CHOCOLATE CL|NGS
TO BOXING CROWN
Shea Ahsorhs Assortment of
Punches, Some Low, in
Decisive Defeat.

BY the Associated Press
" HICAGO, August Skid Choc-
4 olate, Cuba's boxing tidbit, to-
Y 4 day had caught up with victory
and with his first champion
ship belt.
The "Keed" came into possession of
the junior lightweight title sometime
since but no belt was his until Gen.
John " Clinnin fastened one about him
in the Chicago Stadium last night,
after he had belted Eddie Shea, Chicago
Italian, all about the ring to win
title, His last bout resulted in widely
disputed decision defeat by Jackie CKid)
Berg in New York.
Shea, game, dogged puncher, had
little chance against Chocolate, who
started in the second round to paste
him with every blow in the catalogue
including couple of low ones, In the
third a low left hook dropped Shea
for a count Of eight, and Chocolate,
realizing his guilt. made no effort to
land blow for the remainder of the
round.
Chocolate speeded up in the fourth
and from there on Shea spent a good
share of the time trying to find out
where all the punches were coming
from, and with little success. The
Chicagoan rallied in the ninth, but his
brief furry failed to keep the decision
of the referee and two judges from
being unanimous
About 5000 spectators watched the
show. the Stadium's first in several
months

NEW YORK, August &C. P.A).-

NEW YORK, August &c. PAL
~ A victory over the Phillies, five
out of six from the Cardinals,
three out of four from the Cubs and
two triumphs in one day over the
leading Pirates! There you have
the achievements of the Dodgers in
their current home winning Spurt-
the most spectacular a Brooklyn
team has waged at EbbetS Field in
many seasons.
AS evidence that there's no stop
ping them these days they point to
the fact that in running up their
present four straight victories they
have pounded out three decisions
over two of the best pitchers in the
National League-Lon Warneke of
the Cubs and Steve Swetonic of the
Pirates. Warneke was beaten twice.
Hand Lefty O'Doul most of the
credit for the latest Brooklyn VIC
tory. for he richly deserves it. Lefty
crushed the Pirates almost single
handed in the second half of the
double header. He broke up the
contest in the tenth inning with
terrific drive against the right field
screen for home run. In the eighth
inning he STAYED off defeat by tying
the score with clout over the right
field screen. He drove in three of
the Dodgers six runs. O'Doul, who
won the National League batting
title in 1929, is making a strong bid
for this years crown.
