Tonight is as good e time as ary f6r tho best feathefweight in the Wogid at this moment Co lick eal uaet0io of Boston for the third time in succession. Twice in Bo4- ten. which is BaFsOlo's back yard" and where slick Sci k about as easy Co defeat as the income tax. Hartford Willie Pep ostipolnted naFtcio Che hgHt time by a point score Of zoe 0 154 according Co the complicated and scTewy Maesa- ehueetls scoring system. which in- elu0es rounds as sell as points. and later at Braves field. where NWp pasted Bart0io 70 thoroughly that Pat John Buckley. the Bos- weil of b0xing iF Boston. had a little trouble recognizing Sal Bar tolo as the boz who NOW hoIda the featherweight championship of the world in 44 of otir @ states: be. catise Pep s not recognized as champ by the National Boxing Association. due to some political 10ggerheads between the NB.A. and New York Commission. when the late General John ]. Phelan was chairman Of the latter group and Abe Green, c Patterson, N. J.. news- papefma1i. was boGs of the national association. Pep also licked Phil TefranOva very easily. and the same Terranosa is the bOy from whom Bartolo son" the feather weight title. Therefore. on the basis of fighting and boxing ability within the ring. Pep is by far the better. but he is champ Ofhcially in only two states. while his two- time victim. Bart0lo is recognized in 44 states. si1ly isn't it7
 However toniehts the night when only ONE 12e pound cham pion wiil survive. BARRING A DRAW DECISION. and if Pep sr't the one and only featherweight champion Of the world by mid night. Assault is just a cheap platter that couldn't win a five gurlong race at PascOag against brewery horses. All week long the smart money lads have been looking for angles figuring on another out door bout, etc. but Willie Pep has too much q. stake Go be part 0l any 'deal' which Is why he should not only defeat but possibly kayo Bart0l0. who Is a notorious Init and run" specialist and a hard man to catch up with. Pep is really punching these days. and if Sal dares slug it out with him some body will be on the floor and it does not figure to be the little guy from Hartford by ary stretch Of the imagination. But if Pep Is dropped, we will see lot Oi action as soon as he regains his feet. Al sra tops it should be very much better than some ians expect due to the similar styles Os the priEi- eipals.
