gram contest—plus a possible |
$5,000 income tax bill from the
government.
“But I don’t mind paying that

Grandma will tell you that PEARL OIL was a kerosene
leader in her day—just as it is now. It doesn’t give off smoke,
soot or gases that might smell up rooms. It gives more heat
with bright steady flame that won’t creep up to scorch pies,

ROUNDUP
(By Hugh Fullerton, Jr.)
NEW YORK, (/P)—They tell a
story on Francis Albertanti, the j
fight publicist, about a time he
was betting heavily on Gene Tun
ney to whip Jack Dempsey in
their second encounter . . . After
ward someone asked how he felt
when Dempsey had Tunney down
for the famous long count. . . . “I
was on my feet,” replied Francis,
“yelling like everything for Demp
sey.” . . . That’s the way a lot of
people felt about the Joe Lauis
Jersey Joe Walcott fight Friday
night. . . . They hated the idea of a
great champion like Louis losing
to a 10-1 underdog, especially a
guy with an ordinary reputation
like Walcott’s. . . . But when Jer
sey Joe floored the champ with a
rock crusher right and when he
danced and side-stepped and
ducked to avoid the ever present
menace of Louis’ fists, they were
yelling like the dickens for Jersey
j Joe to stay on his feet and stay out
j of trouble.
From the more distant $30 pews,
where the customers couldn’t see
1 the damage to Louis’ face, the
fight looked like a dull affair—
the kind that would cause the fans
J to boo a couple of preliminary
bums out of the ring. . . . Walcott
j was the retreating counter-punch
er throughout; Louis the pursuer
i who apparently couldn’t make up
his mind what to do next when
his jabs failed to find their mark.
. . . Most of the spectators didn’t
know it,.but they could have seen
the scrap enacted, almost blow for
blow, on Jacobs Beach any day
last week with dumb Dan Morgan
playing the roles of both fighters.
... Remember Dan’s prediction:
' “Louis can’t jab this fellow and
j Walcott will give him trouble?”
