SYNOP,S1S
Barbra Baxter, . a federal detec-
tive, catches Tack Fairfax bootleg-
ging, bact,. Bill :,Grimm, althouQ7l 7i'is
enemy, saves him from being jailed,
Fairfax continues to hound him,
and Pill becomes a fighter in New
'York, knocking out Fairfax's nian.
Pansy Pilkingion, a friend of Bill's,
is finding New York a hard place to
make a stage success. Bill is
knocked cold by Knockout Seeley in
one round.
As, busted as the Ten Command,
meets and as low as a caterpillar's
tummy I went back to my taxicab,
where I now figured I belonged.
Having reached this "decision .af•
ter plenty of due consideration, I
decided to tell Barbara Baxter,
"Just what caused you to reach
the -conclusion that boxing is not
your forte?": she asks me, with a
odd look. "I can tolerate and.sym-
pathize. with losers, but not with
quitters!"
Feeling in the mood to devour a
panther, .1 went, to Pansy Picking -
tan 'for comfort:
However,,, when 1•' wheeled my
taxi, around to Pansy's I got quite a
shock to find : no, lest' than Jack
Fairfax leaving:
"Well, if you want to pick up a
few pennies you can drive me to
my hotel," he says, and then adds
with my right eye if this trap was
urs and"—
'' I was interrupted by a glass fall-
ing out of her hand and splintering
in the, sink, darn it^ -just when I
refight have got -somewhere! I
picked oat .the pieties so's Barbara
wouldn't cut her little angers, and
I proceeded to cut one of niy own.
It was only a scratch, but she made
a big to-do over it, peroxide and
iodine flowing like water:
"Have you ever thought of get-
ting married, Barbara?" l says, in ;t.
offhand way.
"Er how is Pansy?. Rave you
seen her lately?" she asks me ,
quickly; crimson from neck to fora -
head.
I, was glad at that point to .hur-
riedly change the 'subject by tell-
ing Barbara I'd made up my mind
to return to the ring.
Once rd let the feline; out of the
sack, I plunged ahead and - ex -
platted how and . why I'd . reached
that decision atter my battle with
myself the night before.
"Bill, if you fight Keeley the
way you've just talked to me you
cannot lose!" she cries.
And my spirits, easily raised or
lowered, instantly topped all alti-
tude
ltitude records, Barbara was for me,
and. I was positive I'd lay Knockout
Keeley like a carpet!
Well, Butch Ford and Left Hook " -
-O'Brien was overjoyed at my re-
turn to the gentle art ofpunching
heads, but my ambitious plane to
