Financially the Eagle took the most terrible beating. The Guild's most effective strike activity was a campaign to cut Eagle advertising, conducted with all the originality the newspapermen could give it. Pickets in full dress stalked before Manhattan theatres advertising in the Eagle, a hairy "gorilla" picketed a beauty shop until its distressed owner got an injunction against such tactics. Picketing of Brooklyn and Manhattan stores, plus a "consumers campaign" against national advertisers, undoubtedly cost the Eagle most of the 184,000 lines of advertising it dropped in the past three weeks...

The Eagle, first major New York City paper to be struck by the Guild, has been attacked not only frontally by aggressive picketing, but on the flank by a Guild campaign directed at Eagle advertisers.

A third, also in the parade, was an Arizona cattleman named Mark Clemens, who had put up the cash to buy Promoter Johnson's string of broncos, steers and wild cows, and to send "Gorilla" Mike Hastings scouring the West for more. Scout Hastings was visibly pleased last week with one of his most celebrated finds, a bucking horse named Hell's Angel. So vicious that in five years no one has ridden him the prescribed ten seconds at the garden, Hell...
Middleweights fight at 160 Ibs. and have two current champions. French Marcel Thil, who won the title from Gorilla Jones five years ago on a foul, is recognized by the International Boxing Union, but the New York State Athletic Commission, and the National Boxing Association recognize Tacoma's Freddy Steele. This dilemma Promoter Jacobs resolved to his satisfaction. He imported Champion Thil, bullnecked, bulging-shouldered athletic oldster of 33, bald on his head but well furred on chest and back. By matching him not against Champion Steele but against the No.1 U. S. challenger, San Francisco's Fred...
