With the addition of taped sound effects and a breathless, leather-swinging commentary by Sportscaster Guy Le-Bow, Woroner packaged the simulated matches into a 16-week radio series and billed it as the All-Time Heavyweight Tournament and Championship Fight. Few radio men gave the series much of a chance. They obviously failed to consider all the fans who jaw endlessly about sports in taverns and barbershops.

Baker--chalk skin set off beneath dull orange hair, black motorcycle jacket, high heeled boots and fingers almost hidden in silver and gold rings. Clapton in blue velvet pants, white silk socks and patent leather buckle shoes. Brocaded vest and fingernails longer than a Japanese dowager's. At the other end of the room was Bruce, sullen and bored. He sat with his stubby fingers nervously drumming the edge of the chair. Alligator boots, knee-length leather riding jacket. Compressed nervous energy. Despite the awkwardness...
