A Fugilistic Portrait ILLY-NILLY, this column has become something of a com- bination boxing bureau and pugilistic rogues gallery. Either we get nice letters from boxers far too intelligent to remain in the fight game or we get portraits of the leather- pushing gentlemen done in undestrained tones. No sooner did we run a column by one of our contributors on Max Baer, a lad | whose life and loves is supplying more copy than any other ‘ill all hours in night clubs. A good young pug is not supposed to go near night clubs, that is if he wants to grow up and be a big champion. So you can see what a poor example Slapsie is setting for the younger generation of pugs. Maxie does a lot of training, though, and is al- ways in good shape. He doesn't drink or smoke—so they say—and he gets his 8 hours of sleep every night, or morning. He needs money, so he fights often; which is an excellent way of training. ° ° es “ROSENBLOOM no doubt has a good time of life, but I fear for him. It would be well, for his sake, if sometime in the near future he has a fatal accident in one of his cars, For Slansie is getting old for a fighter and is pretty near the top of the toboggan slide, and when Maxie starts sliding, he'll go down |fast. When his speed and his en- durance are gone, it will look very bed for Maxie. He has no money; although he has mede a fortune or two in the ring, his friends are most- ly of the fair weather variety, and in general he will be in a spot. It would be too bad to see the carefree Maxie acting as a human punching bag for some up and coming slugger, in order to make a few dollars. T would not like to see Slapsie hanging around the gyms, his once smart clothes a bit shabby, his face old and beaten, his eyes with that glassy stare that comes from being punch- drunk. “No, Maxie has lived a full life and it would be better if he leaves life before his future decends upon him. Maybe some day they'll find Maxie and his car wrapped around 8 tree and his friends will give him 2 showy funeral and on his stone they will write: ‘He was a great guy—while he had it’.” New York Table Tennis Meet Opens Thursday NEW YORK.—Thursday evening, Jan. 25, one of the largest workers’ table tennis tourneys New York has ever seen will open atthe Red Sparks A.

C. contemporary, Maxie Rosebloom, “The Gentleman Known as Slapsie.” . “WHIS’—writes L. Z. of New York— “is a picture of Maxie Rosem- bloom, known as Simple Maxie Rosenbloom and also called Light Heavyweight Champion. Maxie weighs about 173 pounds and will no doubt be very much surprised to find his name in the Daily Worker. At the present date no one has ever called Maxie class conscious and he probably thinks that Karl Marx is a German coin. However, Maxie is a very interesting character, and hence this article. “Slapsie got his name from his style of boxing. Mr. Rosenbloom hits very rapidly, and from all angles, with his open gloves. His arms keep going like a windmill and the other fellow gets slapped all over the nlace. These slaps are not very harm- ful, but they keep the other guy off balance and thus stop him from do- ing any damage to Mr. Rosenbloom. itting with an open glove is: a violation of the Boxing Commission's rules, but, like a number of their other rules, the right guys can break them, WS has been boxing for the past ten years, which is rather re- nerkable when you consider that it takes a lot of speed and stamina to fight in this windmill style. Maxie has both, speed and endurance. In fact most of his opnenents claim that the only time they see him, is be- ‘ween rounds, “Slapsie can alco wallop with the best of them when the occasion rises. In youth he used the ‘one for one’ system. You hit me and YH hit you, and the guy with the hardest punch wins, This is a soon caw the error of his ways. Not, however, before he had ac- quired a tin car and a few other earmarks of the trade, “Recently Maxie fought the 176 surprised himself and the fans by suddenly letting the Southemn boy have everything Maxie had right on what is known as the puss. The young man from down below the Mason-Dixon line immediately lost all interest in the world at large and that particular fight for the next few_minutes, “Rosenbloom ts very much under- rated by his colleagues. When Maxie puts his mind on his work, he's a good fighter in any company. ee ee DR. JULIWS LITTINSKY 107 BRISTOL STREET Bet. Pitkin and Sutter Aves.
