That sums of the slant of ex port ringsiders on the scheduled KJ-round go hero last night that had been plugged (as an elimination for a world chanjpioilship contest. Woodcock, the British heavy weight champiori,, was pronounc ed the winner in the fourth round when the referee disqualified Savold on the grounds he had hit below the belt. Savold, vetergrt ex-Miancsolfen now billed from Patoi^on, N.*J^ was going strong at the tipic and many onlookers nad bcert expect ing him to wip. j Boos at the decision went up from among kb® crowd of 11,000 in Harringay Arena While Wood cock ( writhed and mugged on the canvas in a show- of paid.

Parnell and team members Stanley Flinn, Henry Thuem, Harold Phillips and Robert Tidwell of the Poultry Judging Team are “Good Eggs” and can prove it. It was made official recently in Chicago when they were initiated into the National “Good Egg” Club— a nationwide ic^Ith and good-fellowship club+~ ipoqsored by thqi Poultry and Egg National Board The good-egg ceremony took J)lace in Chicago’s Hotel Hamilton during a banquet, held in honor of ! poultry judging teams in Chicago i to compete in the National Poultry Mtb heavy! Edging Contest. H. H. Alp, director of the poul try board, and *a director of the poultry department of the Ameri can Farm Bureau Federation, was in chdrge of the initiation. Alp presented Parnell and each of the t^arn members with an Official egg-shaped, yolk-colored membership card. Their duties, he said, will include eating eggs seeing that other people eat eggs always being ;a “good egg"— and leave the laying of eggs up to the hens. According to Alp. the club was formed “so all the good eggs in the country can flock together” and there are now j over 16,000 “good eggs” in every state in the nation. President Truman and Gov. Thfemas E. Dewey (arc horforary members of the “Good Egg” Club. . Thp News.Sbronicle quoted pro- 1 ' motor Jack Solonibns, «» saying he’d fly to Now York tomorrow to try to talk the! 26th Century Sporting (Tub into a match be tween Louis and Woodcock in Lon don next summer. Solomons couldn’t be reached for a check on that today, and all he’d say of hift plans last night was that he’d like to rematch Wood cock and Savold. Sqvold weighed 1881 Woodcock 191.
