SPEARY UNABLE
TO MATCH PEp'S
PUNCHING POWER
Former A. A. U. Champ Is
Easy Victim of Hartford
World Champion
BY JACK zAIMAN

United Press Stan Correspondent
Hartford, Conn, Jan. 20.-(UP)--
Little Willie Pep Of Hartford, the
Dancing Dynamiter," held his 5Sth
consecutive ring victory today and
appeared fully ready for his ven
ture into the lightweight class on
Jan. 20 when he meets Allie StolS
in Madison Square Garden.
Pep, third featherweight cham
pion this city has had In is years
he Is recognized by the New York
commission but not by the National
Boxing Association-easily defeated
Bill Speary of Nanticoke, Pa, in q
10-round non-title bout last night
Weighing 129 La, Pep battered
Speary numerically to win every
round In an over-the-weight bout
before a crowd Of 5000. Speary,
whose left eye was cut and puffy
and his lips swollen after the bout,
never had a chance in the one
sided encounter. He weighed 100.
Pep started slowly but picked UP
speed midway in the bout and near
ly knocked out the Pennsylvania
fighter in the seventh and ninth
rounds. Speary didn't land more
than one or two damaging blows
during the flght-a left in the first
round and a swinging right to the
head In the third.
A Speary furry in the last round
was sQuelched by the classy Pep. q
tricky young specialist who drives
q machine-gun barrage Of left hooks
and then usually fades out Of range.
Puzzle
Pep was SO difficult to figure out
for Speary that he shook his head
ruefully In his corner between
rounds Pep pushed him around
without much damage in the first
five rounds and then began opening
up. He chased his opponent around
the ring in the sixth with a con-
tinuous barrage Of lefts, nearly kay
oed him in the seventh when Speary
hung on the ropes In defensive
knot, continued the assault in the
eighth and almost put him away
In the ninth.
Blood ran from Speary's broken
lips and he could hardly see when
1t WINS over. For Pep 1t looked like
Just another fight, and an easy one,
in his unbroken series Of victories
which has carried him in less than
year from a $40 preliminary fight
or to a titleholder. He has never
even been close to defeat.

The Standing

Well, after seventeen weeks Of
firing, Captain Ted Coughlin and
his Leathernecks still hold the fort
in our Patriotic Pin League. Come
what may in the next eight weeks,
we can't deny that the Marines have
been the best team in the league
for the greatest length Of time.
They jumped into sole possession Of
first place last September 18th and
haven't been knocked out yet and
that is good going In anybody's
league.
If Captain Coughlin and his mates
take q quick look around, however,
they will find that they really have
their job cut out for them because
those never say-die Rangers are
breathing holly on their necks just
two games off the pace. The Rang
ers really disposed Of their tough
est rival, the Bombadiers, in a most
impressive way last week, splitting
Joe Ariola and company for q de-
cisive three game loss. The two
teams were deadlocked for second
place and the Bomhers had defeated
the Rangers in 2 out Of 8 matches
previously.
The Commands pulled one Of the
seasons biggest upsets by knocking
off the Doughboys in two games
despite the absence Of their captain
Pete Rinaldi. Mile D'Angelo re-
turned to action and turned in her
best work Of the season with a 286
total. In fact, it's the second best
set in the league this season, topped
only by Margie Delameter'S 800 OF
only o week ago. Benny Stokes, still
in one Of the worst slumps he's ever
encountered just staggered over the
800 line. When Benny's down this
low those Doughboys are like a
Tiger without his teeth. The last
game was won by the Commands
by a single pin.
The Leathernecks won q couple
from Fred Carosella's Tigers. Inn
agine FIRST place team rolling 5S6
and winning. That's what our heroes
did In the first game as Tony Volt
kus stayed home for another helping
OF spaghetti.

New Sheet MefoI Glass Operating In New London

With. the vast number of young men and young women coming to work at the boat company, and the difficulty in making mechan- ics of them, and still keeping up production at it's peak, various free schools have opened up in New London for the benefit of those who wish to learn trade.
 One of these schools, which is for the benefit of those desiring to learn the sheet metal trade, is being operated at the Union Sheet Metal Works in New London, and is proving an ideal place for a person to learn this particular trade, for one has the entire use of the shop and all the tools. This school is in full charge of William Barlow, who is on duty six nights a week from to F, and has as his assistants William Haase, John Tenant, Harry Blair and George Whitney. All of these men are employed in the main yard sheet metal shop. William Steen, formerly of the tin shop, is gen. eral supervisor.
 Each student has a three weeks training course, which is equiva- lent to about six months if they were to go directly to work at the plant.
 A good deal of credit should be given to these men for the work which they are doing, and with such capable professors, there is no reason why the boat company should not soon have a fine array of sheet metal workers, who really "lxnow their stuff"
