Old King Tut Wins
Easily, Outslugs
Ballerino

ST. PAUL. Mimi, April 27.-
Mike Ballerino, of Bayonne,
N. j., former New York State
lightweight champion, lost
newspaper decision when he was
easily outsluged by King Tut,
of Minneapolis, in a 10-round
bout here last night.
The slam-bang affair, saw
Ballerino groggy on numerous
occasions, but he succeeded in
weathering the storm of Tut's
heavy punches to the jaw and
body and was on his feet at the
end of the ten rounds.
The only Touchdown occurred
in the first round when Tut
connected with a left hook to
Ballerino's jaw, following it
with right uppercut which sent
the Italian to the floor for q
count of five.
The Washington times., 1927-04-27

The fight didn't last long
enough for me to get a real line
on Maloney. For Jim finished De-
Kuh in a hurry But from those
who know Maloney and have seen
him in his most important battles,
/ understand he is a good puncher,
a good boxer and Northumberland
that he improves with each battle.
If Maloney has done much inn
proving since he swarmed all over
DeKuh and knocked him out in
less than two rounds-Well, Maloney
would seem to have developed into
ringman who ought to have a
splendid chance with any man in
the game. For he has youth,
strength, gameness, ability to take
punching, and stamina as natural
assets which, plus the reported inn
provement in the arts and sciences
of pugilism through the last six
months, makes him formidable tc
an extreme.
All 1 know about Sharkey is
hearsay, But I'm told that he is
one of the cleverest bigman of
modern times: that he's cool and
calm at all times; that he can take
that even though he is not one of
those "murderous hitters." he can
and does-hit with jolting power.
/ never figured Harry Wills as
champion-nor as a near champion,
but there is no denying that Wills
did have ability, plus great size and
weight and giant strength. Yet,
Sharkey whipped him in most de.
cisive fashion. And for that. Shar.
key deserves plenty of credit and
gets ranking as a mighty good
fighter.
If had seen Sharkey in one or
another of his fights, and had
chance to see Maloney in action be.
yond that one time when he took on
the youthful and rather inexperi.
enced DeKuh--we1l, then / might
attempt a little predicting.
But can't make a real guess as
TO the outcome, so I'll just hope that
the man who wins will win by
tremendous margin, and establish
him indisputably as the greatest of
all the men who took part in. Tex
