and scoring a sensational ten
round decision over Charley
Parham. The Parham fight saw
both fighters on the canvas sew
eral times in the early rounds.
BELLS final two Chicago APP
pearances really created stir in
fight circles, however. as he
knocked out highly regarded Ben

Costner. CoStner had a string Of
25 consecutive KOS to his credit,
and had only been defeated by

made Bell a much sought after
fighter. and Londes is more than
pleased to land him for an APP
pearance here at this time.
California" jake Wilson, Bell s
opponent. is no tyro at the boxing
game. He fought his way to the
finals OF the Berlin Olympic
games and after turning profess

terweight title contender spot
among all l47-pounders west of
the Rockies.
Wilson is a veteran OF over 100
fights, having defeated Baby Ariz-
menda, Richie Fountaine, Mike
Kaplan, Ceferino Garcia, Baby
Breeze, and scores OF lesser known
fighters. He dropped two split
decisions TO Ray Robinson and
Jake LaMotta in Madison Square
Garden. Both bouts were feature
attractions.
This fight stacks up as Detroit's
premiere fistic attraction of l945
as it pits two welterweight cham

Of their careers. Both men will

 Judge Healey further stated:
 We may well be proud that we have this opportunity to work in behalf of our junior membership, Their record in the time of war constitutes one of the greatest chap ters in the history of the American National Red Cross. Now that the var is over l am condent that with the assistance of the Junior Red Gross chairman and committee members we shall again in this com munity have occasion to be equally proud, We are fortunate to enjoy the loyal support and inspired lead ership of teachers and school off, eials in this city"
