The -Harlem Hurricane
WHAT HAS HAPPENED: Billy Alien j
signs up Marty Bel!, whom we nickname
the Harlem Hurricane, as an addition to'
his stable of boxers, and turns him over’
to me for training. I work with him a
couple of months, and finally we get a
fight for him with Wally Palmer, con
sidered ti : best heavyweight in Harlem
The Hurricane vanquishes the Wildcat
in six rounds, and a month later defeats
Chubby Cutler, leading Kansas City con
tender.
His inspiration, as you might say. Is
a girl named Martha Taylor, a very fine
young lady who is rooting for him to
come through ij a big way.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY:
CHAPTER V
After the Hurricane's victory over
Chubby Cutler, it seamed as though
nothing at all could stop him. His
heart was in the game and he was
eager and willing to learn all Billy
Allen and I had to teach him. We
got along splendidly together, and
although he stayed out a little too
late occasionally when he went to
call on Martha Taylor, I could for
give him for that because I knew
that if I'd been him, I probably
would have done the same thing
myself.
I had no objection to letting him
see Martha all he wanted; she not
only kept him out of speakeasies
and street brawls, but she also had
a good effect upon him—she fired
the spark of ambition in him ar.d
made him work all the harder.
She was a sort o. guest of honor
at every bout he fought in Harlem
after that, and it was really sur
prising to notice how much her
rooting for him meant. It spruced
him up in the middle of many a
tough battle; made him go in there
and give the best that was in him
every . ime.
Martha, indirectly, was respons
ible for not a small share of the
Hurrican victories. I don’t mean
that she climbed up in the ring
and kissed him or gave him a pep
talk or anything dramatic like that,
but the thought of her spurred
him on many a time when things
looked almost hopeless.
There was the Jackie Kid Long
fight, for instance. The K’d was
really good; he tied the Hurricane
up in knots during the first four
rounds, and then proceeded to un
tie him in the fifth with slashing
uppercuts that started from the
canvas. At the end of the sixth,
my boy was almost out on his feet,
and I had to almost drag him to
his corner.
1 drenchea him thoroughly in
water and gave him a smell of the
salts. He woke up gradually, shak
ing his head.
“Buck up, Kid,” I whispered to
him. “You don't want to look bad
before Martha, do you? Come on,
here's your chance; this Kid thinks
you’re tired. Show him the stuff
you've got in you—and show
Martha.’’
The gong sounded for the next
round. The Hurricane didn't dash
out wildly, but started in cautious
ly, backing away when he got into
danger. The Kid followed him
closely, shooting his left constant
ly for the Hurricane’s head. He
semed to get impatient as my
charge kept back-pedaling and fi
nally tore into him, slashing away
with both hands. The Hurricane
ducked, shook him with a hard
right, then suddenly went into re
verse again. He was playing a
cagey game now—a waiting game.
The Kid bore down on him—and
suddenly the Hurricane slipped. The
ring wasn't properly resined. In
stantly the Kid reached out and
crashed a savage left hook to the
head that tumbled the Hurricane
back into his comer, on his knees.
He drew himself up by the ropes
but the Kid 'as upon him like a

“My boy blasted a left hook
square to the jaw ”
blood-mad tiger, shooting both
hands to his bobbing head.
How much longer could the Hur
ricane last'* I wondered. He was
trapped in his own corner now,
swaying on the ropes, head down
and arms bent f> ound his jaw,
blocking and riding his opponent's
pufiches. Then the Kid must have
decided to finish my boy off. He
cracked a straight right to the
jaw, the Hurricane's head flew back,
blcod spattered, and right then
something happened to the Hurri
cane.
Almost wild with fury, he forced
his way from the corner with a
savage left hook that bent into the
ribs of the Kid, and then continued
to batter him around the ring, put
ting every bit of his strength be
hind his blows. He ripped out a
desperate right and crossed with
a hard left to the face. Why the
Kid didn't go down then was more
than I could see.
But it wasn't long before he did
do down. He gasped and swayed
now, and my boy blasted a left
hook to nis jaw. sending blood
spraying to the canvas. When the
Kid looked up again, all sanity was
gone from his glassy eyes. He tore
in, blood rushing now from his
mouth, but the Hurricane simply
laughed at him and went in to
meet him, smashing a terrific left
hook square to his Jaw.
The Kid hit the canvas and never
twitched until, after the referee had
tolled off the count, somebody pour
ed a bucket of water over him.
That wasn’t the only battle in
which the thcught of Martha played
an important part in squeezing out
a victory for the Hurricane. During
the first six months he fought in
Harlem, he defeated six opponents,
all good men, and defeated them
by decisive margins. It looked as
though he was cutting a straight
swath for himself through the
heavyweight division.
The seventh fight was a tough
one for the Hurricane. He had
wiped up most of the Harlem op
position, but with the exception of
Chubby Cutler, the Kansas City
champ, he hadn’t tackled any of
the outside material. Billy was get
ting anxious to see how he would
stand the test against heavies who
were really in the running, so he
Anally, managed to arrange a ten
round affair with Chuck Holt, a
husky young white boy who, after
coming out on top in the heavy
weight division of the Golden
Gloves amateur tournament, had
turned professional.
Holt was considered by most of
the New York sports scribes as one
of the foremost contenders for the
heavyweight crown of hie world. He
had come out first in the lengthy
eliminations of the Golden Gloves
tournament had shown excellent
form in reaching the semi-finals of
the Olympic tryouts, and seemed
to be headed straight for the
heights.
The Hurricane was a little wor
ried about the forthcoming battle
with Chuck, and he had every rea
son to be. The white boy was tall
and rangy and heavy; he knew the
fight game from the bottom up,
and his square, lieavy-s.?t jaw
showed great ruggedness and de
termination. He was practically un
defeated, having gone through the
tournament and the Olympic trials
without a single setback until a
huge and pugnacious Westerner
had eliminated him in the semi
finals.
“Don’t get worried about Chuck,”
I told my boy. “Hes just an ordi
nary human being like yourself;
if you train and go in there de
termined to give everything you’ve
got, you’ve got him licked almost
before you start."
He thought about what I had
