Ills desire for utother bout here evidently was not enthusiastically received.

Dummy did start the fight with a slightly swol'flii face and a bandaged cheek. When the fight ended 'the bandage had been and the swelllnc was Increasing. So much for the main go. Kid Pritchard won the iirl headlining the next card by his fight -last night. Announcer Clarence Wilson told the tans otter the young Missouri bantam kayoccl Sato.

Apparently It. wns all writer's 'mistake that Joe Saia was nounced as the. opponent for Pritchard in -these columns. But really the only Saia we ever hear of in Memphis was the veteran llgntweight, Joe Sain. Jce.

Frankic' is a southpaw with more than the usual awkward fashion and was an easy victim for the last moving Pritchard. But Frankie: was game and in exceedingly good condition which accounted for- the fact that the bout went five rounds. Hext week's card will be announced soon.

His richest harvest of home runs came In 1929 when he collected 33.

There was a time when the Buzz was regarded ns the perfect ball playor by critics on the coast.
