Wallace ShOUs Left DaDis'JGckSOn Thrill
That StartLes Fans In SLUgging Match
As Well as Taylor Title Fight Set Back

It isn't every day, nor every
night either, that you see q
lethal left in the boxing ring,
but I saw one last night at
Portner's Arena that I hope to
see more Of, it belonging to
Patsy Wallace, who oddl
enough lost the verdict by a dis
qualification to his opponent,
Buck Taylor, something OF a
fighter in his own right.
Wallace's name incidentally
can't possibly be Wallace, for he
is an Atlantic Italian, with
shocks of black hair pasted
down over his head as the
young bucks Of this day are
prone to fix their coiffeurs.
Anyway, in the first half-m1nute
of the first round he swung a
left hook to Young Mr.. Taylor'S
.whiskers which crumpled the
Baltimorean for several seconds.
But he pulled himself together
and made q gallant comeback
to last the round.
However, midway Of the sec
ond Wallace managed to again
bring that lethal left into play
to the same portion OF Taylor's
anatomy, knocking the latter
to his knees and laying a right,
which had already started. on
the falleG gladiator's shoulder.
The only thing Charley Short
referee, could do was to dis
qualify Wallace, who carried
away the cheers Of the thou
sand hardy fans that braved a
rather blizzardish night to have
their fistic fun.
Burns Ducks Wallace
Fans a week previous who
were disappointed that Balti-
more K. o. Burns did not put
in appearance to meet Wallace
at Alexandria now have q S'ls.

a sweet weapon and in the brler

Larry Jackson, q substitute
and Roddy Davis also had the
fans out of their seats through
out their six rounds Of milling,
jackson getting away at the
opening Of the first two rounds
with solid anackS to Davis
jaw, which, if they didn't hurt
Roddie, sounded as though
they might. But Roddy later
compiled a nice margin to win
as satisfactory a fight as was
on the card.
The main go between Petey
Hayes and Charley Won Reedon
was more science than slug
ging, Hayes edge being in
close quarter body attack. The
local boy fought q heady fight
against the No. 4 ranking
feather and refused to be
stampeded. He had a right
swing working all night that
his shorter opponent succeeded
in ducking. The fans sat in
rapt attention throughout, the
fighting being that close. But
for a rousing stand-up scrap,
I liked the Davis-Jackson go
and I was thrilled to the toes
over Patsy Wallace's rapier
left.
Public Inconvenienced
Madison Square Garden Cor.
poration is in the throes Of
again changing a date for one
of it's Florida fistic promotions
it having discovered there is
too much competition in other
sports and social field on the
night Of February % for the
Carnera-Loughran fight.
I think this is very late hour
to arrive at such q conclusion,
particularly in view Of the fact
the promoters were warned OF
conflicts early in January at the
time Colonel Fitzpatrick, head
Of the Garden, made a flying
trip to Miami from New York to
settle all particulars and actually
make sure the fight would be
held.
The particular hardship is on
