Charley Petro, the Southeast

shadow of Brother Danny, the
featherweight. for the last year is
moving out on his own now and
convincing Washington ring fans he
has goodly share Of boxing skill to
go with the chilling rights and lefts
he has displayed from time to time
while knocking out seven Of the Is
men he's met professionally. Some
of this boxing ability is newly &C
quired and he hasn't had much
chance to show it.
Many of his opponents haven't
been too skillful themselves and a
bit OF slugging and rough stun
usually has sufdced.
Messes Up Galiano's Face.
Petro has good left jab, how
ever, which he proved for the edifl-
cation of 932 local ring fans at Tur-
ners Arena last night while up
setting Pete Galiano of Baltimore
over the 10-round route. That jab
(and a little butting, too) made a
mess of Galiano's face and at the
end of 10 zeunds the pre-fight
favorite was spouting claret from
mouth, nose and left eye For most
of the fight it appeared that Petro,
and not Galiano, was the more ex-
perienced.
For three rounds Galiano's sting
ing left had Petro's head swapping
back, but in the fourth round Petro
took all Galiano's steam away and
managed to step away from that
left the rest of the way. Only sign
Of Petro's inexperience was his in
ability to put Galiano away on the
numerous occasions when the Balti-
more boy was ripe for a punch that
would have ended the tight.

I'VE will win the European war in

The cool, but dynamic Texas born
general, made the unqualified pre-
diction as he faced American and

Gen. Eisenhower said he resisted
an impulse to qualify his prediction
of victory in 1914 and modestly
added that only time would tell
whether he is the right man for the
lob ahead of him. He indicated he
would leave soon to take over his
new duties and said his task would
be to create on Allied supreme staff

Eisenhower said MY own per-

be to do what we have done here,
that is, weld the directing team to-

that sense of partnership which VIII
