threat In the heavyweight division
OF boxers, 10 confined In . hospital
In Sakinaw a. the result Of q knife
wound IN HE right shoulder. The
wound. according to Saginaw DO
lice. was inflicted by Packs father
in-law last Wednesday night.
Hospital authorities 1t first ex-
pressed fear that they would have
to amputate Packs arm TO save b II
life. However. late reports indi-
cate that II will not be necessary
TO resort 10 this drastic treasure
to save the young fighters life.
While the surgeons announced
that they could probably save
Packs arm. they were firm in their
convictions that Packs fighting
days are over. They fear that the
lIgiments which were severed with
the knife. will tighten after they
heal, removing the deadly hitting
power that the big fellow once pos
sessed.
Altno. Rh Pack failed 20 arrive
At tn top. he WA one OF the best
prospects 10 come across thu .istic
horizon Ia many moons when he
was ~ ockins down the opposition
10 ANA eur ranks. A disdaiu f,r
training regulations and 4 jovial
hiiarity proved serious obstacles
in his path following his profess
sional debut In 1895.
In his last appearance in a De-
trCit ring Pack was stopped by
Matte Brown IN the final round of
. ten-round bout. Ringsids observ-
ers claim Pack wss far ahead on
points until Browns terrific right
landed on his jaw. He previously
had been knocked out by Issdor
;astenkra In 4 bout In the Univer-
sity OF Detroit Stadium.
Well. the national golf cham
pionships are over, and ovt OF the
welter OF competition. two cham
pionships were collected by those
who reside In Detroit. DR.. r. Rob-
inson stroked his way Ia the ma
tional amateur crown. and Mrs.
Marie Thompson Jones. former
womens champion. beIted the ball
far enough to grab the long dis
lance driving title.
While the acquisition OF the anna
teur and distance driving cham
pionships in the field Of golf may
have Satisfied many followers OF
the sport, toere are thousands OF
others who are clamoring for a
larger amount of the relishing
food. They want 4 few pAre cham
pionships.
II 10 the contentios OF these fol-
lowers that Detroit has the mate
rial within It's confines to bring
every title in Eolfdom back. provid-
Ing this material is systematically
developed. II = their intention to
launch an extensive campaign with
the developing OF this raw material
a. the prime objective.
There is no question but that
Detroit golfers could 70 much far

ward greater achievements ia the

The same 10 true OF tennis. There
is = serious need Of capable In
structors for promising young
players.
In boxing We have INSTRUCTORS TO
give the young crop OF amateur
