70 know that his title is in no I'M
mediate danger from any Of the sur
vivors of the heavyweight elimination
tournament which was staged by Mr.
Jimmy Johnston, known as the Boy
Bandit, at Madison Square Garden
last night. There were no survivors.
The contestants eliminated one an
other and Mr.. Johnston eliminata
the gate, which totaled something like
es.75.
From $3.50 on nothing was heard
but the petulant pop of the five ounce
glove and the thunderous thud of the
falling heavyweight. There was moth
sng like 1t since the earthquake OF
1906 shook down all the ChinNs in
San Francisco one morning. Some
OF. the contestants seeing the remains
OF their predecessors brought in
from the ring escaped through the
side exits and went back to plead
for the jobs they had abandoned for
ring careers.
Mr.. Johnston was deeply panied at the
support his laudable efforts to rplift
the ring. He was even more deeply
distressed when it was found that the
customer In the gallery was not really

hibitues who had come early to get q.

Gypsy Prince Daniels who staged the
main event with one Stewart Bell as
an accomplice and accessory before and
after hA 70 f1lli-

have been written as the Gypsy Ounce.
But Jimmy Johnston pointed TO his
cauliflowex ear as proof Of the princes
royal line. All gypsy princes have
caulifower ears. Gypsy princes give
them the mark with the royal flatiron.
Bell was SO overcome by laughter at
sight OF the prince that Daniels had no
trouble In getting the decision. Bell
was dropped twice in the second round,
but Il looked as though he were over
come by the joke rather than Daniels's
punches, as he went down laughing
both times. He seemed to have adopted
Ine Cohanesque motto. Always leave
them laughing as you take the count"
The customers were chuckling with him.
The only person who could not see

heavyweights. II Johnston can talk
himself out OF this predcainent It will

fourth round after Danny O'Connell OF
Brooklyn tapped him pensively on the

OF what is slangily called the roped
arena called no more. All that he heard
was the singing OF little birds and the
voice OF the referee counting slowly up
TO ten.
In the second bout Jimmy Give won

Frank Johns OF Brooklyn took his dive
carly In the first round with Ed Healey
OF Bridgeport. Mr.. Healey reached into
"a large table d'hote dinner which Johns
had packed away early In the evening
