Bis deep interest * in the slroon-iHires of bis se^on made him a son of benbfactor of the game and earned him many pages of publicity in the New York papers. LeRoy Costantlro, cousin to LuLu the featherweight coo- umder is one of his many proteges . . .

MP Honk Weinstein connected solidlr with left after left while lohn Hart countered with just os many rights. More them once they stood with guaids down and j\ut drove home blow after blow. Both Iwys stood up un der the terrific pace remarkably well, cmd after three rounds the judges awarded a close decision to Hart. ^Ivsa Bcrty Defested Popular Ivan Berry dropped a close declslan to Gus Simon, tbo Negro scrapper In the second of three beadune bouts. Simon, re turning to the ring after a lo^ absence, showed no lU affects and landed well and often.

There can b& no dispute on this statement when tbe record Is In spected. They, have won 22 games and lost ncme. The competition has Mtea the best the Field has to offer and all games have been won by decisive margins. This unbeatable clan is manag ed by SOT; Tony Stanwyck who has done a supen job of keeping the boys togemer and working m a smooth and high - spirited team. Pvt. Ray Bobber, pitcher for tbe winner’s of tbe softball league, went through tbe tough schedule by entering tive hall of fame via the no • hit nd no - run. OtVIi^ credit to ooe man would be unfair in the doings of t b 1 s fine aggregatkm. Prom every posi tion on the team, tbe minions of Capt. D. V. Bernstein chalked up stellar- playing.
