Something was wrong with the

The strange failures Of James
: Braddock are not SO strange ct
al since explanation has come to
me that the New Jersey light
heavy weight has been sick for
six months and has been sub.
jected to two minor operations
which he kept secret from the
public.
Last spring Braddock looked
like the most promising Of al
light heavies. Cool on action.
courageous, able to take a terrific
punching, he likewise could hit
with that right hand with power
greater than anyone in his diyi-
sion.
Braddock knocked out Ttlffy
Griffiths, a really great fighter,
and then he put away the clever
Jimmy Slattery. BY that last
victory he placed himself on top
81 all the challengers for the
light heavy crown, was entitled
i 70 8 crack at Tommy Loughran
and he got the shot.
