TOM SULLIVAN DEFEATS
CLEVER YOUNG CHOYNSKI

Tom Sullivan won the so-called
amateur lightweight boxing cham
pionship from Young Choynsld last
night after a sensational four-round
bout at Woodward's Pavilion. Choyn-
ski had a broken hand reset at the
Receiving Hospital after the fight.
This accident probably had some
bearing on the outcome.
Sullivan scored three knockdowns
in the first round with straight
rights. Choynsh was groggy, but he
came back with right swing to Sui
livans jaw. which dazed him. Sulli-
van recovered and outpointed his op-
ponent.
Harry Tenny knocked out Barney
Driscon in the third round of their
bout. Driscoll went down three times,
twice for the count of nine. The last
time he was unable to respond.
Danny Murphy secured the decision
over Al Burns in four rounds; Jack
Conroy knocked out Jack Corrigan in
one round. Jack Brown defeated Jim
Kane, Jack Rodney beat Young OTIS,
and Gus Roster beat Bill Johnson.
