Commission came down to the final
stages today with a decision on the
question what is and was there q

The commission had promised to set
tie the matter with q final verdict to-
day after examining all the evidence
submitted since Billy f1attened the
blonde King in four rounds In Madison
Square Garden, and excited general
suspicion in doing it.
When Commissioner John j. Phelan
ordered TIE purses held up after the
match, Tut announced that an ailing
appendix caused his poor showing. In
previous duel in st. Paul, Tut knocked
out Petrolle in "a seconds.
To further his contention, Tut re-
Gently had his appendix removed.
Neither of the warriors has been
ordered to the meeting today. The gen.
eral belief was that Petrolle would be
absolved of all wrong doing, but that
Tut would be disciplined.
The commission has revealed that 1t
has definite evidence of betting coup,
both here and in the Midwest, where
the odds shifted strangely from Tut to
Petrolle shortly before the battle.

it back, may never again occupy the
place now held by the Greek, but
it would be q tough job trying to
convince the majority Of $500 fans who
witnessed Joe Turner's snow last night
that Iondos Is the better rassler.
Having seen Jim the week previous,
Shikat'S work was watched with more
than usual interest, ard Dicks per-
Torrance against Matros Kirelenko was
about as perfect mat job as could be
dcne.
Sh;kat was content mainly to let
KireIenko beat himself, though he lit
orally swan out of every hold the Rus
sian tried. Kirelenko, though he knows
better now, thought the best way TO
get Shikat was to butt him, but not be-
ing a former college foot ball star and
Shikat not being stationary, this was
practically impossible.
II Kirelenko was supposed TO connect
with Shikats brisket at all during the
set-to, they got their signals crossed
badly. After missing for perhaps the
tenth time, Matros' final desperate
charge caused his 30-minute downfall.
He went tumbling through the ropes,
down from the arena to the floor 8 feet
below, and though he gamely came
back almost Immediately, the plnnlng
of his shoulders was mere formallty.
Matros took hard sock, tearing the
tendons on his right leg and running
a two-inch splinter through his thigh.
The George Hagen-Milo Steinborn
bout, as expected, gave the feature a
close run, Hagen winning In about ~
minutes with q series Of butts and hy-
ing tackles.
Rudy Dusek, rated one Of the clas-
siest raSslers in the games, drew more
than one mans share Of booS again
when he downed Chief Son Jennings In
141z minutes with Q couple OF modified
flying tackles.
Billy Bartusil and George Tragos
fought to 30-minute draw in match
replete with plenty of punching, but, OF
course, nobody was hurt.
Babe Caddock, as expected, triuniphed
over Ivan Vakturoff, though he gave
the Russian some As pounds. He won
in 241S minutes.
Willie Davis and Nick hester raSsled
to 15-minute draw in the opener.
No program is scheduled for next
Thursday, Turner having stepped out
of the way in favor of the Shrine

forming again.

In the first place, Loughran twice

third, Tommy's the betting favorite
The faithful shudder every time they

But the one-time light-heavyweight
champion of the world Is not worrying
He turned in one of the finest boxing
performances Of his career in outpoint-
ing Max Baer at the Garden recently
Having shaved his weight to little more
than 40 pounds, Tommy has regained
much of his old-time speed afoot, and
his left jab is just as annoying and
effective as it was when he was easily
b.ating all the 175-pounders in the
business
Schaaf, on the other hand, is Just
as confident. He has beaten Loughran
twice in three attempts, and he's taken
the stiffest blows of much more dam
gerous punchsrS than Loughran with
out laundering. He Is a much more
damaging puncher than Tommy.
