sweatshirts and fighters unmen- tionables. "That's my first love. But I have to fight to get a repu- tation, so they'll call me such names as the singing fighter or the 'crooning killer or something along that order"
 Remembers Jack Doyle
 Manager James Joy Johnston crushed his famous derby, remem- bering such fainting fighters as Jack Doyle, "the Irish thrush" and ordered his pride of the Pacific into the ring.
 "Singing, James Joy snorted, as his protege went through the mo- tions of saving his life for his fight Monday night with Lee Savold. A last Mexican light heavyweight had for the moment pushed all throaty thoughts from HooSman's head, mostly with lightning-like left Jab.
 Here's a real good heavyweight with a fortune in his hands and he wants to sing" complained John ston, who weighs a padded no pounds. q oughta knock his bloody head off.
 why he was an all-around ath- lete in high school and then won the California Golden Gloves" Jimmy added. Then, down in Aus tralia, he knocked out the Aus tralian champion in nine rounds, and they thought 1t was a bloody mistake. So they put them to- gether again and Al knocks off his bloody head in seven. Now he wants to sing"
 Grin When Left Lands
 The disgusted little Englishman grinned as another left landed on Hoosman's nose, feeling almost as if he had done it himself.
 "If we could only ruin that bari- tone," James Joy ruminated. "Okay, that's enough"
 Seconds later, HooSman was ly- ing morosely on the same rubbing table from where short time be- fore he had been grooming "If l Loved You" But there was no love in his heart now. Those left jabS had the claret spouting from his nose, the one he hopes will grace bandstand, and cold congresses weren't helping much.
 That damned Mexican, what's he trying to do, make punching bag outra my nose" Al growled. Hell have it all over my face. Why I'll kill him, that's what I'll do."
 Ire Controlled
 Peeking out from under a towel, Hoosman noticed he had company again and controlled the ire re- sulting from his damaged promos- cis.
 That boy made me very angry" he said in his best singing voice.
 That's good" James Joy said Lersely. That's very good. You bet- ter think a little more about fight ing and a little less about sing ing"
 There was no answer from the erstwhile crooning face under the towel.
 "Singing-huh!" The little guy in the tin hat snorted disdainfully. ' don't know what this bloody busi- ness is coming to-"
 But from the way the door slammed, James Joy showed em- phatically what he thought.
