Chapdelaine was gasping like q gold
fish pried out Of the bowl by the kitten
Finally Uzcudun landed one in the
exact middle of the French Ca
madam. Chapdelaine bent double
and his eyes showed white. The
referee ruled that the punch was
foul. to the great astonishment of all
present. And the most astonished
and relieved person in the house was
M. Chapdelaine, who could not have
lasted another round.
This fight came Immediately after the
one In which Dempsey dropped Jack
Sharkey or Josef Paul Cukoschay with
two foul punches which the referee
might have allowed If VIII Duffy, Mr..
Dempsey's second, had not n1enaced
him with o threatening forefinger. It
had been the referee leaning the wrong
way In the Uzcudun- Delaney thing.
Uzcudun lost, according to the records,
but this was his best fight and showed
that he Is very tough customer.
In = Long Fight.
COME of the experts insist that II
- 'Uzcudun were fighting under the old
IS to As round rules he might have been
heavyweight champion some time ago,
II he could have gotten the matches.
that any State law allows in these days
of the softening up of the manly art Of
modified murder.
Come to think Of it Batting Nelson
might never have been heard of IL he
had started his career in these days.
AS recall him. the battler could not
even get warmed up in IS rounds. He
became interesting only after his OPP
ponent had battered his face out Of all
human semblance.
Then the opponent would begin to
wonder what use 1t was to batter the
Durable Dane as they called him.
It seemed only to freshen him up
and make him all the more agrees
sive. As the opponent tired, Nelson
became more and more active. Mel
sons opponents beat themselves or
rendered themselves so exhausted
that they were ready to be knocked
out at the convenience OF Nelson.
1t does seem highly probable that
type. He is harder to hit. and when
the opponent lands on the exposed
area of reinforced concrete skull, he Is
more than likely to break his hand.
But unfortunately the 15-round limit
Is certain to cramp the style Of Senor
Uzcudltn as 1t has done in most Of his
starts in this country. A punching
bag, even a tWO-legged one with o
pair of arms, Is not the makings Of
an ideal heavyweight champion. But 1t
seems that Pauline UZcudun Is one of
the best contenders we have, which is
the only excuse for the meeting.
They Cannot Lose.
THE six hundred millionaires are not
i as depressed over this one as they
were Immediately before the Tunney-
Heeney bout, the last battle Of the
century. The Madison Square Garden
Corporation was thrown for q loss. of
several hundred thousand dollars by
that one when the customers failed to
get enthusiastic.
In the Uzcudun- -Scvhmeling thing
there can be no deficit. The Federal
Government has lifted the IS per cent
caulifiower tax because the show will
be for the benefit, of the Milk Fund
and some Of the money coming In at
the gate will go for what the press
agent calls "the nourishing tactical
fluid" This Is after the promoters. the
fighters, the managers and all of the
boys who must get theirs. get theirs.
This time the promoter-far from
being all forlorn--is contemplating
with pleasure milking the COW with
the caulidQYer horn. And 20 are
