TUFFY GRIFFITHS REDEEMED
WITH WIN OVER JACK CACNON

0utboxes Man Who Had
Knocked Him Out
FANS SAW BATTLE
Long Left Of Tough One in Good
Working Order to Keep
Jack OFF Balance

Chicago, May 1.-(R-Tuffy Grit
fiths, Sioux City, Ia, today was back
on the list Of contenders for the world
heavyweight boxing championship,
the stain of a technical knockout
defeat by Jack Gagnon removed from
his record by a 10-round decision
victory over the Boston sailor last
night.
Before 20,550 spectators, most Of
whom went to the Chicago stadium
hoping to learn that Gagnon's stun
ming victory ver Griffiths at Phila-
delphia last month was q mistake,
the tough n outboxed Gagnon most
of the way. The right hand that
sent Griffiths crashing to the canvas
in Philadelphia did little damage al
though Gagnon kept it busy. It
landed on Tuffy's chin in the eighth
round but Gagnon couldn't get his
man lined up for another shot. Grit
fiths' long left was in great working
order and it kept Gagnon off bal
ance. The sailor never stopped try
ing and the right was swishing over
Griffiths' head or landing high just
as busily at the bell as at the start.
Griffiths' triumph probably will
lead to a great natural" for the sta
dunn next month"; Griffiths.O Otto
Won Porat bout. Won Porat had
to meet the winner and Grit
fiths is expected to sign up soon.
