CAMP VAN DORM, Miss. -
Pvt. Chester Antosiewicz, who
can't write a word of Polish,
gets off at least one letter every
two weeks to his Poland born

To complicate matters, Bigos
can't read the handwriting of
Antosiewicz, and the latter must

And all for free, too. There's a
pretty good boxing show at Turner's
Arena each afternoon, starting
around 2 O'Clock, as various boxers
scheduled for next weeks show and
their sparring partners go through
their training PAGES. It's sort of
minor edition of Stillman's in New
York, except that no admission fee
is charged here.
Those fans who turn up usually
are treated to several sessions of
good boxing, mixed with a bit of
comedy at times. Yesterday after
noon, for example. the program
started with eight Negro boxers of
various sizes. ranging from the 240-
pound Big Boy Brown down to some
unidentified skinny f1yweight who
couldn't have weighed much over 100
pounds, shadow boxing at the same
time. 1t resembled an animated
minstrel show and the wonder Of
1t is that some one wasn't hurt.
Among those also present was
George Parks, who has been
matched against George Brothers
for 10-round supporting number
next Monday night at Griffith Sta
dunn; Teddy Wint, a pretty good
heavyweight of some time back who
expects to enter the service shortly,
and Jackie Wilson of Pittsburgh,
former NBA world featherweight
champion. Jackie is hanging
around town because his manager,
Jack (the Boy BandiD Laken, is
here to handle Brown next Monday
and also because If he stayed in
Pittsburgh all his friends would
want to help him spend his money,
