When Babe Ruth came along and made popular the slugging, smash- ing style of attack, the crowds flock- ed to games in which there was promise of a home run.

But of late, the Kid, whose ca- reer has enabled him to be quite a factor in the Harlem apartment house business, has gone back more than a litt’e. A lot of his old speed and a great deal of his punching ability has departed and besides, he has that malady to which boxers who stay in the game long enough seem ensy prey — an eye almost biin fled by cataract. Even swith the Kid as good as he ever had been, the chances are he would never have got very far with a fighter of’ Tommy Gibbons’ class. And ab the Tucsday night battle turned out, he never had the slight- est chance to win. But the Kid is game. This can be said of him with- out any reservation at all.
