BY LOUIS n. JAFTE


ible to compete for the different
Middle Atlantic States boxing cham
pionships Of the Amateur Athletic
Union, which will be decided in seven
classes at the Olympia tomorrow night.
Preliminary matches were held last
night. and out Of a total Of thirty. 1.-TWO
contests twenty-five resulted in knock.
outs.
The quickest knockout Of the evening
was scored by Sam Blackiston, Curtis
star. when he dropped Paul Lonsua. of
Villanova, for the count three different
times, ending the set.to after twenty.
seven seconds. This was the second K.
o. BY Blackiston. who also knocked out
Manuel Trachtenbers, Of Penn, IN the
second round.
Blackiston looms a. q favorite to be-
come dual champion, having won his
preliminary matches in the welterweight
and middleweight classes.
The biggest surprise Of the tourney
occurred in the lightweight class, when
Joe Guinan, the 1921 titleholder, was
eliminated after three hurricane rounds
by Johnny Scott, Of Kayoula. Guinan
made a great rally the latter part Of
the last round. but SCOTS early ad-
vantage enabled him to keep in the
running for the championship.
Other knockouts registered inside Of
a minute were scored by William Har.
kins, Of Kayoula. over Jimmy Engle. Of
st. Gregory's. in forty seconds; 9. p.
90
McGuigan. Delmar. thirty one seconds,
and William Sheeran. West Philadel-
phia, over Frank Calderbank. unat-
tached, forty -four seconds.
In addition to the numerous knock.
outs. some rather nifty boxing also was
put on. 1t was necessary for James
Sellers to 90 an extra round before he
was decided winner over Mickey Mar
tell. Joe Rice. q Shanahan lad. had
to extend himself to win from club
mate and pal Johnny Stevens. Rice's
brother Charley, also entered in the
featherweight class, knocked out Frank
Fulginita.
There is a possibility Of brother
as both Charley and Joe Rice ad-
vanced into the semi. finals.
