team and when they weigh me the beam balances at ITS, but it's a little higher than center, though 1t ain't touchin' the top bar. Anyway, they say I'm overweight.
 "There's lot of telephonin' aroun', but finally the officials say I kin fight, only the point goes to the other fellow.
 "Jes' about the time I'm gettin' ready for my fight bunch of cops swarm in with machine guns and pistols and haul me off to the hoosegow. They're playin' the Star Spangled Banner and I'm out on the field surrounded by these ar- tillery- totin' cops and the crowds looks at me and thinks I must be a terrible outlaw.
 I'm charged with killin' my wife in Gary, Ind, back in 1926. Seems some colored preacher has identified me from photograph as the man. They keep me at the jail-house questionin' me, though I tell 'em I never was married. I was only 12 years old in 1926.
 "Well, they finally are convinced, but by that time the fights are over, and the feller I beat in the finals of the Golden Gloves few weeks before substitutes for me and wins.
 There was a wealthy doctor at the fights and he was givin' every fighter who scored knockout a fve-dollar bill. He comes up to me and hands me a flyer and says: Here's your five, Joe. I know you'd have scored a knockout if you fought
 50, you see, though I couldn't a won if I did fight, won anyhow the flyer, I mean.
 Those cops sure musta thought I'd married awful young.
 And there was no income tax on that tln," huckled Joe Louis.

 Goss started with 8 three over par on the first hole, but was only a stroke behind Farley after IS holes of medal play. Luan, an excellent match player, is blessed with an ideal temperament for the game is figured to be right in the running all the way, while Bob Reinicke, a 75 qualifier yesterday may surprise several of the championship flight contestants. An 83 was good enough to get into the first 16; five play ing off for one place won by Nor man Boucher.

This Sporting World
Salute to "A Great Man
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

One week ago tonight, Nauga. tuck's Peter J. Foley died, victim of heart failure at the age of 7C years, the three score and ten Of biblical passage. Having beer in Harrisburg, Pa, at the time had no way of knowing of his pass ing, though in daily touch witt Waterbury; because there was nc particular reason for mention o. MT. Foley at the time except by chance and that did not happen. i should have liked to express my sympathy to his family, particularly his two sons, George and Ray whom have known some 20 ol more years.
 The passing of Pete Foley, un-
 expected as it was, is very hard
 to take by those who really knew
 how great a man he was. His
 greatness, to me, was by action
 and accomplishment, rather than
 words; for Pete was never one
 to talk very much; but when he did say something, he was always
 worth the hearing. Many times, have wondered if Naugatuck people really appreciated what a great man they had among them! A man who could bring out the best that any boy had in him in character, courage, and skill in sports.
 Peter J. Foley was not an in ternationally known figure in the sports world; but I dare say that there is not town in the U. s. A. of 15,000 to 18,0O0 people that shelters a man who has done so much for so many boys over a period of 38 years. Pete never knew it, but he was my personal selection as the best coach and handler of young boys I have ever seen. If boy was tinlid or lacked courage, MT. Foley in his gruff manner, had little use for him; but would try every way he knew to develop in that boy a fighting spirit, and will to win" If the boy wouldn't or couldn't give everything he had in tight game, MT. Foley was through with him, for he tolerated no ''dogging". tactics or "prima donna attitudes and with a few well-chosen words, could cut a "swell- kid down to Lilliputian size in a matter of moments.
 For three years, he was my selec tion for one of those Gold Keys given by the Connecticut Sports writers Alliance each year to three men who have done the most for Connecticut sports" The going was tough, though keys were given to Bobby Jones, to whom Connecticut means little or nothing; to Gene Sarazen, because he once caddied at the Brooklawn club and to others who have not done one fifthieth for Connecticut sports in comparison to MT. Foley's 38-year contribution at Naugatuck.
 The boys finally voted him gold key, much to my relief and satis- faction; for I had embarked on a 1O-year siege with that objective in mind. Now that he has gone, they have the slight satisfaction of knowing that they not only honored a man who so richly deserved such honor; but gave him one of the greatest thrills of his decling years.
 Make no mistake about it folks Peter J. Foley was truly great man; and has left many a young man behind him as living memo-- rials to his greatness; men such as Frank (Spec) Shea, Ray Dubois, Bill Moody, Eddie Butkus, Dick Tuckey, Bill Karaban, Gene Czap- licki, Johnny Balinsky, Ray Ander- son and many others.
 To his family, particularly Ray and George,-my sincere con- dolences.
