ciabby's trip was longer than Lang
ford's. He spent some time in Aus
tralia. where he fought several good
men. lie enjoyed that part OF It. as he
found the Australians a fine. hospltable
people. The climate vas good and III

, little too heavy to make tn" middle
weight limit. Papke wasn't In good
shape. lie was on his honeymoon. you
know. and he was pretty soft and fat.
A couple OF weeks before he fought

But the funniest thing was Cyclone
Johnny Thompson. lie went to Aus
iralia as "a lightweight. and when he
was trained for his first fight he weighed
Is3 pounds, Johnny always drinks two
or three bottles OF beer with his meals.
and he got as round as a barrel on thar

seem fat. lie Just got dig. and he was
Just " tough as ever. 1t was like
punching "A solid block OF wood. | hurt
my hands. lie could fight like the mis-
chief. too. He outfought Papke in every
