After Shaving many years in the Tin

The conditions in the mill in the

not sleep in their miserable homes,
the rooms being stuffy and hot.

Realizing that only the greatest Or

can save and free the nine boys, the
workers are marshalling their forces
for another tremendous demonstra-

they will thunder anew their demand
for the release of the nine victims

CHICAGO, July 6.-Angered at the
savage attacks by the bosses and
their NAACP tools on the Scottsboro

BY JACK DEMPSEY


Billy Petrolle is a fistic youth
who provides fine moral les
son for those who become dis
couraged and decide to quit
chosen profession because Of a
series of setbacks.
In the middle of 1929 Petrolle,
then only "a. decided he had
grown "too old" to do any more
successful fighting and this, plus
a couple of Setbacks, decided him
to doff the mittens. He had a
few thousand laid aside and felt
that he could invest it in some
business.
Months passel. Billy didn't
find any business in which he
could invest safely. He then
tried for a job here and there
he aspired to be a business
man"-but jobs were scarce.
Jack Hurley, his manager.
pointed out that Billy could
whip most f the lightweights
in the game. Finally Billy
decided to make one more try.
His first shot was against
Jack "urvis. 1t went 10 rounds,
no decision in Indianapolis,
with Billy winning the news
paper decision by a shade.
Petrolle, in his next start,
stiffened Joe Brooks in three
and followed that no with four
more knockouts. He won de-
cision from Johnny Curtin and
flattened the next three. He
then took on Tony Canzonerl,
who since won the lightweight
title, and beat him on points,
10 rounds in Chicago.
Setback BY Berg
Then came setback at the
hands of Jackie Berg in New
York on October 10, 1930-a TO-
round decision. The battle was
a thriller and even in defeat
Petrolle became a hero in New
York. He was accorded a chance
against Jimmy McLarnin IN
Madison Square Garden on NO
vember 81, 1890, and turned in
q sensational battle, having the
Irishman on the floor several
times and dealing out to Jimmy
in the 10 rounds the worst beat
ing the Coast boy ever took.
Some months ago they met
again-PetrOIIe and McLarnin
and Jimmy gained the hon
ors but it was a fierce con-
test and the result was in
doubt until the last round. In
his next important mixup the
man who thought himself a
failure in 1929 knocked out
JustO JuareZ, the slugging
Latin, and now Billy PetrOllc
is sitting atop the lightweight
division.
Petrolle has earned close to
