Val Douglas long ago bad de cided in print too that Eddie Cavalier, with hi dark, curly hair na Handsome feature, was , good-looking to be a fighter. Once - she had hinted that he could hava . been a greater riot as a slugger Instead of the boxer he waa but that b piefeiied to protect his good looke. That, in fact, waa what had started the whole feud. He had never forgiven her for that and threatened to eject her bodily himself if she tried to pay a visit to .his Pomp ton Lakes training camp. Trom her position of vantage overlooking the deck, Val Douglas smiled sardonically. Here, at least, was one training camp ha couldn't pitcn nar out of. e e TVOTTT KELSO, spattered and smelly from paint, fixed her wiin a vindictive are at lunch.

"Please, lady cut the comles. - If he see you enjoyin" this too much ifU throw him so fax off i neu never get back." While Mike skipped rope to get himself warmed up Cavalier went n th light bag. Coolly, . expertly ha beat out a rhythmic woo 01 learner on board, raster, faster he worked until the bag be came an indistinct blur of motion . ana tne noise became a flat, roll in wave mat sounded like muffled machine arm. Val found herself admiring the sight Eddie lifted his eyes from the bsg, without breaking the rhythm and noticed the rapt look on her face. As though it were a sudden. spiteful gesture he slammed the oag one terrific punch and ended the show. The gesture startled her na ne smirked. . . .see A MESSAGE sent down by the raaio operator Interrupted the . workout "It's from Sam Golden," raid Duffy Kelso, reading it quicKiy. "Golden, hey? What1 up?" Pop unma asiceo. "Plenty," Duffy moaned. "He says the newspaper guys don't be lieve he didn't know a thing about uus ana iney ain't even talking to him, and if I know Sam Golden, he's tearing out his hair for fear mayoe weya boycott the fight "But that ain't all," Duffy con tinued. "The state boxing com mission had to be notlBed, of course, and they demand that we put up a 95000 bond that well , show up for weighln' in cere monies cm time. "Whom we get to dig op the J8000 for Us?" Kelso demanded. "We gotta think fast." . "Well think about that later," Cavalier said Impatiently. -I'm getting cold. Let's so Mike " They climbed in between the ropes and Kelso and Grimes looked at each other questlonlngly. st wasn't luce ma sua to be so im patient Ha was like a race horse at the post It was something new and they didn't like it Duffy Kelso forgot aU about the $9000 bond. "Okay," Pop grunted, taking out his watch. "Start slow and take It easy." ' e - ("AVALIER danced forward and flicked a straight left without a preliminary motion of any sort It caught Mike on the bridge of his nosa and tilted his head back sharply. .Alike looked surprised and advanced mora cautiously. Val tried to read Cavalier's ex pression but the psdded hesd guard he wore obscured his fea tures. AU she could see were a pslr of piercing eyes, and aha dldnt like the way they were be ing directed at Mike. Mike Kelly went a good 195 pounds and there wasn't an ounce of fat on him. The years had slowed him down little but he could still maneuver surprisingly well. Kelly tucked his chin behind his left shoulder and went to work. He muscled in close and worked a short right to Eddie's ribs. Cav alier jabbed him sharply twice in the face but Mike let them bounce off and shuffled in for more. He swung a heavy right but wraithlike Cavalier weaved away, stepped Inside smartly and whis tled a right cross to Kelly's chin. Mike reeled back against the ropes and Cavalier followed him. "Hey, you're supposed to be sparring," Pop Grimes roared, but U Eddie Cavalier heard ha gave bo heed. K planted a savage left in Mlke'a midsection and then as Mike's guard came down he banged over a solid right that turned Kelly s face half way around. Doggedly, his mouth cut Mike hung on and tried to bring his weight into play. Eddie rocketed a right to the heart and Mike gasped. Val rushed over to Kelso and Grimes. "Fop, make him quit that) He's Just letting his spite out on poor Mike." But Duffy Kelso was already in the ring, breaking them up. "Take it easy," he ordered softly, "You okay, Mike?" "Sure." said Mike. "Sure, rm okay. Ha can bit that boy can. Hits like a light heavy." Val walked over to Cavalier corner. "You're a heel," she grated. "And I don't think I have to tell you why." He looked as though he were going to reply hotly to her accusa tion, changed his mind and fidg eted with hla gloves.
