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
9, the second for the count oF
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.

bout in 1943 after Collura took
the Featherweight title from
Jackie Wilson. He also beat the
highly-tcuted Phil Terranova in
a non-title bout after Phil had

Eddie Garland, who has been

fight which takes him a step

Well, Well, Well. So J. A.~s
heart will break if E. W. doesn't
hurry up and_ settle herself |
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,
she~s strictly doing all right for
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 you, what!
will some people think?

So E. W. wants women falling at his feet. Kilroy, you'll
have to go a long 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.
