mated in Semi-F inal--
Decision Kissed
BY A. G. Cavagnaro


F. B. Cassidy. Of the 46th Aero
Squad, Mineola, holder of the 135-
pound title, was eliminated by San
Mosberg, unattached, in semifnal
bout in the New York State boxing
championships, held at tho Manhattan
Casino last night. The decision OF the
two judges, J. +. Conlon and j. j..
O'Brien, failed 10 meet with the APP
proval of the $500 spectators, who
Missed the verdict.
According 20 several veteran fight
fans, Cassidy should have been de-
clared the winner az the end OF the
three rounds. He forced matters and
landed often and hard, but he failed
20 show az his best because Of the per
sistency of Mosberg IN clInchlng at
every opportunity. Cassidy eventually
had to push his opponent away from
him.
Cassidy aggressive
Cassidy pressed matters from the be-
ginning. A forecast Of what was 70 be
expected came in the first round, when
each boxer scored a knockdown. Cas-
sidy staggered his opponent in the lat
ter's corner with a sharp right to the
Jaw. Soon after Mosberg evened mat
ters when he crashed home hard
right hook 10 the jaw, Cassidy going
down on all fours. He was up IN a
minute, but was temporarily stunned.
As the round ended Cassidy added 10
his points by sending Mosberg back
on his heels.
The second and third rounds were
marred through the holding tactics OF
| Mosberg. When either boy landed q
punch Mosberg would invariably grasp
! his opponent. Both boxers landed hard
and often, Cassidy the more frequent
| ly, but in the judgment of the two
! Judges Mosberg was entitled TO the
I honors.
The only other defending champion,
! Irving Jampol, Bronxdale A. c., was de-
: posed when he was beaten by Eddie
Mirman, Paulist A. c., in semi-tinal
bout of the 115-pound division. Mir
/ man showed himself TO be cool and
/ clever boxer and effective at intightlng.
/ Jsmpol missed often through his rivals
( clever ducking, and the only round to
! his credit was the third, when Mir
man tired slightly.
The army athletic equipment fund
/ was materially aided by collection OF
! S535.s9. This hearty response TO the
1 good cause was brought about through
an appeal by ex-Judge jeremiah 7. Ma
