Dandy Dick's Bad Breaks
Outweighed Good Ones
Fort Worth, Tex. (AIM -Dandy
Dick Griffin is dead. From the coro
ner's view, it was "heart failure."
But. say his friends, he actually
died of a broken heart.
Griffin was the uncrowned cham
pion of the bantamweights years
ago. He was one of the greatest
lighters of his time. He suffered
blindness after resin got in one
eye and destroyed its sight. That
caused the other eye to fail.
But he fought on in the interest
of boxing. Single-handedly, with
out funds, he brought back legal
ized boxing to Texas. Hp got the
law changed through strength of
character and persuasiveness, his
friends said.
Promoted Boxing
Griffin promoted boxing after
he quit the ring. He put on some
of the best fight shows Texas ever
saw. But it was the tailure of a
boxing promotion that caused him
to die of a broken heart.
"What A
Wonderful
Future
I
Will Have!"
"Yep ... my future is going to be wonderful! I'm going to
have things and go places. Why? It's simple. I've started
a savings account . , . plan to add to it every pay day. You
always seem to save more when you save regularly. And,
a savings reserve of 'ready cash' gives you those extra dollars
so helpful for emergencies, opportunities and the many
things you want or need."

Last summer Griffin tried to put
tin a .show with Joey Maxim, the
! light-heavyweight champion, as the
i attraction. It was at the North
i Side coliseum here ? where over
30 yc ars ago. Dandy Dick, the Irish
bantamweight, fought some of his
i greatest ring battles.
I ans Didn't Come
Jack Kearns, Griffin's friend
since the days when Jack Dcmp
i sey was king, had brought in Max
im. Maxim was to meet a former
Golden Gloves star. The fans
i didn't come. Kearns knew the
[crowd wasn't big enough to pay
! the rent but he said he'd put his
champion in the ring if Dick said
the won!. But some of the hun
gry preliminary boys wanted at
least part ol their money in ad
vance. There wasn't any. The show
was called off.
Griffin though only 52, never
was a well man after that night.
Gritlin made a lot of money in
his day as a boxer and a promoter.
But he gave it all away. He was the
softest "touch" in town.
It was in 1921 while Griffin was
preparing for a fight with John
nie Buff, the champion, in Madi
son Square Garden that he got
resin in an eye. The fight was
called off? and his chance at the
title was gone. He went completely
blind in 1935.

Tito Instructs Sports
Writers to Be Objective
Belgrade, Yugoslavia ? (AP)
Marshal Tito's newspaper has
sharply instructed Yugoslav sports
writers to be fair and objective
and not to emulate "Russian writ
ers who juggle statistics to make I
it appear that Soviet athletes are |
the world's best in every field."
In a two-column lecture to sports
writers, the newspaper accused
them of displaying partiality for
the home team.
"Too often," said the paper,
"when our teams meet foreigners,
our sports reporters exaggerate
our successes and hush up our de
feats. This is a dangerous tenden
cy which leads to nationalism.
"We know that statistics can al
ways be rigged to prove almost ev
erything. That's what the Soviets
do. By using special pAint sys
tems they try to make it appear
that their athletes are the best in
in the world. We should avoid
this by all means."
Since Tito's break with the Corn
inform, Yugoslav sports teams have
been boycotted by the Russians and
surrounding Soviet satellite na
tions.

Long-term Investment
that pays daily dividends
These day* thoughtful people turn their minds
to the durability of things they purchase.
But it's rare when doing your duty turns out to be
the best way to satisfy your heart's desire.
That's what's so marvelous about this '5 1 Buick.
If ytiu picked a car just for the lift it gives you?
your pride in its power? or its generous comfort?
you couldn't make a better choice.
But make note of this:
That gleaming new push-bar forefront, which
greets your eye with flashing beauty, contains 25
grille bars made of stamped steel, individually
mounted to "give" and come back unharmed.
Combined with ? massive, wrap-around bumper,
fortressed by two stalwart "bumper bombs" and
two added uprights, it gives unsurpassed
protection.
Springs of stout sptraled steel on all four wheels
let your wheels curtsey over bumps, while you ride
level as a lance. But they also need no servicing,
and breakage is virtually unknown.
Buich't great-powered engine is a Fireball, won
drously lively and eager at the mere touch of your
toe? but it also wrings extra power from every
drop of fuel, and has the mechanical perfection
