breakfast tray in his sitting room
u at New York City's Gotham

dramatic critic, actor and radio COM
mentator, is conducting the mornings s
business and trying to be comfortable

too high, and crowded. besides, with
the telephone. the mornings mail. a

thing, he has to reach too far. And
he keeps reaching all the time - to

that will illustrate or prove a point

Scott Goes on LIQUID
DIET 10 Keep Weight
For Pastor Scrap
Enables Buddy to Toll
Properly for Contest;
Bob Due Tomorrow

Borrowing a page from the train
ing tricks of Jimmy DeForest, the
aStute muscle man who handled
Jack Dempsey when the former
champion was reaching the zenith
of his career, Trainer Harry Raskin
has put Buddy Scott on beer and
ale diet to maintain his weight for
his 10-round bout with Bob Pastor
Monday night at Griffith Stadium.
Il gotta keep him around 1875
pounds for this fight" Raskin was
saying today. It's ideal for our
purposes. This way Buddy can get
all the work he needs, and he's
working 10 and u rounds a day,
without hurting himself. Other
wise he'd fall off to about ITS
pounds and would be too weak and
light for guy like Pastor"
Beer and bananas are an old and
Weighty combination in the ring
racket. but not until DeForest en-
ployed their twin talents to fatten
up Dempsey for the Willard match
did they attract the full glare of
the spotlight. The story had gone
around that Jack was too small for
the giant and hurt the ticket sale
so badly Jack Kearns, Dempsey's
manager, decided a weighing cere-
mony was the only way to restore
public confidence in his man.
When the youthful mauler stepped
on the platform the arrow lurched
dizzily toward the 190-pound mark.
The ticket sale picked up and Demp-
sey was back at his normal figure
within two days.
Buddy don't like this stuff" said
Raskin as Scott downed half a
bottle without drawing deep
breath. The other day he asked
me If he couldn't drink an extra
quart Of milk or eat some other
fattening food instead. He simply
don't have any taste for hey,
wait minute One bottles enough"
Pastor is due in Washington to-
morrow to complete preparations
for the bout and will box with
Italo Colonello Saturday The lat
ter has signed for the Ground
semi -windup with young Jimmy
DeChard. which definitely marks
the beginning Of DeChard's pro
