DETROIT. June 20.-tP-Johnny
Risko, Cleveland baker boy, has

These two veteran trial horses

rounds. Ringside experts credited
the Clevelander with nine OF the
ten rounds.
In their first meeting, three
years ago. Risko was awarded the
decision after a close fight that
some critics thought Pauline had
won. Last night there was not the
slightest question as to the merits
Of the award.

any posture in which he might
find himself, cuffed the basque

Pauline made his best showing
