Garcia's Hungry Rooters TRANSIENT KILLED
A Headache for Manager gy fjrjguj jm
By GATI.F, TALBOT
NEW YORK, Nov. S. (AP) The one who It cuf firing mwt from
the postponement of the Arnutrong-Gtrci fight to November 35, U
George ParnaBsua, Garcia 'a manager, who U totally surrounded by hun
gry Filipinos.
Parnassus thought he had a head
ache two nights ago when Armstrong
eame down with a lame back, but
he didn't then know the extent of
the calamity. He was so busy wor
rying about the postponement he
didn't give the hungry Filipino a
thought until they descended upon
him In a body at his hotel, where
he was getting In a little troubled
sleep.
There were 13 of them. They had
motored all the way here from Cali
fornia in two ancient vehicles Just
to watch their hero and country
man. Garcia, win the welterweight
championship from Armstrong. They
were running short on money, they
Informed Parnassus, and what was
he going to do about it?
Parnassus suggested, without much
hope, they motor right on back to
California while they still had gaso
line money. This brought expres
sions of pain to 13 Filipino faces.
They had come here to see Cefe
rlno win the title, their leader ex
plained, patiently, and they didn't
mind waiting until November 25.
Although they didn't say so in as
many words, it was made clear to
Parnassus, a sad-faced Greek, he
would be expected to play host to
Garcia's most loyal rooters until
auch time as he got Ceferlno In the
same ring with Armstrong. The let
tuce-picking season doesn't start
back home for some months. It
seems, so there Is plenty of time.
Here I'm wondering how Ceferlno
and I are going to eat and train for
another month, and now these 13
Filipinos pile In on me," he wailed
as he paced the doctor's outer room,
waiting for the latest report on
Armstrong's condition.
"I can't send these guys home.
pent an hour this morning finding
a cheap place for them to live, but
I still don't know how I'm going to
pay for It. Maybe I can get the box
ing commission to give me Arm
strong's $2000 forfeit until he la
ready to fight."

so.)

perfect timing that members of her
clubs and all other clubs thoroughly
investigate, BEFORE endorsing, all
movement, groups, or Individuals,
thus avoiding unintentional support
for any of the many "ISMS" now
threatening our national well-being.
When In Washington, Mrs. Dunbar

It would seem. Familiar with the
Interesting and successful achieve
ment of the Oregon club, we made
inquiries here, hoping to edge In on
one somehow or other. We failed to
find even a similar organlratlon. al
though many schools and formal,
paid classes exist, conducted by pro
fessional teachers, for the benefit
of thousands of government officials
who are constantly called upon to
talk thither snd yon. In fact, a
number of bureaus and Information
headquarters suggested that we get
busy and organize a few such kindred-soul
groups. If we should take
that on, we'll yell for help. .
