.GEV|NSON MEETS
135POUND TEST
Still Shy Finishing Punch
in Scoring Over Dunno.
1,973See Show.
By BURTON HAWKINS.

The cum laude punchers Of lisht-
weight ranks weren't quaking today
following the successful debut Of Lou
Gevinson as . member of the 1885,
pound clan. for steeple- -beaked Lou
Is no immediate threat to their bread
and butter. But for the first time
in his brief professional career Gev-
inson, 1t appears, may fulfn the
glowing predictions that marked his
exodus from amateur circles IA months
ago.
Gevinson snatched decision victory
over Irish Eddie Dunno last niRtt at
Turner's Arena before 1878 sardined
spectators. That he should have reg
istered q knockout Is accepted, but
1t fails to dim 4 performance which
on the whole was creditable.
Lou outboxed boy whose only ex-
cuse for being there was his smooth
ness Is . boxer. Dunne's punch has
the comparative kick Of q feeble flea,
but he has proved he can peck aceur-
ately and often. He never got started
against the Jewish lad, for Lou was
there first with more sizzling blows,
completely befuddling the youth.
Fukes Kayo Chances.
Still missing from 0evinson's ring
repertoire u the ability to nnish what
he starts. In each Of his is or 10
engagements Lou has had his man on
the hoor. but only in 3 casas could
he keep them there. BY now he has
proved the persuasiveness Of his
punch. but he merely displays q sample
OF his socking power and Is unable TO
capitalize on the groggy condition Of
his foe. Maybe that will come with
experience. but LOUIS features are mute
evidence that experience must be
gained rapidly.
Manager Matt Twomey says Lou is
ready for any lightweight in the world,
but II Dunno can do that to the mild
hammered Southwest product, perhaps
Gevinson should linger a bit before at
tempting to duck more powerful and
more frequent punches
From the outset it was evident
Gevinson was headed for victory. He
poured q steady stream Of leather TO
Dunnes head, setting him up with
rights and crossing crushing lefS. It
was left to Eddie's cheek that
crumpled Dunno to the floor for .
count Of nine, but the courageous Irish
lad crawled from the canvas and
weathered the storm. That was Gevin-
sons fault, for the bell for the fourth
round never should have sounded.

from the more effective Gevinson

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 22.-America's s
red.haired tennis ace, J. Donald Bulge,
was back today from an Australian
tour, still resolved that he won't turn
professional this year. There is too
much important work to be done.
Il have one big ambition in mind
right now and that is to help the
United States keep the Davis Cup"
Bulge said, and amended provided
I can make the team"
He said there is mot a chance" of
his turning pro this season.
Il expect to play In the Wimbledon
and United States national champion
ships, and there are other tourna-
ments ahead which would like very
much to win again.
The professional situation will Just
have to wait"
Feels Tour Was Great Help.
Asked If there was any chance of
his deserting the amateur ranks In
1899, Bulge said: Il shall not be
looking that far ahead"
Bulge returned yesterday from Aus
tralia with his doubles partner, Gene
Mako, and Dorothy Bundy and Doro-
thy Workman
Bulge said he felt the tour had been
q great help to his game.
Mako opined that his partner cant
be beaten when he wants to win"
Bulge forecast the American Davis
Cup squad would include Mako, Grant,
Parker. Riggs and himself, with the
possibility that Wayne Sabin of Hol-
lywood and Frank Kovacs of Oak
land might also get chance.
As for new doubles partner, Bulge
indicated ne had no intention Of try
ing out any other than Mako.

discovery in 1912 that he had played
few ball games for money, without
either subterfuge or knowledge that
this affected hiS amateur standing in

only the advantage of more modern
technique, and more concentration
to leave indelible marks.

decade after the period Of l923-l926,
in which he monopolized national
titles.

Chronic short enders are leaping
onto the Mann bandwagon, too. The
heavy support given Mann by these
gentry and others is an echo, Of course,
Of the Schmeling debacle and the Farr

Louis is shaken.
Joe's Handlers Confident.
The same cannot be said Of Messrs
Black, Blackburn and Roxboroush. the
Louis board Of strategy. The three
are In accord in talking OF the fight.
To them it is a part of the training
routine for the meeting with Schmel-
ing. Blackburn. particularly insistent,
says Joe will belt this fellow out, right
quick"
There has been nothing to show
that the Bomber is OF form. In train.
ing, he has been hitting his hardest,
which is mighty severe. His legs are
good and his wind excellent. He Is
assaulting sparring partners with the
old Louis steam and he apparently has
no mental worries.
This Is public knowledge and it
makes the support for Mann more
bafning. There Is nothing in the Con-
necticut fighters record to show he is
any better than . half dozen other
heavyweights OF similar age and ex-
perience.
Durable and Hits Hard.
He hits hard, but not as hard IS
Louis. His right hand is potent, but
it never has carried the viciousness of
Max Schmeling's psyon punch. He
is durable and game. but 80 far he has
been open to . left hand and this Is no
small weakness against the shufher.
Louis can snap your head back with
that left jab-ask Tommy Farr-and
he can make you sit down right quick
when he hooks with the same hand.
The fight is the hrst heavyweight
championship bout indoors in ls years,
and there should be . capacity house
