International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Jan. 23-T h e,y
pulled another of those humorous
decisions out of the hat at Madi-
son Square Garden last night, but
this one was not without its hui
manitarian aspect. 1t was alleged
that Tommy Milligan, English
champion, had finished second to
Jack Civic, of Pittsburgh, at the
end of ten rounds and, although
the populace voiced violent dis
agreement with the verdict, I am
convinced that it was all for the
best.
Al verdict fov Milligan, even
though earned, would only have led
up to championship meeting with
Mickey Walker and there is law
against murder, strictly enforced
here whenever they become con-
WINGED that the perpetrator should
have known better in the first
place.
AS a matter of fact it was the
original plan to have Walker and
ATilIigan take flier with the judges
last night but the State commission
ruled that Walkers sore toe" was
bound to interfere with his breath
ing or something. Yet there are
those who claim that our worthy
commission serves no helpful pur-
pose

Milligan started with a rush and
carried the first two rounds, Zivic
being unable to untrack himself
and getting a thorough shellaclzing.
He, was all over his man in the
third, however. and almost stopped
him with left hook to the jaw
in the fourth.
Jack led throughout the fifth,
also, but slowed down and let Mil
ligan take the play away from him
in sthe sixth, seventh and eighth.
The final round went to zivic by a
shade.
Funny thing about NIilligan.
He blocks so well with his jowI,
