Victor over Frankie Genaro and Corporal Izzy Schwartz during the summer season at Meyers Bowl, Davies stands out as the most promment figure in the smallest division of pugilism today and, unless he is the victim of misfortune, few see any chance for him to be beaten in the forthcoming tournament. Corporal Schwartz Is now recognized as the flyweight champion, having acquired the title in a tourney similar to that which Davies is about to enter. Willie's rise in the fight game has been sensational. As an amateur he rose to national champion and was selected by the Olympic committee The main event will be a 10-round offering between Gene Reed of Los Angeles and Walter Majeske of Saginaw, at 146 pounds.

The Los Angeles boy fought a semi-final at Motor Square Garden against "Heavy" Andrews last Monday. Reed is squatty, while Andrews is tall and has a long reach, so that the former was at a disadvantage.

However, against Majeske he Is expected to show at his best and give the fans a real run for their money.

Duane Dowden easily bested John to represent United States in tne flyweight class when the Olympic games were held in Sweden, but because Willie's father, a Welshman, had never been naturalized, Davies MANY ENTER M'KEESPORT TOURNAMENT was denied the right to go at the last minute, quit the amateur ranks and went into the game professionally. Since that time he has met every flyweight in the country of any prominence, but It was not until last summer that he was able to get Frankie Genaro into the ring with him, DEVELOPS PUNCH. His decisive victory over Genaro made it tough for him in landing a bout with Schwartz, but it was eventually accomplished when Willie or twice, and nas won himself a lot of friends there.

FOUR TOURNAMENTS AT KEYSTONE CLUB HURRICANE FINISH MAY END PITT-OHIO STATE GRID GAME 1 Two tournaments in squash rac quets ana two handball are planned for members of the Keystone Athletic Club. With the ratings having been declared to be so low in finances that he was driven to the task of asking for two bits from helping hands. This lad, when in pugilism, gave his best, tried to put aside some of his earnings for that proverbial rainy day. Tolerable success in this competence plan was followed by a dreary layoff, due to mishaps of maul. Not so long ago he essayed a comeback.

It was not a striking return. Pals who once cheered him took to jeers. They had new heroe3 to acclaim. An old story one that happens with each beam of Old Sol. Nothing ahead, this youth has been forced to ask for support for himself and family.

The writer, aiming to sound out sentiment on a possible concerted move to benefit down and outers in scrapiana, ran into many patrons who sneered at any uplift game for fallen fighters. PERMANENT HOME SUGGESTED "Why don't they hunt a job?" snapped scores of sports. This idea wasn't universal, by any means. One fellow came across with a commendable suggestion. He urged that maneuvers be instituted for a permanent home or rather retreat for glovers who had seen better days, were disabled and all that.

And why not? Hasn't boxing been recognized by good classes of society in recent years? Organizations that once ridiculed and reviled slam recreation have resorted to its magical name to enrich their bank rolls. With this long deferred recognition there has come a custom to enroll professional pugilists in a class of public entertainers. Why wouldn't it be apropos, therefore, to start in motion a statewide step to institute a cove for derelict dream drivers. We have mug harbors for scores of other invalided merry-makers. Why not for boxers, same to be built and maintained by a tithe of ring Buckeyes Are Noted for Making Good Use of "Last Two Minutes."

Davies demonstrated in the bout with Schwartz that he has a wallop, although prior to that It was not thought he possessed a O. punch. However, in the tenth round of the Braddock fight he dropped Schwartz with a terrific right and the bell probably saved the champion from being knocked out.

Young Is reported to be one of the fastest little men in the game and has cleverness and a fairly hard punch to boot. He won the Michigan flyweight championship by mopping up every contender for the crown and lately has been climbing up the ladder nationally. He believes his speed and cleverness will help him to beat Davies and he plans to carry the fight to the Charleroi boy in. hopes of sweeping him off his feet. given a large number of players in both squash racquets and handball, the plans are to have a tournament for this group in both squash racquets and handball.
