 New York, April a. (UP) -Gus Lesnevich, the muffin mounted light heavyweight champion of the world, takes of from LaGuardia field today for England with plenty of faith and hope and very little charity in his heart.
 Gus has faith in himself and the hope that he'll be able to success fully buck boxing's four ball rule when he defends his title against British Empire champion Freddie Millsin London May l4.
 As for the charity section, Freddie will have to take care of his own chin.
 But it's not the chin which is worrying Gus and his cortege, naT1e- ly Manager Joe Vella and Trainer Allie Ridgeway. It's the suh-ab- dominal section known as the groin which teanssposes ordinary box fighters Into Thespians of the cali- bre of the Barrymore.
 And the rub is that in England you still can lose Q title by "in- CAp4G1U2t1kAS V ubnVCE WAtAA et AOW blow, something which has been wiped wiped off the books in . dramatic conscious America. But over in BYitian lt still Is consider ed Q noteworthy performance to take one below the belt, fold ike the heroine in East Lynne and be crowned champion while groaning flat on your back-if you can get away with it. AddendA: home town boys usually succeed.

 Tt sure would be a relluva way to lose the title" Vella, e swarthy, pudgy little man admitted as he fretted out the flight. I'm going to have to try to talk 'em out of that foul rule"
 Vessa asserted that Q close scrutiny of the records revealed that Mills never had won 0 bout by way of Q low pitch and that Freddie had sent to the United States for c protective device such as Ameri- can fighters wear. He also added that he wasn't trusting anybody too far. knowing just what can and does happen under the foul rule.
 Remember?
 Every weight division has its precedent. There was, for instance, the bout in which Max Schineling won the title in his elimination fight with Jack ShArkey in 1880, following Gene Tunney'S retirement. Der Max simply donned the theatrt- cals as he was held on the floor by his manager, the aStute and sharp- voiced Joe Jacobs, whose cries of "foul' could be heard in the last row. They gave Max the title.
 And, driving the point even closer to have when added to the Pat erson job, is Q French first nighter in which Marcel T'hil proved his dramatic qualities to the home folks by screaming foul murder to take the middleweight crown from Cor fila Jnoee-anothe American = In 1882.
 The foul rule has been tossed out and the low-struck fighter Simply wins the round. But this isn't Eng. land, 90 Gus will look for faith and hope in head shots-and wait for his charity untol he gets home.

"Boy Bandit" Takes On "EJncLe Mike"

At the age of three score and ten, 1t takes . man with plenty on the ball" Co make a successful comeback in any line of daily endeavor. Box ing business is a young mans game, but not for James ]. Johnston, the 70 year old native of Liverpool, Eng land, who intends to become box ing promoter in New York, with Brooklyn his particular territory. The very idea of "bucking" million aire Mike Jacobs who leaped from a business of ticket-scalping to that of top-man in the boxing business within 10 years would be almost ur1- belIevable to many 'inslders' who will probably brush off Johnston's plan of action as just another pub licity stunt; but the fact is, the lite tie guy who features an IRON HAT most of the year says he will sign lease for EbnetS Field in Brooklyn today, the party of the second part being none other than Brother Branch Hickey of baseball fame, who has done right well for him. self since parting with Slick Sam Breadon, head man of the St. Louis Cardinals.
 As of the moment, Jacobs is not only 8 monopolist, having
 about every good fighter of cur- rent record, especially heavy
 weights, tied up like a sailors knot; but an inflationist as well,
 who has set price of $l0O per rlngside seat for return" Joe Louis-Billy Conn championship bout, the second bout to 90 on FIVE YEARS after the first one, almost to the day (June IS, l94D
 when Conn tried to knock Louis out but was knocked out in the thirteenth round.
 Tn his heyday. Jimmy Johnston was tagged the boy bandit of Broadway" and he was then ap- preaching 60 years of age. Jimmy. walker was mayor of New York and Johnston was king even verbally punching the New York boxing commission around as If the three members (Phelan, Far ley and Wear) were third-rate seconds to boxers, lhther than a trio of respected and dignified gentlemen with the best interests of boxing at heart, but too timid to do much about the so-called evils" of the game. Johnston, also known aS JJJ to the ring writers, was riding high, wide and handsome: and many were the victims of his Sharp-tongue. At long last, he made one fatal mis- take, which, after Mayor Walkers political difficulties, increased in its magnitude.
 Johnston picked Waterbury's Dan Parker as a victim, and when the smoke of printers ink and verbal tirades cleared, little Jimmy was on the outside looking in; Mike Jacobs moved into the Garden as match maker and has become more power full since that day. If Johnston had kept his nose clean" and tried to make . friend of Parker, rather than an enemy, he might be where Jacobs Is today: and wealthy as well, but Johnston found out too late that he couldn't chop Parker down to his own sises
 So now, the 70 year old JJJ is taking on Jacobs in a business way, bidding for boxing patronage from the people of the greatest baseball city in the world. How he will make out, remains to be seen. for you can be sure that Jacobs will do any, thing and everything to kill boxing at Ebbets Field, unless he controls it--lock, stock and barrel.

Throwing their greatest asset caution out of their

Just a bit of that caution would have left Patrolman
Fred Hull to welcome two little kddes scarcely of
arms and to cherish wife who must bear her burden
aone Patroman Ralph l. Osborne would be nursing
foot wound and Eugene Moszee's dream of a chain of
filling stations would have remained unshattered and
bitterness left in the heart of a surviving cousin.

Texas Eugene Moszee to Seattle five ago and
began the operation of the station which his
ment Moszee dreamed of chain of filling stations. He
had the reputation of being hard worker We understand
he was purchasing the property his station
For several years he has been known as foe of dis

ever he found it. We regret police record clouds his life

Moszees methods do not point the way.
