# Page 108 of 12 Sports Aces This page contains story prose from a boxing narrative titled "Childless Wives Who Wish Babies!" (the actual story appears to be about boxing, not the advertisement headline). The visible text describes Danny, a boxer, training in a barn and then competing in an exhibition match against Sergeant Joe Bronson at an inter-camp event. After two rounds of friendly sparring, soldiers in the audience begin heckling Bronson, which angers him. In the third round, Bronson throws a powerful punch that sends Danny flying backward. The page is also crowded with period advertisements for dentures, binoculars, dresses, and health products typical of early pulp magazines.

The gloves were pillows and they stepped around fast, Danny not try- ing hard, just getting back his timing. They stepped around fast, and at the end of the workout Danny wasn’t breathing hard. “I’m rusty,” Danny said, “but ?m in good shape, I don’t want to look too bad in front of those soldiers. I’ll probably be at that camp myself in a few months and I want them to give me a glad hand, ae a boot.” A week later he stepped into a eis shift ring with Joe Bronson. There had been a dozen inter-camp bouts and this was the final one, an exhibition. Bronson shook hands. He said, “I got a lot of weight on you, Danny. I won’t be trying for a knockout. But let’s give ’em some fancy action, hey?” “Y’'m with you,” Danny said. They went out there and stepped around fast and fancy, shooting a lot of left hands. Danny thought it was great fun to be in there again, even though it was- n’t serious and no decision was even to be made on this bout. They finished two rounds and then they heard a few hoos from the audience. It seemed that Joe Bronson was a sergeant and the boys be- gan to pan him. “Hey, Sarge,” they yelled, “you scared of that shrimp in there? We thought you had a punch. Oh, you cream puff.” Sergeant Bronson began to get a little red around the ears. He didn’t like the ribbing and Danny did not blame him. The sergeant had a reputation to uphold. They went out for the third and final round and Danny was prepared to box once more. He stepped in, shooting out the left hand and Bronson dug in close. Bronson threw a punch from his shoe- tops and Danny went three feet off the oor and dug a divot in the canvas with his chin. | He got up at seven and Bronson moved in and clinched. “Sorry, Danny boy,” Bronson said, “but I had to do that or these lugs woulda run me outa camp. You know how it is.” “Sure,” Danny said politely. “I under- stand.” Gomichooks (EF)
