 The long-awaited match between Bob Montgomery and Beau Jack will be relayed from the ringside of the Madison Square Garden by Don Dunphy and Bill COrum to WATR and Yankee Network listeners, Fri day, November 19, at 10 p. m.
 Weirdest song titles are those be- slowed on so-called race songS". Dialers would be most apt to refer to them as blues.
 Danny Donovan, minstrel singer on Gay Nineties Revue" over CBS Monday nights, is a collector of odd music titles and he has come across some honeys.
 Just read them and, if you can match them, send yours on to Dan ny--hell be glad to get them.
 Included in the Donovan list and these are titles of actual re- corded numbers. .. . are "She Want to Sell My Monkey" "Woke Up Cold in Hand," "Whiskey Head Woman" Bottle It Up and Co.," Thirsty Mama Blues," Good Old Cabbage Greens" "She Loves Who She Please" and On the Killin' Floor"
 Still more are Let Me Play With Your Poodle" "River Hip Mama" 'Boogie Woogie Woman" He's a Jelly Roll Baker," Give Me a 30- 20 Blues," Gin Head Woman" Don't live Me, Mama" From 20 to A." You Drink Too Much Whis- kes," "Diggin' My Potatoes" and 'Blues Trip Me This Morning"
 If you don't believe there are tunes with those titles Donovan will tell you who recorded them. They range from such artists as Wash board Sam and his Washboard Band to Tampa Red, blues singer.
 Danny says the reason you don't hear many of those songs on the air is because the titles alone run afoul of network tabooS.

That's why one --aS just ban ned the recording by Bing Crosby and the Andrew Sisters of Pistol Packin' Mama" Seems that one line has them drinking beer in & cabaret and the network does not like that. During the five minutes preceding the Blue Networks Battle of the Sexes" broadcasts Wednesday nights, Jay c. Flippen, emcee, usually pulls 8 surprise gag to get the studio audience in laughing, applauding mood just before going on the air. The other night, for instance, he spied an usher showing some people to a seat. Jumping down from the stage, he tipped his hat to the usher, assisted him with his duties and sol- icitously escorted him back to- his station at the entrance.
 Running back to the microphOne, Flippen said, "You gotta be nice to everyone nowadays. Never know whoM be on your draft board"
