Hooks and JabS
By Kirk Miller

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-Harry
Jeffra'S ma and pa were at the
ringSide and wept with joy in the
new champs dressing room over
"our boys" victory.
Harry's mother is Of Irish de-
scent and his father of Italian.
The lad takes more after his
mother, having taffy hair and the
SWEETEST smile you ever saw on a
fighters mug.
The kid fights as though he
enjoyed every second of it. He
won the featherWeight champion
ship in a golden gloves finals at
Richmond three years ago last
winter, and decided to turn pro.
He is an exceptionally finished
golfer, having caddied at most of
Baltimore's clubs and holds a
course record at Suburban Golf
Club of SO. He is the third cham
pion Max WaXman, his manager,
has had. Max handled both Dun
deeS, Joe and Vince.
Washingtonians who trekked to
New York to see the champion
ship circus included Heinie lavish
and John McInerney. Sonny
Workman sat with this distin-
guished Washington pair-follow-
ing swell winning ride on Dress
age at Belmont in the afternoon,
don't think this Marcel Thil,
the bald pate of Paree, will do
in American rings. He seems to
have no particular plan of battle
and while he strikes forth con-
stantly, his blows are light and
ineffective.
That Ceferino Garcia, who gave
Barney Ross such an interesting
evening, knows not what it is to
quit. Many thought if the fight
had been longer he might have
beaten Ross, an opinion I do not
share. If Is rounds isn't long
enough-What the blazeS will eS-
tabliSh class!
Lou Ambers, the lightweight
monarch, simply didn't know how
to take apart Pedro Montanez,
whose defensive stance is harder
to solve than a time lock. While
Ambers won handily enough, he
couldn't land his Sunday punch
except on Pedro'S muscles.
Pardon me if I don't seem to be
able to get away from Little Harry
Jeffra. His was a heady fight.
His arms are longer than Esco-
bars and the wee Baltimorean hit
and circled, hit and circled, all
night long, keeping pretty well
away from SiXto except when he
was firing.
Mike Jacobs, the promoter, WIN
conceived the Carnival o. Cham
pions didn't take a licking at the
gate, yet he can't order a new
yacht today. He expected $4,000
people at the inSde, and if he
broke 10000 he can't squawk.
The next important fight in the
offing will be in Miami next
February, with Tommy Farr and
Petey Sarron among the featured
artists.
George Hussey the Miami
Chamber of Commerce publicist.
is on hand to iron out the details
with the Twentieth Century Sport

Don't know whether you radio
listeners could hear it or not. but

rampant in the stands and pro.
