His folks received a welcome and long-awaited letter from Larry Hack this week. The way those boys get around--and to think we used to consider » trip to the bay and chain- •o-alkes on the Gladene was quite a boat ride.

I swiear that on his gym showing he lobked unbeatable. He never was better." ~ Great Hearted He had one thing that reminded onlookers of the Savold of yesterday. He had the same heart that he did when he disposed of Bolden, Franklin and NOVA. When the last gong sounded there wiere many who > insisted that he had gone over the crest, and that from now on his fights would continue to grow less effective. Perhaps the pace Lee has always maintained finally caught up with him, depriving his legs of speed and his fists of punch. Savold made no excuses. "I was in shape," he said in his dressing room, "but the maritime service took some zip out of me. I can't concentrate too much on my ring wars, especially when I'm training for a bigger battle." The fight wasn't a howling financial success, luring a $43,355 gross gate, which probably means the show was promoted at a deficit since the headliners took 60 per cent of the net. It also proved a bit boring to the assembled 16,135 spectators, 7,500 of them being uniformed servicemen and women, who were Promoter Jack Reams' guests. To be truthful, the customers, probably including Kearns' nonpaying guests, began to boo the action atxiut the time of the seventh round and didn't stop until the bout reached its somewhat inglorious end. • Louis and Conn Perhaps we're too critical, but there are only two contemporary heavyweights we'd travel any distance to see--Champion Joe Louis and Contender Billy Conn. Both men are real fighters. Both have the heart for it, the ability to fight and are capable of putting up a real show every time tbey step into the ring. In our book, jack Dempsey and Joe Louis are the two greatest heavyweights of all time. Both men were dangerous from the start. Dont go into that Wattles store io buy anything without an interpreter. We got all mixed up with Glenny Sunday night. The guy spent too much time in Africa. Couldn't you see the difference in the spirit of the "G-Men" at the TtfeHenry post-office Friday morning ? The boys beat our Jones Candy Kids Thursday night in ft. bovding match at Ingleside. The show wps much the same as previous performances although the cast was slightly changed. George Barbian joined the *1Feds" while "Mattie" King joined forces with Captain Jones. Both performed ably. "Old McDonald" Winkel was the ~ only member with a score up to the ? expected. Jones had something in his throat that even cough drops wouldn't cure so his score suffered accordingly. Football players will hold their first practice next Monday night on the MCHS field.
