An educated left hand which
moved and struck with cobra
like precision and deadliness pro-
claimed to some 1000 Turner's
Arena patrons last night that
willwy Irish Eddie Dunno is
on the royal road to the light
weight championship, though It's
= still only a COW path.
OF course the road winds up
the hill all the way and there
are many detours and pitfalls, and
opponents get tougher and more
clever at each turn.
However, not many will be
tougher or more willing to go
." to war than Sailor Born, Of At
lanta, Ca, and few carry a more
molar-rattling left hook or throw
it with more abandon.
DUNE GOES DOWN
Hardly had the echo Of the
first bell faded away when Dunno
found himself with his pants in
the resin, listening to the brides
twitter, Born's left hook had
caught him flush on the button
first time out. The New York
bean-pole peeled himself off the
canvas before a count and boxed
himself coolly out of the fog, his
left cutting, chopping and smash
ing into the Sailors eyes without
rest.
Never again did Born land that
textbook with as much power or
precision. DUNES right glove,
forearm, elbow and shoulder broke
its steam when it landed or else he
stepped inside and whipped home
a right uppercut or swing. But
mostly it was that serpentine left
which Tipped, Tipped, Tipped into
Born's features, diSconcerting him,
making him swing wildly and
blindly.
- HE CAN TAKE 1T
Dunno has brains, GOODNESS,
reach and last night he could take
it or, at least, dodge it, and keep
going. He has many of the quail
tiles which make a ranking fight
er. Has he enough of them to
make the grade?
That's what Benny Leonard, his
tutor, who poured words Of wis
dom, gathered in the bloody sweat
of the prize ring into the yonug-
sters ears between rounds, is trying
to find out. Last night he jotted
down a few more precious notes,
thanks to Sailor Born.
The officials agreed that Serge
: Provost, Mississippi Russian light
heavyweight, defeated Hobo Will
liamS, of Alexandria, in eight
rounds, but at this late hour most
of the spectators are still won
dering. 1t could have been called
a draw and no one would have
complained and if they had called
it off there still would have been
no complaints. Hobo carried the
fight to Serge and Serge cranked
up Volga boatman right once or
twice a round. Occasionally it
, landed.
!. BULLOCK TRIUMPHS
). When Billy Bullock found out
that Willie Davis, New York light
:,weight, didn't know what to do
when a left hand was thrown at
him, he tried to murder him with
right swings which whizzed harm
leSSly by him. However, Billy
! threw enough leftS to win the YER
! dict unanimously.
+: A right and left driven home
with pile-driving force as ALI
Baker, Baltimore middleWeight,
backed into the ropes, catapulted
Baker out of the ring onto the
! floor on the back of his neck and
gave Steve Mamakos, local Golden
Gloves champion, a oneround
technical kayo win in his profess
sional debut.
Blazing away with a terrific
right swing in the final round,
Baby Face Hatcher, of the Tarheel
State. wiped out the early lead
of Vincent Bonavari, of Wash
lngton, to annex a round-round
decision.
