Silver Gloves Boxing Tourney

Here he is, folks. During the day, he's William Bendix, the movie star. But every Sunday night for the last 52 weeks, he's been the star of the life of Riley. Now we're going to hear a few words from this one-year-old radio star.

Say something, Bill. Da-da! Don't do that, doc! The American Meat Institute presents the life of Riley with William Bendix as Riley. The meat people of America, providing a great food for a great nation. 5 million farmers and ranchers raising fine meat animals.

600,000 men and women in more than 3,500 meat packing plants. 400,000 meat retailers. All doing their level best to fill your daily needs. And now on behalf of all these, the American Meat Institute brings you the life of Riley. Like most fathers Chester A. Riley, California war worker is full of pride in his son, Jr., and never seems to learn that pride goes before a fall.

Right now Riley's out of the game. He wants Jr. to enter the Silver Glove Amateur Contest in his out-of-the-back yard, trying to sell Jr. the ideas. Listen. But, Pa, but I don't think I box good enough to be in the Silver Glove's content.

Oh, don't be so modest, Jr. Let me be the one whose mother. With the benefit of my training, You can't possibly lose. And don't forget, you'll be wearing the colors of the BPLA. The BPLA, Poth?

Well, sure, my club, the Brooklyn Patriots of Los Angeles. All the social and athletic clubs are entering some kid. It's for charity. And the BPLA is counting on you. Yeah, and the referee will be counting over me.

No, no, he won't, Junior. I happen to know the referee, Mozzie Donovan, and junior he can't count up the pen. Besides, I'm your manager, your trainer, your sparring partner, and your father. And all four of us say you can't lose.
