How Harry Maynard Changed Lazy Fighter Into Deadly Hitter in the Old Days.
(W TIM Me6RATA

A lot of the old-timers will tell you that June Dennis, early-day col ored light heavyweight, was one of the hardest hitters of all time. Here's a little story of how June got that way.
 In those days, Harry Maynard's s cafe in San Francisco was the scene of a fight or so every night. There was d ring in the back room and grudge fights would be settled there.
 The only charge was the passing of the hat -. There were some mean enough to say that when Har- ry passed the hat he had way of Coaxing gold pieces under the sweat band and dumping the silver for the fighters. Johnny Herget, who as Young Mitchell won the middle weight title from George LaBlanche. got his start as a fighter at May nard's.
 Maynard kept fighter or two around to meet all corners. Anyone with pugilistic ambitions could meet one of these. If he stuck four rounds, the visitor got $50.
 June Dennis was one Of Maynard s fighters. He went fine for awhile. then became lazy. Maynard got the hunch that restored Dennis to ac- tivity and made him d great punch CT. He hit one opponents head once and dislocated the mans shoulder. Many old-timers contend his uppercut was deadly.
 Four young men. posing as medi- cal students, met June, bought him several drinks, and before he had time to think things over he had accepted $50 for his body for dissec- ton after his demise. The coroner, in on the joke, agreed to deliver the body.
 Alone and sober, Dennis worried. Finally. he told Maynard.
 Maynard argued that it was like finding $50; that if you're dead. all the dissecting in the world won't hurt-which mortified poor June Dennis.
 The telephone rang. Maynard an- swered. June cooked his head to listen.
 Hello, doctor, this is Maynard speaking. Yes, 1 have one subject for you, but he isn't quite ready.'
 Dennis moaned, Maynard contin- ued:
 "I know, doctor, I know. But l can't deliver the body until the mans dead can I? Now listen, doc tor. Hes lazy and doesn't fight like he should. I'm matching him with the toughest men l can. One of these fellows will get him soon."
 Then Maynard hung up, saying June's doctors were insistent upon delivery.
 You listen to me, Mistah May nard," said June, suddenly angry. None of desc men l gwine fight goin' to kill me. I'm goin' knock 'em dead d-every one"
 Next day, a new sign in front of Maynard's told the world that June Dennis. colored cyclone, was meet ing all corners. There were all kinds of challenges. but it was months be- fore anyone stayed four rounds and won the $50.
 June just wasn't letting anyone beat him.

The Trinity Methodists, held even Tor nearly three quarters by a dis organized but fighting Center Con- gregatlonal team, finally pulled the game out of the fire with a success sion of hair-raising baskets and won the last game Of the first round by SV-l4.
