 Showing his walloping wares for the first time in this city, Frankie Genaro of New York. billed in the N. B. A. states as the worlds fly weight champion last night suc- cessfully defended his title at Lake wood in a manner that left no room for ifs, ands, buts or alibis. A slashing left hook to the chin of Jackie Harmon, local 1l2 pounder ended the title bout in the sixth round, Harmon being knocked out cleanly and completely. Which gives the local boy the doubtful distinction of having been stopped by both champions of the fyweight division, Frankie Genaro and Mid get Wolgast.
 Stole the Show.
 Slightly over 1000 cash custom CTS took in the bouts, and were most pleased with the eight round black and white number featur- ing Irish Jimmy Sullivan of Tampa and Battling Archie of this city. The boys sluggcd each other round alter round, Sullivan earn- | ing the decision by virtue of con l tinuous body attack which had the negro gasping on innumerable oc- casions. At that the nod was close, 35 to 33, as Archie hit the cleaner punches and most of them, but he did 1t going away as Sullivan never relinquishcd his attack for d split second We had the added sur prise of seeing Archie belt Sulli- van flush on the jaw with his pet punch, a straight right hand and not even bend the lrisher's knees. This happened not once, but three times, and right then and there, we added one more attribute to our admiration of James-he can take | it.
 Right Hand Cracked? Sullivan tok plenty of punches on the forearms and elbows, ! which makes it easy to believe that Archie broke d bone in his right hand, according to the claims of | his handlers after the bout. He also landed solidly often enough 1 to beat and discourage many all I opponent minus the hide and heart of Gene Flaherty's boy, who kept punching with d remarkable regu-
 larity which gave him the nod 1, amidst wave of applause and boos--it was that close. Too much backpedaling cost Archie the de- cision, but 1t was d hard-earned win for Sullivan and a fair one. Both boys were pretty well marked up after the melee. Sullivan l59, Archie 155.
 What started like good fight l I ,,,t, f,p n six rounds ended in q decision for Romeo Dubois of New Haven over Billy Champney of Worcester. The youngsters mixed 1t now and then but hardly often enough for the af- fair to be called hght. DuDols 129, Champney 132.
 Vic No Victor
 After being on the floor more often than your favorlte tobacco juice, Vic Carlson was glad to get out of the ring after four rounds of take from Willie Bush the Florida tourist. They went along fairly even in the first round, but after that 1t was just a Case of Carlson on the carpet. Two Hops in the second, another in the third and final knockdown in the | fourth and last round, gave the dc- cision to Bush. Carson's cour- age was his best point. Bush 175. Carlson 177.
 Andy Strong, the hammer and nail man from Washington will never forget the fact that Pete Supina of Hartford did not show up for his four round go. In | Peters stead, Augustus Clyde
 Holmes of Bridgeport stepped into the roped enclosure and hit Andy so hard and often that Strong was eakened so greatly that his legs
 couldn't hold him up for the fourth round and he was counted
 out, fiat on his back, during which
 ceremony q Turkish towel tossed
 in the ring, finished the go. Strong
 174, Holmes IFS.
