Is SopseAGoose ?
Billy Soose, ex-Lion champion
and uncrowned middleweight
.king, is reported to be again get
ting -the runaround in his quest
for a title bout with Ken .Overlin.
Soose Still
Gets Runaround
The mystery of “whom does a
fighter have to beat before he
gets a crack at the title” is still
an unsolved problem to Billy
Soose, State’s contribution to the
pugilistic world.
After trouncing Ernie Vigh'in
their second bout in New York
two weeks ago, Soose was prom
ised a shot at titleholder Ken
Overlin sometime in May. Hav
ing beaten both Overlin and
Tony Zale, another claimant, in
previous matches, th? Farrel
lad’s ambition of . annexing .the
world’s-.middleweight crown was
apparently close to realization.
But word now comes from
New York that the boxing czar,
Mike Jacobs, has different plans
afoot, and none of them include
Billy, Instead, it appears that
Tami Mauriello, • who knocked
out Steve Belloise - in the first
round last week, will get a shot
at Overlin in the near future. It’s
the- same Mauriello who was
soundly trounced by Soose in his
New York- debut two months ago.
If the rumor is true, Billy
Soose will keep running around
in circles- till he retires, the un
crowned champion of his divi
sion.
