All Boxing Champions To
Put Titles On Block Soon
Ptrnn V. J.. Oct. 18 U.R)
Commenting upon the return of
champions from service to tne
ring. President Abe J. Greene of
the National Boxing Association
predicted today that the revival
of title competition would ele
vate boxing from a "purely cash
register racket" to its pre-war
status as a genuine sport.
Kept Sport Going
He said boxing during the
war period had been generally
a process of "matching 8nd mis
. matching only by the register
of the greatest box office draw."
This enabled mediocre talent to
play to fantastic houses while
champions and leading contend
ers were in service. There was
no sporting reason for most of
these bouts, he stressed, except
to keep boxing "going."
He announced that all cham
pions have been notified they
must defend their titles against
proper contenders, after a "prop
Mi. f-nnriitlnnlnr' nprlnrl "
Three champions have been
ordered to defend: welterwcigm
Freddie Cochrane, Lightweight
Ike Williams, and Bantam
weight Manuel Ortiz.

J5oaf Designed To
Fit Into Rear Of
Family Automobile
Austin, Tex. (U.R) Those back
breaking days of tugging your
boat from atop the car or off a
trailer may soon be over.
All you may have to do In the
future is lift a 11-foot, seven and
one-half long boat from beneath
the "turtle" of your car.
Expected to start Into com
mercial production soon at Abi
lene, Tex., is this new wonder
boat made of 22-gauge steel
which comes in three sections.
At the st?rn the boat will be 32
inches wide. It will taper slight-,
ly toward the semi-pointed bow.
That's how the sections fit one
into the other for stacking into
your car. And the parts can be
assembled in about five minutes
or less by use of eight U-bolti.
Safety feature of the new craft
is that the sections individually
arc buoyant. Should one spring
a leak, the others still will float.
And the E-Z Tote Boat Works
plans to make separate sections
for replacements.
Not only will the boat have
oar locks, but it will have an
outboar motor attachment,
block.
Texas sportsmen art looking
forward to introduction of th
boat us a quick method of being
able to get to a fishing spot and
getting a hook in the water.
