McCOMBS THRILLS
FIGHT FANS

Benny Boom-Boom McCombs
sent the fans to their feet in
the first round of the six-round
semi-final, by knocking out Pete
Hammond of Chicago in 2:25 of
the first round. Denny downed
Hammond three times.in that
round, the first for the count of

Jackie Collura in a ten round
-bout in 1943 after Collura took
from
Jackie Wilson. He also beat the
highly-touted Phil Terranova in
a non-title bout after Phil had
won the title. He also beat Sol

ued

7 which put Hammond out and
by rights the fight should have
been stopped then, for when he
arose, he was so dazed that he
was unable to offer any resistance. Benny finally wound the
fight up with a hard left. McCombs~ next fight will be a
main event in Chicago.

Costa was just not the man to
beat Flint~s blond bomber: Jock
downed Coasta in the first round
and from then on, it~ was a
fight, for Costa came back
strong each round to take and
give until the fateful sims when

Eddie Garland, who has been
~steadily climbing into the Lightweight limelight, won another
fight which takes him a step
closer to Bill Eddy. Garland
beat Pat Ibarri of Chicago in a
six rounder at the IMA. Garland downed Ibarri four times
throughout the fight. and at one
time it looked as if Garland

hurry up and
down. Only a fool would make
that statement. She seems to be
getting along very well without
him. I haven~t seen her losing
any time so far. There are
plenty men here now just waiting to pick up where he ~left
off, and can do a very good job
of it. Don~t worry about her,

herself.

Don~t worry about B. J. G.
She~s about as interested in G.
G. as.a dog is with a goat.

Say, Kilroy, I thought you
wanted~ to settle down and reform. Didn~t I see someone trying to put you in a cab to get
you home. Shame on yeu, what
will some people think?

So E. W: wants- women falling. at his feet. Kilroy, you'll
have to go a leng way, and get
rid of those peculiar ways before many women: will have
anything to do with you. What
have you got to offer? - The
Buick? That wouldn't keep some
women I know in cigarettes.

I hear B. D.~s eyes popped at
the formal last week when he
picked up on the couple dancing across the floor. Only goes
to prove you aren~t as slick as
you think.

You'll hate me in the morning. Shouldn~t do things that

What's between D. L. and S.
A.~P. R. and I. S.? Where were

the chicks boyfriends, or are
they free-lancing now?
Where was D B. the other

nite when G. G. was coming on
so strong with a certain~ chick.

J. A. really came on at the
Royal Garden Sunday as high
as a person could possibly get.

The glass flefy and Kilroy
knew just what J. A. w as
throwing at. But she missed.

i D. C., apologizing isn~t necessary when you are man enough
to admit that you are not too
sure of your ground with C.
W., a friend.

H. -L., you had better check
up on a certain tall chick seen
playing with B. H.

J. A. you: would have made
a lovely model while sitting in
the show window at the Royal
Gardens, if you hadn't passed
out.

M. W., why are you so busy
every weekend? Slow dewn kid
and be yourself.

Q. R., come out from your
| Shelf and pick up on a certain
chick whose name is A. R. who
is plenty sweet on you.

A number of boys are falling
for S. M. D., but it is too late
now.

H. T. was supposgd to be going with a certain boy in the
Army, but when he came home,
he spent most of his time in
Saginaw. I wonder~Why don't
you and your shadow, L. G. get
off your high horses, and
Straighten up and = fly right.

I hear H. J. is getting married to a Saginaw chick. What~s
the matter H. T.? Ha! Ha!

C. B. A. you did great picking when you picked S. C. for
a girl friend. She is a great
kid. I know you will get on
some time with her since S. M.
isn~t here.

Since C. S. has put N. T.
down, maybe she will try and
