GEORGE WHITING'S COLUMN

Cockell's Ringside Cheer Will Be For Rocky Marciano On June 17

THE CHINA MAIL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1954.

Don Cockel is to meet Rocky Marciano, heavyweight champion of the world, in New York next June. Unfortunately the planned visit is semi-social and looks like being altogether too friendly.

But at least it shows that Cockell regards quite seriously his chance at getting a shot at Marciano's title before the year in out. Why else would he and his manager, John Simpson, contemplate the expense of two air fares personal pockets?

PARADE

For the second time this season we are delighted to welcome Craftsman Grant to the spot of honour in the Tommy Atkins Sports Parade. At Boundary Street on Sunday this young soldier turned in another magnificent performance in the 3 miles event in the Triangular Athle tic Meeting.

Once again this young athlete ran with all the skill, determination and judgment of a veterap, He assessed the strength of the opposition with rare accuracy and his thrilling finish made him a clear und worthy winner from Chan King-yin of South Chinn. The soldier re- turned a time of 17 mins. 3.2 seconds as against Chan's 17 mins. 5 Mees.

HOLLYWOOD HEADLINES

Films Responsible For “Modern-Living” Ideas

By JENNIFER JOHNS

I first noticed it the other day when I visited a neighbour: the inescapable fact that films, more than any other factor, are responsible for a swing towards “modern living” in American homes.

My neighbour had just had a “glass wall"—one huge sheet of glass--run along the sunny side of the house. It was broiling Inside und, from a distance it looked as if the entire side of the house had been taken away. I asked her what gave her the idea. "My husband and I saw it in some film and we thought it looked cute, It cost a lot but it is unusual. You don't need any windows!"
