He enjoyed the country and told
his own story in "fighting back to

Friends thought he had recovered
completely In the years that fol

and later managed prize fighters.
He was a reporter on the Gould.

that his success did not really begin
until he started his fiction work. It
is said that his wife was the first
to realize the market value of the
little features in slang he did. She
pressed him to send them to mag
azines and when he did he was on
the road to public approval.
Best known among Wltwer's works
are "The Leather Pushers," "Base
