NEW YORK. July 40 ,NANAj.
III the class Will come 10 attsn.
ton I now will clear up the middle
weight boxing situation In o twin
king. 1t Is all very simple 10 the
trained mind.
What you want TO remember II
when Billy Soose beat Ken Overin,
who won the title from Ceferino
Garcia, who beat Fred Apostoli, who
beat Marcel Thil, who beat Gorilla
Jones
Or do I mean Lou BrouillArd7
Wait Just . minute till get these
notes straight.
All right, here we are. Thil does
not seem to have fought Gorilla
Jones at all. / wonder what hap
pened to the Gorilla? Send out a
police call for Gorilla Jones, dead
or alive. Miss ClafYey. while I study
this Vince Dundee angle.
Now 1t comes down TO a question
of who was the first man TO get to
Brouillard. Was it Thil or Vince
Dundee? The trained mind will
solve that problem II you will just
give me q moments time.
Better Skip BrouiIIord
For Time Being.
What's that, Miss Claffey? Tony
Zale is on the phone? He wants
to know where he stands? Tell him
to hold the wire. I think Tony is
some kind Of champion, but don't
get his hopes up till make sure.
Il wonder what the HI Gorilla
Jones is doing in here)
So Ben Jeby was knocked out by
Brouillard. That means we can
skip Jeby. Let's skip Brouillard,
too, just for the time being. What
did Brouillard ever do for us?
There seems to be no doubt that
Teddy Yarosz licked Dundee for
the title. If Dundee had 1t. He also
licked Jimmy Smith for the Penn
sylvania title, but that will get us
no place. We've got to be careful
Of those side roads.
Now Yarosz was beaten by Babe
Risko in January, 1885. But that's
non-title, over the weight Here's
what we want. Risko beat Yaross
for the title in September.
McAvoy knocked out Risko in
the first round. Signals of That
was non-title, too.
Krieser Will Be Sore
II Overworked.
All right, think we've got it
now. The trained mind will have
us out of this mess in a jiffy. Risko
was beaten by Freddie Steele.
That's non-title. Lessee. lessee. All,
yes, they quit kidding four months
later and Steele won the title.
Steele was beaten by mysterious
AL Hostak, who was beaten by Tony
Zale. Miss Claffey, If Zale is still
on that phone you can tell him
he is doing all right. Hold on a
minute though. Where does that
leave Billy Soose? Tell zale to
hold that wire.
SOOSe beat Ovefnn, VINO beat
Garcia. who beat fearless Fred
Apostoli, who beat Thil Where
did Thil get that title of his? From
Tiger Flowers?
Besides, ApostoI beat Steele and
We are overlooking Solly Krieger
entirely. Solly will be sore as the
deuce.
In spot like this, I always ask
myself, what would Thomas Jeffer-
son have done? I think Jefferson
probably would have started all over.
again. listing the boys in alphabet
ical orders, as follows:
Apostoli. Brouillard. Dundee,
Garcia. Hostak, Jerby, Jones,
| Krieger, Overlin, Risko, Soose,
Steele, Thil. Yarosz. Zale. That
gives us a pretty good spread, from
A to z. always remembering that
Dundee's real name was Lazzarro
and Risko was born Harry Pylkow-
ski.
