had all kinds OF operations to improve
their ring strength. but II remains for

cleaned up. This was necessary. be-
cause with each succeeding battle Gus
was finding that his oyes were getting
tighter and he feared that within q
short time he would scarcely be able
to look out through the narrowing lids.
The operation was an entire sue
cess and now Gus announces, through
his manager, Sam Murbarger. that he
is ready for any Of them.

mate middleweights," said Sam. Hes

and be strong. He's never been knock
ed on his feet. Anybody, any time. for
