But Tony Galento, the Orange, N. J., barman, is most relaxed with a bung-starter in his hairy paw. For a week before last week's fight he smoked a dozen big black cheroots a day, drank two or three beers after workouts, did road work nights until his wife came down from Orange and saw to it that he got some sober rest...
