Ahearn turns up with a
gold" spoon in his mouth
in the way Of an eimina-
ton tourney to coronate a
new local title holder.
I don't know what Jimmy
Irwin, who is Everett's man
ager, thinks, but you can't
award his man the title solely
on the strength of his defeat
of Brown last Monday. That
would be unfair to the other
heavyweights in this area, not
the least of which is Bobby
Tow, the Alexandria Adonis,
who has a victory chalked up
over Everett Of some times
standing.
What About Tow?
Certainly Everett has got to
prove that he is a better man
than Tow before he can lay any
claim to the top ranking locally
among the heavies and such a
meeting will probably be the
first business before the House
of Turner and Ahearn when
Goldie RECEIVERS from his pres"
emit indisposition and gets
around to bracketing the heavies
for the elimination which will
find a successor to Browns
throne.
Meanwhile, Brown wants to
get in on the tournament. He
figures that while he may be
down a notch in the heavy
weight scales, he isn't out, and
already Matte, through his
astute manager, roly-poly Will"
liam Mccartney, is pressing for
o return bout, AT Is ROUNDS.
I CHANGED upon Mr.. McCar-
ney lurking behind one Of the
three-boxes adjacent to his
favorite cocktail nook. and
while he was philosophical
about his Mates defeat by
Everett, he wasn't resigned to
it, and he was proclaiming in
no indefinite terms that the
decision against Brown was not
q popular one.
Mccartney Bewildered
He was still somewhat in a
Fog. In fact, for a man with his
wide experience in the per1lous
business which is fighting, he
seemed more disillusioned than
one would expect.
''Yet," as he said with a Shrug
of his shoulders, "that's the
racket. YOu'S GOT to stand by
the decision of the officials.

Irwin Always 0bliging :.
Well, Bill, to give you a public
answer, I wouldn't be surprised
If you got your return bout-a
little later on in the summer.
Jimmy Irwin, as long as I've
known him, has never been any"
one to run away from fight,
particularly when it meant pick
ing up a chunk of change, and
there is no reason he'd enter
tain any fear of sending his man
Everett back at Brown when the
most advantageous time arrives.
Meanwhile, Everett's position
Is none too tenable. He MUST

has broken even with Tony Gal

trouble around here.
While Irwin and Everett are
in the saddle all right, the quick"
est way for them to get the pub
lie sour on them is for them to
be too perSnickerty who they
fight or too slow about doing it.
Too, if he's got Everett in good
stride right now, which seems
to be the case, Irwin should keep
him in training by FIGHTING
not PLAYING cat and mouse.
