The Japs smuggled him to Europe where he immediately went to work for the Nazis. During the war he made regular radio broadcasts over the Nazi radio from Berlin and was the Arabian Lord Flaw flaw. Illus sein was also confidential advisor to Hitler on Arabian affairs. Today this man is living in France, free.

The Indianapolis Caps, who led

have been knocked out of the run

Hockey League playoffs.
On their home ice last night the
Caps took a 9-to-0 drubbing from
the now first-place Cleveland Bar

points behind the second-place
Pittsburgh Hornets, a margin they
are unlikely to make up in their
five remaining games.
The Providence Reds, meantime,
kept alive their playoff hopes by
blasting the Hornets, to /, before
5,843, the largest Providence Hockey
crowd in five years. The Reds are
six points behind Hershey, but have
seven games left to Hersheyis four.
A crowd of 9,576, the biggest Buff

Bisons nip Hershey, to /, in a
game marked by a serious injury

o-virgin Contest
Al UIine's S Tonight
Is Wicked Affair

An old-fashioned, back ALLEY brawl
seemed in prospect tonight at Uline's
Arena, where Dynamite Danny
Petro, the Southeast slugger, meets
Petey Virgin in a 10-rounder that
shapes up as the star bout of the
card.
Jimmy Hatcher and Eddie Dowen
mix in another ten-rounder, but
Hatcher is pinch-hitting for ailine
Pedro Hernandez and this one is ex-
pected to play second fiddle to the
other fight.
Petro hasn't displayed his fistic
talents around here for some time
for one reason or another, but If he
retains any of his old vigor and
power it may be curtains for Virgin
Danny packs potent punch in his
left and has a lot of persuasion on
his right, too, whereas Virgin
couldn't dent a pillow with his
Sunday punch and relies wholly on
ring generalship and other articles
to pile up winning margins.
Virgin has copped four in a row
here and obviously is being built up
for good money shot, but his pres
ence in the ring with Petro would
indicate the vacation is over and
Petey has got to go back to work.
Hatcher will be remembered for
his feat of staying 10 rounds with
Ike Williams in his last appearance
here, while Dowell is said to be a
proficient New York Negro light
weight who knows how to please the
crowd.
Four-round preliminaries pair
Norman O'Neill VS.. Don ELISE:
