Chludenski, Mass. Boxer
Ewes Career in Pro Rdnks|
Defeats Ready
To Gain Tie
With DC.
By FRANK BUCK" ONEILL

A boy who was born to fight
stepped into the ring at Catholic
University last night, shot two
short right-hand punches to
the jaw of Andy Ready and
walked back to his corner Frank
Chludenski was his name, and
he's a first cousin of the lad who
has played such outstanding foot
ball for Catholic University for the
past several years.
Chludenski blasted the Boston
amateur team into a tie with the
District of Columbia boys. His was
the fourth victory of the night for
Boston.
Small wonder that Chludenski
Won. and this statement takes
nothing away from Ready. who
tried valiantly with one punch.
That was the only blow he had
time to lead before countering
smash pitched him on his face in
mid ring, dead to the world. The
Boston boy stands 6 feet 4 inches
in height. weighs about 225
pounds and is as quick as a cat.
The writer would like to see him
tie on the gloves with Leo Kata.
linas. He is the only amateur the
writer has seen recently who
would have a chance with the
Battling Cardinal.
WILL LEAVE AMATEURS
Those who know tell me that
ChludenSki is preparing for a ca
reer in the professional arena,
under the aegiS of Jack Conway.
Conway guided Jack Sharkey to
the heavyweight championship of
the world, and Chludenski has
more on the glove right now than
the talkative Jith had when he
started his climb to the heights.
Ready is a good boxer, regardless
of his defeat in near-record time
last night. He was confronted by
a boy who, at 20 years of age, is
stronger, faster and a better
puncher than a lot Of profession
ais. Chludenski doesn't throw a
right-hand punch. He shoots it
boom-like an expert rifleman.
There is no swinging, no clown
ing. He can jab, and they say he
has a fine left hook. He didn't
have time to use it. Chludenski
jabbed, and when Ready let 60
with a left hook, the Boston boy
countered with a smashing inside
right counter. Ready stiffened,
and another right toppled him on
his face.
They don't getup when they go
on their face, and Ready was no
exception.
SALAMONE A CLEVER KID
AS this giant was to the heavy
weight class, little George Sala-
none was to the featherweight di-
vision. He outboxed Buster Mil
Ter, the local kid, who is no slouch
in any company Salamone
stepped right out of a frame of
an old print to go into the ring.
He is a pretty boxer with a fine
sense of timing, and a sound the
ory of fighting. He can land or
counter. truly a rare combination.
Il was a street fighter" Sala-
none told your agent after his
match with Miller. II fought them
all on the street corners. You
see, I live in East Boston, and
there were a lot of good street
fighters around there. What the
hell; I had to fight or I'd have
been run off the corners. And in
football games on Sunday. Gee,
I'd have half a dozen scraps with
those kids.
I'm working now, and don't
have much time for street fight
ing. Besides, this boxing keeps
me busy. I like it. don't know
whether to turn professional OF
not. I might make good in the
ring and get lot of money. May
be I'd be unlucky. You can't tell
