Walker Meets
Defeat I'm Bout
With Civic
pittsburgh Star Upsets
Dope by Winning From
pride of Wall Street"
By Jack Masters

h The Idol has fallen. Archie Walker,
.ss Pastime A. c., who has reigned
=. the various divisions of amateur
.,ers for the past Ave years, and now
s ,Ias the lightweight championship of
{. state, was beaten every second Of
!, way in a four ound bout st the
..sreity tournament in Madison Square
arden tonight. Jack zivic, of Pitts
,.r-b a member OF the y. S. Olympic
.s.g. turned the trick which upset the
,"s7 3.~e and in doing so he gave Archie the
.eat artistic trimming the champion
a "a ever received.
New York boys scored victories in
,,.r nj the eight classes. Pittsburgh
zee second, with three victories, and
os;iadelphia was third, with one. The
soston team did not score.
1 The "Pride Of Wall Street" was help
.s, before the attack of the Pitts
S,rgber. and after the second round.
-spb lett TO the jaw sent Archie to
Ss canvas. the issue was never in
.,b.. except 10 the stern judges who
.sae the visitor go an extra round to
.sks sure their eyes were not deceiv-
i !ag sNe-A'
Il was almost criminal to order an
,.Ier rouno, so cleanly did Zivic show
4 Il, suueriority over the local man, but
!. WIS done and the Pittsburgher nearly
.ut Archie away in his anxiety to get
tss consideration he deserved from the
4 officials.
Pair Gets Big Ovation
The pair got g great ovation as they
sruated off in the feature contest.
] Ziyc was equally as impressive in the
mstter OF ply, iQue. and both appeared
. be fit for a hard battle. The first
,ound was about even, both men slip
1ing often and watching warily as they
5icked their openings.
Ziyic started the second with rush
and kept on top of mis- man all the way.
He had no trouble landing and showed
particular disrespect for Wolker s
Jaw.
The champion was dazed at the au-
lac ty Of Zlvic, and he was unable to
oFer sufficient resistance. Jack kept
lsmmering away, using both hands,
and after a scrimmage near Walkers
corner d left swing caught Archie flush
% the jaw and he crumb bled to the
anyas with q sickly grin upon his
4 0!e00y FEATURES.
Smashing rights and lefts greeted
he local boy as he came up for the
Aird round, and though he covered and
/ he other, Zivic followed relentlessly,
md just before the bell he again sent
Walker sprawling to the floor.
It was here that the judges made
themselves appear ridiculous by dis
gseing upon q winner, and although
L seemed unfair to ZivicA= he went
lout his task in most approved man
sr. and after the extra round the
4 iicials made Jack happy.
d livic had Walker mighty close to a
\ D. in the last stanza, and would
q he put the sleep punch over had the
i aQt gone on few more rounds. Zlvlc
! vas 50 elated at his victory that he
forgot his dignity and somersaulted
MS way 70 the losers corner to shake
hands.
The Pittsburgh star had little
trouble subduing J. Guinan, of Phila-
delphia, in the final of the lightweight
class about an hour later. The Sleepy
| City entry was no set-up and he could
AXE it without wincing, but he was no
match for Zivic, who used lightning
eft to advantage throughout.
\ Gordon Munce, Pastime A c., the
state heavyweight champion, won the
rst final bout when he aoored John
aaherty, of Pittsburgh, with a right
wing to the face in the second round.
a he local lad completely outclassed
sherty, who bled copiously after the
irst blow Munce put over. 1t was a
Ficked left to the nose, and it was
earned afterward that the member
vas fractured.
Munce was smeared with gore from
lead to ankles as result of Flaherty's
mary, and the referee humanely
4opped what really would have been
daughter.
/ Large Crowd on Hand
i The promise Of fifteen bouts drew a
arger crowd than was present at the
opening Of the tournament Wednesday
evening. At $3.50 it was estimated that
@eVO were on hand.
/ Referee Tommy Smith appeared to
aaye an aversion to Pittsburghers and
ne hrst melee of the evening went to
Wills Singer, the 115-pound New York
Sate champion. Chris DeMareo, OF
Ae Smoky City team, was on the
9Sers end after having battled four
Iaands with the local boy.
Singer held often and long and
2hded only two clean blows during the
,aslre twelve minutes of fighting. De-
marco was by far the cleaner fighter
y Inc tive, but he was slow to follow
Y the openings.
Frank Wallace, a Boston Irishman,
,ad Louis GugLelmini, of the Pastime
4 W this city, were the next pair to
9ee9fate the ring. The italian had a
Eeat right, when it landed, and he
managed to connect in about one out
y every ten starts, which was ample
,nrIng disaster to the beaneater.
"snaee needed lots of repairing after
@gls finished with him.
lie hooing-and most every one was
9g9g it--received added impetus after
sUs bout when Referee Smith gave
'sy to Eddie Forbes Smith was taken
w because the Pittsburgh boxers
'sged a complaint of discrimination.
