Bradley beam., 1944-03-25

Braddock was an old man, as fighters go, and when the Corn dumped him in the very first round, ringsiders thought he was through. But "Plain James" climbed back on his feet and in a couple of rounds he had stiffened the Corn.
 He was back in the Bowl a year later, winning the heavyweight title from Baer in one of the rings biggest upsets. Sports writers called him the Cinderella Man then and wrote lot of copy about his long climb from Pier Six to the Top. But they gradually forgot about Jim after Joe Louis knocked him out in Chicago and took his title away.
 Now Braddock is back on Pier Six. He's the boss over there, the unglamorous boss of an unglarn- .orous job, and because he knows

Dewey Johnson had eight points, James Singer, seven and Denton Johnson, six. Besides turning in a fine defensive game Johnny Gut kowski added four points to the total. Tiny Kowalski sank two field goals in seventy seconds near the end of the game. For the Pilgrims, Mahnen had ten points and Breslin had nine.
 The game itself was much closer than the final score indicates and at the end of the first quarter the score was tied up at twelve all. At the half, Bradley held a four-point lead, 20-16. The Bombers' defense, especially Jack Frey and Johnny

Back on the Docks

One of the least glamorous jobs in the war is being done quietly and efficiently by one of the least glamorous and most conscientious men in the United States Army.
 The job is bossing bunch of longshoremen at the Army's huge freight depot in Brooklyn. And the man is Capt. James J. Braddock- "Plain James" Braddock, former heavyweight champion of the world.
 Braddock is right at home out there on Pier Six. He was a long, shoreman there himself not so very long ago, when Joe Gould got him a match with Corn Griffin, an up- and-coming young heavyweight, on the preliminary card to the worlds championship bout between Primo Camera and Max Baer in Madison Square Garden Bowl.

 Nazi Claims

WASHINGTON, Feb. i1.-(APa The USS Ranger, in answer te the fictitious claims that she had been torpedoed and sunk, made a during raid in enemy dominated waters off the coast Of Norway, ta destroy more than 10000 tons of German shipping, the Navy an- nounced today.
 In telling about the raid, the Navy reported that this was t.ae first report of war activities of the carrier which cruised through out the Atlantic, providing con- voys carrying planes and pilots to the fighting fronts, and playing c role in the invasion of North Af- rica,
 Striking into Norway's waters last October. six months after Hitler announced the Ranger had been sunk, and decorated. the submarine commander, It. Otto von Bulow, who was credited with the feat, as having destroyed the carrier and all planes aboard.
 The Ranger destroyed at least six enemy vessels, including four merchantmen, tanker, and an oil barge, and damaged other ship ping, and shot down two Maxi planes.
 The carrier was with the British task force at the time, and despite the fact that operations fell with in the range ofGerman land-based bombers, lost only three of it's ovn planes, according to its command CT. Captain Gordon Rowe of Se- attle.
 The assault was made in two phases, 16,000 pounds of bombs were hurled at the enemy ship ping in the first, and 15,000 pounds in the second attack, but the Ran gers most crushing blow was de- livered against the Axis during the North African campaign, when as a flagship, with Read Admiral F.

dropping a small package on Jerry
