BROADRIBB FINDS TALENT IN COURT
"To have the stuffing knocked out of him and the Ten Commandments knocked into him," 17-years-old Leonard Garrett stepped from the dock at London Sessions recently to start life as a professional boxer.
That was how the acting Deputy Chairman, Mr. Richard O'Sullivan, K.C., described it, after he had listened to an appeal on Garrett's behalf from Mr. Ted Broadribb, former manager of Tommy Farr, and now in- structor in the Ten Commandments to Garrett.
Garrett, it was stated, had been before the court a number of times previously, and on this occasion was up for sentence after pleading gulity at Lam-1.

Broadribb said that he had trained lada with criminal re- cords before, and many had turned out afterwards as useful citizens and good boxers.
One, an ex-Borstal boy, became Byweight champion of the world. So Mr. O'Sullivan bound Garrett over, and put him in the care of Mr. Broadribb, who will, as he himself said afterwards, "train him on the right lines."

"I the boy has any boxing tenden- cles in him, I soon get it out of him. It does not take them long to forget the bad things in their life,

Thirty-eight-year-old Gor- don Avery, of Ceell Street, Plymouth, is living under "perpetual sentence of death." He has lost the power to manufacture his own blood, and is being kept alive only by weekly injections of blood substitute costing 308. each. His strange case began in 1927, when he was invalided out of the Navy following recurring bouts of pneumonia. He recovered, and held various shore jobs until January last year, when he collapsed again.
Doctors could not diagnose his trouble, but when it was found that no nourishment could help him it was realised that he had ceased to manufacture blood.

This year he collapsed again and he has been again discharged from hospital to fight his battle with death.
