.Loughran Gets
Decision Over
Young Emanuel

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, June 29.-The first
decision ever rendered against
Armand Emanuel, California lawyer
fighter, was given Thursday night
when Tommy Loughran, light
heavyweight champion, was declared
the winner in ten rounds at the
garden.
The champions title was not at
stake, Emanuel weighing a quarter
of a pound above the weight. The
Californian weighed 1854 and
Loughran 174%.
Loughran met his equal as a box
er and was forced to finish the last
two rounds in whirlwind fashion. 1t
was this last attack, coupled with
points gained earlier in the fight,
which earned the decision for him.

he was more of a myth than a
menace, but he had a lot of the
white boys saying their prayers be-
lore going to bed at that.
Wills was effective until his
handlers started him to menacing

just an animated punching bag and
not excessively animated, either.
Il
AS close student of menaces
in Sundry hues / am grieved to
report that the newest and biggest
of the breed, George Godfrey, of
LeipervilIe, Pa, is not dangerous
animal
TINE truth is, he is something of
l. a house pet, and I believe even
the most tirnid of the white heavy
weight children may be trusted to
go romping through the park with
him.
The good Mr.. Daugherty dumped
Godfrey into the ring at Ebbets
field Wednesday night to fulfill
social appointment with Johnny
Risko of Cleveland. In the begin
ming Godfrey looked powerfully
menacing.
The difference in weights between
the two fighters was the equivalent
of fast back field man, or Az
pounds. It took the combined SER
vices Of the canvas squad of Col.
McKeever's ball park to dismantle
the bath robe which hung like tent
folds from Godfrey'S shoulders.

few chances to see horses, and
certainly there never was horse

as big as Godfrey.

FOR while it looked as the
Il menace might actually do quite
bit of plain and free style men
acing. He hit Risko with right and
left hand punches in the first round
that must have soured the dough
back in that Cleveland bakery.
The faint hearted turned their
heads. There was the promise of
an early and messy massacre. God
frey's shoulder and arm muscles
stood out like the humps on a cam
els back and you felt certain he
could flatten Risko any time he
chose. But this appears to be a
bad season for the choosers.
Godfrey did not choose to choose
and while he continued to pummel
away at Risko's body, paying ardent
attention to his kidneys, he did not
make any important progress.

He was far out in front going
into the fifth round when Risko

PLENTY UTILITY MEN

Connie Mack has more utility and
all-round men than he can use on
the Philadelphia Athletics roster.
Jimmy Dykes is a good man at any
position in the infield. Jimmy Foxx
can catch, play the outfield and has
shown promise of being a great
third baseman.
Mike Cochrane can play the out
field or first base, as we'll as catch,
and even Joe Bush wouldn't get
killed in the outfield.
