‘Bring on : the Big Guys,’ Demands Galento’s Board of Strategy
Tony Finishes Feldman in Three Rounds
8000 Shivering Fans Hoot
"Or Laugh at Brief Miami Bout.
By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer
‘MIAMI, Feb. 24. —Having virtually
exhausted the field of nondescript derelicts, the Tony Galento board of strategy now announces that it
is in a receptive mood for more sub-
stantial fare. *. Hurling defiant words through the ures of his teeth, Mr. Joe Jacobs today, “They’ve been claiming we won't fight anything but bums. All right, bring on the big guys. We are ready.” This stirring declaration followed another magnificent triumph by Mr. Galento over an earnest nonentity by the name of Abraham Feldman. The end came peacefuly and without noteworthy incident in less than - three -rounds on one of the coldest nights in Florida history. Some 8000 shivering gullibles, draped in furs, heavy coats and blankets revived the climax with mingled laughter and derision. Those who laughed revealed a becoming sense of humor. Those who scoffed evidently do not read the newspapers. From the beginning the local gazettes were forthright in their attitude toward the fight. Very pointedly they warned the citizenry there would be no fight.
Collapse Is Authentic
Unlike the recent Detroit fiasco which resulted in an executive house cleaning in the boxing commission office, the local affair ended without any unsavory or unpleasant implications. Mr. Feldman lived up to his advance billing as a third-rater. His collapse was as authentic as it was inevitable. Staged by inexperienced promoters—who wound up with a painful deficit—the show produced several awkward and static moments. Messrs. Galento and Feldman had to wait in the ring nearly 15 minutes until some one fetched the gloves. But in due course the gloves arrived, which was fortunate. This, at least, made it look like a prize fight. The first round was singularly unexplosive. Mr. Galento threw an assortment of menacing scowls and growls at his baldish opponent, mixing these with occasional lefts to the body and the head, which carried enough authority to make Mr. Feldman wince. ‘Quit Your Fooling’ Mr. Jacobs did not seem to be altogether pleased with this performance and after the bell he scolded his hairy brute venomously... “Everybody knows he’s a bum,” said Mr. Jacobs. “You quit your fooling around and go out there and knock him dead. You hear me?” It was evident that Mr. Galento heard, for in the second round he toppled his opponent three times with legitimate and forceful punches to the body. The referee was a gentleman by the name of Davey Miller imported from Chicago. As the bell sounded ending the round, Mr, Feldman was on his knees in a prayerful attitude and Mr, Miller's count had reached seven. There must be a thousand other places Mr. Feldman would have preferred to be when the bell sounded to start the third round. Resignation was written all over his agonized pan when he came out slowly and hesitatingly. He and everybody else knew this was the round. It had gone about half a minute when the Jersey Jumbo doubled him up with a hook and Mr. Miller mercifully ‘interfered. . Just As His Cards Say And so we have Mr. Galento still the No. 1 challenger, as his printed social cards read, and in the middle of a knockout streak—admitting, hastily, that the streak has been compiled at the expense of some of the most outstanding mediocrities in the ring. : The question now arises what are we going to do with, for and about the gentleman? A large number of competent observers refuse to believe he can fight a lick. Just the same there is no denying there is a lively public interest in him. Whether this is due to his unorthodox habits and mannerisms or to an optimistic hope that the said competent observers may be wrong we do not know. + What we do know is that Mr. Ga1¢rito has reached the end of his tank tour and now demands consideration from the topnotehers, if any.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent HOT SPRINGS, Ark. Feb. 24.— Don’t feel sorry for Lippy Leo Durocher, new manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Leo said today he knew what he was doing when he surrounded himself with the biggest “brain trust” in baseball. Durocher, who talked himself into the job, has a board of strategy composed of Chuck Dressen, former manager of the Cincinnati Reds, and Bill Killefer, ex-boss of the St. Louis Browns and Chicago Cubs. And as if that weren't enough, Leo also hired Tony Lazerri, who has managerial aspirations and who

Adamick Decision To Be Appealed
DETROIT, Feb. 24 (U. P.)~— James Duffy, attorney for Jimmy Adamick, said today he would appeal a Chicago Superior Court decision sustaining the Illinois Boxing Commission in its suspension of the Midland, Mich., fighter and his manager, James Brady. Duffy said the case would be taken to the Chicago Appellate Court. He said he thought “we can win on the basis of legal evidence.” The Illinois commission suspended Adamick after he scored a secondround knockout over Jack Trammell, Youngstown, O., Negro, in a bout in Chicago last July. The commission said “neither fighter gave his best efforts.”

spurned another year with the Cubs when Gabby Hartnett stepped in ahead of him and replaced Charlie Grimm. To all intents and purposes the 35-year-old Lazzeri is a second base candidate but there are few who believe that.
In fact, some of the boys already are saying of Durocher: What. a stupid guy to stick his neck out by having a lot of ex-managers and would-be-managers hanging around waiting for the ax to fall.” “I'm not worrying about any of them getting my job,” Durocher laughed today at team’s early spring training base. “If I don’t win, I'll lose my job anyway.
