A. A. U. Golden Gloves team
championship today, following an
other hectic evening Of battling in
the semi-finals Of the amateur box
ing classic in the Catholic University
gymnasium. The Brookland arena
will be dark tonight, when the sur
viving battlers rest preparatory to
stepping into the ring tomorrow for
the finals in the eight divisions rang
ing from 1l2 pounds to the heavy
weight class.
The Jewish Community Center,
placing only three erappers in the
finals, is conceded an outside chance
of winning the Fred A. Hartley team
prize. but the rest Of the clubs are
out Of the running. The Northeast
Boys Club and the No. Precinct
Boys Club Of the Metropolitan Police
has one representative each left in
the tourney, while the other two are
unattached entries. One title, the
lightweight crown, already belongs to
the Olympic Club. because both of
the finalists, Harry Thompson and
Willie Feary, are members Of the
team.
Coughlin Beats Strickler.
THE Jewish Community Center's
big chance faded last night
when Bob Coughlin of the
Olympic team outpointed Dick Strick-
Ter of the j. c. c. in a hard-fought
heavyweight battle that was decided
on a split decision. Judge Joe Aron-
off gave it to Strickler, but he was
overruled by Referee Eddie La Fond
and the other judge. Frank Schuyler.
Previously one of the Olympic's S
standouts, George Pickeral, had bowed
in an upset to Henry Peterson of the
J. c. c. in an 118-pound semi windup.
Pickeral was one Of the two 1884
champions left in the running. The
other. Steve Thompson, has yet to
lift a glove. Thompson, winner Of
the middleWeight title last year, but
now competing in the welterweight
division, received forfeit last night
from Dick Cleves, a stablemate in the
Olympic Club. He also advanced in
the first night Of competition by a
forfeit.
Bobby Rawson, who will meet
Thompson tomorrow for the 147-
pound championship, also advanced
to the final round by forfeit, receiv-
ing his from a J. c. c. teammate,
Max Miller.
Stage Real Battle.
M TIT haet bo,,t ~ Glow, .bo NO
card which exceeded even the
first night of battling in excite
ment, Danny DeRosa of the North
east Boys Club moved into the final
of the 112-pound class by knocking
| out Glenn Mains of No. Precinct
in the fourth round.
Mains. who had sat up through the
night previous with one of his four
children. who is suffering from pneu-
monia, knocked DeRosa down once in
the second round and again in the
fourth, but he caught a stiff right to
the stomach as he charged in for the
kill after the second knockdown and
was stretched out for the count.
The Tardugno brother fight in the
l26-pound class failed to materialize
when cut over Billy Tardugno's eye
was adjudged by physicians as too
serious to risk in bout Billy then
forfeited to Brother Joe Tardugno.
