character because of the curious
twists to his career.
Their paths have been peculiarly
parallel in some respects, clImaXed
by stunning upsetS over TWO sup
posedly invincible fighters - Henry
Armstrong, one-time triple cham
pion, and Steve Mamakos of local
fame. Zivic's triumph over Arm
strong catapulted him into upper
case society in the fight world, but
in Washington at least, Furrs tech
nical knockout of Mamakos was OF
no less importance.
Critics said Zivic didn't have
chance against Armstrong, and when
they led the little windmill to his
corner, eyes puffed and closed. his
face chopped into a liver-colored
stew, they said it must have been
mistake. Not until Zivic repeated
the stunt, earning at least standing
room in pugilisms hall of fame, did
the dopesters realize it wasn't an ac-

Furr Surprised d. c. Fans.
Furr was a similarly lightly re-

bounced like a rubber ball before

Those fights were enough to estab-

the ash heap when zivic caught
him; perhaps the first right hand
Furr exploded on Mamakos' chin was
the inevitable one-too-many. but
fate decreed that they should be the
men in their particular roles on
those nights and the triumphs are
down on gilded pages in their ring
records.

Zivic, but Phillip has been yapping
that Fritzie is the one guy he can
beat and that this is the opportunity
he has long awaited. Zivic dropped
his 147-pound crown to one Red
Cochrane soon after ascending the
throne and suspicion is rife in some
quarters that he may have gone
over the hill. That is harsh and
hasty condemnation, for the Pitts
burgher has been around long
enough to prove himself anything
but flash in the pan.

Fritzie still owns the long, cutting

of thumbs as you ever felt in your
