...Torres battle Willie Pastrano for the light-heavyweight championship in a rare doubleheader. Like Paret, Stable was a Cuban, and the chants started-"Sta-ble! Stable! Sta-ble!"-as soon as the challenger clambered into the ring. Emile got mostly boos except from ringside, where Mama Emelda Griffith and Cousin Bernie led the cheers. "The best, the best, the best!" shouted Bernie, as Griffith buckled Stable's knees with a right cross in the very first round.

New York subway policeman, and Mama is 5 ft. 11 in.; to all but their closest friends they live "somewhere in upper Manhattan," and their phone number is unlisted. All of Lew's letters are screened by his coach, and sportswriters are required to submit questions in writing-a procedure that has led some to suggest nastily that Donahue is really John Alden in disguise.
