Ohio State Starts Training; City Lacquer
Griffin Scores Victory Over Zulu In Is Rounds
Fl Worth Bantam Star Outboxes Veteran Ringster

Anectsd Of him and all Of the fans
who had counted upon the rugged
/ veteran to mix matters from the first
/ bell were not disappointed
They were favorahly surprised.
/ however, by his good form, n the
man who hurdled the ropes after
receiving the decision WAS one
vastly different from the ap-
parenfly Winded rinENter who
faced Tommy Nelson and was
beaten In nine rounds last spring.
1Iuskopf brought into play every
ounce Of ring Eeneralship accu-
mulated in years OF boxing within
the hemR bound arena and kept
the bugs upon their toes by his
willingness 10 mix matters at all
times His straight left never
failed to find the mark IL seemed
shapiro, outboNed and Outhlt took
I his medicine gamely. The cOnquerOr
I Of Eddie HanlOn proved the fighting
spirit that was IN him when he
waded through nine and Oue-half
rounds OF the hardest fighting he has
ever experienced
BAT" came back and fought hard
His celebrated right uppercur lacked
The proper judgment OF distance.
while his left lab was not only not
the mark every time by the more
singing southnaW OF his rival Sha-
piro showed some pretty footWorl<
and never failed 20 welcome q slug
straight let's so unbalanced him that
he could do no more than use his
right hand in a defensive fashion and
not as an aggressive measure His
left lead to the body was blocked
early and during the latter part Of
the contest his only effective efforts
was stiff left hook.
One Verdict Was Unpopular.
Referees Morrison's decision was
we'll received. IL being the only one
reasonable under the circumstance
Shapiro has asked for a return en-
gagement against Muskopf and the
future. although Dutch" Crozier IS
reported as being anxious to take on
the hard-hittlnE shops mixer
sergt- Morrison rendered the
decisions in the other two pre-
iiminury contests in his usual
conscientious manner and while
one was unpopular with the ma
iority Of the crowd the other
was well received and both re-
Elected the earnest intentions OF
the referee. In the first hOut
Kid Mortio outhoIed and out
punched the serappy Kid Hack
ley OF the navy In four rounds
HuckleV was oufnOimfcd from the
first bell, but he came back and
fought EamelV after receiving
severe punishment Morffo showed
his usual good FORM but eE-
hfbffed n weakness OF shaping
be eliminated
He used this slap to the body quite
a number OF times and Il had little
or no effect.
in the second bout the clever
Jimmy Tender boxed Battling Chico
again and the boys put up rafting
affair. Tender outhoEed his rangier
rival for three rounds. but in the
fourth was hanging on and did little
but defend himself. The decision was
given to Chico. but the majority OF
the fans thought 90 should have been
a draw. It is a fact that there would
have been mighty little leading IN the
first three rounds had It not been for
the continual aggressiveness Of Ten
der, and it seems only fair that he
should have received draw IN con
sideraEon Of -this creditable work [
Chico finished strong and would have
won on knockout in the next round I
but Il must be remembered that mis-
opponent carried the fight in the
early stauZas and in this way he
earned the approval Of the fans
