I promised my friends that I

With the battle still more than
three weeks off. / find myself but

his training period spent In the
mountains near Ventura, Calf. had
the shaTkey fight to keep him in

four afternoons week with Jimmy

POMPING AROUND THE
RADIO DIALS
stations
STAR IN AIR

Loud speakers did mostly that
last evening with fair to nliddling
delivery. there being some noise
and quite BIT Of solid silence
on the sound wave lengths.
Fading seemed to be the worst
enemy of good program recep-
tiOFl-wl1en programs could be
found. Some Of the low power
stations came 10 tuners when
high power failed them. Alto
getheF the evening was interest
ing for tuning experiments and
rather odd as 10 results obtained.
Two washington products-tIe
United States Navy Band from
WRC and Nation Boyce. pianist
from WMAIs-provided tuners with
reasons to express gratitude to the
man who invented radio receivers
last evening. Both provided listen
ers with concerts OF q kind that
make musicians happy and compel
laymen to feel there is. after all
something in the works Of great
composers.
The big feature Of the evening
was the playing Of the first part
OF Liszt's LES Preludes" by the
United States Navy Band. This
masterpiece Of composition ID. to our
way Of thinking. one Of the greatest
bits OF music ever composed. 1t il
a musical aIlegory In a class entirely
by itself. Designed to tell the story
OF life as q prelude to eternity, Of
the various struggles for existence
and the joys and sorrows and
triumphs Of living, it has many
points Of beauty unsurpassed in
tone building.
In his interpretation Of this great
work Lieut.. Charles Benter brought
out the entire resources of his
band and in the playing of the
first part. utilizing his wood wind
section to the utmost, he gave q
mastery reading Of the music.
PLAYS WEIRD
WALTZ WILDLY
In the second of his cllmactic
numbers, the Sibelius "VaIse
Triste," we believe Lieutenant Ben
ter lost fine opportunity in not
using the woods winds more ef-
fectively-or at least as effectively
in the first part of the weird dance
az he did in LES Preludes." with
the result that he lost q valuable
climax. Had he played this in the
same way he did the List number.
we believe it would have been the
most important thing on his pro.
gram.
Nation Boyce. pianist, was par.
ticularly effective in the group Of
Chopin numbers which formed the
middle portion of his short recital
from WMAL, although his finest
bit of playing was done with Sin
digs Rustic Of Spring in the fl
nal group, Boyoe is pianist OF rare
skill and Interpretive feeling. His
playing is always interesting and
last night was especially so az his
program was unusually well ar.
ranged.
The most important feature Of
the Roxy program in the early
evening was the excellent cOndensa-
ton of 1.-The Merry Widow pre-
scented In the latter part OF the
concert. The Bachelor Four.

self to be just another good quar-
tet. In the outside wave lengths
the big spot was the Goldman

When / was on tour, the world
wasn't very much cluttered with
good men. And those who were
good, dida't step up and take a
punching from me for a mere 81 600
So the "all-comers" consisted mainly
Of third and fourth raters - and
worse.
So / never needed to resort to
any trichery to put those fellows
away long before the 4th round
was reached. A tap ON the jaw, q
tap or two ON the body and then,
II they didn't read the handwriting
on the wall and insisted upon go.
ing further, I'D let a stout punch
lOOse-and that usually was the
end.
But that isn't the same story that
goes for the old timers. They had
TO meet some tough birds in their
touring lifetimes. for a purse offer
of $3.50 Or $500 was a lot of money
and some of the really good men
would make a try for it.
John l.. Sullivan was probably the
originator of the idea. No one kept
count as to how many men he
knocked out in such exhibition
bouts. But l imagine the total hit
iO0-or more. Most of them were
easy for John l.. but occasionally
there was an exception.
Sullivan had spent the afternoon
with some good fellows" and wasn't
in real shape to spar with anybody
that night. But he refused to listen
to his handlers and went into action
against a tough youngster who was
seeking the $3.50 that John L. offered
| to anyone who could stand UP with
him for four full rounds.
The yOungster opened up by
peppering John l.. with drives to
the chin and body. Sullivan, q
bit wObbly on his legs, was un-
able to step out Of the kids way
and also unable to balance HIM
self for counter punching. Things
went from bad to worse for John
L., and his handlers came to the
realization that il something
wasn't done to help him he was
liable to fall from exhaustion.
| One of them got a brick and
standing in the wings OF the stage
held it in such position as to give of
the idea that he was going to throw
it at the kid. When the youngstel
saw the menace of the brick hi
stopped punching Sullivan ant
ducked. Each time he started to tar
