Underhanded Terror
Promises Savo|di
Mean Mat Tilt

A rough time is promised Jumpin'
Joe Savoldi by the Golden Terror,
a masked rassler and noted villain,
who invades Washington for re-
turn match with the former Notre
Dame all-America at Turner's Arena
Thursday night.
The Terror, like many now cam
paigning around the mat circuit.
doesn't provide much In the way of
real rassling, but his rough and un-
derhand tactics have won for him
the No. spot in the hatred of pew
holders. The customers turn out in
force when he is booked, hoping to
see him dismembered and generally
mauled around.
Exciting Entertainment.
On several occasions here they
have threatened to take affairs in
their own hands when the Terror's
opponents faltered. Two weeks ago
this was attempted, with Walter
Grey, who hates villains with deep
hate from the second row, and Bill
Lewis, Richmond promoter, leading
an attacking wave Of aroused fans.
That evening really was the best one
from an entertainment standpoint
the rassle arena had seen for many
months. Savoldi and the Terror
were matched. The Terror had
brought along his manager, masked
and dressed like himself, and when
the going got rough the manager
hoped into the ring to pull Savoldi
away.
Close to Free-for All.
Joe took care of him, and in the
meanwhile several ringsiders, led by
Grey and Lewis, were entering the
ring. Grey was knocked out by the
Terror, and Lewis was sheved away.
Jules Strongbow and Hank Metheny,
both rasslers, but at the moment
acting as private individuals for the
civic welfare, subdued the Terror,
and Referee Bennah Bortnick
awarded the bout to Savoldi.
But Promoter Joe Turner alleges
that Joe wanted to down the Ter
ror in the approved fashion, hence
the return affair Thursday night.

At that it was a great fight. Vet

since Dempsey and Firpo met. These
two big boys moved in and around,
tossing and taking punches like a
couple of fast featherweights. They
stood toe to toe, trading punches,

Boyd's Win in Great
Scrap With Everett
Marred by Referee
Aids in Defeat Of Buck
In 9TH by Preventing
Clearing Of Wound
BY GEORGE E. HUBER.

OOIne 1uSS is going 10 De raised
and rightly-around the Boxing
Commission Office today about a
bit of poor officiating last night that
marred what otherwise was the best
scrap displayed here since, or even
before, boxing was legalized.
Idaho Bill Boyd, Jack Dempsey S
protege bidding for the heavy
weight title, won technical knock
out over Washington's Buck Everett
in the seventh round, aided by bit
of bungling on the part of Referee
Harry Volkman. Boyd might have
won anyway. He had the edge in
youth, stamina and everything else,
except fighting heart, over the local
veteran, but Volkman inserted him.
self and his poor judgment between
the sixth and seventh rounds to
make a certainty out Of what then
was just possibility.
Not Given Proper Time.
At the end of five rounds all was
even according to the lights above
both fighters corners. During the
sixth Boyd got the upper hand and
two stinging uppercuts cut Everett S
mouth and opened up an old cash
over his right eye, and he was bleed
ing when the round ended. During
the rest period when sgd Fishel,
acting . as Everett's manager in
Jimmy Erwin's absence, worked to
stop the bleeding, Volkman pushed
him aside and called the ringside
doctor over to inspect the cuts.
A referee is supposed to see that
a fighter is not in dangerous condi-
ton when he comes out, but his
authority does not extend to stop
ping his seconds and handlers from
trying to halt bleeding. Fishel was
kept away until the inspection was
over and Everett had passed muster,
and by that time As of the so preci-
Gus seconds allowed a handler to be
in the ring were gone, and Fishel
could do nothing to help Buck, not
even wipe the blood off his face in
the time remaining.
Everett Displays Gameness.
Volkman should have had the in
spection made all right, but he also
should have had the watch stopped
to give Fishel time to work on his
boy. AS it was, Everett came out
for the seventh round still bleeding
and splitting blood and was an easy
mark for the young Boyd. His
heart kept him wading in, however,
but he couldn't see, and he couldn't t
stand the pace, and half missed
looping left, that otherwise wouldn' t
have stopped flyweight, dropped
him to the floor for a count. He was
up with a gallant effort at 10, but
he was blind and groggy, and Volk-
man rightly at that point stopped
the fight and gave it to Boyd in !
