Sweets & Medals

The President of Mexico last week:

(P:. Learned that his son Fernando Ortiz Rubio (145 lb.) had fought at Atchison, Kan., while 900 spectators cheered, in a three-round, no-decision bout put on by St. Benedict's College. The President's son's opponent: Gus Glazer of St. Joseph, Mo. (145 lb.).

Said Student-Pugilist Fernando, fanned in his corner by his student-brother Guillermo: "I discontinued the use of sweets and tobacco three weeks ago in preparation for this bout."

(P: Commuted from Death to 20 years imprisonment the sentence passed by a Mexican Court martial upon Private Jose Barajas for killing an officer.

Circumstances: modest Private Barajas never wore the medals he had won for saving the life of two comrades. Ordered to wear the medals, he refused; ordered a second and a third time to wear them, Life-Saver Barajas slew his tormentor.
