	Babe Verila was the one of the subjects of the "Making the Grade" article in THE RING, April 1940, page 25, by Eddie Borden. The article, however, contains inaccurate personal information. He was not ~~Panimaniam~~, but was indeed part Cuban, which is why he had the boxing name "The Cuban Express." His father was from Cuba and his mother was "Portuguese" from the Cape Verde Islands, a portuguese colony at that time.

His father was from Cuba and his mother was "Portuguese" from the Cape Verde Islands, a portuguese colony at that time.

	According to this article, "He got into the fight game because he couldn't find work on the farm in Oklahoma, where he supported his two brothers and sisters after his parents had died. However, he was actually born in Chicago and was not from Oklahoma. His parents died when he was 13 years of age, but he had no siblings. The article says that when work on the farm became slack, he went to town daily looking for other employment, but without result. Then he saw some amateurs training for an appearance in an Oklahoma tourney and he decided to do the mitts and practice with them. He became proficient and entered the game, but as a pro. He never was an amateur fighter. He got five dollars for his first bout and has been going strongly ever since. It isn't clear if Verila fought professionally in Oklahoma before coming to New England.
