Mccoy, who is Pvt. Adam PianR

dictated their willingness TO appear
here. Because of their service
backgrounds the fight would be q
natural.
Idea OF the show originated with
Hill +. Best. local representative
of the Army and Navy Journal.
He suggested the show to Londes
inasmuch as the promoter was for.
merly a navy man himself. Londes,
only 13 years old. served as an
Iordinary seaman on British troop
transport when the first World
WAR broke out.
Londes Immediately got in touch
with the Michigan Citizens Com
mittee for Navy Relief. which IL
also in accord with arrangements.
Lee Anderson. vice chairman OF
the committee. wrote letters to
the commanding officers at San
Diego and Camp Upton requesting
that the fighters be released for
the show.

Replies have not yet been re-
ceived, but Londes Is going ahead
with arrangements anyhow. IL
the match could not be made. he
hopes TO stage a show with an.

Mccoy, who fought to draw
with former champion Fritzie
Civic in his last appearance be-
fore enlisting in the army, is one
of the foremost contenders in the
division. Cochrane won his title
from Civic just prior to enlisting
in the navy.

No baseball player can put In
16 seasons without running into
odd characters. Pat Collins, for
mer catcher for the st. Louis
Browns. was one. Collins, stocky,
bull-necked, was apt to make a
one-game winning streak the cause
for celebration.
Collins walked into the Ansonia
Hotel in New York one night.
Strapped around his neck was a
hurdy-gurdy. A monkey perched
on his shoulder. The monkey re-
peatedly tipped his tiny red hat to
everybody.
When no money came in, the
monkey turned ill-humored and
mean. Collins was bitten and
scratched plentifully.

cause Of depriving thousands of

Those waters are going to
