w papa spank" it's no
' ' fooling as Charley voD
Reedon will attest today.
Charley still is the bad boy OF
local boxing, but on two counts
now instead of only that run
out" he took on Lew Feldman a
month ago. For that he was
spanked by a mild suspension.
Last night he took another and
more thorough spanking.
Won Reedon is far and away a bet
ter featherweight boxer than Al Gil
lette Of Brooklyn, but Al heads home
with a victory because Charley fool
ishly chose to test another boxing
commission ruling last night at the
Riding and Hunt Club. The District
code says striking of low blow will
mean loss OF the round and the COM
mission means to enforce it.
Charley hit Gillette, who is not so
keen as his razor-blade nameSake,
a good many low blows He also
landed good many more legal blows
than did his foe. but repeated fouling
cost him the last five rounds, the
decision and a chance to really be-
come somebody in local fistiana
WON REDON, weighing 127 to
v Gillette 124%., opened their
-IJund scrap as though he meant
to wipe out that Feldman Smudge on
his record. After an even first round
he narrowly missed kayoing Gillette
in the second with bOmbardment of
wicked. overland rights to the jaw.
The third was even and then Gillette
had to hang on desperately to sur
vive the fourth and fifth
Won Reedon appeared to be "in,"
but then he struck that foul groove
and stayed in it. Right off the bat
he lost the sixth heat automatically
by landing a low blow and he re-
peated the tactics in the remaining
four, losing all via the low-blow
route, though, had he kept them
above the waistline. Gillette could not
have been credited with more than
one canto-the fifth.
Frequent warnings from Referee
IlODtll MOlIS Iidu llO cllcSI VII IIlc
lanky local feather. but the decision
rendered at the finish by Morris and
Judges Frank Schuyler and Henri di
Sibour may have provided Charles
with food for thought today.
EIDGET wOLGAST or Al Ra-
Vl gone, they look alike to Sammy
Seaman. The transplanted
Pacific Coast bantamweight, expected
to really show his stock in trade
against Ragone, who is a far cry from
the Wolgast to cut Sammy to pieces
at Portner's recently, failed miserably
in the seni-windup, his second local
start.
In anything, Seaman looked worse
against Ragone than he did against
Wolgast, dropping all eight rounds to
the aggressive youngster from Brook
lyn in a bout which bowed to the
Henry Irving-Jack Renault scrap as
the feature of the preliminary card.
Irving, local light-heavyweight
came back after couple Of kayoes
at Portner's in recent months, to
whip Renault in a slam-bang strug-
gle Renault. also of Brooklyn, gave
away 9 pounds to the l75-pound Irv-
ing. but gamely withstood Henry's
best looping punches, although on the
verge of a kayo several times. He
always managed to rally, however,
and once in the third round seemed
to have Irving ripe for a Knockout.
Technical kayoes ended a brace OF
four-rounders. Nanny Tillman of
Baltimore scored over Joe Dody, To-
cal lightweight, in the third round
and Bill Howell disposed of Sailor
McKenna in the second via the tech
nical knockout route. Both are To-
cal welterweightS. F. E. S.
