Left Hook Again Is Aid
AS Dunno SmeQrs Scott
Points Score
For Gotham
PunCher
By FRANK BUCK O,NEILL

Cowboy" Howard Scott, of Wash
mgton at Turner's Arena last
night. For those who prefer the
rugged action of brawling warriors
Of the ring, the battle was too
tame to be pleasing.
For those who thrilled to the
spectacle Of a lad who looked more
like q high school student than q
professional fighter, outstanding
his slender physical resources, to
win on science against superior
power, the bout was interesting
throughout. Dunno is not a hard
puncher, and for that reason his
future in the sour science is rather
doubtful. @
Dunno carried black eye out
Of the ring. Scott was unmarked.
There were no knockdowns, and
neither boy at any time was in
serious trouble. Scott forced the
fight throughout, but despite his
aggressiveness, he clearly and un-
questienably was outboxed.
DUNNE WON FIVE ROUNDS
Dunno won five of the eight
rounds on cleaner punching. He
scored many points with his left
hand, jabbing swiftly to the face.
Dunno tented the Cowboy in
leads, stepped away and coun-
tered with a singing left hook that
landed on Scott'S jaw. When
Dunno went on the offensive he
switched from his jabbing and
hooking an effective right hand
to Seott's body. This punch was
most disconcerting to the former
range rider, and he never perfected
an adequate defense against it.
SCOTS plan Of action was SIM
pie and direct. He constantly
walked in, his right hand cooked,
and when within range, he let
60 with all his might. That same
method Of fighting has won many
q battle for Scott, but he was con-
fronted last night by a carefully
Schooled youngster, who remem-
bered the lessons learned in the
gymnasium and in previous
fights.
Almost from start to fin
iSh Dunno circled the ring,
moving to his own right, a ma:
neuver which carried him out OF
range Of Scott'S one dangerous
weapon. In the fourth round,
which was Scott's best as this
observer watched the bout, the
COW hand landed his right twice.
Dunno took the sock and fought
back with fine spirit, hooking his
left to the hand and switching
his right to the body.
PROSS ACCUSED OF QUITTING
In the eighth round Scott again
tagged Dunno with the Sunday
punch. But somehow or other,
Sunday punches were not effec-
tive on Monday night. Dunno
buried his chin behind a protect
ing left shoulder and carried the
fight to his rival. ...
Murray Kanner's swift victory
over Paul Pross, a sparring part
ner of Max S melting, was
Smirched by suspicion. Pross quit
cold in the second round after
being floored twice. Major Ernest
w. Brown, chief Of the Metropoli-
tan Police and a member of the
District Boxing ommiss ion,
ordered his purse withheld pending
investigation.
The fight started in a whirl Of
leather, and Pross knocked Kan.
ner down with q right to the head.
Kanner was up without a count,
and belted Pross with a Stinging
left hook to the face. A couple
of jolting lefts drew blood from
ProSS' mouth, which was badly
cut. In the second round Kanner
put ProsS down for nine with a
right cross, and followed this with
another right to the chin. That
was plenty for ProSs, who fol-
lowed the Continental fashion
and resigned.
Just as far as action was con-
Cerned the fight that satisfied the
crowd was between Vernon Cor.
n1ier Of New York, and Calvin
Calp, Of Baltimore. Cormier, who
has fought around the world, won
after being on the floor.
CORNER KNOCKED DOWN
Cormier was actively engaged in
belaboring Calp in the fourth
round when the latter landed a
terrific right uppercut to the chin.
Cormier spun and then went down,
his eyes glazed and a silly look on
his face. His head quickly cleared
and he was all right at the bell.
In the fifth round he had Calp
down three times and only the
bell saved the Baltimore lad.
Maynard Daniels, the local lad
who is boxing pretty well these
days. stopped Joe Casper, of Bal
timore. Casper fought nicely in
the first round, working shifting
right to the body. But as the bout
went along he forgot the body,
trying for a knockout. He was
knocked out in the third round.
Eddie Walker defeated Vincent
BonoViri in the opening bout.
The parade of champions saw
Eddie Daley, George Elbows" Nc
Fadden, Joe Dundee, Kid Sullivan,
Harry Jeffra and Benny Leonard
In the ring.
