 A night or two ago, some 10000 people saw the GOLDEN TERROR lose his worlds" wrestling cham pionship to Sandor Szabor of Hun- gary In the Boston Garden, the Terror, 35 year old Leo Gobolowsky being handicapped by a couple ot punches from Tony Galento, the REFEREE, who has finally "laic of" calling Champion Joe Louis 8 BUM, because Joe is in the Army as a sergeant, while Tony is toe fat to be anywhere except in a wrestling ring picking up coffee money Eddie Satula, Brooklyn boy, postcards from Beverly Hills California where it's hot, but a fine place for a vacation. He visited Eddie Hogan, former local heavy weight boxer, who sends his re- gardS to all the lads back east.

 Beau Jack, Georgia Negro
 Shoe-shine boy, who rose from
 rags to riches in record time, be-
 cause he is blessed with a strong
 body and fighting heart; has
 already been made 3 to l
 favorite over the new NBA light
 weight champion, 27 year old
 Juan Zurita of Mexico, who be-
 gan professional boxing in 1883, according to the records, which
 would make him 16 years of age
 at that time. Having easily out
 pointed the hard to beat Sammy
 Angott, zurita's title will not be
 at stake tonight, but his ring
 reputation will. Having a hunch
 that he is nearer 30 years of age,
 than 27, and having been stopped
 by Henry Armstrong as far back
 as eight years ago, it Is difficult
 to imagine him going very far
 against the strongest, TOUGH
 EST fighter in the ring today, POUND FOR POUND. How long
 Zurita stays on his feet, depends
 upon how tough he is and what
 he can take" in the way of
 punishment, in my opinion.
 In other words, Beau Jack
 should stop him, maybe in the
 very first round or two; maybe in
 the sixth or ninth. At any rate,
 let's make 1t by a KNOCKOUT
 in the third or fourth round, as
 long as it's open season on
 GUESSING.
