MISS ELIZABETH SMITH of
1V1 Greenback, Tenn, has been
such o fight fan for years that she
has undertaken the handling Of two
amateur battlers, She recently filed
entries for her two charges, well
ter and light-heavy, in Knox
vile amateur mitt show, stating:
II don't want my boys to get beat
up" In other words she wants her
proteges to be one-way fighters
dish it out but not take it in.
TINE worlds best alibi for duck
l. ing war has been supplied by
Primo Camera, the alleged prize
fighter. lie explains chat he was
denied a chance to serve against
the Philippians because his country
preferred to have him act as "Ital-
ian ambassador of athletics to the
u. S." The guess is that the Italian
generals decided it was far cheaper
to leave Primo at home than to feed
him at the front.

A MOTHER foreign fistic "phe-
"A nom" is fighting in America.
He is Frenchman Andre Lenglet, %,
height feet 3 inches, weight 210.
He is supposed to have lost only
two bouts in so and holds draw
with Tommy Loughran. That's the
tip-off. Send him back on the next
boat. Loughran has been washed up
for a couple of years.
Hank Greenberg, Detroit first
sacker, has fixed it up for his
brother Joe to soak up the sunshine
and enjoy free board this spring.
Joe will be taken South on the
Tigers training trip as candidate
for something or other.

out in front, 10 to 10.
Cathedral scored three points to
start the last half, but Brown,
Mcdaniel and Mueller connected

THE Italian has trained harder than

daily workouts have been his steady
fare for more than a month since he
reached Berlin. He has clipped off
as many as IS fast 300-meter runs
in a single day.
"I guess he comes closest to being
a machine than any runner ever
saw" Constock said. Hes done
three times as much work as would
recommend, but I have kept my hands
off. II he wins this race-and don't
know who is going to beat him-I will
have to revise every theory ever
had on conditioning. I hardly can

grounds, then returned to their seats.

in the stadium was the aged Field
