form that brought him victory over

ged and out-maneuvered King Levinsky,
22-year-old Chicagoan, In a rousing 10
round bout in Madison Square Garden
last night
1t was after Risko had beaten Shar-
key that Tex Rickard labeled him the
'spoiler," fighter who couldn't win a
title chance for himself but could do
enormous damage to leading contenders.
And it was Risko the ''spoiler' who

IT was a savagely fought brawl all

left and right handed barrage to the
head in the first round and consist

few days and try to sell Clark Grifhth

It's his submarine ball, a rare pitch
in base ball. one of those heaves which
made Carl Mays talked about and the
same kind of toss on which Ad Liska
tried to ride to fame.
Paul SAYS he is good-and he doesn't
bore you in saying it. Paul has an honest
way of saying it and when he tells you
he is good with his underhand ball he
says it more to prove that he has con-
f1dence in himself than to be egotis-
tical.
I've Just been leg stretching out on
the Hotel Biloxi Veranda with Paul and
he has told me a lot Of things about
submarine shoot which I never knew
before. And he has impressed me that

T UNIVERSITY. Va, February 25.--
Virginia, with boxers qualified
in every one of the eight classes,
was distinct favorite to retain
its Southern Conference ring tourney
in which the semi-fnal and finals were
being staged today and tonight.
Bobby Golostein, Virginias light

most impressive scrapper In the tour
ney in his technical knockout of Thomas
OF Washington and Lee.
North Carolina, which qualified six
men, was seen as the greatest menace
to Virginias title North Carolina State
with four, Clemson and Duke with three
each, Maryland South Carolina and
Washington and Lee with two each,
and v. M. I. and v. P. I. with one
apiece, were the others to remain in
competition
North Carolina lost its captain and
star lightweight, Levinson, who despite
the fact that an X-ray later showed
he had suffered three broken bones in
wrist, defeated Scott of Duke by de-
cision in the preliminaries. Levinsop

has been conquered"
Bolton says that he has made spe

his deficiency.
Cliffs weakness on a high, backward
foul ball came from an accident in
1929. when he was with the New
Haven club of the Eastern League

not much afraid
Cliff is almost a sure bet to make
the grade this year.
Bobby Burke. who reported with a
bad arm at the last training camp
is in good shape this year. Bobby is
five pounds over last seasons weight
and cheerful.
Jack Russell, another bean pole
hurler, is also five pounds over last

having been hit hard an expression OF
pain crossed his face and he managed
to last out the round only by holding

In his corner he became so i'll that
Ed Stevenson, his manager, was forced
to notify Referee Tommy Thomas that
