the friendly feeling between tie ring
rivals sadly battered.

crowd of 5000 protested loudly and
the indignant Italian boxers marched
from the arena.

and several fist fights broke out in
the arena Ringsiders were subjected
to a bombardment Of everything
throwable, including a couple of small
knives. Police finally restored order
and after a half hours delay the

tinue. But Joe Jones. the referee

The 18th hole was typical. He sliced
his second. A fence was moved so
he could get to his ball and he drop

holed the putt for a par four. The
hole is named "the lucky slap"
