BE YOUR OWN WHISKEY EXPERT I The big difference in whiskey values is the difference in taste. That's why it will pay you to make an easy 60-second taste test between Calvert Reserve and your present brand. , We're sure you will prefer Calvert because its smoother, mellower taste is protected from bite, burn or sting by "vacuum distil ling" at low temperature.

Kicks Vainly. And when Referee Tommy Gilmore swept his hands side ways to indicate the count of 10 and the windup, Graziano was on the deck kicking vainly with his right foot in an effort to rise.

Pawing Colt Rocky did. He put his right hand on the lower rope and his right leg was in the air. His foot never hit the canvas, despite his effort to put it down, and he kicked the air like a pawing colt as Gilmore continued the count.

He never backed up, and he had champion Sugar Ray cautious as a rookie in a big league infield. Graziano was saddened by the outcome, chiefly because he be lieved he could have won, had he fought "my kind of fight." "I should have stayed in punching all the time," he said. "Take a punch or two to get in a few. I guess that was my mis take."
