Of the speediest heavyweight scuf-

beating Tow.
Stepping along like two fast
featherweights, both went at 1t in
hammer-and-tong style, but 1t was
Bob who did the Sharp-Shooting

him with a Earring left to the face
and at close quarters whipping
home solid rights to ribs.
Brescia had the edge in the big
round Of the fight, the fifth, when
after taking a thoroughgoing pum-
melting around the body and head
from Tow, Jorge brought a right
hand up from BuenoS Aires via
Rio de Janeiro and laid it on
Bob'S whiskers and Bob'S knees

his chin into Jorge's collar bone

Brescia Wins in Books
However, Judge Bob Eller and
Referee MuggSy Morris had the
Official Say-so and BreScia wins
in the books with DR.. o. U. Singer
and SO out Of each 100 spectators
disagreeing violently but futilely.
While Larry Schuck, New York
ltght-heavyweight was busy swat
ting flying bugs off Buddy Scott,
the handsome cowhand from
Texas ripped home couple of ter
rifle rights to Schuck's stomach
which made him decide in the
fourth round that the game was
too rough, and he forfeited the
rest Of the fight.
Refusing to take a backward
step or throw a punch which might
not hit its mark, Vittorio Ventura,
stocky Italian welterweight cham
pion, finally battered a game and
grim Sammy Meadows to the can
vas in the eighth round. Meadows
absorbed hooks galore around the
midsection and head, and begged
for more.
Eddie Coderri, Rhode Island
heavy, was too ring wise for Muir
ray Hammer, although Murray had
plenty of reach on him. It was
a six rounder. Coderri scored
heavily with an overhead right
and cut Kanner's ribs to shredS at
close quarters with both hands.
MercileSs Battle
One Of the goriest and most
mercilesS battles on record was
won by Roy Bailey. much tattooed
Miami middleweight, over a one
track minded Mickey Flanagan,
Of Pittsburgh. For the first three
rounds Mickey smashed Bailey's
body and face with hammer.like
rights and lefts.
Once during the third round it
appeared that Bailey would have
his head torn from his body as he
wavered, dazed and helpless, on
the ropes. With the fourth round
Bailey went to war in earnest and
head-SnappinP left jab and a
bone-cruShing right under the
heart and on the jaw had Mickey
backing up and clinching. When
ever Bailey would let up, Mickey
would be on him like a wildcat,
but Roy was the stronger and
more willing to go on at the bouts
end.
George Abrams, local middle
weight sensation, won his sixth
victory as a pro by doing every
thing but knock out Joe CLANCY,
Of Baltimore, nephew Of the K. o.
King Of a generation ago
