A SORRY MESS
Just when it appeared that professional boxing
couldn’t possibly get any lower, or smell any worse,
Cassius Clay and Sonny Liston proved beyond all doubt
that it could.
If what happened Tuesday night, in Lewiston, Maine,
doesn’t kill the fight racket, there’s simply no hope for
a better world. Pity the folks in New England, who
have no deodorant powerful enough to eradicate the
lingering stench.
Liston’s latest collapse was hardly a work of art,
but in brevity at least it surpassed his prior performance
against an opponent who behaves more like an escapee
from a mental institution than a fit subject for legalized
fisticuffs.
No wonder Joe Louis, in his day, a credit to his
race and to boxing, fumbled futilely for something fav
orable to say when called into the ring after the miser
able minute of whatever you want to call it.
The Brown Bomber, who defended his world heavy
weight crown 25 times and went down fighting in an
ill-advised comeback after retirement, is as honest as
he is modest. He couldn’t figure the knockout, and
Joe wasn’t by himself.
M Louis pointed out, Cassius wasn’t solidly planted
on his feet when he delivered the punch that made
Liston listless for a sufficient length of time to end
the farce. Powerful punches, as Louis knows from first
hand experience, usually aren’t delivered by a fighter
standing on his toes.
It was quite clear that another former champion,
Jersey Joe Walcott, (referee for the occasion) shared
the Brown Bomber’s bewilderment. Walcott apparently
didn’t see Clay unleash a wallop sufficient to lull Liston
into temporary sleep.
How else could you explain Jersey Joe’s failure to
start a count? It would appear logical that Walcott
fought Liston had slipped and fallen. Such occurrences
in the ring are not unusual of course, and understand
ably they are not regarded as a knock down.
The timekeeper, for reasons satisfactory to himself,
did start and complete the count of ten. 'Ihis was per
haps just as well, since the sooner the whole anai
came to a conclusion the better.
What happened after that is no secret. Clav. who
isn’t accused very often of normal behavior, did little
to convince spectators and radio listeners that he isn’t
a likely subject for the man with the butterfly net.
If his raving into the microphones resembled any
thing rational, then the inescapable verdict is that at
least a hundr^ million other Americans are completely
off their rockers.
Even so, Cassius is somewhat less revolting than
liiston, whose police record offers evidence that he is
more adept at committing crimes than he is in remain
ing perpendicular in a squared circle.
Professional boxing (and please don’t call it a sport)
is a rotten business. Why anybody would ijay money to
keep it going is beyond our comprehension. Frankly,
we have no sympathy to offer those who patronize a
racket so completely peopled by shady characters.
Those who contributed to the cause Tuesday night
may have learned their lesson. If so, we can all look
forward to a less contaminated world in the days and
years to come.

Villoge Verses
GLAD TO HAVE YOU
Don’t count yourself a stranger.
If you’ve just moved into town.
And forget that you are homesick.
Treading unfamiliar ground.
The children playing on our streets
Are like the ones you knew.
And here you’ll find the sun and moon
That used to shine for you.
An alley cat is still mst tbiat
In Boston or New York.
The gossipers in Richmond
Spread our type of idle talk.
We have our share of pompish folks
Who try to put on airs.
And other souls of simple faith
Who go to Grod with prayers.
In short, you’ll find that New Bern
Really is of stock design.
But I do so hope you’ll learn to love
'This lovely town of mine.

YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN
Not to yourself do you belong.
Your Master placed you hare;
Ho has a work for you to do—
You're in His plans and sphere.
You're not yoor own; you're in that plan
That He for you entploys.
Which wiil bring you and others, toe.
The greatest of all |oys.
These |oys come through the Lord, the Christ,
Man's Savior and his King,
Who purchased him with royal blood
That He might him life bring.
Christ has redeemed me with His blood,
I now belong to Him;
I live no longer in the dark,
I live in light not dim.
I could not do without Thee, Lord,
Thou art my staff and stay;
I need Thee ev'ry hour I live—
Do Thou not let me stray.
