Blows Bounce Off Landers
Mean Little He Takes "Southern Bantam Title
by TOM DOERER.

he walked head on into one of Henry
Irvings straight rights. When the
Washington boy let his haymaker out
without leash, in the second round of
their six-rounder, Vance buckled and
went to sleep among the violets.
Up until the moment of taking the
gas, Vance was going along at safe
gait. He was exchanging punches with
his rival and gave the appearance of
being able to maintain the pace until
the last bell. But the locomotive hit
before the ex-collegiate could get his
kiddie car off the track.
Four other bouts preceded the two
big stunts, all of them ending in a
manner which seemed to please nearly
1,500 Washington and Virginia ring ca
naries. The cash customers were out
to see what the boys had and to help
charity.

from Panama, bantamweight champion
OF every country except China, lost one
OF the few fights of his career last night
in 10-round non-title bout with News

the aggressor almost throughout to win
the decision with five rounds, two going
to AL and the rest even. NeWsboy
weighed 1902.

a whirl OF gloves that kept the cham

Keeping consistently inside the rangy
Panaman's hard right, Newsboy liberally

~ Billy Landers Norfolk's sem
+ sational bantamweight, gained
an easy decision over frankie
McKenna of Baltimore in the eight
round feature of the Alexandria Day
Nursery Athletic Associations charity
fights at Portners Arena last night.
The sailor bettered McKenna in all
but the sixth round and dropped the
Oriole City ringman to the canvas
three times, once for the count OF f1ve
and on two occasions for the count OF
nine. Landers took plenty of punish
ment in the sixth when McKenna dis
carded his defensive tactics and start
ed on slugging Soirea of his own.
Landers' triumph firmly establishes
him as the outstanding bantamWeight
in the South and handlers of the Cob
declared they would lay claim to the
title and offer to meet any challengerS.
The victory also avenged defeat
which Landers suffered two years ago
at the hands of McKenna when the
former was just starting on his ring
career Jack Dempsey gave the Baltl-
more gloveman the nod over Landers
at Portsmouth, Va.
The semi final between Frankie
Vance, former Georgetown University
boxer, and Henry Irving, Washington
ght-heaHyweight, produced all the
thrills expected of it, with Vance with
ering beneath a powerful right and
going down for the count in the second
frame after a slam-bang opener The
"kayo" came 10 seconds after the round
opened.
Another knockout was scored in the
main preliminary with Kid Cosden OF
CorGova. Md. over Jack Lamar of
Cleveland. Ohio, in the fourth round
of their six-round engagement. In the

"Once more and

'VoU'vE disgraoed me for the last time!
l. I'm sick and tired of going out in the
evening with you when you haven't shaved
since morning. How you think you can get
away with it is beyond me. You don't fool
anyone but yourself by dabbing little
powder on your face. There wasn't another
man at the party with dirty growth of
stubble. don't care if it is a nuisance to
shave. What if your beard IS tough and
your skin tender! There must be something
wrong with the way you shave. I'm sure
there's a razor blade that will remove your
whiskers without hurting your face, and it's
up to you to find it.
Evening star., 1931-12-16

How much domestic discord can be traced
to scenes like this? We might as we'll admit
a growth of stubble is repulsive to most
women-wives, sweethearts, mothers and all.
BY shaving carefully once and often twice
day, we help to hold or win the respect and
affection of friends and family. A short time
ago shaving was task many men liked
to avoid. Today Gillette is offering razor
blade of remarkable quality that shears
stubborn beard cleanly and smoothly. Your
razor glides SO easily you scarcely know
you're shaving. Try this remarkable new
Gillette blade on our money-back guarantee.
Use blade or two. If every shave isn't far
more comfortable than any you have ever
experienced, return the package to your
dealer and he will refund the price.
