MIKE ''DIz"' HAS
new PUNCH FOR
CLOVES RIVALS
BY HOWARD JACOBS

He may not be a world beater,
in fact he has yet to hang up his
first Washington HeraldTimes
Golden Gloves tournament vic.
tory. But, if sincere effort means
anything, Bernard Mike CDiz) ES-
lin will bear watching on the night
of November %, when the sixth
annual competition gets under
way at Joe Turner's Arena.
Entered in the 112-pound novice
class once more and a bit more
serious than ever before in his
career, the happy-golucky "Diz
insists he has developed new
shock punch calculated to stamp
him as outstanding in his class
and will emerge from the impend
ing Golden Gloves a winner.
THE trouble before was I
played around too much" Mike
cDiz'D explained today. "All
the sports writer's and photog-
raphers are my pals, you know,
and I wanted to give EN- a
show.
Il was going along swell
couple of times when a photog-
rapher hollered for action. 1
stepped to find out what he
wanted, turned my head in
his direction and somebody
brought a punch up from no
where and knocked me out.
I'm stopping all that foolish
ness this year. I'm going in
there and win the novice title,
then I'm coming back as a
senior next time"
Win, lose or draw there is no
better Golden Gloves card than
Mike C'DiZD Eslin. The fans
like him and annually await his
appearance in the novice class.
But it's gonna be different this
year and Eslin's shock punch is
gonna knock 'em dead. He's in
fine fighting shape, verbally at
least, and ready to go.
After all, Mike rDiz") will tell
you, he's been boxing in the

20 RIVALS ON FLOOR
Of the % battles he has had in
his professional career, Yucatan
has had 20 Of his opponents on
the floor, twice putting Sarron on
his panties. Previous to this
bout, Armstrong was the only
fighter ever to drop the Birming-
ham veteran.
Fernando, likewise, has an i'm
presSive record, losing but four
decisions in seven years. Reilly is
pointing him for a crack at Ham
merin' Hank and the title, and is
highly confident his charge will
get past the Kid tonight. The
Skeeter demonstrated to District
fans several weeks ago that he
can punch, when he all but had
Joey Straiges out on his feet. Fer
rando let up, however, and just
COaSted in.
But tonight it will be a different
story. He's out to win, and win
the hard way, toby knock
out. He wants that crack at
Ambers, and then, if victorious,
will certainly have to be recog-
nized by Armstrong for a title
battle.

WEST CHESTER, PA.-Misfor-

trail of Sgt. ]. A. Foster of the
Thirteenth Black Watch, Forty
eighth Highlanders, Canadian army,
for many years but the tougher the
breaks the harder he fought back.
Stranded here with his wife and
two children while en- route from

story of his life, story of i'll luck,

tuition.

built IA homes and lost them all.

sisters were killed in a hurricane.

He keeps a small tin can fastened
on the side of his cart with 4

stranger drops a coin in the slot.
"One day." Foster said, "a
Scotchman named McTiddler came
along and looked us over. By
coincidence it happened that he
served with the Canadian forces in

pany of Highlanders that 1 did. We
had a long talk together and he gave

Five of his homes were destroyed
successfully by flood, hurricane and
fire. In 1926 his Moorhaven Fla0
home was devastated by a hurri-
