Hob Pastor champhmship fight. At 11 37 a. m when, aa Paator'a manager, he waa fold the bout 1 Wtta definite for September, John- I •ton started talking In the precise language of the Liverpool docks. . where he received his formal education. and did not atop until be had worn o«t seven sets of list- ; «-n**r« The topic of his filibuster waa Bob Pastor. Aa a member of the ; seventh group of listeners I missed hl» description of Pastor's birth, pastor's kindergarten days. Pastor's courtship, and Pastor's marrlage. but waa present for his dist uaskin nf Pastor's coming light with Ixruls. Johnston wants the fight to be held tn Detroit. aa he tersely egplained In 10,000 words. “I want It In Detroit," he said without a pause for station Identification, "because I can g**t fair deal there, and I can't in New York under the present boxing commission. The New York commissioners don't like me and what 1 think about them wouldn't look good even If printed with Invisible Ink If I had my way about It I wouldn't even let them have tickets to th« fight If is a waste of good cardboard, because they know so little ahout fighting they can't appreciate what they »w." In another curt outburst of 5.000 words Johnatmt said he planned to ask the Michigan boxing com-

miattjF ll - provided the fight was held In that state, to make it a flniah tight. ' "There is no limit to bow long 1 , a fight can go in that state.” John- 1 ston said, “and that’s the way it I should be. Ten and 15 round 1 • tights are for sissies. My Pastor la a mau and can fight all day and night If necessary. A fight of 20 or 25 rounds would suit him fine.' j Several listeners tried to Inter-1 > rupt Johnston and ask him it he 1 thought Pastor could run back- - wards for 20 to 25 rounds, but i there was no breaking through his ' barrage of words. From the sub - ject of the distance the light should go he moved Into a dlscux- : slon of the referee without so : much as a second's pause. 1 ’’ln Michigan I wouldn't have to take Arthur Donovan." Johnston said, ’’and heaven knows I don’t want Donovan in the ring at a tight I'm Interested In. He referred the first Pastor-latuis and what a job he did. "You won't believe it, but he Mid that once during the fight be thought of throwing Pastor out of the ring for running and dodging Ixvuis. That would have been a line thing, wouldn't it. to disqualify a lighter because he didn't nail himself down and let his opponent crack him on the jaw." While Johnston wants the light scheduled for 20 or more rounds, he thinks there Is a fine chance that Pnstor will knock out Louis j In the first round . "Gaiento would have flattened him In the first It he had been 1 smart," Johnston Mid "Remember when Tony nailed Joe with those two left hooks* Well. If Instead of trying to Und another left he had feinted with his left, which lavuls was afraid of and watching, und the ncrossed a right. Gaiento would tie champion today. Pastor never would have missed an oppori tunlty like that. He would have finished Joe off right there. Let me tell you this, boys . . . " My ears were beginning to caullflower at this point so I left.
