PUT THE KNOCK ON

EDUCATED PUGILISTS

New York, Sept. 3.

The fight mob long has put the knock on educated pugilists and the situation is causing a great deal of coh. 'cern again as Roland LaStarza, a young man out of the City College of New York, prepares to bid for the Heavy- weight Championship of the World.

Indicative of the point is a publicity handout from the International Boxing Club, promoting Rollie's September 24 joust with Rocky Marelano, which holds hope for LaStarza with the claim:

Gordon Pirie Become The Greatest Athlete The World Has Ever Known?

By ARCHIE QUICK

Gordon Pirie will become the greatest athlete the world has ever known. The opinion is not mine, but that of Mr Frank Geis, manager and coach of the United Stattes team at present touring Europe and therefore an authority whose judgment can be relied upon.

When I sat with Mr Geis at the banquet following Pirie's sensational Mile win over America's crack Wes Santee, Bill Nankeville and Chris Chataway, he waxed enthusiastic over the unsmiling 23-year-old Coulsdon bank clerk, who, by the way, was born in Yorkshire of Scottish parents,
