Oh, That Fox Fight
Members of the Department of

guests of the newly-organized
Department of Indianapolis
Ladies Auxiliary at a three day
regional conference in Indian-

was headed by Arlene Rhodes,

Joseph 1. Yanich, young Zionist leader,
was sel-

one year's study and work in Israel by the
Michigan Zionist Region, Dr. A. M. Hershman,
chhirman of the regional fellowship committee,
announced. Yanich is Detroit director of Young
Judea clubs. He will leave for Israel with other
national winners about June 15. Members of the

THE FIGHTS WERE all good
ones, and when Jake beat Robin-
son in the second encounter it
accounted for the lone setback on
"Sugar's" professional record.
Since those lush days, however,
Jake has not been doing so well.
Late in 1947 he lost to one Cecil
Hudson in Chicago. Following
that, he was TKO'd by Billy Fox
at the Garden in a strange exhi-
bition.

IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY re-

the ring with a ruptured spleen,
hardly a condition conducive to
physical well-being *ith a right-
hander of "Blackjack" Billy's cal-
iber.

Take That! And That!
VILLEMAIN'S CLAIM to fame
Is that he, like Cerdan, is a
Frenchman. That's as far as the
similarity. goes. Although a good
earnest fighter, and one who has
-. proven that he can take a good
deal of punishment, he is hardly
in the same class with the Casa-
blanca walloper, Cerdan.
And so, Cerdan and La Motta
will mix it for the middleweight
championship of the world in two

Gershwin Chapter
RED SMITH of the Herald
Trib, and at times a person of
great humor, has this, in pait, to
say about the match, and I quote;
"For a La Motta fight, Detroit has
several advantages not shared by
other cities. For one thing, it is
631 miles from Columbus Circle.
For another, it is equipped with
a tunnel that permits easy, rapid
flight into Canada."
