For one thing. the young lads having taken things easy all sum- mer can easily be hurt, and f the weather gets real warm. it must be agony to work out with heavy loot bah gear.

Nntte0 fress staH Nobtespohaeus
 New York, Aug. 30--(UPD--Out of the land of shattered heavyweight dreams comes brown skinned Lor- enzo Pack with his right eye gone and with the muscles of his right arm severed by the knife of dis tant relative. to write sentimental ballads for America.
 The Brill building, at 49th St. and Broadway. which happened t0 be the clubhouse for Jacobs Beach, al- SO contains the offices of . flock of music-publishing companies.
 Hence it was that the boxing writer, meeting Lorenzo Pack in the elevator. asked, 'are you starting a come-back. too?" the big Negro re- piled "Yes,-But on the wings Of song. I'm a song-writer now"
 Lorenzo Pack of Detroit. who ia the middle i930's gave promise of becoming heavyweight champion of the world, has risen from the can vas as boxer and started along the glory road as a composer of heart songs.
 Lorenzo, teamed with his Pal Mii- ton Nelson, has written Miss Sally Sue" which the Andrews Sisters soon will record. Pack and Nelson got the idea for this piece while attending a Madison Square Gar den fight one night. They saw an attractive brown-skinned gal in the crowd. Pack said, That gal is pipin' hot" Nelson flung back, "Whos pipin' hot?" and Pack reached into the clouds of cigar smoke and re- piled. Miss Sally Sue"
 That's the serewball fashion in which most popular songs are born, according to Pack, who recently re- turned from Hollywood where he has been ghost writing" Now he wants personal recognition for the songs he turns out.
 Pack got personal recognition as fighter. He was recognized as a prominent contender for the heavy weight championship He battled through 83 professional bouts. he says. featured by TT knockout vic- tories. In l935, for example, he reg istered nine straight kayOes and was mentioned in the same breath with Joe Louis.
 But on Sept. 28. 1887, he fought Tony GalentO at Philadelphia. Pack suffered an eye injury that became increasingly troublesome until he lost the sight of the eye in an op- eratien. He retired in i942, at the age of 25,
 Fortunately he had concentrated on music during his high school days in Detroit, where he played both the violin and the drums-and always was composing songs in his head He had saved some of his ring earnings, He teamed with Henry Armstrong, former triple champion, to write and sell My Moment Su- preme." Then he teamed with Mil- ton Nelson to turn out Give Me A Kiss, Miranda"
 The 200-p0und Negro concluded:
 There is no explanation for song writing. But people who should know say have a flatF for 1t, And I'd rather be a great song writer than heavyweight champion. At least I've got to say that now"
