Minis. Weighing 1856. took split
eight-round decision over Garland
Edwards, 1853. They. too. poured
it on, with Minis showing to ad-
vantage in the inf1ghting. It was
the first professional defeat for
Edwards, who, earlier had defeated
and drawn against Minis. 1t looks
good for another bout.

Second-round technical over Corky
Rogers of New York. Danny's aim
was especially wild last night. He
was warned by Referee Charley
Reynolds for fouling four times in
the first round and had points
taken away. Again in the second

down for eight. Another body
blow f1oored Rogers again and
when he got up Reynolds stopped
the fight.

so seriously they haven't a
chance of picking up any

he has charts to prove it,
based on a series of weekend
tournaments conducted a year

Reynolds believes that sooner

realize that tournaments short

are not for them. Over a five

a 40 per cent lag. He has

With a neat pile of charts
looking like Christmas trees,
some upside down, Joseph T.
Reynolds has proved to his
own satisfaction that The Stars
bowling tournament is the
most equitable affair Of its
kind.
Mr.. Reynolds is a young man
with a grave mien (see CUT,
an inquisitive mind and flair
for figures-numerical, that is.
Three years of Army life also
cured him Of a disposition to
let things slide even when they
didn't seem to be according to
Hoyle. So when he got curious
to know who was skimmlng the
cream off the prize Doodle he
decided to do a bit OF book
keeping gum shoe work.
It was a painstaking task
that required more than sine
months of his spare time. 1t
meant sitting through last
years entire list of some Is 900
entry blanks, grouping them
according to handicaps, and de-
termining how much Of the
kitty went to each group.
Reynolds confesses he had an
idea the handicap system fav-
ored a certain crowd-the near
top -f1ighters-and was rankly
unjust to the dubs.
But nine months and 40 mil
lion decimal points after begin
ming this titanic task Joe dis
covered, surprise, surprise, that
the thing balanced out surpris-
ingly even. In other words, the
group that provided, say, 40 per
cent of the entries and. subse-
.quently, 40 per cent of the fees
collected, received approximate
ly 40 per cent of the prize
dough. There was some slight
variance, of course, but not
enough to make any difference.
TT is important to note" says
Reynolds, THAT although The
Stars tourney is called a 'Dubs'
Paradise that idea is mislead-
ing. Dubs got their full share
of prizes but no more than their
share"
The near-stars, as he calls
them, are the tournament
nemesis-the gents who pocket
most of the cabbage. Reynolds
points out that year ago they
took most of the scratch"
prizes, too. But he hastens to
point out that on the other
