BY lengthening the series they ad-

might save q lot Of bother simply by
comparing the principals averages

Then, again. the technical-mind-

nIG Les Kennedy is back on
X the victory trail again to-
IL day, but there Is little to
indicate the stout-legged
Californian again will be a seri-
GUS heavyweight flStic threat.
In the sorriest exhibition Of alleged
boxing here since the Red Barry-Bob
Goodwin act last Summer, Kennedy
snapped a losing streak Of eight con-
secutive fights last night at Portner's
Arena, but. though it was perhaps the
most decisive triumph in his colorful
career, his 10-round victory over Big
Boy Rawson" hurst rather than en-
HANGED his record.
Larry Truehart, from Massachusetts,,
failed to win a round. From the third
round through the tenth Les out-of-
condition foe wobbled uncertainty on
his feet, needing only one fair-to-
middlin' blow to topple him over
Yet Kennedy, frantically seeking to
end the miserable affair, failed to con-
meet. He tugged and mauled and sue
ceeded only In aiding his rival to remain
on his feet. The Kennedy of last night
was a far cry from the rugged battler
who whipped Max Baer four years ago
or even the bruiser who belted out
Stanley Poreda a year ago.
"HE evening was not entirely de-
void of some good, however From
Newark, N. j., two-fisted light
heavyweight barged down and with
smashing knockout victory over Henry
Irving in the semi-wind-up established
himself as worthy Of headline shot
with the best Of the l75-pounderS. He
was Freddy Fccucia stablemate Of Don
Petrin, who was supposed to have
boxed Kennedy.
For four rounds Fidducia carried
Irving along, lashing out only enough
to win each round by safe margin.
In the fifth, though, Irving cut loose
with & wild right-hand swing to the
midsection, stringing Fidducia. The
New Jersey battler then tossed of the
wraps. Thirty seconds later Irving was
on the floor, counted out.
Two more substitutions did the card
no good in the preliminaries. Jimmy
Ross of Newark batted for Karl Hyde,
who was reported slightly injured IN an
automobile accident en- route. and won
a close six-round decision from Walter
Kirkwood, local light-heavy. Henry
Jeffra, rising young Baltimore feather
weight. failed to show for his four
rounder with Sammy Romano OF this
city and Harry (Kid) Groves pinch
batted. They went to draw.

WORKERS FIGHT
FUNDFORJOBS

A resolution condemning the
practice of profiting on ."dis;
tressed" government employees by
collecting enormous" sums for
futile" suits was unanimously
adopted by the District Federation
of the American Federation of
Government Employees last night
at the Hamilton Hotel.
This action followed on the
heels of charges by E. Claude Bah
cock, president of the Federation,
that workers in the New York
and Washington offices Of the
Alcohol Tax Unit of the Treasury
Department, whose status has
been undetermined since Decem-
Der /, were being solicited for do
nations" to a fund with which to
hire certain lawyers to represent
them in suits for retention of their
Jobs.
According to Mr.. Babcock, 81 500
already has been collected from
the workers in amounts from $40
to $3.50, and efforts are being made
to raise an additional $4,000.
