Tompkins and Cohen figured that the only way Claude had of win ming that fight was by putting over a haymaker in the early rounds. If both men were on their feet at the end of the tenth they thought surely Mason through his ring generalship, would get the verdict. Claude double-crossed 'em. He tried for a knockout in the early rounds as per instructions. As a matter of fact he put ali he had into the early rounds, and was a bit fatigued midway in the figh- But he stuck doggedly to his task. and surprised 'em all by getting the verdict.
 Boost Him Along
 It's up to Magic City fans and local civic-priders to boost Claude along. He's a home grown prod uct. He's springing to fame iii the fight game in what Is really known in fistic circles as non fight town.
 Who can tell but what he will be flyweight champion or cham pion of some other light division one of these days. He's certainly gone as far forward as any other man seeking laurels in the squared arena ever did in such a short time. And he has certainly fought shy of set-ups in his pro- gressive march towards pugilistic fame.
 Of course anything might hap pen within the next year or so. A beating might jar his confi- dence loose. A tough fight might result in giving him injured hands. that would hamper his fu- ture work. He might prove that he reached the crest of. his abil- ity in 8 short time. and could get no further along the way.
 Those are the pessimistic views of his future.
 If you take another slant at the thing, Claudie might be fight ing championship battle one of these days. The boy who got his start in Birmingham. along with his Manager Tommy Tompkins, when both kept an accurate ac- count of their pocket change in order to insure lunch money
  ting away porterhouse as thick as the Encyclopedia Brittanica one of these days, and never missing the change.
 From sthe present angle it looks like Wilson is destined to make quite snug little bunch { of coin out of his fists. to say the least, and that Tompkins is to share in the harvest He de- serves 1t. does Tommy, because he's plugged and sweated and cussed and hammered the finer points of the game into his protege.
 Marking back a few years, I remember when Claude was an office boy over at The News, ana I used to give him orders and bawl him out for loafing with copy. How time flies. He was d wee bit of a kid in knicker- bockers then and I had already started foundation for torso. wouldn't dare bawl him now. for fear that he might take his .trusty right. or his jabbing left and tell me bedtime story by talking on his hands.

Then, as he reached the semi windup period, the weather eye of Octavus Roy Cohen was turned on the local phenom. Roy has seen many champions: he has also boxed considerably, and he has been interested in Claude from the start. It was mainly through his argumcntative powers, backed up by Messrs. Tompkins and Evans, that Wilson budded out into professionalism.
 And now these three men are grooming the boy for bigger and better things in the realm of pugilism. Dave Evans Is work Ing his heart out to condition tho local star. Dave suffered many black and blue spots recently instilling the Knowledge into Claude of what to do with a left hand. There was minus mark on the left in the Donza fight. Then in the short time interven- ing between Donza and Mason, Dave, with the help of Tompkins, showed Claude how to use that left, and he certainly used it to good advantage against Mason.
 
 Not Nursing Him Along
 Roy Cohen, through friendship and an eagerness to see one real champion spring up In his own home town; Dave Evans through pride that he taught the boy the first tricks of the trade, and Tommy Tompkins, by virtue of the fact that he's his manager and really brought him into the calcium glow, are all pushing the boy forward. They think he's got the makings of champion. And. contrary to the general methods used by managers and advisers they are shooting him along against some of the toughest op- position they can find. No set ups for Claude. Best of all the youngster doesn't want em.
 When Claude learned that he was to be sent against Little Jeff in Atlanta Labor Day he smiled.
 Might be rushing you a bit" grinned Tompkins. that boys tough"
 Me too" piped Claude. Give me anybody my weight and pair of boxing gloves and you'll never find me shirking, or mak- ing excuses"
 That's Claude Wilson up and down. He's got the confidence. Maybe a little too much confi- dence. Possibly Tompkins and Cohen and Evans figured that it would be best for him to take a beating at this stage of the game. They put him against Donza and were agreeably surprised when Claude earned a draw Then they brought Frankie Mason south.
 Undoubtedly Messrs. Evans.
