decision over George Shade. box
about him. When he stopped Al
Roberts in six rounds two weeks
ago the promoters looked him up.
AL Stone is real fighting man.
Though he is only twenty-one
years old now he served with the
army overseas and after his dis
charge re-enlisted in the Marine
Corps. He was stationed near
Philadelphia and soon after he be-
gan to box other service men he
attracted the attention of Quaker
City promoters.
Stone was discharged from the
service only a few weeks ago. He
has since won three fights. He
OutpOinted Charley O'Nel in
eight rounds and stopped Roberts
in six rounds.
In these bouts he showed i'm
provement over the form he dis
PLAYED in the service scraps. At
the present time he is being taught
by competent instructors and his
manager, Lon Segal, is carefully
selecting his opponents. Segal does
not intend to ruin SO promising
fighter.
Stones present weight is IFS
pounds. He has the ideal build for
a fighter-massive shoulders and
chest, loose muscled arms and
plenty Of hitting power. His weight
Is we'll distributed above his waist.
His features bear striking re-
semblance to those of Jack Demp-
sey. He has heavy, bushy eye
brOws, a firm jaw and keen
eye. In other respects, however,
he is far removed from the cham
piOn's class.
He lacks experience and weight,
but a year hence may be a formid-
able man in the heavyweight divi-
sion, as he probably will take on
from fifteen to twenty pounds of
natural growth. He is six feet in
height.
Stone did practically no boxing
until this year. His record, there
fore, Is not impressive as most
of his bouts were with other serv-
ice men. He won nine out of thir-
teen fights by knockouts before he
quit the marines.
