in vievv, Eddise is novv forced to remove the ama¬ teur cloak and step out as a Pro¬ fessional.
