"TURLEY'S main interest is good
" matches for the fans and he
hopes to bring about the original bout
between Zarynoff and Kirilenko in
the near future. Kirilenko openly
declares he does not like Zarynof
simply because the latter comes from
Ukrainia and is the champion Of
that country. Although Ukrainia is
part of Russia there is a bitter
feeling between the real Russians
and the Ukrainians."
So you see this is another grudge
fight.
Last week I wrote I was an old
time wrestling fan and consider
nothing as an insult to my intelli-

Oh, boy, am I glamorous and hard

This flight of eloquence has moved
the elusive editor of the New
Masses" to drop me the following
note, written, I'm sure, on compaz-
time:
| EDWARD NeWh0uSe,
"Glamorous and Hardboiled
Sports Editor,
DAILY Worker,
Dear Eddie,
"You are right. I am a studene.
My latest study has been the sports
column of the Daily Worker. I shall
spare you the scholarly details and
give you only the conclusion. It's a
lively column which have enjoyed
reading literally from coast to coast
But you are more than lively. You
are-god knows how you manage it
accurate. Any sports writer who
knows his business would know in
advance the winner of the Brown
ing-Savoldi match. But how did you
know that never heard Of Sa-
voldi. -?
I'm the course of long life many
things have happened to me. But the
most glamorous and hardbolled ex-
perience of all I owe to you, you
son of mother who makes excellent
cauliflower soup, you.
Never did I dream that, despite
my dislike for exercise, prize fights,
| W1coblulS ludtCilCo dilQ itOCkty,
would be mentioned in sports col.
umn and at that with Joe Savoldi.
"As ever,
"Joe Freeman"
NEAR JOE:
~ don't know how guessed that
about you and the other Joe. It's a
sort of sixth sense I have about those
things. Maybe it's the way you look
at me sometimes. You have those
characteristic lines about the mouth
and eyes that I noted in people who
don't know about Joe Savoldi. Mar
eel Proust had them, and D'Annun-
zio, whom I mention above. For a
moment caught them in Carl Hub
bells expression when Myer singled
in the fourth game.
Something concrete. Get your
weeks salary down on Browning in
Mondays bout. This is right steer.
I wouldn't kid you.
MY love to the weekly New Masses.
Eddie.
