OILY BEAUHOLD is limping
- around the marine base at
San Diego, a casualty of the
war in the South Pacific.
He was a sizzling little ring
fighter out Of New Jersey
couple Of years ago. and New
York ring worms will remember
seeing him in Madison Square
Garden on several occasions.
He was a great drawing card
for a spell especially among his
fellow citizens of New Jersey
who used to come swarning up
out OF the tubes any time he
went 10 the post.
He was a lightweight and
fought a number of the good
men Of his day, such as Henry
Armstrong. and Billy Marquart
and Tippy Larkin, the latter his
big rival in Jersey.
OILY fought Armstrong right
- after Henry won the feather
weight title from Petey Sarron
and lasted five rounds.
1t was only a few months
later that Armstrong won the
welterweight title from Barney
Ross who came home from the
South Pacific with Billy Beau
hold.
Perhaps they had the oppor-
tunity on the trip Of comparing
notes on their conqueror.
Barney told me that Billy
made a great record as a fight
ing marine in Guadalcanal.

nearly 80 days, he was wounded
