CALL PHYSICIAN TO BEDSIDE
AS TONY SUFFERS
By Ed. V. Mason

Orange, N. J., July 1.-Two Ton
Tony Galento has just begun to feel
the after effects of good Joe Louis
beating. Thursday night he summoned
his wife to his bedside where he is re-
cuperating from Joe's fistic battering
and asked her to call in Dr. Max E.
Stern of Newark to give him another
physical examination because, he said,
81 have terrible headache and some
funny pains in my stomach"
Galento is nursing q stitches in his
face and is also anxious about five
wobbly teeth on the left side of his
jaw that DR.. Stern says will need
wiring as soon as an ugly wound in
his mouth heals. Tony has been for
bidden to take solid foods for this rea-
son.
Louis's gloves cut with such telling
effect that it required nine stitches to
close cut from the right side of
Tony's nose to the outer angle of his
lip; eight in the lower lip and six above
his right eye. The left side of his
face is numb and badly bruised. DIR.
Stern said the cut over Tonys left ear
near the hairline didn't need any stitch
ing.
The physician declared that the rea-
son Galento didn't wilt in similar
fashion to Max Schmeling under the
terrific body punches of Joe Louis was
that Tony's fleshy waistline somewhat
protected his nerve centers and served
as bumper to Louis's pounding.
