bands to break away from the &C., cepted sweet style of the Lombar- dos and add 8 dash of New Or leans and Harlem to their regular routine. Many radio listeners at first mistook them for another ebony musical crew.
 AND HE'S GOT
 A SWINGING BROTHER
 The current Dorsey band was or ganized in 1885. It is the outgrowth of the Dorsey Brothers band, for the Dorsey tag also stands for Jimmy Dorsey, hot-shot saxophone and clarinet player. Jimmy also has a swing band of his own. It borders on the -Dixieland type of early swing band and is in high repute with "hep cats" who worship his solid tive, but Tommy's sweet swingsters are the more popular of the two.
 The Dorsey Brothers and their torrid brasses have been associ- ated with fast jazz music for years. They came out of the eastern coal mining district of Pennsylvania.
 They hit big-time jazz with Gold kett's band. From there they went to the California Ramblers, an early hot jazz outfit. And they've been with Paul Whiteman, Ted Lewis, Dave Rubinoff, Nat Shilkret, Red Nichols, Gus Haenschen, Vincent Lopez and Rudy Vallee. Tommy worked with Benny Goodman in the Rubinoff band.
 When they left Vallee in 1884, it was to form their own Dorsey Brothers band. Tommy split with Jimmy in 1885 to organize his own outfit.
 HOW SWEET" SWING
 IS MANUFACTURED
 Dorsey's band doesn't depend upon the drums to set the rhythm as is the case in bands that play the Harlem" style of swing. Tommy believes that five muted brass in- struments can whisper swing just as convincingly as when they open up and play "barrelhouse."
 The various styles of swing mu- sic are dependent upon the group ing of accented or unaccented sounds. The swing is mechani- cally created bp the way the notes are grouped for emphasis. It doesn't

 Recently, Tommy acquired Hymie Schartzer, former member of Good- mans sax section, for his band. In turn, Goodman got Dave Tough, Tommys original drummer. Both were pleased. And both continue to blaze the ever-increasingly popular swing trail.

Not satisfied with the beating handed him by Guggino at New Haven two weeks ago, the slugging Mack has buckled down and is in tip-op shape and means business in the attempt to wipe out his one setback in the pro ranks. Mack carried too much weight in his first meeting with the fast moving Red" sharpshooter and has scaled down few pounds for this go and will carry the fight at full speed from bell to bell. Guggino IS hard at work and will be in fine shape to block off the rushing Mack and show his recent win was TO huke.
