Harry Hershfield: Who is the best prospect for the next American heavyweight champion? Corbett: If you mean who do I think is best I'll tell you in a hurry. Stribling. General Chorus: What! Corbett: This is what I mean. That boy has everything that a good fighter should have. Courage, speed, timing, a wallop — everything. But, and again I say, but— he has something else that he doesn't know he has. Harry Hershtield: I'll bite. What is it? Corbett: The ability to take it. He's overly cautious because he's afraid to let his right hand go. fearing that the other fellow might let his right go at the same time. In other words, he is afraid to gamble his right against his opponent's. Say, the first time I had the gloves on in a gymnasium out in 'Frisco I was knocked cold. When I finally came to my right senses I was on my feet trying to carry on. I didn't even know I had been out. And right then and there I learned the greatest lesson a boxer can ever receive — that it doesn't hurt to be knocked out. Once Strib learns, if he ever does, that his mind is master of his body — just watch him cut loose. As soon as an opponent looks aggressive Strib immediately becomes cautious. In that terrible contest he had with Sharkey at Miami Strib had the fight won and didn't know it. He landed a right that had Sharkey ripe for a series of follow-up punches that would have put Jack out but just because Jack, the instant that blow landed, looked twice as aggressive as he had before, he tricked Strib into laying off. by pulling his own right back in a position to shoot. Say, this will have to be ;ill for this gab-fest. Got enough dope. Doty? If you haven't give me a ring on the 'phone and we'll have another session. Good-bye. everybody. Curtain. Marcella {Continued from page 65) soloist in some churches. He. too. is married, and has two boys. Mrs. Dumke is a concert pianist. L .MOGEXE of Odessa, Mo., wanted a picture of Sally Perkins. In the absence of a picture of Sally, the belle of the Happy Hollow program, will you be happy, Imogene. with a photo of Ted Ma lone? You know he is the author of the Happy Hollow sketches. Sally— her real name is Ruth Lee Bren — is a very charming little girl, not quite five feet tall. She has merry brown eyes and merry auburn-brown curls and a cheery, sunny disposition. In Happy Hollow, Sally is the little girl who is constantly falling in and out of love. In real life. Sally is a continuity writer and piano accompanist. But no matter where she is. Sally or Ruth unfailingly dispenses cheer. Ted Malone N< 0 ONE at KGBZ seems to know the whereabouts of Bill Jonason. Maybe someone reading our S.O.S. will come to the rescue of Ruth of Jamestown. Kans. Roy Faulkner was down in Texas when you missed him over KFKB, but he's back on that station again. Mr. Denver, Chief Announcer of KFKB, says he thinks Roy is 23. A: .NOTHER S.O.S.

WDAG. Amarillo. KFH. WFAA. and they arc now the popular harmony team over Station WJJD. Len Ivey of that station says they have only two hobbies — harmony and more harmony in the team. They are both single! This may or may not have anything to do with their attainment of harmony — that's not for Marcella to judge. w« HY didn't you come in to see Marcella when you were in Xew York, Ruthie? I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate the hand-painted card and the lovely inscription. I'll keep it forever and ever. And the next time you go gallivantin' over this country of ours you mustn't forget to visit us, will you? I T WAS this way. C. L. H. of Binghamton. Our Imperturbable Printer thought Floyd Gibbons would look cuter with the patch over the right eye so without even consulting Floyd or the Editorial Staff, he went ahead and reversed the picture. Hoping this 'splains the matter. * ■¥ * IN ORMAX MORK has the sweetest voice that I have ever listened to," writes Shirley of Sugarhouse, Utah, "and he has a quality in it that seems to just "get you ! " Norman is none other than the Whispering Baritone on KDYL, Salt Lake City, the station over which he has been broadcasting since 1922. He remembers the days when the studio was so small that the artist had to back his way to the elevator when he was through with his song before the next artist could go in. Norman is very modest about his talents, and has a great dislike for personal appearances although he is one of the most popular singers in the state. In private life he is manager of one of the largest printing establishments in Salt Lake City — and only twenty-eight. Norman Mork J . D. OF Spokane wanted a picture of Jerome De Borde. Weren't you glad to see his and Henry's pictures, Jay Dee, on page 114 in November Radio Digest? M, .ARCELLA hears all. tells all.
