Mitchell on Ton at Start.

Mitchell, the whirlwind fighter,
@'A tore into Tow at the outset and
had him wondering what it was all
about for the first two rounds. Terry
took all Bob managed to throw and
came back for more. He got that
more, too, but managed to give just a
little better. Mitchells wild swings
had Tow plainly worried in the first
two heats.
From then until the last round,
however, the fight was all Tow's. The
Alexandrian gave the New Yorker a
neat boxing lesson. With his left
1ab he showed Mitchell away every
time the latter attempted to rush in
and Mitchell did that often-and oc-
casionally Tow unleashed right that
slowed up the tough Terry.
In those rounds that found him
clearly outpointed by Tow the blond
New York fireball came close to get
ting the edge in just one. In the
sixth Mitchell bore in with all he had
and Tow was backing away most OF
the time. But Mitchell became either
too wild or too careless before it
ended and Tow for the one and only
time in the bout flashed an agrees
sive streak that prevented break in
his winning stride.

Many Question Decision.

THIS Mitchell is tough. He had to
= be, the way Tow was peppering
him. He weathered all Bob shot
through, but after his two successful
starting rounds the New Yorker looked
no more than a razzle-dazzle fighter
throwing both fists. with the hope
that one might land for finishing
touch, until the final heat.
Then Mitchell turned on more
steam and was on top of the Alex
andrian from bell to bell. But Tow
also contracted fighting fever at
the same time and the best Mitchell
could get from the squirt was drawn
round.
There we're many in the nearly
$500 at the fight who seemingly
thought with Judge Henri De Sibour
that Mitchell deserved the decision.
There was no mild razzing of the
announcement of Tow's victory. They
had been deeply impressed by the
efforts of valiant fighter. They
had overlooked the boxing done by
the other fellow, who rarely bothered
to make any pretence of being a
battler. Well, Tow wasn't.
Burke Wins Cory Prelim.
IN ONE of the prelims the ringworms
who must get their sight of gore
were well satisfied. Kirkwood Burke
and Steve Kadash, heavies, who
were out to settle a grudge. socked
one another sufficiently on beezer and
mouth to have blood flowing freely.
Starting in the third round, Burke
foored Kadash five tirues-twice for
counts of nine-and got technical
knockout when Kadash failed to come
up for the fifth.
