siously filled.

In discussing the Chuck Virgins

Chuck Virgins of indianapolis,
cagy ring veteran, who, like wine,
improves with age, carried far too
many guns for the Toronto Negro
and made off with the decision at
the close of ten rounds of hard and
earnest battling. From the fifth
round on it proved a one-sided af-
fair, much to the delight of the
fans. Gains faded after the half
way post was passed, and from then
on acted as receiver-in-general, and
at the end found hil1self sadly
outclassed battler."
An ambitious campaign had been
mapped out for. Gains, capitalizing
the fact that the big Canadian had
stopped Max Schmeling in three
rounds, but the Negroes manager
pulled an awful faux pas" when
he picked on Virgins to build up"
his fighter.
Chuck is reported as having come
out of the Buffalo scrap without a
mark, and will work out each day
to keep himself in condition for his
ten-rounder with Sandy Seifert OF
Pittsburgh at the Armory next

NEW YORK, March 15.-Al Sing

defeat Bud Taylor, Terre Haute ter

in Madison Square Garden tonight.
In their previous meeting last
month Singer was the victor on a
disputed foul in the fourth round.
Both boxers have completed rigid
training in preparation for the re-
turn struggle. Singer has built him
self up to about 100 pounds, and
probably will outweigh Taylor by
about four pounds.
The winner will be in direct line
for title match with Andre Routis
of France, featheweight champion,
who is expected to return from his
native country shortly.
If he wins, Taylor probably will
accept a match with Tony Canon
