Problem for Commission.
I 1NLESS Goldie Ahearn, Bobby's
matchmaking brother, cools off
in the meanwhile, there promises to
be some bitter wrangling at the COM
mission meeting tomorrow. After the
smelly bout had been summarily
ended, Goldie chased about in cir
cles, stopping every now and then to
argue vehemently with commission
officials. the judges-Bob Eller and
Frank Schuyler, the referee-Muggey
Morris; ringside reporters; and any
fan willing to listen to him.
They didn't do right by Bobby"
protested Goldle. The referee should
have warned Levey he must fight or
be thrown out. Under no circum-
stances should they have kept a de-
cision from Bobby. He was in there
fighting. 1t wasn't his fault Levey
wouldn't fight"
1t did seem odd that Referee Morris
permitted such poorly matched af-
fair to continue. But Morris last night
insisted thai commission rules gave
him no authority to stop the en-
counter. as neither principal was in
distress. However, section so of the
commission rules reads that "the
referee has power to declare a bout
no contest 8 IT, In his opinion,
one of the contestants is badly out
classed."
Actually, the judges stopped the
fight. It was evident that Eller re-
garded the bout farce after watch
ing the aged and incapable Levey tot
ter around the ring through the first
round without landing blow or ward
ing off one, for this judge then set
tied in his chair and read a newspaper
instead of watching proceedings in the
ring.
There will be plenty for the COM
mission to thresh out at its meeting
tomorrow. But nothing it does will
be likely to help Goldstein here.
Heavies Throw Fists in Final.
IF THE winner of the final last night
meets Buck Everett here, as the
promoters OF the benefit show had
half way planned, Buck will find a free
thrower of fists in Terry Mitchell,
scaling 1871 pounds, from Providence.
Terry threw lot of fists at Joe Lipps,
Tit, Ga, lad who gained fame in
Jacksonville rings, to get six-round
decision. But Terry did not get the
verdict without struggle, for Lipps
also did q deal of fighting. It was
a hot go all the way.
In the six-round semi-final between
frankie Caras of Philadelphia, 158,
and Romeo Duchamp of Montreal, 155,
Caras got q three-way decision.
Frankie belted his opponent all over
the ring and rarely took any punish
ment.
Joe Temes, Tampa boy weighing
1857, scored unanimously over Bobby
Woods, red-headed Flint, Mich, boy
sealing 122, but not before taking a
neat boxing lesson. Woods was by far
the clever of the pair, but he could not
match Temes for ruggedness. At
that, Joe did not pick up his points
until the last three of the six heats.
Groggy Eddie Burl, 125, came back
to get draw with Lawrence Gum of
Baltimore, who fights as Young Pal
Moore. Eddie, playing for the body
continually, was fine target for the
lads right and was lucky
to have the bout called even.
Colored Heavy Breaks Ankle.
VOUNG GEORGE GODFREY, COL
l. ored heavy from Philadelphia,
was carried from the ring with
broken left ankle after 20 seconds of
milling with Jim Lamar, Washington
colored hope, in the opening encounter,
that had been billed for four rounds
Struck a glancing blow to the shoul-
der. Godfrey went down, pivoting on
his left foot as he fell. When he arose
after a brief count it was seen that his
foot was virtually at right angle to his
leg. He was removed to a hospital,
where it was found he had suffered a
dislocation and fracture of the ankle.
Stumpy Jacobs, 1881, Of Norfolk
Johnny Tooney, 1854, of
Newark in six rounds. In the fourth,
Jacobs with right to the chin sent
Tooney down for a count of eight.
Smiling Sammy Williams, 157,
Washington colored boxer, should now
be convinced Young Joe Louis, 160-
pound Baltimore colored husky, is the
better. Louis got a six-round decision,
his second over Williams in eight days. |
