Bunny" Davis, who was toe
tough for the modern prizefighter
business, returns for the first time
Friday night to the scene of his
characterization Square Garden.
Davis-who as Abraham Davidoff,
poverty -enmeshed Jewish youth
grew up in the tough Brownsville
section OF Brooklyn, home of mur-
der, inc.-climbs back into the
same ring that he left on the
tumultuous night of Nov. Is, 1910,
escorted by police. ushers and
handlers as the jeering spectators
rained papers, hats, cigar butts and
soft-drink cartons into the ring.
Davis, now "a. repeatedly has been
chastened and civilized by the
penalizing action of the New York
commission, which fined him 81

At least the late Commissioner Bill
Brown said it was for life" But
Bill Brown is dead new.

10 rounds.
When Davis last appeared in the
garden he was a principal in "one

Bv Isle SHOEMAKER

LOS ANGELES, Feb. Is CUP)-
SWarthy. little Manuel Ortiz, the
fighting-farmer from El Centro
who holds the bantamWeight title
so tightly that none of the rest of
the boys even get to look at it, may
be the next to become a triple
champion.
That dosen't sound very startling
in black type (We're out of the red
kind today but there's only been
one fighter who has ever done it
and that was the incompatible
Henry Armstrong who could do lots
of things others couldn't do.
Among those was the ability to frail
away at full speed for as many
rounds as the opposition could keep
its feet.
Manuel is right on the verge of
climbing into the featherWeight
class. Right now a couple of cur
local promoters are carrying on
secretly trying to sign up Manuel
to meet Phil Terranova, recognized
in many quarters as the feather
champ.
The reason we are so smart and
know these things comes from a
running interview grabbed from
Silent Tommy" Farmer, Ortiz
manager.
That silent nickname is no gag
with this Farmer character. You
ask 20 minutes of rapid fire ques-
tioning and he says yes-or no.
We sort of like him, though, be-
cause he's a man of action.
He hasn't always had Ortiz. Tom
my had another bantamweight. He
sent his fighter out against Ortiz
