visiting St. Andrews and possibly several
other courses in England, Scotland or on

particularly, but being anxious to

instead. When it came time to
weigh in, Sherman was invisible
and never did show up. He admit
ted to 142, but looked all of 14S.

and fought so valiantly that he got

little shade on the heavy work
That made six straight victories
for Rudy, which include the TWEEN

UNI in Las Vegas, n NJ, the night
before the Johnson Flynn battle.
which contest Rudy really won, but
got no better than a draw He
knocked out tough one in Vic

he has done enough to demonstrate
that he is a real come back.
There is no reason now why the
promoters shouldn't take care of

little fellow who gives his very
best efforts at all times. The game
would be vastly better off If some
