BEAU JACK SETS
ACARDEN RECORD
BY FRITZ HOWELL

NEW YORK, March q -P)-
With Beau Jack, New York's ex-
king of the lightweights and
Georgeia's ex-bootblack, it isn't a
case of reign or shine.
The ever-busy Beau has held the
fistic title twice, and has lost it
twice, but he's definitely in the
dough and need never whistle those
shoeshine boy blues again.
Friday night Beau battles Juan
Zurita, Mexican-born MIA light
weight ruler, in a Madison Square
Garden 10-round non-title scrap. 1t
marks the first time that a fight
er ever has appeared in three
main events in the garden in a
single month, a record made pos
sible by the wars prior claims to
fistic talent.
On March 8 Beau lost his New
York version of the lightweight
laurels to Bob Montgomery, before
a crowd of 1906 which paid SILL
954. Two weeks later he gave vel
terweight Al Dummy Davis OF
Brooklyn a bad beating, before a
1882, 1923 crowd of 1885.
Fridays affair is expected to at

100000 boosting the Beau far over
the quarter-billion mark as a
march money magnet. The ex-boot.
black, father of three and who on.
ly recently learned to read and
write, figures to take down about
$4,000 as his share for the 30
days.
The Zurita fight also will hike
Beau Jacks Garden gate for 13
main events above the million-dol-
lar figure, his first dozen fights in
the big Eighth Avenue arena at
tracting $947,477, an average Of
$7S,956.
No fighter, except heavyweight
champion Joe Louis, has ever
drawn such gates in the garden.
Beau's the only lightweight ever to
be a principal in three 100000
shows there.
Only four years ago Beau Jack
then known as Sidney Walker, was
shining shoes in an Augusta, Ca,
golf club. He may be shining shoes
again soon - his own - DESPITE
all that dough, for he's due fol
army induction before long.
