NJ STREET BRIDGE WORK
ENCOUNTERS NEW DELAY
Contract Cancelled When Low Bid
der Announces $4,000 Error
in Calculations.

Replacement of the M Street Bridge
across Rock Creek has encountered
another delay as result of action of
the District Commissioners yesterday in
canceling the contact awarded several
days ago to the firm which submitted
the low bid.
The Commissioners acted on the re-
quest of the successful contractor who
reported that an estimator in his office
had made an error of $4,000 in his
calculations and that he could not build
the new bridge without loss.
The contract now likely will be
awarded the second lowest bidder, the
Farris Engineering Co. of Pittsburgh,
that is now ref1ooring Highway Bridge.

GODFREY WINS IN FURIOUS BATTLE
Giant Negro Clubs Way to Dc
 CSion Over Pauline /

wrigley Field. Los Angeles. Feb. 29 @-Georgt Godfrey. negro CO., lossus of the ring. clubbed his way to . decision over Pauline Uzcudun, knotty muscled son of the Basque country last night after ten furious rounds that had 10000 persons on edge throughout the battle.
 But Godfrey had no walkaway. Tipping the scales at 23614 pounds, which gave him a ~ pound advan- tage tn weight. his hands were full from the start to the finish.
 The black haired Spaniard. arms failing, opened with a rush, but in the early session he was tied up by the titanic Godfrey. who used his huge bulk to advantage.
 The tide of battle shifted to Uzcudun in the sixth. Beginning the round he caught Godfrey flush on the jaw with stinging left hook. It hurt the negro and he re- treated steadily with his smaller opponent following him around the
  couple of blows during the round.
 Fists flying. the Basque came out in the seventh to drive his opponent around the ring again. Godfrey was puzzled and hurt as Pauline continued to bore in, pumping both hands to the body. The crowd cheered wildly for the Spaniard as the round ended. The eighth round went the same way with Pauline continuing on the aggres- sive.
 Lashed with the knowledge of impending defeat, Godfrey came out in the ninth to take away the play He clubbed the Spaniard steadily to the body. crossing with a left to the face that had the woodchopper from the Pyrenees bleeding at the close. The tenth was another Godfrey round. as he mauled and beat his Pauline from rope to rope.
 Those at the ringside credited Godfrey with five rounds, the third, fourth, fifth and ninth and tenth. Pauline had his edge in the second, sixth. seventh and eighth with the first fairly even.
 Uzcudun's showing was a tremen- dous surprise both to Godfrey and his packers. who figured the negro's hugh bulk and clever boxing would carry him to a one-sided victory If not a knockout.
 Both fighters turned their attack mainly to the body with Uzcudun depending on two-fisted punching in the clinches and the negro clubbing
