The Washington times., 1935-07-16

- Washington
Kirk Miller fight con-
gregations, stood up only
two minutes against tn 9
sharpshooting Harry Dub
linsky, Chicago H Q brew W,
who ranks among the better
welterweights of the nation.
It was Wilson's fourth
knockout Of his professional
career, and he lost no time
challenging Dublinsky for a
return engagement.
There were those among the
2,442 turnStile CHECKERS who
thought Wilson, who was only
down, but not out, at the end,
received what might be called
q short count at the hands of
Referee Charley Reynolds, one
Of Washington's few competent
resin arbiterS.
Squatting and Blinking
Wilson, who was squatting on
the floor, frog-fashion, blinking
his small irridiscent eyes at the
hot, white canvas and listening
to Reynolds dolefully tolling off
the seconds as Timekeeper Pat
O'Connor pounded out the count
with monotonous bangs just be-
hind him, was up at 91a sec
onds, but not quite reaching his
full stature by the time 40"
was intoned.
Bob set himself to resume
the milling when Reynolds
spread-eagled his arms before
the local red-head, herding him
to his corner in a gesture which
made many suspect the fight
was over.
Their suspicious were not un-
founded, despite the jeering from
the stands where the consensus
Of opinion seemed to be that
Reynolds had been a bit quick
on the trigger, which undoubt-
edly he was.
The Comeback Kid
Regardless of the technicality
involved in the grotesque ending
of the bout, Wilson was deprived
of what on many occasions has
proven the wedge by which he
has gone on to win.
The lad is notorious for stag
ing comebacks after being ap'
parently all tuckered out. Given
the advantage Of the fraction
of a second which was still his,
before he was shooed to the
corner by the hair-trigger ref
cree, Wilson might have been
able to right his floundering
craft and steamed on to a bet
ter accounting of himself.
The brevity Of the main bout
with its unorthodox ending, toll.
Grated and condoned by the box
ing board sitting snugly and con-
tent in the refuge of their ring
side seats, was somewhat atoned
for by a rip-snorting six-round
Semi-final in which Phil Fur
saw almost as many Of frankie
B1air's gloves flying through the
air, as he did gnatS, maytlies
and moonbeams.
Hit From Away Back
The semifinalists gave the
fans one of those old-time dock
hand melees, wherein the partic'
ipants reach down and hit each
other with the tombstones OF
their forbears.
Furr's left was flashing as Of
old, but lacking its former po'
tency. He has not been. himself
In his last two fights wherein
the spirit seemed willing but the
flesh somewhat futile.
On the other hand Blair
proved a veritable nuisance to
FUR, in every way, staying on
top Of him throughout, taking
what Phil had to offer and re-
paying with interest far above
that in vogue even by the
uSurers Of old.
Blair's left had Fur away off
balance and his right crashed
to Pills body and head with de-
liberation. purpose and effect.
Bobby Goldstein shook off
the robes of amateurism and
scored a one-minute Knockout
over Joe Barry, in one of the
preliminariS. In another, Young
Joe Louis won four-round de.
cision from Sammy Williams,
while yet another warm-up
bout, a six-rounder, saw Bill
Temes dispose Of Gener Barrett.
Paris APIECE defeated Paola Villa
in six rounds in an afterpiece
to the main bout. They fought
two rounds and scuffed four.
