PETROLLE GETS
KNOCKOUT over
BILLY TOWNSEND

NEW YORK. Dec. 81. U.P)-Long
years in the ring apparently have
had a mellowing effect on Billy
Petrolle, for compared with the
Billy Petrolle of old, the fighter
who scored a seven-round knock
out victory over Billy Townsend
of Vancouver, B. c.. at Madison
Square Garden last night. was a
soft-hearted, fatherly sort OF
athlete.
In defeating Townsend, tabled
as the finest young welterweigh5
prospect of the day, Petrolle was
a master boxer. He lodged under
his opponents every blow and
seldom wasted a punch.
After knocking Townsend down
for a nine count before the OPEN
ing round was minute old,
Petrolle obviously carried his
rival, either to give the fans a
run for their money or because
he had no desire TO hand out un-
necessary punishment.
Petrolle tented Townsend into
numerous openings and never once
let fly with a stiff punch until he
was certain it would land. He
scored four knockdoWns before
Referee Willie Lewis halted the
bout after l minute and So sec
onds of the seventh round.
