Willie Toweel Is World Title Prospect

warning to all lightweights, and to World Champion Joe Brown in particular: Willie Toweel is now using his right. Willie, South Africa's Empire Champion and the latest in a long line of fighting, Toweels, is a fine boxer. In six fights in Britain in six months he has shown more skill than most British rings have soon in six years.

But it was nearly all with his left hand. And while Britain, traditional home of the straight left, was just wild about Willie, this one punch would not have been enough to make a big impact on world boxing.

For although a straight left is a fine weapon, It needs some- thing stronger to back it up. In

his seventh British fight Willie produced that too-a crisp right.

This and the left proved the undoing of Orlando Zulueta, the Cuban who last June was with- in 21 seconds of taking the world title from Brown. There were just 21 seconds to go, with Zulueta ahead on points, when the Cuban was knocked down and the fight was stopped, for reasons which all Cuba still can. But understand.

A Big Punch

Toweel did not put Zulueta down, It is doubtful if he will ever develop a big punch. But now that he is hitting with either hand he is twice as dangerous. Four times he stopped Zuluaša in hla tracks with crisp right countera that really stung.

DICK FRANCIS SAYS..

AT LAST. THERE'S RECOGNITION FOR

THE STABLE 'LADS'

At last there has been public acknowledgment of

a fact well known to trainers and jockeys- that the success of a horse is due in good measure to the devotion of the stable lad who looks after him.
