Experience Great Teacher,
Apostoli Discovers

Apostoli has slow. plodding in
telligence, but the intelligence is
there, along with the strength and
appetite for fighting. He learns as
ne goes along and the chances are
that he learned plenty about Will
Conn in 10 rounds of bull-like
rushes which made the kid look
good and Apostoli look foolish.
Their return bout this Friday is
booked for Is rounds. At the end
of the 10th and final round of the
last one, Conn was tired and sore
and in full retreat-though he still
had the coolness and crowd sense to
throw a furry of gloves in Apostoli's
face during the last half minute,
knowing well that it was the last
half minute.
The 15-round distance will favor
fearless Frederick, though I have a
bunch that 10 might be enough for
him, this second time, to complete
his revenge. Conn will outweigh him
H Z or 8 pounds, but Apostoli is
stronger man. His weight is in one
compact bundle. low-slung. Conn's
is spread around high, fat body,
and last month he sWayed in the
path of Apostoli's churning attack.
If you heard that Conn looked
good in that bout and made the
crowd yell for him, you heard cor
rectly He was sharp and smart,
and deadly cool for youngster. He
had f1icking left hand that made
its home in Apostoli's face. He beat
Frederick to the lead and befuddled
MIN.
But Apostoli fought the sort of
fight that framed Billy in gold and
made him look a general. He rushed
him all the time. When you rush
counter fighter with quick eye and
a good left hand, you are handing
him the keys to the city, the deci-
sion, and the heart of the crowd.
