PIummer Rated Keen
Rival for Sharkev

A new threat to Babe Sharkey's
throne in the heavyweight wrestling
kingdom has come out of the fight
ing in Tunisia and Sicily in the
person of Lou Plummer, who takes
on the Big Babe in the top bout on
the card at Turner's Arena We'd
nesday night.
Plummer. in the first bout on his
comeback trail here after an honor
able discharge from the Coast
Guard rubbed out tough Angelo
Savoldi in 16 minutes last week.
and the enthusiasts are saying he
is the only man who looks to be
match for Sharkey.
Plummer has been around longer
than Babe, knows few more of the
tricks, and he will be close enough
to Sharkey in weight-25O pounds
SO he won't take the beating in
rough going that Sharkey's recent
lighter opponents have suffered.
Lou jumped into the limelight
on the strength of a one-bout ex-
htbition of his old form. The fans
remember Plummer's crowd-pleas-
ing exhibitions before he went to
the wars.
Also featured on Uncle Joe's We'd

an Arena newcomer, George Leni-
han of Boston, and the perennial
w street favorite, Maurice La
