MAURIELLO AND
 SAV!OLD, HARD .HITTERS, PAIRED
Heavies to Clash Friday at New YOrk's
 M. s. C.

New York, Oct. 27-Heayyweighta who can punch have always beer the darlings of fight promoters. Be. cause heavyweigfts who can punch have always been the best of all box-of1ce attractions.
 On Friday night at Madison Square Garden two of the hardest hitting heavyweightS in action today will face each other in a matct scheduled for ten rounds. They are Tami Mauriello, of the Bronx, and Lee Savold, the St. Paul Scandinav. ian who now makes his home ip Paterson, N. J.
 Out in the midwest they cal Savold 'Lethal Lee" because of hi. punching prowess. Most of his vic- tories in the ring have been kayoes In 1889 he registered ten knockouts in sixteen bouts, in 194O he halted eight out of eleven foes, last year ne finished of nine out of fourteen. In nine contests thus far this year he has stopped six foes.
 K. O. Kid
 But Maiuriello's record as knockout puncher is even more i'm. pressive. During his first year among the pros 1889, he had ten bouts and scored six kayoes. In 1e40 he bowled over eight out of fourteen oppon- ents, last year he boosted his kaye percentage greatly by belting out nine out of twelve. He has engaged in eleven matches so far in l942 and has chalked up eight knockout tri- umphs.
 It is because of the hitting abil. ttieS of Mauriello and Savold that most local boxing men expect Fri- days contest to end short of the tenth round. Each will be striving for a kayo, too, because victory brings the winne ra lucrative shot against Jimmy Bivins of Cleveland at the Garden on Nov. 27.
 The fact that the Garden main event principals are kayo punchers, plus the fact that Fridays contest is the first ring event in the Garden in close to month, have resulted in a heavy advance sale of tickets. Mauriello and Savold wind up theiI training today, Mauriello at Still mans gymnasium, Savold at Green. wood Lake, N. J.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Oct. 27-CUP)-Bob Pastor, the greatest "spoiler'' among modern heavyweightS, craves a crack at the Japs. Accordingly, rapid Robert has retired from the ring. He will rest up for few weeks at home in Saratoga Springs, N. r., and then start the new year of right by enlisting in one of the armed services.
 Bob, who will be 29 in January, hasn't picked the service yet. But we will offer advance congratula- tions to the command that gets him. He should make great war rior. He's utterly fearless, willing to tackle anybody at any time and game as bulldog when the going gets tough.
 Pastor, most successful of all the ex-college heavyweights, got up from the canvas to win or make good showings more often than any prominent fighter we have known. Yet he was tagged with the un- complimentary sobriquet Bicycle Bob," because of his back pedalling performance in his first bout with Joe Louis-before the Brown Bomb CT became champion.
 Under Orders
 In that first Louis bout at Mad ison Square Garden, January 27, 1887, Pastor was operating under strict orders to make Louis look like a bum." Jimmy Johnston, ST. (now Pastors manager) was pro- moter at the Garden then, and Pastor was piloted-ostensibly at least-by Jimmy Johnston, Jr. Mike Jacobs was rising to power on Joe Louis brawny shoulders. Mike, then operating at the old Hippodrome, was threatening to muscle in at the Garden and oust Johnston, feat he accomplished before the year '37 was out. But on that January night. the idea was to make Louis look bad, thus pos sibly putting a spoke in Jacobs wheel.
 Pastor did a perfect job, although Louis won the 10-round decision. The former New York university fullback treateo bewildered Louis to such an exhibition of footwork and body feinting that the Detroit Negro was boring holes in the air. far from his elusive target, and lurching awkwardly about the ring like "a ploughman with two left feet. The crowd booed Louis iustily-not Pastor.
 But in the second brawl with Louis, at Detroit, September 20, 1889, Pastor tried desperately to wrest the title from jolting Joe, who had taken the crown from Jim Braddock. That night Bicycle Bob"-a comparatively small heavy weight with curly brown hair and pinkish skin-proved that he had a heart bigger than his boxing gloves. He rose from the canvas four times in the first round, blood smeared and groggy. He got up twice more in the second session and kept on tossing leather. Re cuperating amazingly from the stunning blows, Pastor picked up momentum until he was carrying the fight to Louis in the ninth. Bob might have knocked him out

 Cadet Bill Menke's story further illustrates that there is no monkey business, and I like it because this strapping HooSier accomplished something in a military way in no time at all.
 He is striking example of how rapidly the American kid catches on.

The basketball season isn't so far away, yet Menke graduates from the Navy's Iowa Pre-Flight School without getting 8 chance to display HIS Sklu dS d CdSC1s So0CNo 4C- main at the school for only 12 weeks.
 Menke did not have to play bas- ketball to build himself an enviable reputation at the base, however, for he turned out to be all soldier.

 In intra-mural squadrons, as in varsity squads, the rapid turnover of cadets is particularly damaging to the maintenance of effective playing combinations. cAnAnAsra esszA t14AaaatNEa haHa Ana-

ARM STRONG BEATS
 zIVIC EASILY

San Francisco, Oct. 27- (UP) = Hammering Henry Armstrong was far along the comeback trail today and delighted because of his ven geance victory" over Fritzie Zivic who had taken away Hanks welter- weight crown and later knocked him out.
 Armstrong gave Pittsburgh Fritzie thorough beating last night be- fore 12000 fans in Civic auditorium, wining the 10-round decision by wide margin. The United Press SCOT ed seven rounds for Henry, one for Zivic and two even.
 Armstrong, the perpetual motion man who once held three titles, registered his 11th victory in 12 comeback bouts by barraging the Pittsburgs veteran with hooks to head and body from going to gong. He had Fritzie groggy twice.

Shores Buffalo Bisons onArena Ice Wednesday

New Haven, Oct. 27.--Headed by the one and only Eddie Shore, the Buffalo Bisons-loaded with fight move into the New Haven Arena on Wednesday night to battle the New Haven Eagles in the first home game of the 1942-43 American Hockey league campaign. The game will start promptly at 8 p. In., and indications are that a large crowd will be on hand.
 The Bisor1s are a combination of last years Springfield and Buffalo clubs, Shore having moved to Buff falo when the government took over his Springfield rink.
 New Haven, coached by Eddie Powers this season, will show many new faces. Reports out of the train- site at Hershey were that Sammy McNIanus, former Pittsburgh and Providence star had been added to the Eagle lineup.
 Goal Tender
 Lloyd Storie, former amateur goalie from Windsor, Ont, will be in the nets for New Haven. Defense berths will be held down by Vic Myles, Wifi Hoch, Gordon Reid, Frank Bowman and Orville Wal driff.
 One line will be made up of Joe Shack, Carl Smith and Harold Ta- bor. Another forward wall will show Joe Levandow5ki, Nakina Smith and Sammy McManu. The third line will take to the ice composed of Gus Mancusco, Max Labavitch and Pete Helly.
 The Eagles will make their sec- ond home appearance of the season against the Cleveland Barons at the Arena on Sunday.

if his punches had more authority. But in the 11th Louis caught up with him again and applied the kayo.
 Real "SpOiler"
 Pastor could come of the floor alright. We'll never forget the Mo- vember night in '35 when he rose from the canvas five times in the first round and came on to earn a draw with Eddie SimmS. Or the May night in '37 when White Hope'' Bob Nestell connected in the first round with a right uppercut that lifted Pastor and dumped him on the back of his neck. The New Yorker got up and gave NesteH 8 terrific beating, spelling" his ca- reer. There were plenty of other nights like that and other spoilings as Pastor battled busily through 70 professional bouts, losing only seven. He became the "spoiler" of his division because he knocked of so many promising youngsters Nestell, Roscoe Toles, Tiger War rington, Turkey Thompson, Booker Beckwith and lem Franklin.
 In Bob's last bout, October 20, at Cleveland, he lost a split 10-round decisoin to Jimmy Bivins, hard hitting Cleveland Negro whom he had beaten earlier this year. The retirement will prevent a rubber match, so Bivins will come into New York for fight at the Garden November 27 against the winner of Fridays Garden battle between Lee Savold and Tami Mauriello.
 Pastor could continue boxing. He has a wife and two children and might not be drafted. But Bicycle Bob'' fels that he's needed in more serious combat, SO he'll exchange his gloves for more potent weapons.
