JAD|CK IS SET-UP;;
TILT ONLY WALTZ
Match Proves Irksome to
D. c. Fans-Lone Good Go
by Ingram, Bullock.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

TOMMY JADICK was catalogued
among the relics of the ring
today by an irritated Washing
~ ton cauliflower colony that saw
the two-time conqueror Of Tony Cam
Eoneri fade as rapidly as nah jong
and monopoly in dropping dull 10
round waltz contest to Jimmy Leto
last night at Turner's Arena.
One Of the most-feared fighters In
his division at one time and q former
world junior welterweight champion,
Jadick now definitely is through. The
jabs that once ripped and cut fighters
into ribbons have lost their sting and
his sharp weapons Of several seasons
back are but memories to those ring
worms who knew him when.
Jadick now Is attempting to fight q
World War with bows and arrows. A
mere shadow of his former self, the
Ukranian lad is gaining matches on
past performances and failing dis
mally in his effort to recover some
measure of his buried effectiveness.
Leto and Jadick merely climaxed q
succession Of sad spectacles, however,
for the preliminaries, with the possible
exception Of the Ray Ingram-Billy
Bullock argument, were equally as
disappointing.
Ahearn Relieves New York.
IF NEW YORK fans were clamoring
for the Jadick-Leto bout, they owe
. yot. of>fbo ,be fo AEo trhp,o Var 6oJdie
Ahearn for relieving them Of boring
evening. Jadick had as much chance
Of trimming Leto as an outboard
would have towing the Queen Mary
across the Atlantic.
The so-called fight did serve to
illustrate that any previous compli-
mentary remarks concerning Leto's
punching prowess must be altered
That he failed to knock out washed
up Jadick, who offered little resistance,
is a tip-of on his noggin-knocking
ability.
That Leto annexed every round Is
insignificant in view of the fact that
the human punching bag he pum-
meled at no time threatened to launch
any part OF a counter-attack. Jadick's
reputation was his only tool and that
failed to carve an impression on the
lois spectators who were stripped OF
e1,21S
The inevitable result was forecast
In the first round when the gangline
Jadick walked into q left hook that
sent him stumbling awkwardly into
the ropes. Leto repeatedly annoyed
Johnny with lefts to the face and
finally half pushed and half jabbed
Jadick to the floor for no count in the
third round.
Leto's Job Easy.
IT WAS q pitiful sight as Leto con-
tinued to pour leather into q
model T frame that still Is trying to
keep pace with modern mauling ma
chinery. It was the same story
throughout, with Jadick a wide-oper
target for Jimmy,s thrusts.
Leto finally got around to putting
Jadick on the floor In the eighth
round when he connected with left
hook to Johnny's jaw, but the Phila-
delphia antique arose without taking a
count. Jimmy peppered Jadick's red
dened face with jabs In the ninth
round and staggered him with right
to the head in the tenth before the
bell mercifully interrupted the mild
encounter.
Ingram and Bullock were RESPONSE
bic for the only scrap worth watching,
with Ingram shading his vastly I'M
proved foe to win q six-round decision.
Both fast, elusive targets, the light
weights maintained a rapid tempo, but
failed to offset the lack Of competition
in other bouts. Judge Charley Dunn
voted q draw, while DR.. o. U. Singer
and Referee Eddie Lafond declared
Ingram the winner.
Mike Marshall, imported from Balti-
more for the evening. was deported
forever, we hope, although he con-
trived to stick six rounds in losing to
Hobo williams. Alexandria middle
weight.
Chester Ruby, Baltimore feather
weight, beat tattoo on AL Dintamins s
right eye for three rounds and Dinta-
min refused to answer the bell for the
fourth, while Doug Swetnam, local
lightweight, captured four-round
decision from Bob Anderson, amateur
fsh Baltimore battler, In the opener.
