FRANKIE GENAR0
 DEFEATS PLADNER
Gets Decision on a Foul From
 FrenChman in Fifth Round

Paris, April 19 (uP)-French fight fans were greatly upset today over the decision which awarded Frankie Genaro of New York a vic tory over Spider Pladner. local fly weight, on a foul in the fifth round of scheduled l5-round bout at the Nelodrome DHiver.
 There were three judges, one French one American and one Swiss. The American and the Swiss judge concurred in disqualifying pladner for a low left hook which floored Genaro for the count in the fifth. but the French judge refused to agree, declaring that the Spider had won every round.
 Genaro was knocked down for the count of nine in the fifth before the punch which ended the bout.
 When Genaro and his seconds left the ring, they were attacked by spectators. Bottles were hurled, and Bill McCarney. the American fly weights manager, was struck by a French boxer. A spectator kicked Genaro in the stomach, and the American contingent escaped with difficulty.
 Pladner had been considered worlds champion by the French, al- though his victory over Corporal lazy Schwahtz was at catch weight As a result of last nights bout, Gen gro is claiming the title, but the claim proba ply will not be recogniz- ed in the United States.
 Billy McCarney said after the fight that he would not agree 10 Genaro boxing Pladner in France again, but would consent to return match in the United States.
 When Pladner and Genaro met last month. the French fyweight won on knockout in the first round. On that occasion, Genaro claimed to have been fouled. but the claim was not allowed.
 Genaro weighed 1l0a for last nights bout, while Pladner barely saved his l,0oo forfeit by tipping the beam at less than an ounce un- der 1lo pounds.
 The fight was a rough affair from the start. Genaro was cautioned twice for low hitting and again for putting. The French spectators hissed the American fiyweight.
 In the fifth round Pladner drop. ped Genaro for the count of nine. N hon bo 4 b.. Frenchman sank left hook to the body and Genaro was counted out. Two of the judges decided that the blow had been low, and disqualified pladner over the vigorous protests of the French judge.

 Alibis of all sorts were made be- fore the race even began. Herg- strom claimed a blister on his right foot. Perakos claimed that Herg- strom put something over on him by advising him to eat two hot dogs this morning. Nevertheless, both toed the mark.
