LOSER ON DECISION
Bows to JefferiS of PhiIIy.
Show at College Park Re-
pIete With Action.
BY r. d. THOMAS.

N A string of ring victories
that had endured through
two years of college boxing came
to a not ignoble end when Danny
Pyne Of Catholic University lost a
3-round decision to Ray Jefferies,
Philadelphia light-heavyweight, in
one of the feature bouts of East
ern A. A. U. championships here
tonight.
The climax of a wild and wooley
evening came, however, when Duke
Crinkley, intercollegiate champion last
year while at the Naval Academy got
the nod over Jack Moran of Phila-
delphia though almost out on his feet
at the finish.
Pyne Not OutclaSsed.
Pyne was clearly outpointed. but the
margin of defeat was close enough to
leave the Cardinal still a candidate
for the American Olympic team. He
fought at distinct disadvantage. His
opponent was almost head taller and
Jefferis' reach made 1t problem for
the Cardinal to get in close.
In the second round Pyne was
slightly staggered with a right to the
chin, but nearly matched it with an
overhead left. Pyne's only effective
weapon.
Crinkley won small edge in the
first round and took the second with
plenty to spare, but he was near dis
aSter in the final when Moran nailed
him with both mitts on the Jaw and
face. The naval ensign plainly was
IL
gallery, numbering more than 5000,
although eager for a Crinkley victory,
disagreed with the decision.
1t was Moran's first defeat In 16 bat
ties. Crinkley never has lost.
Baltimore Boys Score.
1t required one round for Sammy
Herman of Baltimore to spike the an
noying straight left of the New York
State bantam champion, Teddy Shar-
iigan. then he went on to win handily
IN the three rounds. 1t was the open
ing bout of the show.
Johnny Schapp of Baltimore, South
Atlantic hyweight champion, and Tony
Idone Of New York, almost a head
shorter, slugged toe-to-toe through
three rounds with only an occasional
let-up to catch their wind.
Schapp won by a small margin, but
Idone got an equal share of applause.
This battle had the crowd in an up
roar.
1t was hardly less exciting, however,
than the bantam scrap that followed,
in which the New England title holder,
Henry Burns Of Boston, outpointed
Scotty Smith of Baltimore Smith
was on the verge of slumber midway
the second stanZa, but was fighting
gamely at the bell.
Jack McCarron, New England light
weight title holder, defeated Charlie
Barianco of Baltimore, but the Oriole
made it fight all the way. Both
Carrons punches carried more steam.
D. C. Legionnairre Beaten.
In a feather contest, arranged at
the eleventh hour, Johnny Ryan, a
washington Legionnaire, was knocked
out by Johnny Fritz of the Ritz Club
of Baltimore in the second round
Ryan stopped series of right upper
cuts with his chin.
A whirlwind finish failed to save
victory for Harry Goldberg, Bronx
with Marty Bond of Baltimore. A
large part of the crowd voiced dis
approval of the decision.
Jimmy Nodamatzki of Baltimore
proved his class as Maryland State
welter champion by outpointing
Charles Nagle Of New York, to whom
he conceded height, weight and reach.
Nagle twice was staggered with blows
to the whiskers.
By virtue of enough shock resist
ance for two men and unlimited cour-
age, Ray Bohannon of the Navy lasted
the route with Andy Croce, New York
m1ddlewe1ght. Bohannon's chin rivalled
a punching bag.
Heinie Miller refereed all the bouts,
with Bryan Morse and Billy Whip the
judges.
OF the 10 bouts, all of them sizzlers,
only one ended In knockout.
