BOXERS WIN
(Continued from Page 1)
staggered him at the bell. Mose
ley’s round.
The second feature between June
Lee, Textile Owls, 143 lbs., and El
lis Early, Richmond, 142 lbs. As in
the first fight, both boys came out
fighting at the bell, but each boy
soon learned to respect the fight
ing ability of the other. Lee’s
strong left jab was punishing Early
quite a little, until Early caught
Lee flush on the jaw with a strong
right which knocked him into the
ropes, which saved him from a
knock-down. Round even. Second
round—both boys were very cauti
ous. Lee seemed to forget he had
a right hand, although he did some
fair jabbing with left. Early back
ed up quite a little in this round
but fought hard when cornered in
ropes. Round even.
Third round—started off just a
bout the same as second until Lee
of the Owls, after one minute of
fighting, showed the fans what he
was saving that right for with a
left led he suddenly lashes out a
right hook to Early’s jaw which
drops him to the canvas for a
count of nine, but although out on
his feet this game boy comes back
for more and with a perfect one,
two punch from Lee the day was
over for Early. June Lee of the
Textile Owls wins by a knock-out.
The third and main fight of the
evening between Dick Collins, the
Textile Owls, and Bernard Davis, of
Richmond, a boy who has made ex
cellent showing in Golden Gloves
Tournaments in both North Caro
lina and Virginia, and has a repu
tation in his weight of ranking
with the best in A.A.U. circles. Dick
Collins also now ranks in the high
est brackets of A.A.U. fighters. He

has now fought in the past two
years approximately seventy-five
fights. He has lost two and had
one draw; also holds the A.A.U.
championship of North Carolina,
South Carolina and Virginia. These
boys came out at the bell with
plenty action. Collins’ long left kept
him out of plenty trouble. Davis
kept boxing in and landing some
good rights and lefts which had
Collins backing up. Davis caught
Collins in the ropes and landed a
hard right to his jaw. It hurt, and
Collins went into a clinch. Davis’
round. Round two—Dick Collins
came out a little slow, but fought
with more caution. Davis was still
leading the fight and although Dick
was landing a few body punches
Davis’ blows seemed to be carrying
a lot of steam until just before the
bell. Collins steps in and gave Da
vis a hard right and left to the jaw
which hurt Davis a plenty. Collins’
round. Round three—someone must
have injected some monkey glands
into Collins. He came out of his
corner fast with hard rights and
lefts to Davis’ body and jaw; drops
him in about thirty seconds to the
canvas for a count of nine. Three
times in this round Collins dropped
Davis for the count of nine. Every
time Davis came up for more and
had reached his feet when the
gong sounded, ending the round.
Collins’ round. Davis of Richmond
certainly displayed the greatest a
mount of intestinal fortitude the
writer has seen in the ring. Davis
second should have thrown in the
towel after the second knock-down,
or the referee should have stopped
the fight

as I head toward Washington for

0 There is no doubt that people
generally realize that important na
tional adjustments in the economic
field must continue. However, they
want the confidence of business to
be kept up through assurance to
the business man as to what he
may expect in the way of regula
tion and taxes. To delay this as
surance will undoubtedly be more
harmful thah to give it as quickly
as possible. Farmers are conscious
that surpluses are controlled by
weather as much as by what the
farmer does, and only want reason
able help from their Government.
But like the business man, they
want to know what is going to be
done. Again early action will be
more helpful than delayed action.
0 As a result of such thoughts
reflected by hundreds in conversa
tions, and in the faces of thousands
in “public forms” on important
questions, the legislators who have
attempted to reach the people and
obtain their views during the time
since adjournment of Congress, are
best prepared to meet the demands
of the day.
0 New confidence in all that we
are doing is found everywhere.
