Okun Raps
Vet Chuck
But Virgins Wins Bout
With Law, Collecting
Pay in Advance.

Flowers before and a writ Of at
tachment after-that's what they
gave Chuck Virgins at the Armory
Tuesday night.
But that wasn't all the veteran
local heavyweight received. Yale
Okun, New York battler. handed
Chuck one of the worst beatings of
his long career in a ten-round
tusSle. Chuck'S face was bruised
and cut and he absorbed a lot of
punishment from Okun's two-fsted
ATTACK. The easterner won every
round.
Although Okun was lacking in
speed, he landed freely and wasn't
marked after the scrap. There
were no knockdowns. Virgins
weighed in at 2O2, holding a twenty
three-pound weight advantage.
Okun Is Unmarked
The wave of attachment suits that
has been threatening local boxing
promoters the past several months
appeared to have reached the eli
max today as deputy Sheriffs re-
ported in court their inability to
attach the $500 purse of Virgins
at the armory Tuesday night.
Ted Sullivan, inspector for the
state athletic commission, was on
hand when Deputy Sheriff J. B.
Tragessor served papers on Virgins.
Sullivan said Virgins answered,
Il can't be worried; I've already
got my dough-"
Later when Tragessor served
similar papers on Gerald B. Ely
and the American Legion, Sullivan
was on hand to hear Ely explain
how he had advanced Virgins $50
in cash and seventy-five ringside
tickets at 1920 and twenty-five
general admission tickets at S110
which gave Virgins an advance
total of $315, more than his
guarantee.
Virgins Asks Paw
1t was said Legion officials were
forced into making the advance of
$50 shortly before the fight when
Virgins refused to enter the ring
without the money in his jeans.
Max Farb charges he advanced
Virgins $500 on Dec. 7, 1929, when
Virgins planned one of his come
backs The money he charges was
for training expenses for a bout
with Walter Pickard, young heavy
weight.
The writ of attachment filed in
circuit court late Tuesday by Sol C.
Bodner, attorney for Farb, demands
81 900, or $500 for attorney fees and
interest.
Bodner said he will ask the court
to take cognizanze of the fact the
Legion violated rule Is of the state
boxing commission law, which
states no purse shall be paid until
after the fights have been COM
pleted.
Mitt Heads to Meet
Sullivan said he will report to the
commission members when they
hold their next meeting on March
Is that he warned the Legion Of
lcials recently, when Virgins was
sued by a florist company for q bill
of $23, that no advance purses must
be paid. 1t developed in that suit
that Virgins had been paid in adj
vance.
