# Page Content Summary This page contains story prose from a pulp fiction narrative titled "Date with the Canvas" (page 61). The visible text describes a boxing-related plot involving characters named Buddy, Jimmy, and a manager named Moe Ryan, discussing Jimmy's upcoming fight against someone named Slatterty and his involvement with "the mob." The right half of the page is devoted to period advertisements, including Audels Carpenters and Builders Guides (a four-volume set), a "Song Poems Wanted" notice from Vanderbilt Music Studios, a "Was Deafened" testimonial ad for an ear device, and an eye-glasses advertisement offering frames "as low as $2.95."

I beat Slatterty and I’m right in there.” Buddy stared at him. He was going to say, “You haven’t a prayer.” But Jim- my’s eyes were glowing. An electric faith seemed to vibrate in him. Jimmy believed in himself! Maybe he was wrong in his judgment of Jimmy’s chances. Buddy shrugged. Buddy took one day off, then he came back to work out with Jimmy at Still- man’s. It was the first time since Bud- dy’s return to the city that he’d seen Jim- my box. The last time he’d seen him, he’d seen him through the worshipful eyes of a young brother. And Jimmy had been in his prime: But three years could put @ nice nick into a man’s prime. Buddy, himself, boxed a brace of rounds with Jimmy. He had to do his best to keep him from looking bad. He understood now why Jimmy was so anxious to get out of it all and into the army. Bullets probably seemed a lot less painful than rights and lefts that flew out of nowhere to tag your schnozzo. Buddy said to Moe, “Twenty-eight’s not old for a fighter.” Manager Moe Ryan spoke quietly, pat- ting his balloon waistline. “Fighting’s like a fire in you. After a while, it dies down.” “Slatterty will butcher Jimmy,” Buddy pleaded. “What can we do?” It seemed almost funny to him now that the money boys, just to play it safe, thought it necessary to make a deal with Jimmy. Moe nodded. “There’s only one thing we can do. See he’s in helluve good shape. Slatterty has had twelve kayoes in a rew.” Buddy saw Jimmy after the shower. Jimmy seemed eager, excited. “I spoke to the mob,” he said. “I talked to ’em. I laid it right out plain. I told them I was taking Slatterty on the up-and-up.” Buddy held his breath. Jimmy went on, “They took it easy. They said okay. For me to forget it. They’re really not bad guys.” No, not bad guys, thought Buddy. They'd probably decided to let nature take its course!
