Fritzie Zivic. as ring followers know, has had his share of all. This story concerns Fritzie and a very close friend of his. For a fellow who not so many years ago thought he would spend the rest of his life on crutches or in a wheel chair, Bobby Quinn is now doing all right as a trainer of fighters. Already the Pittsburgher has trained and seconded one champion —none other than Fritzie, but now he thinks he has another in the title trail in Juste Fontaine, Mil- waukee lightweight. But the story of how he became a trainer, how he overcame the handicap of infantile paralysis, holds more interest in the work he kas done with fighters, both in the gymnasium and in the ring.

I'd come {down every day, and help out a bit. “One day Fritzie and Luke Car- ney (late manager of Zivic) asked me why I didn’t learn the business. Well, you know the rest.” Bobby Quinn, now well known wherever there are fights or figh- ters, was Fritzie’s second one ev- ening in Pittsburgh when Zivic met Billy Conn: the first time. Zivic won and he though Quinn brought him luck, and has had him in his corner in every fight, including the night he won the welter-weight ti- tle from Henry Armstrong. Right now Bobby Quinn is train- ing Zivic’'s stable of six fighters, headed by Fontaine, one of the East’s leading lightweights. His other fighters are Frankie Abrams, of Detroit, Micky Quack and young Charle Zivic of Pitts- burgh, Joey Yarosz, younger bro- ther of Teddy, the former middle- weight champion, and Joes An- draes, a Mexican. see Rocky Graziano of New York won over “Welterweight Champion Freddie Cochrane of New Jersey last Friday night with a knockout TRAINING WOMEN Commerce WE ARE OPERATING A RESENTATIE. 15-23 E.

STATE POLICE TO RIGIDLY ENFORCE SPEED LIMIT LAWS —— | Following abandonment of all | wartime speed precautions by the Federal Government, Col. C. M. Wilhelm, Commissioner of State Police, has ordered rigid enforce- ment of Pennsylvania's 50-mile speed limit in an effort to pre- vent a rise in postwar traffic ac- cidents. Col. Wilhelm, in a statement, de- clared that the State Police will go all out in the enforcement of speed and other motor laws in the rural sections of the State where they have complete jurisdiction, and he requested authorities in cities and boroughs controlling their own enforcement to cooper- ate to the fullest in this effort to conserve human life and property. In a statement released during the week, Col. Wilhelm said: “Wartime traffic tolerance to speed victory has ended with the Federal Goverment’s elimination of wartime speed precautions. All motor vehicle laws, particularly those pertaining to speed, will be rigidly enforced in the interest of safety. Orders to that effect have been sent to the state police over the commonwealth. There is grave | danger of a heavy increase in traf- | fic accidents. Broken down cars | and others weakened by age, along | with thin and worn tires, are a menace to safe driving. They will not stand up under fast operation. | Thousands of operatcrs have not | driven for a long time. Careless ha- bits and a tendency toward reck- lessness have developed. That atti- tude is too apparant today on our | highways with both driver and pe- | destrian. While the 35-mile Vic- tory Speed is no more it would pay | all drivers to adhere to it as clos- | ely as possible for some time to | come. New cars and better tires must come before a higher speed can safely be ventured. Pennsylva- | nia’s legal speed limit is fifty miles per hour. It will be strictly enfor- ced. The sincere cooperation of | drivers, pedestrians, and all offi- | cial and civic agencies is urged to | guard against any loss of life or | injury to persons due to postwar exuberance or carelessness.” ASHVILLE NEWS A | By Mrs. Georgia Lidwell.
