Little Known Tippy Larkin
Gets Shot At Championship
By Jack Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Dec. 18 (U.R) Friday night at Madison Square
Garden, a slender blond chap will climb Into the ring to fight
for the lightweight championship of the world. He is Tippy Lar
kin, the man nobody knows.
Who Is this guy LarkinT How
com he's in there battling for
the ring's second-richest title?
Who selected him as the oppon
ent for negro Beau Jack, the ex-
bootblack of Augusta, Ga., who
has been widely publicized In
newspapers and magazines?
Wounded by Gun
Larkin Is the guy who was
known as the "Gar'y.ld Gunner"
until he shot himself accidental
ly last July. When that rifle
bullet went through his right
shoulder, even his fans around
Garfield, N. J., figured he was
washed up for good. But he
wasn't.
Maybe the Impetus from that
accidental wound was what he
needed, because when he re
turned to the ring in October,
he was hitting harder and more
accurately than before. But his
friends quit calling him "Gun
ner" because they didn't want to
get socked. '
Larkin returned to the ring In
October and clicked off four
mora victories, stretching his
winning streak to 23 straight,
topping the string with a 10
round decision over Freddie
Archer, a tough, able welter
weight. Larkin la a lightweight,
remember, and Archer had beat
en Jack twice In 1941.
Beau 13-10 Favorite
Larkin hasn't fought in the
Garden since last January, when
he won an eight-round decision
over Chester Rico of New York.
Hence Manhattan fans have
mora or less forgotten his
prowess. And Beau Jack is fav
ored In the betting at 13-10.
But Larkin and Manager
Angelo Puccl promts an upset.
Puccl emphasizes that 25-year-
old Larkin, who, during seven
years of professional fighting has
registered 41 knockouts in 64
bouts, li an experienced all
round fighter who Is superior in
Doxing akin, punch and stamina
to 21-year-old Beau Jack.

Fuzzy-Haired Blacks Help 6Q
to 70 Per Cent of Downed
Airmen Reach Guadal
canal. By Charles P. Arnot
United Press Corresoondent.
With tne U. S. Marines On
Guadalcanal, Nov. 24 (Delayed)
(U.R) Thanks to fuzzy-haired na
tives, between 60 and 70 per
cent of the American pilots who
have gone down in damaged
planes have been able to get
back to Guadalcanal, an air
operations officer told me today.
Official records show that the
natives have aided more than
30 American fighter pilots who,
unable to reach Henderson field
for various reasons, chose to
crash-land near outlying islarads
Some Away Long
Some pilots have been listed
as "missing" from five days to
six weeks. Barring injuries in
landing they generally return
in excellent physical condition
and some actually gain weight
during their absence.
During the height of a dog
fight between Guadalcanal and
Savo island, 2nd Lieut Howard
W. Bollman, 21. of Dundee. 111.,
shot down one Zero before a
stray Japanese bullet cut his oil
line.
FROM GLACIERS TO GLIDERS
tjh dl we Is
"I knew I would have to make
a forced landing, so I glided
toward Savo which was only
about five miles away," he said.
"I no more than hit the water
before three natives cam out
after m in a canoe."
Bollmann lived In regal style
for three days. The natives put
him up in their chief's quarters
and fed him boiled birds' eggs
and potatoes.
"On Sunday we all went to
church." he recalled. "Th sing
ing was a bit off -tun but the
natives seemed to enjoy It The
women were all decked out in
colored shirts and the men wore
their best breech-cloths. I must
have shaken bands with a hun
dred of them after the service.
Boy, how these people lov to
shake hands and salute."
Book Presented
On Sunday afternoon, came
the high point of his Savo stay.
The natives gave him a book
of American western stories.
"I was reading about Two
Gun O'Malley' when I heard a
swishing noise above my head,"
Bollman told me. "I looked up
to see two natives sitting near
me brushing the flies away with
palm leaves."
Native trnes on the islands
have organized special patrols
to watch for American fliers.
One In each group usually
speaks "pidgin" English.
One pilot told me that he
approached a small island in his
rubber boat to find two natives
awaiting him on th beach.
'They gave me a scare for a
minute," he said. "They stood
on the beach swinging long,
sharp knives and shouting, 'Me
friendly, me Christian.' I took
their word for it. They proved
to be Bill and Ben both swell
fellows."
