SPORT SLANTS

When he was at his best in the ring, few boxers knew more tricks or could step around faster than Chuck Wiggins.
 Wiggins was as game as they made them when he was skipping around, first, welterweights, then middleweights, light heavyweights and finally heavyweights.
 He seldom appealed to the referee when an opponent gouged him in the eye, elbowed him or otherwise ig- nored the rules of the game. Wig gins merely did a better job of roughing it than the man he was fighting.
 One thing, however, that Wiggins could not stand: he would not allow anyone to massage his ears with the boxing gloves.
 The playboy was proud of those ears, for while they might have been beaten down a few times, they were not badly marked.
 He really saw red" when such an insult was handed him, and his op- ponent was in for a rough voyage the rest of the fight.
 Hoosier Playboy
 Whenever Wiggins had blg fight he received as much as $10,000 fol one fight-he entertained lavishly
 It was nothing for the Hoosiel playboy to obtain several suites in g hotel, open the connecting doors and invite all present to partake oi food, drink and fun.
 There are stories that he some times kept up the show until he hac to borrow money enough to get back home.
 IL was on Sunday afternoon ano Wiggins and some of his friends were bored because there was noth- ing to do.
 Chuck was driving in the vicinity of the union depot in Indianapolis when one of his associates said he wanted excitement and he wanted il quickly.
 OK" the battler said. He drove up onto the sidewalk and ran head l on into the side of brick building

 Gene Tunney, former heavyweight champion of the world, was Wiggins idol Pictures of the champion are to be found all over the playboy's home.
 Wiggins, who helped train Tunney for his championship bout with Jack Dempsey, once fought the former marine over the 10-round route.
 Tunney was trying to perfect a new body punch, one which had to be timed perfectly or else go foul
 Twice Tunney let go with the punch and twice it landed well in the foul territory, to the distress of Wiggins.
 It was only after the third low punch, though, that Wiggins made any protest
 Try and get that thing little higher, Gene" he asked
 The referee played no part in the matter. It was something strictly be- tween Wiggins and another fighter. Now, eyesight poor, money gone, and his ring days ended, Wiggins sometimes is problem to himself. A barber friend was shaving him the other day. The razor slipped and cut Wiggins on the throat.
 I'm sorry, Chuck" his friend said.
 That's all right, kid" Wiggins answered. Tt wouldn't have been a bad idea if it had done the job right. I've imposed too much on all of my friends anyway. What differ ence would it make to anybody"
