extracts from genuine letters Of . German
woman spy, one OF Frauleins pupils, that passed
through the hands Of the American Secret

Terre Haute Pug Loses to

BY BERT DEMBY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, April 22-Ability to get
up off the floor and come back to
victory today placed Fidel La Barba'
pride of the Pacific coast, a step
farther along the path to the
.catherweieht boxing championship.
La Barba, who gave up the fly
weight championship to obtain an
education and took on so much
weight at Stanford university that
he came back to the ring as a
featherweight, Monday fought
the greatest battle of MS career to
defeat Bud Taylor, the rere Haute
terror, in ten rounds by decision.
The fight ended sensationally.
La Barba surprised Taylor with a
willingness to slug in the first
round. Bud measured the Italian
and shot over a right cross. Fidel
landed on his face and it appeared
he was out. But he rolled over and
got up by the time the referee had
counted seven.
Fidel went to his corner in a
daze and in the next round took
one on the jaw which staggered him.
Again it was Taylor's round, and
the third also went to Bud, by a
close margin.
La Barba took the fourth by a
wide margin, and also outscored
Taylor in the fifth, sixth and sew
enth. La Barba took the eighth
and ninth and the tenth was a
smuggling match, with each fighter
trying to score a knockout.
The fight was the first of Pro-
mOter Jack Dempsey's elimination
series to obtain a contender for
Featherweight Champion Bat Bat
talino. Dempsey was elated today,
having finally put over a winner in
his promotional efforts in Chicago.
Monday night he made $4,000.
