 Twice in as many weeks Ben- iamin, once a lightweight prize- fighter. once the friend of Jack Dempsey and once the husband Of the beauteous Marian Nixon, has personally moved to make them regularly featured events.
 Benjamin's first main event was in a night club. His apparently unwilling opponent was Fred Perry the worlds tennis champion. Ben- jamin said he was forced to strike down Perry because he insisted on inserting himself at table where Benjamin was entertaining Renee Torres and Mona Rico, of the films. Ben jamin claimed the fray was a vicious one and said he earned the decision. Perry said it was "all sissy stuff"
