Sloane snarled: "Well Hooligan, you asked for it. Here's where I head you for a hospital!' He shifted from the scissors to a spread eagle, and licked his chops as he jammed the pressure on his toe hold. Jimmy's face twisted. Breath hissed through clenched teeth. He pounded the mat and writhed. Hurricane Sloane chuckled. "Nothing in the rules against a man quitting." The kid tensed. "I'll quit--when your shoulders are glued to the mat!" Again the champ shifted, forcing Jimmy flat on his stomach with a half nelson and hammerlock. He sat on the kid's back and secured a crab, the double toe hold. Raising himself, Sloane dug his heels in the canvas and threw everything into a vicious rowing movement. Jimmy groaned. The crowd silenced. For the kingpin's great muscles were bulging and his little eyes gleamed with a killer's intensity. Heather Wayne was at the ring. "Stop it!" she cried. "Oh Jimmy, please, please quit. You shouldn't have gone on with a broken foot. He'll cripple you for life!"------
Excerpts from "The Determination Kid" Ace Sports pulp circa 1935. One hundred and twentyseven pages of pre-war sports action all for a thin dime. I'm not even going to talk about the ad sections that just will not stop. I think "G-8 and his Battle Aces" vol 20 April 1940 is next on the stack, the lead story "Wings of the Dragon Lord" looks pretty great.
