Heavy Loses Caste as Well
as Fight in lngIorious
10-Round Tilt.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

w WHAT politely Is referred ID
A as intestinal fortitude, thai
wv prime requisite of every
fighter who hopes some day
to crash the select circle of fistianaI
elite, apparently is lacking In Al De.
laney, an otherwise promising lad, whc
knows how to win graciously but. wher
losing, looks for the easiest alley Of
escape.
AL dropped a 1o-round unanimou,
decision TO Buck Everett, District
heavyweight champion, last night al
Griffith Stadium for his first loss in
seven fights mere, but what probably
will affect the Buffalo lads future
more Is the fact that he lost the respect
Of the majority Of l ,49S paying patrons
Delaney would have been forgiven
for waging rough fight, since Everett
frequently of balance, is a rough
tough, wild-sWinging glove tosser. A
lost three rounds on fouls. however
and could have been called down or
at least two other occasions.
Guilty of heeling, tripping, wrestling

went SO far as to reach around the
neck Of Referee Denny Hughes, whc
was parting the fighters, in the ninth
round, to land an illegal left hook tc
Everett'S unprotected face.
Bucks Title Not Jeopardized.
RUCK'S no better, but certainly nc
worse, than the Everett who va.
Gated this neck of the woods last Sep.
tember With the elimination of De.
laney as a challenger for his crown
Bucks championship appears safe
Marty Gallagher has refused to meet
him and, with the possible exception OF
Billy Nichy, that comprises the present
local field of heavyweight talent.
Despite the fact that Everett cap.
tured eight rounds, Delaney poket
enough left hooks to Bucks body tc
maintain interest in the proceedings
The contrasting mental makeup OF
the pair, while only so per cent com.
mendable, also added to the scrap. Al
wilted like a week-old orchid when
smacked solidly, whereas Everett
bounced back with both fists when
stung
With the exception of the first and
fourth rounds. Everett had complete
control over the situation. Al captured
the first heat with a blistering body
attack, but dropped the second and
third cantos as Buck chopped stiff
right hands to Delaneys chin.
Delaney's most potent punch, a siz.
zling sock to Bucks midsection, fooret
Everett for no count in the fourth
session, but Al apparently shot his
bolt with that blow.
AL Groggy From Body Blows.
As BUCK beat a merry tattoo
on Delaney's reddened stomach
throughout the remainder of the battle
Al staggered back to his corner on nc
less than three occasions with blinking
eyes that resembled the optics of SICK
puppy.
Mello Bettina, one of the most clever
light-heavyweights to show here in
recent years, belted out a six-round
decision over Charley Loughran, who
bears no flstic resemblances to his
DrOtner tommy, 1Ormer IuleE o1 LlN
175-pound division.
In a heated encounter that preceded
the main event, Stanford Carrier, local
welterweight, outpointed frankie Ca
wanna of New York in another six
rounder. The decision, which was
booed. would have met the same fate
had Cavanna been declared the winner.
1t was the fastest scrap on the card.
Other bouts saw Tony Stanzey,
Philadelphia featherweight, gain six
round decision over Doug Swetnam of
Washington and Battling Untz trim
Wild Bill Howell in an opening four
rounder.
The spectators paid 81 ,S48 to witness
the face lifting.
