On the day of the fight.
Matt looked like a million but
he was as mean as a bear
with a sore tooth. Just before
the fight, he said to Elise.

Matt knocked out Jimmy

the referee raised his hand.
he jumped out of the ring and
bounced into a taxi with his
robe still around his fighting
trunks. He found Elise at the

She was counting the
money she'd won. He begged
her to give him another chance
and when she weakened, he
dressed and he and she went
to Moe and persuaded him to
keep Matt under his manage

is going to be the next
middleweight champion.

thing Moe knew he had bet
$500 that Matt would win

'CHERCHEZ LA FEMME

WHEN Moe Levisohn signed
w up Matt Senno, his boy,
TO fight Jimmy Sapillo. con-
tender for the middleweight
title, he had just gotten wise
to Matt and he didn't care
whether he got a good licking
or not. AS a matter of fact,
he hoped he would.
Matt, Moe had learned
after h andling him six
months, was a chisler, and
in-and-outer and a dog. He
was a flashy boxer with a
punch. If he had any charac-
ter it would only be ques-
ton of time before he would
have been champion. But
Matt had no character and he
had never grown up in his
mind.
He was lazy and he hated
to train and he logged his
training. He would start out
on his five-mile morning jog
and he would come back from
IL in time painting and wet
with perspiration.
But the chances were very
good that he had ridden his
Jog in an automobile driven
by friend or by some dizzy
doll who thought she was in
love with him. Matt had
quite a number of these on his
string.

had everything and he threw
il away. He was a swell
fighter and he wouldn't
train. He had as pretty a
wife, Elise, as any man could
have. and he played around
with any tramp he could pick
up.
Moe wondered whether
Elise knew that Matt went
around with other women.
Sometimes, he thought she
did. She was a pretty smart
girl and not much got by her.
But sometimes he thought she
didn't.

Matt. It was three weeks to
the fight and she became his
shadow. She was on his heels
every minute. She borrowed
Noes car and she drove Matt
up to the park every MORN
ing. She. rode beside him
while he did his five miles.
He got away from her one
night and met the tramp who
was crazy about him at the
time. They were getting into
a cab when Elise stepped past
Matt and took a sock at the
other woman. The other
woman ran away and Elise
slapped MATHS face and took
him back to the Flanders with
her.

death. He couldn't dig up
$500 by fight time because he
already owed two grand on
account of dice games and
playing the horses.
Moe was a gambler. And
he knew that both Nanny and
Eddie would take it very hard
If he wasn't able to pay off
when Matt lost the fight
which he surely would.
He thought of going to
them and calling the bet off.
He could explain that he was
drunk and didn't know what
he was doing when he made
the bet.
But moments thought told
him he couldn't do that
either because it would prove
he was a welsher and that
would hurt his credit among
the guys he gambled with.
The whole thing made him
very blue. He thought he
was a goner. He went up
to Spellman's gym where Matt
was supposed to be training
and he looked spic and span
as he always did but he felt
lousy.
He felt that he didn't have
very much time left to live.
He knew that if Nanny and
Eddie got very angry, they
would slip a torpedo half a
yard and the torpedo would
take out his little cannon and
blast him, Moe, to death.
MATT LOOKED GOOD
So he stood at the ringside
and watched Matt go through
the motions. Matt was a very
good looking boy for a pug
He was blond and his broken
nose and his high cheekbones
and his thick lips all made
him look very virile.
Looking at them, you for
got to notice that his whole
face was as loose as ashes.
And Matt looked very good in
the ring, too. He boxed nice
and his footwork was nifty,
like a dancers.
Only Moe noticed the puffs
under his eyes and the little
tire around his belly. A COL
ored boy who was boxing with
him landed a nice hard one
in MATHS ribs and Matt
grunted and got sore. He shot
ever a left hook. short and
deadly. and the colored boy
dropped like a stuffed dummy.
Matt certainly could hit.
Realizing it didn't make
Moe feel any better because
he knew that Jimmy Sapillo
wouldn't be the colored boy.
He would be. an experienced
fighter and he would also
be in condition and Matt
wouldn't. And you have to be
in condition to throw a hard
punch after you've fought
three-four rounds.
Moe was conscious that
something was drumming in
his head. like the wheels when
you're riding on a train
He listened to the drum
ming and it finally came out.
"Churchy la famine. Churcy
la famine" 1t meant, Look
for the woman. Look for the
woman" and it didn't mean
anything. all of a sudden.
Moe thought of Elise, Mats
wife. And it gave him a little
hope.
FINDS HER AT HOTEL
He found Elise at the
Flanders partner { hotel
where she and Matt lived and
he laid his story on the line.
But Elise wasn't interested.

things like that. They never
seemed to get wise.
Maybe it was because Matt
was half afraid of her and
she knew it. She could get
Matt to do anything. One
word from her and he obeyed.
Moe couldn't figure that out.
Maybe ii was conscience that
made Matt do it, or maybe it
was because Elise was smarter
than he was, and he knew il.
Well, anyhow, Moe thought,
Matt would get a fine shellack-
ing and then he would throw
him out, after telling him off.
and that would square him for
the money he lost when Matt
lay down in his fight with
Maxy Weintraub.
If Moe hadn't got drunk.
Jimmy Sapillo would have
given Matt Senno a beating
that probably would have fin
ished him as fighter. Then
Moe would have thrown Matt
out of his management and
whatever happened to Matt
then would not have made
much difference to either Moe
or Elise Senno, Mats wife.
But Moe did get drunk.

1t was over at Tony Latzo's

ayers. He got drunk before
he knew it and they all
started kidding him about
Matt Senno being a bum.
If he was sober, Moe would
have taken the kidding for
what it was worth. He would
have admitted that he knew
Matt was a bum and he would
have claimed that he knew it
all the time. which would
have been a lie.
But drunk, he insisted that

HAD TAKEN DIVE


Matt was not above throw
ing a fight or taking a dive"
or going into the tank" as
the boys say in the fight
racket, and Moe had learned
on very good authority that
Matt had done exactly that in
his last fight. with WaXy
MaXy Weintraub two months
back.
He didn't mention it to
Matt but learning about it
made him feel bad. He didn't
like to think that a fighter of
his would throw a fight with
out his knowing it. 1t was
dishonest.
Moe believed that if a fight
was to be thrown or a fighter
was to take a dive the man.
ager and not the fighter was
the one to handle it.
This throwing of the fight
by Matt without consulting
him was what made Moe de-
eide that he was through
handling the fighter. But he
was sore at Matt besides be-
cause he had put a little bet
down on him to win from
Waxy, who really was a bum.
Making him lose money that
way, Moe considered. was
adding injury to insult.
That was why he signed
Matt up to fight Jimmy
S a pillo. He figured that
Jimmy would hand his fighter
a terrific shellacking because
Jimmy was really good.
True. if Matt would really
train, Jimmy might have his
troubles in beating him be-
cause Matt was very good.
himself. when he wanted to
be. But Moe knew he
wouldn't want to be. He'd
train like he always did and
he would enter the ring out
of condition. And Sapillo
would beat the devil out of
him. Then when he had done
it, Moe would say to Matt;
Look, you chiseling tramp,
you and mes through. 1 got
this fight so you'd get the
beating you got for double
crossing me with Maxy Vein

And that would be the end
of Matt.
