BOXER JOHNNY RAY
IS A PHILANTHROPIST
Lends 81 900, No Interest, to
Help Boy Through College.

PITTsBrRG. Pa. March S--Several
years ago Johnny Ray, the well known
local boxer, was n visitor at the Pitt
football camp at Windber, the guest of
his brother. Dave P!tler, the Panther
quarterback. While there he learned
that one Of the members of the team
was in financial straits which made life
burdensome.
Johnny called the young man aside
and told him he wanted to lend him
$1,000 to enable him to complete his
education. You can pay it back when
you are graduated and get on your feet.
Theren he no interest charges" said
Johnny, and he handed the gridiron star
d check for 1000.
\ few days ago Johnny received a
check for $1,000 in payment OF the
debt and was asked to accept interest,
which he Indignantly refused to do. 1T
was simply an act of friendship" said
he, and didn't expect and didn't want
to make II business transaction or get
any profit out OF it. 1t was simply some
thing I'd like IN have some other fellow
DO for Dave. had Dayo needed the help"
This incident reflects credit on Ray
and shows him AZ decidedly different
from many professional athletes who are
always looking for a big percentage on
any money they invest or spend. BY the
way, the young recipient OF his loan has
made good since he graduated from PITT
and Is at present IN way TO gain fame
and fortune In his chosen profession.

Several American writer's who were at
the rngside and one English critic who
had the courage to tell the truth are on
record with complete exposures OF the
scheme. The British ringside expert
frankly admitted that Heenan was
robbed, and gave the details Of the al
fair. He said that not only did Heenau
beat Sayers to pulp. but that the Eng
lish fighter was unable to rise from his
corner at the close OF the forty-second
round, and that his roughneck friends
then broke into the ring and stopped the
slaughter OF their favorite.
According to this critic, Heenan
noored Sayers In every round OF the
battle. and at the close Of the thirty
seventh round il was evident Sayers
was about done for. His adherents then
started riotous demonstr alton, but
Heenan ignored them and continued TO
fight with accustomed vigor.
In the thirty-eishth round Frank
Bowling. the referee, for some unae-
countable reason LEFT the ring and dis
appeared. The Sayers gang evidently
thought this would bring the battle TO
an end. but Heenan insisted on hghtiTg
without referee and resumed knock
ing Sayers all about the ring.
As Sayers declined TO answer the call
for the forty-third round. Heeaan's sec

and Heenan then made a rush at Sayerr
in his corner and a free night ensued in
which Heenan disabled several OF tho
backeis of the beaten boxer. When this
subsided Sayers was carried from the
ring by his helpers, and Heenan leaped
over the ropes and ran distance to
show that he was still in fighting trim.
There was no referee in the ring at the
close to give n decision, but in spite O.
the fact that Sayers by refusing to
come out Of his corner for the forty
third round had under the London rules
lost the fight the contest was declared
by the English newspapers to have ended
