EMMANUEL Is
VICTOR over
MIKE M'TICUE
Old Veteran Displays
Snap and General
ship, But Fails to
Have Lasting Power

NEW YORK. June s.@tP1-There's
still plenty Of life in the body of
Mike McTigue, the ancient mariner
Of the fight racket, plenty of sting in
his right hand. and plenty of grey
matter under his thinning thatch.
For the benefit Of Armand Eman-
Tel. Mike proved all that last night
although he lost the decision in ten
rounds to the San Francisco young
ster. Mike thrilled 5000 customers
with a stirring display Of ringman-
ship and punching power that had
Emanuel on the floor for a count of
nine in the first round.
McTigue mixed and took chances
with a youngster who was learning
to walk when Mike fought his first
professional battle. The ring-worn
Irishman, carrying his 40 years
heavily at times, still had enough 20
win four Of the rounds while grudg-
ingly ~conceding six to the fast-step-
ping young lawyer from the Pacific
coast.
Before the bout was we'll under
way Mike coaxed Armand into lead
ing with his chin. The old n
promptly hung q right on it that de-
posted Armand for a count of nine.
Thereafter Emanuel was careful,
watchful of that right, and Mike took
full advantage.
But the legs that have carried Mike
into ring battles for almost 20 years
tired as the pace grew hot.
Emanuel. with "a two pound advan-
tage over McTigue at lit, rallied
after the first round to win the next
five. Mike battered his way 10 an
edge in the next three, but lost all
chance Of victory when Emanuel
rocked him about the ring in the
final session.
