CLEVELAND, Jan. 19-Lloyd
Marshall believes there's no place
like home-especially when you're

The Californian returned to his
native Cleveland last night to pound
out an easy 10-round decision over
Nate Bolden of Chicago in what
Matchmaker Larry Atkins billed as
a duration light-heavyweight title
bout.
The win was Lloyd's fourth in five
Cleveland appearances and it earned
him a March engagement with Bolt
in Jake La Motta, the roughhousing
Bronx middleweight. In his other
loca tussles, the former Golden
Glover notched decisions over Anton
Christoforidis and Curtis Sheppard,
knocked out EzZard Charles and
belted Heavyweight Jimmy Bivins to
the floor before taking the count
himself in the 18th
Rated by Ring Magazine as the
No. l active lightheavy, Marshall
spent most of his time chasing Boil
den around the Arena ring.
He caught up with the back-ped-
aling Chicagoan enough times to
unleash slashing assortment of
rights. One Of these sent Bolden to
the canvas for the count of nine in
the third round after Nate tempo
rarily ceased his bicycling to stagger
Marshall with left hook.
Bolden was the aggressor in only
one heat-the fourth. He landed two
hard rights that rocked Marshall on
his heels and continued with an
assault that forced Lloyd to cover
up.
Marshall returned to the offensive
in the fifth and Bolden actually ran
to another corner after Lloyd ma
neuvered him against the ropes and
failed him with lefts and rights.
Marshall weighed 1884,, ~
pounds less than Bolden The 5,9lO

Matchmaker Atkins announced
the signing Of Lightweight Cham
Ipion Beau Jack for a February Is
engagement in Cleveland Public

and bags. All the work was being
done around two field telephones
lying in their leather cases on the
ground ten feet from the tent.
The rocky hillside was covered
with little bushes and small fiji
trees. The sun was out and the day
was rather warm. There were nc
papers or desks or anything-just
three or four officers standing and
sitting on a hillside near two tele-
phones on the ground. One officer
had a large map case. That's al
the paraphernalia there was fol-

Our troops were on top Of

valley beyond, and on a parallel
ridge a mile farther on. We
could walk up and look over, but
we couldn't see anything. Both
sides were well hidden in the
brush.

artillery would fire, and then half
minute or so later We could hear

falling only 800 yards from us.
Once in a while we could hear

A young second lieutenant stood
near the phones and did all the
talking over them. In fact he ap-
peared to be making all the deci-
sions. And he impressed me as
knowing his business remarkably
well.
Lieutenant Gives Orders
The highest officer around was a
lieutenant colonel, but he seemed
to leave everything to the lieuten-
ant. and at every signal of ap-
preaching planes he ran TO a nearby
foxhole and stayed there till the
planes had gone.
The phone rang every few min
utes. Other command posts would
be calling IN to report or to ask
instructions. Now and then the chief
post, some Is miles back, would call
and ask how things were going.
Officers and enlisted men kept
appearing from down below or over
