Rumor mill buzzes with Biddeford plans and April fool drift
City Square chatter hints at promoter Dave Silverman eyeing Arlington heavyweight Tom McNeeley for a Biddeford bout against Ingemar Johansson with a title shot likely by year end.

The piece closes with a tongue in cheek April fool gag and a nostalgic trip to 1933 bowling league finishes at Pastime lanes with 15 cent strings and pin boys.
