DENCIO OUTPOINTS
ORIOLE FLYWElGHT

Young Dencio. Filipino flash, has
nothing more to beat in Baltimore if
Little JEFF. Southern f1yweight cham
pion, is the best that city can pro-
ducc. The FILIPINO clearly demon
srated his superiority over Little jeff
last night in 10 furious rounds in the
feature attraction at the Washing
ton Barracks.
Dencio's speed, his canny infighting
and the amazing knack he displayed
in keeping clear of Jeff's vicious
swings accounted for the Southern
flyweight's downfall
: JEFF was slow and failed to land any
really telling blows. Dencio's wal
lops. though, lacked the necessary
steam to stop jeff altogether. But
Dencio danced about, beat his OPP
ponent to the punch, and, above all,
displayed enough speed to make jeff
miss a dozen times.
Jimmy Gardner of Washington un-
leashed two punches in the first
round to knock out Kid Wagner of
Baltimore in the four round opener
Midget Carbon showed conSide ra bic
improvement when he trounced frankie
Neill of Baltimore in six s1ashing
rounds. Eddie Leonard of Baltimore
shaded Kid Cafoni of Walter Reed in
another siX-rounder.
Kid Sullivan was referee of the
preliminaries, while Col. Ericsson Off
ciated in the main go.
