DAVIS EXPECTED
 ITO HAVE ACID HEST FOR CHAMP
Zivic 8 to 5 Over Bad Boy Tonight; Fans Want
 to See Davis Stopped
BY JACK CUDDY United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 New York, Nov. 15.-CUP)-The boxing world will learn tonight Fritzie zivic was fighting lover his head" when he wrested the world welterweight crown from Henry Armztrong on Oct. 4
 --Zivic, making his first ring ap- pearance since taking the title, faces dangerous test in a 10-round bout with Young Al Davis, Browns vile knockout artist, at Madison Square Garden.
 In this important non-title en- gagement, Champion Zivic will re- veal whether his upset victory over the great Armstrong was due to Armstrong's slipping, as some ex- perts suspect, or to zivic's own prowess.
 More than 15,000 fans are expect ed to contribute a gate of $50,000 for tonight's brawl, and most of those fans will be hoping that zivic comes through the test impressively that he tags Davis with his first knockout.
 Popular Now
 Fritzie won flock of friends by virtue of his magnificent showing against Armstrong. But Davis is extremely unpopular with the fans because of escapades outside the ring. Whenever the blord bad boy fights, the fans swarm to the arena, hoping to see him licked. They boo him until the girders shake. This unpopularity has proven profitable to Davis; just as it did in the old days for Leach Cross and the later Jack Sharkey.
 Price-Maker Eddie Borden an- nounced that Zivic is the 8-5 favor ite to win tonight, and that the betting is heavy. Most of the wager ing is on a knockout basis because both principals are hard punchers. The bout is not expected to last the 10 rounds. Borden quoted 3-1 against each scoring knockout.
 Zivic, 26 years old, is favored be- cause he Is considered the superior all-rcund fighter. He was seasoned in eight years of professional. cam paigning; he's an excellent boxer; he can punch with either hand, and he has speed and stamina.
 Davis, 21, has had but 43 profess sional bouts. He depends almost entirely upon his left hook, but that portside punch is the most dangerous in the business. He has kayoed 25 of his 3opponents. He lost only to Lou Ambers, who was then lightweight champion. It's an over-the-weight match, in which Davis will scale about half a pound over the 147-pound limit. Zivic will register about 146.

 If you're going into battle are you going to stop and measure ol weigh a guy before you decide he's just the type to get you to your objective in one piece? If our un- derstanding of the subject is correct that's exactly what it amounts to, and for our part, we'll have ham on rye.
 No Rules for Leaders
 1ckes says you can't believe the newspapers but from what we've read there seems to be some sort of defense program in the making MT. Roosevelt is lining up a lot oi All-America guys to run and block guys like Knudsen and Stettinius. We don't recall that he put the tape measure on them or made them weigh in before handing out suits.
 The grim fact is that Democ- racy is fighting the wind up battle of its existence. To win this fight we're going to need the best oi everything and that goes double for exceptional man power. We cer- tainly aren't go.ng to win 1t with gold braid and red tape.

CHAPTER XII.

The sinking of the Georgia was
one OF the worst marine disasters in
many years. How many lives were
lost no one could accurately say, but
that they were upward of 100
seemed more than likely. Various
members of the crew had different
opinions as to how many lifeboats
were smashed while being lowered; :;
some said 10 or IL. others as many
as 20. But since several hours
elapsed between the time of the
sinking and the time the Burmese
picked up It's survivors, there was
the possibility that a few of the
boats, widely scattered during the
storm, might have been found by a
tramp steamer having no wireless.
Among the passengers of the Bur-
nese who lined the rail late in the
afternoon and watched the beautiful
Bruce liner Virginia majestically
cut its way through the sea toward
them there were many sad faces,
faces of men and women whose
husbands and wives were still among
the missing. Others. jubilant, ex-
cited, happy with having found one
another after the nightmare of the
night before, could not keep their
delight from showing in their eyes
even though, out of respect for their
companions, they tried.
Considers Name "Fishy."
Algae stood apart from the crowd
at the rail, lost in troubled thought.
He hadn't seen Phyllis again since
