Jack Torrance, who ate himself
out of an olympic championship,
appears TO have conquered his APP
petite.
For the next few months Tor
rance, pared down to mere $50
pounds, will be fed nothing but the
choicest assortment Of stumble
buns and roundheels. For Baby
Jack surprised even his fndest adj
mirers In his bow as a professional
pugilist in New Orleans the other
night. ,.
Mike Jacobs has Terrence, and
no one realizes the ring possible
ties Of q gigantic collegian with the
athletic background Of the Louisiana
State luminary more than the old
Broadway ticket scalper.
With the boys already comparing
Torrance with Jim Jeffries, Jacobs
should make the Great American
Sucker Tour of Primo Camera look
like a whirl around q kerosene cir
cult without even having to call up
on the Big Boy Of the Bayous to
prove that he can take punch
without losing his speed and head.
Torrance weighed 800 pounds
when he returned from Berlin last
summer and told Jacobs that he
woull like to take whirl at the
beak busting business. Jacobs sent
Herb Brodie to New Orleans to de-
velop the large blond who tossed
the 16-pound shot to new world
record while a student at LS.U,
where he also played heaps Of
tackle and was the varsity basket
ball center.
Brodie was good enough light
weight to fight Rocky Kansas and
the late Joe yelling. He was under
the management OF the late Paddy
Mullins, the Bowery character who
handled Mike O'Dowd and OIL Har'
Wills.
1t wasn't Torrance's feat that i'm
pressed the critics, for one Owen
Flynn Of Augusta, Me-, obviously
was setup. 1t was the manner In
which Baby Jack disposed Of Flynn
in Just two minutes.
torrance will be champion"
says Brodie. "Jack is just about the
fastest heavyweight in boxing and
packs q punch in both hands. He
learns quickly. He was jabbing well
after only three weeks. developed
his left hand first because didn't
want him to start out right-hand

FEATURE RING
BOUTS TONIGHT
Phillips, Local Boy Meets
Billy Welsh; ValIOne
vs. Massey

Promoter George Mulligan Of the
Waterbury AyC. has another fine
program lined up for presentation
to the amateur fight fans at Buck
ingham hall tonight, featuring IL
bouts In which O galaxy Of the
states stars will be seen in action.
The opening contest will go on
promptly at $3.50 o'clock.
One Of the top bouts Of the even
ing, according to Matchmaker Dick
Gray, will have as Its principals,
Johnny Sullivan, New Haven Irish
middleweight sensation and Art
Peplau, the New Britain flash. Both
are good mixers, sturdy punchers
and are content only when they are
whaling the very daylights out Of an
opponent.
Promising
Sullivan and Pepleau each possess
remarkable records and their re-
spective list OF subdued mixers In
cludes some of the best In Connec-
ticut as well as nearby states. The
former has twice defeated Frankie
Buff, local favorite and recently
upset Sam Maltempo, the state
middleweight champion, who halls
from Willimantic.
Another feature bout will show
Julie Hogan, New Haven Jewish
slugger, who last week scored a
knockout victory over joey Marcus,
and Mike Moran, hard hitting
Bridgeport youth. Moran In his ap-
pearance here last week handed Joe
Gierner, Of this city, lacing, and
should be able to show to an adj
vantage against the Elm City boy.
Moran has won his last 10 fights
and Is reported to be in fine shape
for his meeting with Hogan. AL
though the experts consider their
chances even, 1t would be big sur
prise to see Moran punch his way
out on top. The Bridgeport worthy
has been seeking a pairing with
Hogan for some time and he Is more
than anxious to make good tonight.
Eddie Phillips, Waterburymiddle-
weight, who held Sam Malteppo to
a draw lest week, gets the call
against Billy Walsh, Stratford slug
ger. Walsh is big favorite In the
Elm ity and only last week knocked
out Lou Borzain, the fighter who
was awarded technical knockout
win over Frankie Buff when the
latter received a cut over his right
eye In q recent bout. This bout
should be slugging bee from the
start and a knockout Is likely.
The heavyweight attraction Of the
evening will show joey Casey, New
Haven, and Leo Lomski Of Bridge
port. Both have been successful in
recent engagements and should dish
out a fine display Of fistic fireworks
while they are going at 1t.
Tom Collins, Waterbury negro
middleweight, and Young Bumbo,
New Haven italian favorite, have o
punching date. Both boys are short
on experience and lively tussle Is
anticipated.
Second Try
Red vollone, Crosby high school
football star, who got his baptism
Of fire on last weeks program,
emerging victorious In rapid fire
knockout over ILew Massey. OF
Bridgeport, will appear in action.
Other Waterbury boys that will
seek q spot on the card are Jimmy
Robinson middleweight; Adam
Kohen, welterweight; Joe Gierner,
lightweight; Eddie Bellns and Tom

Best Since Dempsey, etc.
It was an interesting experiment
in New Orleans, and my most trusted
operatives were at the ringside.
Their reports astound me. Il didn't
see Jeffries in his prime, but for
more than rs years I've heard about
the boilermaker's left and fighters
who knocked out opponents with q
iab," writes Fred Digby," who has
seen and written about the better
heavyweights from Jack johnson to
Jim Braddock. 1T remained for Jack
Torrance to demonstrate 1t to me
for the first time. Torrance has the
most potent left jab I've ever seen
propelled by heavyweight.
"He launches his career with
more coordination and a much
finer background than Jess Will
lard Of Camera.
"A majority probably expected
to see a numbering giant Of the
Camera type, or a colorless fellow
like willard.
Instead they saw a >26O-pound
athlete with the speed Of a light
weight. You've read and heard that
before, but this time 1t is the UNI
vanished truth. Not since Jack
Dempsey came to New Orleans in
1918 to train for his match with
Carl Morris have seen a heavy
weight entitled to the tag a pos
sible champion as Is Jack Tor
rance.
"I'm assuming that Torrance will
train faithfully and make the neces-
sary sacrifices to succeed. Also that
he can take IT. and stand up.
Torrance showed that he has
the spirit of a good fighter. One
might even say he displayed the
killer instinct, for he did not give
Flynn a chance from the time his
first snappy jab cut a cash In the
Irishman's mouth and made him
ready of the XIII until the finish"
Ample Room Even for One
As Bulky rs Torrance
Harry Martinez, sports editor OF
the New Orleans States, seconds
Digby, and stresses the all-import-
ant fact that Torrance Is not mus
cle-bound anywhere, including be-
tween the ears.
Dick Burke. former president OF
the National Boxing association and
one-time Louisiana boxing commits
sioner, asserts that Torrance looks
much more formidable today than
Willard did a year before he lifted
the title from Jack Johnsons close
ly cropped noggin.
Torrance, %, stands 9 feet ana
has q reach of 10 inches.
Until he buckled down to train
ing, Torrance,s boxing experience
consisted OF couple Of gymnasium
sessions with schoolmates. Now
some predict that he will move into
the select class Of heavyweights IN
less than six months.
It Is to be hoped that they are
right, gor there Is ample room even
for one as bulky as Jack Torrance.
II might be advisable to withhold
the verdict until the seeking shot
putter Is hit solidly and with au-
thority by someone OF some worth.
however. 1t would be unwise to
build Torrance up on a none-too-
firm foundation. There is too much
OF him to fall.
