Joey Barnes' Record Three years, ago a little dark-haired, tan-skinned boy in his teens who was inclined to transfer his fight activities from the street corners to the squared arena, after having practiced faithfully for a few weeks under the direction of Tex Baylor, erstwhile pugilist, tucked his green figlung trunks and sneakers under his arm and to Shainokin to witness a 'prize fight. I say witness a prize fight- because the young fellow in question who was Joe Barnes, local lightweight, carried along his fighting togs in the evenl one of the fighters failed to put in his appearance, which was often the casein those days. The curtain raiser was scheduled to bring together Johnny Gray, of this city, and another young scrapper of Shamokin. The Shamokin pug failed to appear and Joey Barnes, who was sitting in the audience, leaped from his seat and offered to fight Gray and the battle, which proved a hummer, was soon on.

In this manner Joey Barnes, now feared by all regional lightweights, made his ring debut. Since that time he has met the best lightweights in this region, and recently impressed fight followers by scoring a clean-cut victory over the hard-hitting and rugged Young Sharkey, of Shenandoah. But I'm getting ahead of my story. Barnes, after giving Gray the lesson of his career, although it'was the former's initial public ring appearance knocked out Gray, in the fifth stanza. It was an impressive ring debut and thereafter Barnes' services, especially in Shamokin, were in demand.

After fighting four bouts under the management of Baylor, Barnes enlisted in the Merchant Marine and while cruising in the South Seas fought many good boys. He returned to 'this city after serving out his enlistment and signed up with Johnny "Tex" Ballant, who at. the present time is his chief advisor and second. Since that eventful initial public appearance Barnes' record until the present time is as follows: Knocked out Johnny Gray, of Mount Carmel, in 5 rounds; knocked out by Sailor Matty, Shenandoah, in 2 rounds; fought a draw with Bobby Bar-gor, Willlamsport, six rounds; knocked out Battling Murray. Harrisburg, 1 round.

(These fights were while under the management of Baylor. The following fights were under the management of Ballent) Knocked out Young Brat, Shenandoah, four rounds; knocked out Jimmy Rennas, Heading, four rounds; lost decision to Pat Igoe, Shenandoah, 6 rounds; knocked out by Tommy Joyce, Kulpmont, 1 round; won decision over Young Sharkey, Shenandoah, 6 rounds. Summary: Knockouts, knocked out by Joyce and Matty; won 1 via decision route; fought 1 draw and lost 1 decision. This is not a bad record atall, atail, and Barnes having went through the "mill" has gained a wealth of experience which he is now using to the best of dvantage. With the indoor boxing season in this region coming to a close it wiLl be some time, probably, before we see the local battler in action, unless some regional promoter is successful in securing a license to promote out-door bouts.

If this does not come to pass Barnes will probably lay off until the indoor season again opens in the fall of this year. pected of the Athletics.
