Swedish Boxing Star
Off 10 Great Start
On u. 5. Invasion
Arne Anderson Enhances
Reputation as Hitter
With Two Koyoes
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Comes now
giant Swedish bricklayer, from
across the sea. to seek fame and
fortune in the ring as a heavyweight
boxer.
He's Arne Anderson, 81 years old,
weighing 205 pounds and standing
6 feet inches. He comes with the
reputation of being terrific
puncher, winning 10 of his II pro-
fessional battles by quick knock
outs. and his showing in his first two
engagements since he landed in the
United States just few weeks ago
has bolstered his European repu-
tation.
He f1oored his first opponent six
times to win on technical knock
out and stepped his second in two
rounds.
Anderson will get his first serious
test when he engages Billy Miske,
jr., son of the late heavyweight con-
tender, in a l0-round contest at St.
Paul, August 81.
Anderson wears No. IL shoe. has
hands the size of hams and Graves to
fight. He became interested in box
ing as a lad of 13 when Karl Oeren
of Chicago. once welterweight
and middleweight contender, re-
turned to his native Sweden to box
in 1881.
AS an amateur. Anderson en-
gagged in 56 contests in various
countries of Europe.
He was brought to the United
States by Ogren, who conducts a
training camp on his estate in the
Wisconsin North woods.
