I asked Harry Fruechtemeyer,! his genial manager, and Harry, neatly twisting a cheroot to the other corner of his face, guessed that the boy would be playing.
I had quick visions of baseball, rugger or maybe golf as part of the training regime, but no. John Henry Lewis, six-foot negro holder of the world's light heavy-weight boxing champion- ship, was quietly strumming away at a piano. He's a grand fel- low.

But the first half had apparently taken too much out of the visitors, who relaxed, and Bedford, seizing their chances, piled on the points. Frankly, Bedford were in better training than Dulwich, who were only superior in physique.
