means more for Lewis to lose in
thrilling fashion to Joe than to
win in tedious manner against
tho the trial horses. Surely Max
Baer came back after a four

bateable whether or not Joe will
catch up with John Henry in
four, or fourteen rounds.
) Generally the exploitation angle
of a Negro fighter being used by
prejudiced white promoters to
knock off a rising Negro boxer is
true. In this case the reference to
this possible angle of the Louis
Lewis fracas is not sound. The
fact that Lewis is not a rising
threat to white heavyweight supre-
macy. He has been beaten three

GALENTO GETS RAW DECl-
SION

st. Louis. Mo.s@Tony Galento,
the big beer Darrell mar of Orange
N. J., received the most unpopular
K. o. victory over a young fighter
ever witnessed in a local ring; at
the expense of Otis Thomas, ris-
ing young local heavyweight star.
Thomas out fought the bigger Tony
at every jump Only the rough
house tatics of fouling at every
conceivable opportunity weakened
tho clean fighting Thomas to the
extent that he was forced to con-
cede the battle after hitting the
deck in the 9th round of the nights
battle. Tony hit Young Thomas
WITH everything but the ring posts
and everywhere but under the bot
tom of his gym shoes. He fouled
him repeatedly in the 1st 7th and
9Th rounds. The others four rounds
prior to the X. o. Otis had won 2
of them by a wide margin.
So raw was Two Tony Tony's
action that the local constabular-
les drew a Gordon around the ring
during the 7th round. Thomas had
no chance at all with the outlaw
Tw oTon. The refree Walter HES
ner seemed to be in a trance till
the 7th round when he threatened
to throw the big Italian out of the
ring. Again in the 9th round Tony
Tor no appearant reason gave
Otis the works. The democratic
crowd of the city Kissed the big
one in no uncertain terms. Thomas
was an ill-advised fighter by his
handlers. He was in no condition
to continue in the 9th round but
they sent him out for the kill any
way. Local sportsmen claimed the
rettod herring was jerked out of
the pickle barrel.
Odds of 2 and one half to l was
offered on Tony to win and even
money he would stop Thomas be-
fore the limit was offered by the
local betting sharps. They were dis

trict court, and with the cour-

cause of the nature of the testi-
mony the jury after being out
only 45 minutes, found Charles

picker guilty of participating in
the rape of his daughter Irene Is

Tucker was sentenced to die in
the electric chair.
Although found guilty of par
tieipating in the sex crime against
only one daughter Irene Tucker
was also charged with forcing his
wife, Mrs. Goldie Tucker, 3S, and
another daughter, Ruby, II to

she and her daughter had taken
