Old Panther of Boxing Fame Dies At 66

NEW YORK, R - The Old Brown Panther, who received 50,O0O for not stalking Jack Dempsey, is dead at 66.
 Harry Wills, one or the heavy weights who lighted boxing's star studded sky during the roaring Twenties, died last night in Jewish Memorial Hospital, from diebetes.
 Wills, who earned the tag "Old Brown Panther" because of his smooth, 1.-the feinting and side stepping actions in the ring, had more than 100 recorded fights He was known long after he ended his ring career in 1882 for his gruelling, month-long diet ses- Sions.
 But the most famous bout for which he signed was the one with Jack Dempsey that never came off. The New Orleans-born Negro later claimed it was the racial is sue that caused Dempsey's law yers to forfeit the champs $5O,- 900 purse
 The fight had been booked for years. but Dempsey's camp man aged to sidestep until Wills fought a 12-round no-decision brawl with Luis Angel Firpo in September. 1924, in Jersey City. Earlier, Fir DO had knocked Dempsey right out of the ring.
 That Firpo fight brought Wills a $150,O0O purse, his largest pay day ever. Most ringside observers agreed that Wills had the best of Firpo.
 Wills career began in 1911 in New Orleans and spanned 21 years. Twenty-two of his fights were with Sam Lasgford, another of that generations great heavies
 Side-by-side with his boying fame, came notoriety from his annual month-long fast. For 38 years, during and after his boxing career, Wills would avoid food for 30 days to "burn off the inn purities."

 T was making the test run, see, just checking, and these satellite things came whooshing past me from all directions. Golly gee, it was like Labor Day night on a fast turnpike.
 ''Mom, I'm getting too old for this job"
 Nonsense" interrupted Mrs. Claus briskly. ''Think of all the disappointed children there would be. Think of all the brownies that would be out of jobs in your work shop" I
 'fIt's time I thought about my own social security" Santa grumped. Besides, the reindeer are complaining. Blitzen says he was blitzed, Dasher says he's dashed if he'll stand for this sat- elliting, Donder has his lander up"
 "Oh, shush," shushed Mrs. San- ta. "I'l bet the people who make those satellites would be right nice folks if you really knew them"
 Santa groaned.
 "All they do is snarl at each other," he said. "All their satel- lites do is beep at each other. Although" Santa went on thought fully, "there is that new one, the one that dented the fender of my sled.
 'There may be something to be said for a race that still talks at this time of year about peace and good will =.

 Mrs. Gerlach grabbed the tele- phone and called the piano and organ company.
 The music firm called the mov- CTS. It turned out they'd moved a piano for the J. S. Wrights before delivering the organ to the Ger lachs. The Wrights had a big black cat named Coalie.
 Coalie jumped. onto the van and sat on the organ pedal, opined Mrs. Gerlach. A flap opens when the pedals pushed, and in she went.
