Johnny Carroll Wins
on Points i'm 8 u
Bout with /. Champ

Experience, height, weight and
reach were in Johnny CarrolI's IA
vor in his battle against Mickey
Cangro, lightweight champion of
of Staten Island, in the eight-round
contest on the Center A. c. program
which was exhibited in the auditor
ium last night and the Chrome fav-
orite made real use of these advan-
tages in outpointing the State Island
champion
Carroll weighed in at one hundred
n forty-two pounds and his op-
ponent tipped the scales four pounds
below this mark. The first session
OF this contest was devotedly almost
entirely to the feeling process
which is general, especially when two
men meet in the ring for the first
time.
Cangro was bothered by the
Chrome battler's jab in attempting
to come in and fight at close range.
The second round also was some
what tame. Carroll apparently was
not DESTROYS of smuggling with his
opponent until he tested his punch
ing strength and Cangro found it
impossible to make any Roadway in
his efforts to in-fghting.

round during which there was some
mixing by both men, Carroll landing
the cleaner punches. In the fourth
round there also was some action,
Cangro mitigating and also having
the better of a short slugging bee.
The fifth round was slow, both
men waiting for the other to lead
and any efforts at mixing resulted
in a clinch or misses. Carroll came
out of his corner in the sixth period
for action and he carried the fight
to his opponent. After about a min

back and when he came in again his
opponent landed a blow on his chin
which apparently dazed him. Can

thirty seconds for Referee Joe Hall
to break the two. Carroll went af-
ter his opponent again and the Stat
en- Islander was in bad shape when
the bell rang.
Cangro did not desire to carry the
fight to Carroll in the seventh and
covered UP or clinched when the
Chrome boxer came to him. AS a
result this round also was some
what slow. In the eighth round Car
