Let us turn our attention today to some of the new faces in this game of fisticuffs. On the Padfie Coast,- in Los Angeles, there is a young man who recently turned in a victory that "stamps him as a potential world's - champion. : He is Lee Ramage and his victory was scored over another comparatively young fighter who - has already been conceded a chance to-vrin the heavyweight crown Steve Hamas. - It was Hamas' first defeat, but, according to reports, of the affair, Steve's prestige did not suffer. much. . Already the Pacific Coast fans are speaking of Ramage as a second Gene Tunney. He boxes somewhat in the same manner as the former heavyweight champion and has a left hand, comparable in deftness and power to that left which carried Tunney to the title. In fact it was Ramage's left hand which defeated Hamas. For nine rounds he kept that left in Steve's face. He ripped and tore with it until Hamas was almost blinded by the cutting blows. 4 Steve, fresh from a two round knock-out victory ever the elusive mm xutvris - i Three ef : the , biggest and toughest Bearcat football me took an Involuntary cold bath In the mlUrace Tuesday noosu They tailed to-turn out fo the dawn grid practice, that mom- , Lee weighed 128 Hro pounds more than, his opponent.

H,e is young and right now is but a very light heavyweight weighing well under 175. - He still lacks the strength and stamina to withstand the rigors of a long gruelling battle. His legs are rather pipe-stemmy as are his biceps, but bis forearms are extraordinarily . powerful. , And therein lies his ability to 'tie up much stronger and sturdier op ponents.
