supply. With its vast store of natu­
ral resources and its rapidly in­
creasing population, the Far West
looks forward to a continuing post­
war industrial growth through de­
velopment of new products and new
markets.”
The seven states included In
the study are Arizona, California,
Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah .and
Washington.
"The Far West,” according to the
article, “ made the largest relative
gains in population and income of
all the areas of the United States
during World War II, and has
grown faster than the nation as a
whole since 1939, increasing its
population by 31 per cent as com­
pared with a 7 per cent increase for
the entire United States. Factory
jobs in the Far West in the same
period rose 68 per cent as com-
pared with 46 per cent for the na­
tion. In food production, the in­
crease in the Far West amounted to
25 per cent as compared with 23 per
cent for the United States as a
whole.
“ Continued expansion of industry
appears to be of prim ary im por­
tance to the progress of the Far
West,” the article concludes. "Its
abundant natural resources, its c li­
mate, its forest riches, its excellent
harbors and its scenic beauties
have been the chief contributing
factors to its rapid growth in the
past. To accommodate and support
a population increase in the future
comparable to that enjoyed so far
in this century and particularly In
the World War II period, would
seem to require the broader econ­
omy which its sustained industrial
growth is furnishing.”

though Dempsey is well beyond our

We doubt very much that Zale or
Graziano would have any great
amount of luck against those men­
tioned abuwe. But the two, Zale and
Graziano, are a big improvement
over those who have come along
since the Toy Bulldog, meaning
Mickey Walker, traded his boxing
gloves for an 'artist's brush.
Zale and Graziano proved this
part of the argument in a meeting
that had even more action than the
stars of the past ever turned in.
Melodrama may not mean skill or
class. But It happens to be some­
thing the public likes Io see, when
■ it Is ably handled.
In 1939, the middleweight stew
included a weird mixture under
the names of Solly Kreiger, A1 Hos-
tak and Ceferino Garcia. They were
merely flllers-in.
In 1940, Zale arrived as the
NBA crown holder. Tony has been
wearing the middleweight crown
ever since, including a long war
lapse from 1941 up through 1945.

While Zale was in war service a
young, hard punching roughneck by
the name of Graziano came along
like a Midwestern tornado. Grazi­
ano was blessed with one greal ring
asset. He could punch. He was
never any too smart and he was
never much of a boxer. He was
never particular about observing
any rules, as he proved in his meet­
ing with M arty Servo, whom he
fouled and almost wrecked.
In a way Graziano was something
a softened-up ring needed He was
rough, tough, a braggart, but after
all a fighter and a puncher. He was
also a crowd plcaser, and a valu­
able entry at the gate.
Rocky had built up a bigger part
of his reputation at wrecking oppo­
nents who were badly outweighed.
He wasn’t so hot when it came to
a matter of pound for pound.
Tony Can Take It
In his meeting with Zale the chal­
lenger did about everything, except
remove Zale’s headpiece. When I
saw Rocky nail Zale with a full
right to the jaw, saw Tony go
through the bottom rope, appar­
ently bleeding at every open pore
around the head in one of the early
rounds, the fight seemed to be over.
But Zale got up and kept coming
on. The defending champion con­
tinued to take a terrific beating.
His eyes seemed glazed and his
knees were wobbling. Here was
about as game an exhibition as any­
one ever had seen in the ring.
Zale was dazed and dizzy. He had
taken the heaviest artillery Grazi­
ano could throw. And then sud­
denly, after a body attack. It was
Graziano who crumpled to the floor
and took the count.
This closed out one of the most
dramatic meetings the ring ever
has seen, looking back to the days
of Jem Mace or John Lawrence
Sullivan.
Zale, a first-class boxer, sur­
prised one by Inability to keep his
chin and features away from
Rocky's right hand. But Zale sur­
prised one even more by his un­
believable ability to soak up all this
punishment and still have enough
left for a body knockout.
