II b. A. RRIDGEWArER


Terry Long, the one time light
weight kayo king OF Tulsa. sayed
himself from eight rounds of tor
men. and torture when he broke a
bone In his right hand in the sec
ond round Of a scheduled l0-round
bout with frankie Tucker.
Tucker jabbed ana crossed Long
mercucssly throughout the two
rounds Terry swinging viciously
but wild IN the meantime In an ef-
fort t1 connect with Frankic's Jaw.
Durlrg the first round he smashed
his f.C straight into. Terry's nose
and started the blood flowing free
y and In the second he continued
pepp,riug Longs face with wasp
htc blows until IL was as red as
beef. Had the bout continued
Turkcf would have undoubtedly
would have made life miserable for
his opponent, unless one of Terry's
terrific swings had found its mark.
Long made known to the referee
the injury 10 his hand after the
elosc ot the second round, and as ne
wa unable 70 start the third
Tucker was credited with a technl-
cal knockout by Referee Bobby
Burns.
Tucker Looks Better.
when Tucker boxed few weeks
ago with Jack Hurley he won by a
wide margin on points, but de-
pended almost entirely on a sting
ing left jab For all the service It
rendered that night his right might
az well have been In a cast and
sling. Last night, however, in the
brief two rounds with Long, Tucker
showed that he had a right and
could use It. lie still relied on the
left 90 carry most OF the load, but
two or three times he sent II fast
travelling right hook against his
opponents head. It made Tucker
look much better. With the fiasny
left playing it's customary tune on a
foes face and steaming right oc-
casion8lly slipping over, Tucker
would be a dangerous opponent for
nearly any lad his weight.
IL was very evident that Long waa
not In condition for hard 10
round bout He certainly was in
no condition TO face Tucker over
that route, and while he might have
lasted 1t out the injury 10 his hand
undoubtedly saved him a lot OF
punishment.
Scmiwlndup "A Bloomcr.
Tho semiWindup also proved "a dis
appointment. In the first place Joe
Coleman Of Bartlesvilc failed to ap-
pear, Il was announced, and for tho
S-round bout in which he was to
meet Mike Dudley, a contest between
Ted Brown of Sand Springs and Pat
Kirkpatrick Of Wichita was sub
stituted. This also was to go eight
rounds, but Brown took the count o.
10 while on his knees after being
sent through the ropes by left lab
that caught him on the chin. Brown
who fought six hard rounds with
Ace Johnson at Convention hall last
Friday nigbt, evidently was still
feeling the affects OF that battle. for
he showed none OF his usual ag-
gressiveness. In the two and a half
rounds the bout laste1 Brown didn't
hit Kirkpatrick one good blow. The
wichita lad kept right after his op-
ponent and showed some cleverness
with his left. He probably will get
more action as a preliminary boy.
