BY FAIR PLAY. EW YORK, June 20— [ N Johnny Risko meets Patsy Perroni in a postponed match tonight in Cleve- | land, the home town of both men. Ordinarily a match of this sort would not attract much attention. It would be classed as a bout be- tween a former contender for the heavyweight title and a youngster trying to make the grade. Risko’s astonishing comeback and never-say-die spirit are too well known to need repeating. The fortitude of his rival is another story—cne that seldom is encountered in the annals of the prize ring. Risko has been making life miser- | able for the topnotchers for the past eight years. The sturdy Bohemian loves a fight, the harder tHe better, as Gene Tunney and Jack Sharkey fcund out. Five years ago Johnny cuthustled Sharkey to a decision, awhich cost_the latter a chance at the title, then held by Tunney. A Dblasted romance, several setbacks and Risko was laid off for six months. Mickey Walker quickly grasped the op- portunity to meet John when the lat- ter again was ready. Instead of a dod- dering old wreck, Mickey encountered a formidable Risko and came out on_the short end after 12 rounds of hard bat- tling. Tuffy Griffiths and King Levin- | sky were next on the list and the re- sult was the sam | ND now Perr Practically un- | know outside of his own baili- wick, the Italian-American has one virtue essential to a fighter's suc- cess in the hard game of give and take—indomitable courage. Two years ago Patsy won from Joe Sekyra ‘and Adolph Heuser. This is the same Heuser who was thought good enough to pair with Maxie Rosenbloom for the light-heavyweight title. A short time later Perroni was seriously kxnjur'ed in an automobile accident. | Surgeons patched up his mangled body |and face. The ccurage that carried him to victory in the prize ring was | cqual to the task and Patsy recovered. | Lucky to be alive, his chances of re- | turning to the ring were any odds you ! wished to quote. He did come back, | | with a victory over Tom Heeney, and | here he is in against the toughest trial | horse the heavyweight division has had {in a good many years. | More courageous men than Risko | and Perroni could not be found.

Safety from skidding. Safety from blowouts. If you want that safety, there’s just one sure way to get it, and that is BUY GOODYEAR TIRES. Here’s why— Safety from skidding There’s only one thing that can keep you from skidding —and that is a tread that has grip where the tire contacts the road —traction in the center of the tread, where Goodyear pats it. Goodyear Tires—the All-Weather and the Pathfinder —skid less than any other tire. Careful tests on wet pavements prove it. They show that the next best tire to a Goodyear skids 10% farther —and many tires skid 77 % farther than Goodyears! Safety from blowouts Blowouts are caused by the body of the tire breaking down. Goodyear Tires give you blow- out protection not merely in one ply or two but in every ply —from bead to bead. That’s because Goodyears are built with the patented ply material, Supertwist—which will stretch and come back long after ordinary cords break down under the strain of heat and speed. That means a longer lasting, cooler running, safer tire. Mileage increased 97 % in flve years Bus operators don’t guess about mileage. Their records show the facts. And more buses are equipped with Goodyear Tires than any other kind. Their records show that Good- years now average mileages which represent an increase of 97 % in the past five years. Prices are down—buy now Everyone knows prices are rising. Statistics show that commodity prices already have risen 50 to 100%. But tire prices are still down. If you want to see how much you save —look at these actual figures. TA[.K is cheap —but talk won’t keep you out of accidents.
