Dupre's WhirLWind Finish
Steals Arena Ring ShOIU

Willis Under
Punishment
MANUEL WINS
By GINO SINH

Scorning the sinister power OF
Ben Finkels famed evil eye and
the mailman tactics of Armando
Stella, Chicago's VIII all bon e
bruiser, baby-skinned Tony Dupre,
Massachusetts slugging feather
weight, right crossed and left
hooked himself a neat but not
gaudy eight-round decision and
grabbed the brass ring at Turner's
Arena last night. The patrons
went for him big.
For four rounds it was Sicilia's
fight as he whipped in solid clouts
with both hands to the body and
head and out roughed the New
Englander.
PITCHES RIGHT CROSSES
With the fifth round Dupre be-
gan pitching right crosses to the
head and left and right hooks
downstairs packed with dynamite
and Stella had trouble Weathering
the storm though he stood up man
fully under the punishment.
1t appeared for six rounds that
the thin man from New York with
the textbook stance, Eddie Alice,
would steal the show with plenty
to spare as he methodically
smashed tough Pete Galiano,
Baltimore lightweight, into a
bloody pulp but Eddie wilted hadly
in the seventh and only the beat
ing he had given Pete earlier kept
the Oriole lad from knocking
him out.
FINDS VITAL SPOT
One of Pete's lightning like leftS
found vital spot under Alzec'S
heart shortly after the seventh got
underway and took all the fight
out of him. But he still could
duck, dodge, roll and stepped
inside haymakers too cleverly for
the badly battered Galiano. A
cobra like left hand had pounded
Pete's face raw for six rounds and
during the fifth and sixth heats
Alzec's steaming right had the
Baltimorean wobbly.
Baltimore's Charlie Rondo just
couldn't pitch in the same league
with Washington'S fast improving
Golden Greek, Steve Mamakos,
and went out in the third after
being knocked down twice for
mines in the second. MamakoS
flashed a sharp left hook which
met with the fans approval.
MANUEL GETS DUKE
The card closed with one OF
those "well, what of it?" bouts in
which Baby Manuel, the slick
Cuban, now of Washington, con-
vinced one judge and the referee
that he had outpointed Ray In
gram, another featherweight also
of Washington. Manuel tried to
hit Ingram with a left hook dur
ing the eight rounds but succeeded
only in cutting Ingram'S cheek and
nose and nearly lost the fight try
ing to keep the blood flowing from
those injuries. Ingram slapped
back viciously but made only
mediocre headWay.
Swing music would have added
rhythm to the swing performance
of Johnny Quinn and Benny KeSS-
lerx in resumption of last weeks
brawl. Both lads swung from the
hip to the jaw and seemed to en-
joy it more than the fans. A left
hook made Quinn do break down
at the final bell.

 Sled Dog
 Coming from the same state as Admiral Dewey, he was always known as sea dog and rigid up- holder of the highest standards of the navy. It was Admiral Mayo who in an address at New York after the World War advocated a "lion" navy Explaining that many were pre- dieting the coming of universal peace when the lion and the lamb would lie down together, he de- clared that when that day arrived he wanted the United States to be l the lion.
 The Tampico incident occurred on April g, 1914, after a navy paymas- ter and the crew of a whaleboat from the dispatch boat Dolphin had been arrested by Mexicans when loading gasoline from ashore. As commander of the fourth division of the Atlantic fleet in those wa (CoptipiIad m Page Three)
