meet the cool, calculating crunching
of Jones with an affable nature
that will bewildcr his most staunch
hackers. The fans however, are in
clined to treat the statement as so
much applesauce" as once "Kot-
sy' gets into action 'pin him at any
price becomes his slogan.

been eliminated as complete as was

This week Knute Hansen will
tackle Paolino, the Basque wood
chopper, whom Rickard believes will
be another Firpo as far as gate re-
ceipts are concerned. The winner of
this bout, should he exhibit suffic-
lent class, could not be disposed of
easily. He would be entitled to
another chance in the elminations.
Thus, to balance things, Rickard
would like to have Dempsey come
back to complete the list of four
finalists. Maloncy versus Paollno
or Hansen, and Dempsey versus Me
Tiguc or Sharkcy would about full
fill Rckard S dreams of promot-

If such drawing cards could be
