Blows to Spice Stores, Gate ~NEW YORK, May 23 Our new welterweight champion, Kid Gavilan, the black pearl of the Antilles, features what is known as the bolo punch, a pin-wheel which he starts from the floor. It gets its name from a cutlas-like weapon used by workers in mowing down sugar cane. Actually it's an amateurish ——————————— maneuver, depending upon Way to, sprain or break a wrist, speed and surprise for effect. I'd sav.

Johnny Kilbane, over the hill and not in the best of shape, was losing his featherweight, title to Danny Frush when, in desperation, he pulled the Englishman into him and kheed him in the groin.

N the brewing industry, Burger Beer is becoming known as the “Flavor-plus’ beer —because when you drink Burger Beer you get a lot of ‘‘Brewed-in"' goodness that you've never tasted before. Burger gives you more . . . more grain, finer hops, better brewing, longer-aging. When you drink one glass of Burger Beer, THE MIRACLE OF FINE BREWING, you'll know, perhaps for the first time, what a full-bodied finer quality beer really tastes like. You'll taste the "‘flavor-plus’ brewed-in quality... . and tell your friends about it —as so many thousands are doing. Every day more people say “Burger Please” — Because It Pleases.
