SUM LACING
Fight Fans Disagree, How
ever, Over Result of
Raymond-Harba Mill
CURTAIN DOWN
ON BOXING GAME

Wilmington's sporting fraternity
we're all agog thi smorning. that is
those who attended the 81. Hedwig's
A. A. smoker in Modjeska Hall last
night were. Calls on the telephone
came 10 the Office galore. and there
were personal visits also concerning
decision in two OF the bouts on the
card, the windup between Johnny
Horba and Ralph Raymond. and the
semi windup between Kid Sum and
George Morrow. To be fair in the
matter The Evening Journal got In
touch with several prominent fans
and secured their opinions OF both
bouts.
Opinions we're somewhat divided
on the Raymond -Horba fracas. but
most OF those interviewed were en-
lphatic in their statements that
lGeorgie Morrow defeated Kid Sum.
In nearly every instance whore the
luuestion was put the reply came that
Morrow won the frst hve rounds.
dominion was divided as 10 the sixth.
Several fans called voluntarily TO
! offer their decisions. most OF them
wishing II 10 be made plain that they
wanted 10 reverse the verdicts as
iouoted in another paper.
Johnny Horba won all the way, MS
hackers say, and some OF them go
80 far az 70 predict that In a ten
round bout Raymond would not be
able TO stay the limit with the wal
! loper from out In Browntown. Here
are some OF the opinions gathered
DR.. Stanley Szypkowski-l have
followed boxing for twenty years and
want 10 say that Johnny Horba
gave Ralph Raymond as clean a
! licking last night as any one would
want 10 see. Horba hit much harder
, and cut open Raymond's eye. ! don't

. seven or eight jabs during the entire

RAYMOND. I believe. had a shade the
better OF the argument. for most Of
the blows that the audience thought
Horba was landing solidly were hit
ting Raymond's gloves. But ahoul
the Morrow-Sunn bout, DO not be-
iieve there is any doubt that Morrow
won. and won cleanly He had a de-
, cided advantage in the first five
rounds, while SUM, due to a spurt
won the sixth by a shade.
