MISSING
Boy, II, Vanishes on
Wau to School

Police were asked to broadcast
a lookout for James F. Woodman,
IA, of the 1900 block of Fairlawn
Ave. S. E., who dropped from
sight yesterday after apparently
starting for his classes at the Ana
costa High School.
His father, Francis Woodman,
supervisor of labor at the Navy
Yard, told police the boy had
about $35 in his pocket at the
time he left.
A telegram, bearing James

BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

A match between George Abrams,
who battered Lou Brouillard into
submission last night, and Steve
Mamakos, the athletic Athenian, to-
day seemed as probable as a Chinese
blockade of the Three Sister Islands
as Promoter Joe Turner shufiled the
pugilistic deck in search of a win
ming card or two.
Although he forced the fighting,
exhibited the better ring general
ship and showered Brouillard with
leather from bell to bell, George
was as unimpressive as a British
peace plea. Brouillard was worse
Lou had no punch, no color and
seemed utterly lacking in ambition.
He was in there strictly on his rec
ord.
Abrams was crestfallen after the
duel. The fans gave him the old
Bronx mating call after every round
from the first on and started inch
ing toward the exits as early as the
seventh round, and deep down in
side it hurt. 1t hurt more than
any of Brouillard's lame wing slaps
at George.

Jimmy Jones flattened him at the

His handlers, Chris Dundee and
George Fishel, were more than

ever. Dundee was downright elated
that shreWd portsider of Brouil-
lard's experience failed to disturb
Georges calm and poise, and Fishel
was pleased to see the lad 60 10

breath.

ever summoned.
Completely surrounded by pre-
dictions that Louis will half-kill him
inside two rounds, Tony enters his

his disdain of the champion. Some

Galento at close range. He shows

ready for fight.

the phrase was his own.

punch the stufing out of three

and he worked up terrific sweat
doing it.
Tony featured the wallop that is
his one desperate hope of smack

as quickly as Tony's refexes per-
