Old Leg Injury Proves Big Help
In Ring to SpiegeI, Matched
With White Here Monday

It's a short story from then on.
Tommy started in round pre-
liminaries, won II straight victories
to win promotion to a main bout
status and he's been there ever
since. Rather than a handicap, his
injury has proved a help in many
ways in boxing.
For one thing" he said, I'D
probably be a middleWeight if it
wasn't for this game leg. You
see I'm built just like one from my
waist up and that gives me an ad-
vantage over other boys who are
legitimate lightweights from head
to foot. Another thing about this
leg, it gives me lot of support
and keeps my opponents from SHOW
ing me around in there That helps
when you're up against rough and
tumble fighter"
The Spiegel boys figure they've
travelled about 100000 miles since
Tommy left Miami wearing his newly
won spurs. Monday nights scrap
will be his first in this country
since last November and only the
war has prevented him from going
to Australia, where a promoter wants
him to meet old Tod Morgan among
others.
Spiegel was the first fighter to
whip Bob Montgomery, hard-hit-
ting Philadelphia contender, and
also holds two decisions over Sammy
Angott, N. B. A. title-holder.
