FAIL To GET
FULL CARD
By FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL
Times Staff Writer

Times Staff Writer
Some $50 of the most patient
folks in all of the world, repre-
sentatives Of Washington'S fight
fans, left the Auditorium last
night wondering whether the
fight game in this city is run
for the benefit OF the promoters
or for the public.
For the second show in sue
cession a bout was called off
This time it was because Deacon
Owens had the grippe, or the
pip, or something. In any event
he couldn't fight. 1t seemed thai
when owens weighed in yester'
day afternoon there was no Box
ing Commission doctor on hand
to examine him. The good medi
cos showed up at the Auditorium
and discovered that the fighter
had a fever.
Let MedicOS Earn Fee
It never occurred to Charley
Cornell to provide for an emer
gency bout, and the crowd took
another gypping. The promoters
took one more SWipe with keen
axe at the neck of the goose that
produces the golden egg. A few
more violations of public trust
and there won't be any boxing
to cause them any concern what
ever.
Lest it be charged that your
agent is scolding without offering
anything constructive, the Sugges
tion is made that the overWorked
doctors of the Boxing Commission
be in attendance when boxers
weigh in and that the fighters
be examined. At best, these goings
over of warriors are perfunctory
but the medicos should be there
That should be written into the
law. And they should be at the
ringside in the night to again
examine the fighters, or act in
case of emergency.
The promoters should be com
PEELED to provide an emergency
fight of four or six rounds.
A Hungarian Bison
When the fans got over wonder
ing if they were ever going to
get protection from promoter and
commission, and they were sold
out on both sides last night. they
remained to cheer a great buffalo
sticking with Buck Everett, the
noble Cherokee warrior, stabbing
the Hungarian bison, AL Boros
All of this happened last night
and the Cherokee won.
In the first bout of the night
Ray Ingram knocked out Augie
Kroll in the second heat. A right
to the chin was the finisher.
The second act found Knockout
Riley, a left handler, batting the
ears off Ray Manley.
Harry Jeffra, the sensational
kid from Baltimore, peeped over
his maulerS at Mike Tardugno, a
local light, in a Six-rounder. JET
fra scored a knockdown in the
first round, but Mike got up and
was coming fast at the end. He
managed to get draw.
