said.
Over the span Of the last &c
years when he has owned a piece
of every near-great fighter in the
business, Johnston has come UP
with scores of hopes" of various
hues. Many Of them have faded
ingloriously after a brief flare but
many others have pocketed plenty
of change for themselves and for
Johnston, always a fast man to
get to the bank with roll OF
greenbacks.
In that fantastic era of the late
30's when the world heavyweight
championship changed hands with
every match, Johnston propelled
four men to the title in as many
years-Jack Sharkey, Primo Car
nera, Max Baer and Jimmy Brad
dock.
But since 1887 when Mike Jacobs
moved into his promoting spot at
Madison Square Garden, the Boy
Bandit has languished pretty much
in eclipse despite occasional erup-
tons of the old time Johnston
ballyhoo and barney.
His latest sad experiment was
with one of those unpredictable
Argentines, Fernando (the mighty

a world beater when he arrived
on these shores and among other
feats he gained a draw with Fred

contender.

began Waiting around the ring.
Naturally he got his head knocked
off. It was love. And finally he
drifted back home to his senoritas
and I guess he's dancing them
around there yet"
But the Boy Bandit is as quick
to line up a new hero as he is
to forget the ones who washed out
and if the law of averages works
out for him, as it always has, he
may still wangle his way back to
the big time and the big money.

is being considered for Chairman

Is philanthropic in character, Its
chairman is not much subject to

In peace, 1t is not too onerous.
For Mr.. O'Connor it has been a
killer. The extroyert New Yorker
who goes in for checked suits, hard
work and quick decisions, has trav-
eled to all the battlefronts and all
the 4S States. He has expanded
the Red Cross operations to in
credible efficiency while at the same
time raising the blood pressure of

Illustrations, which have been given

Mr.. O'Connor from continuing to
streamline the organization. He
would probably like to continue the
Job.

The honorarium of Red Cross

During the war the late Norman
Davis stopped collecting pay; Mr..

yesterday how he and three of his

The four Americans, jolting mer-

American white star atop the hood,
were stopped by Communist fire
from rifles and knee mortars. Ap-
parently the Reds took care not to
hit them. The Americans were car
rying carbines, but did not return
the fire.
The major said they were well
treated by their captors. He added
the Communists showed intense
