In Eighth Is Unpopular With Crowd.

NEW YORK, May 24 (U. P).— Davey Day of Chicago won a technical knockout victory over Pedro Montanez of Puerto Rico last night, but it was unpopular, Day, a 13-5 underdog at ring time, gained the decision over the Puerto Rican welterweight when the referee halted their scheduled 10-round bout at 2:37 of the eighth round to examine Montanez's badly gashed left brow. He refused to let the bloodsmeared islander continue. Day, who was outweighed by more than seven pounds, was a badly beaten young man when the match was halted. Lew Burston, Montanez's manager, was indignant over the outcome. The 7122 customers roared their disapproval. Day weighed 137; Montanez, 14414.

No different from Year-round Suits ...except cooler

It's almost impossible to tell a Richman Brothers tropical worsted from a year-'round suit. Both are all pure virgin wool, with the same smart style, the same skilful tailoring, the same beauty of pattern and color. The only difference is that Richman tropical worsteds are lighter in weight and marvelously cool. Truly, 1939's greatest summer suit value.
