Ell in ''Met'' Tourney
By Jack Masters

Jack Rosenberg, Of the Bronxdale A.
e., comparatively unknown boxer.
won what laurels there were at Madi-
son Square Garden last night, when he
eliminated Marty Smith Of the X Of
{. Center, in the preliminary Of the
metropolitan amateur boxing cham
pionships. Rosenberg was awarded a
questionable decision after four in
terestlng rounds Smith Is the anna
teur lightweight champion of this
state and one of the best in his class
in the East
The decision met with roars Of dis
approval, the majority Of the crowd
being of the opinion that a great in
justice was done the Casey" battler.
1t was evident, however, that Smith has
gone back considerably in the past six
months. He is not the fighter that he
was even two months ago. when he
won the New York State title.
Rosenberg had none Of the aggres-
sivenoss Of his opponent, nor did he
pack anything that resembled a wal
lop. but he did own neat left lab,
and he put his southpaw nit in Marty 8
face so often that the sturdy little
1rishman could never get set to do any
damage with his wicked right hook.
The BronXdale youth had slight
margin in the opening round, while
Smith took the second by mile Had
Marty been able to follow up when he
had his man in trouble he undoubtedly
would have won by knockout. Rosen-
berg rallied in the third. and by judi
cious use of that straight left he kept
Marty away from him, although the
latter forced the milling throughout
the session
Unable to select the winner. the
Judges ordered another round, and in
the fourth Rosenberg actually out
pointed Smith The men Oh the high
stools again disagreed and Referee
kirchner awarded the bout to Rosen-
Oere.
The Rosenberg Smith match was
easily the best OF the evening. Not
much can be said of the other dozen OF
so exhibitions. For the most part the
evident that no restrictions were placed
upon the candidates for the champion
ships. On point basis Nelson scored
three to one.
