james H. Kerby, Arizona secre-
tary of state, apparently defeated
in last Tuesdays primary election
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination, today formally chal-
lenged the vote and demanded a
recount
eve will have recount" Kerby
said. Il am forced reluctantly to
the conclusion that there has been
such an erroneous count of the
votes in the primary that the per-
sons purporting on the face of the
informal or newspaper returns to
have received the nomination as
the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor did not in fact receive the
highest number of votes"
Kerby indicated he would chal-
lenge the voting boxes as they were
presented to him for certification

DECISION FOR
ABRAMS SCORED

George Abrams today has the
double distinction OF having his
cake and eating it-something
the graybeards have maintained.
from way back when, is impos.
sible. The cake in young Mr.
Abrams case is experience against
a two-fisted, smart, rugged boxer
who could occupy a chair Of learn
ing in the University Of Hard
Socks.
The eating part represents the
decision which Abrams won from
Tony Ciaccio, of NorristoWn, Pa,
but take it from us, the verdict
gave some 81, 400 worth of Gus,
toners at Turner's Arena last
night indigestion.
CROWD DISAPPROVES
In fewer words, George won but
he didn't deserve it. Ciaccio did
everything George did, but better.
The astounding verdict brought a
AOoL VI NA4ouPP4 ONo4 4AOAA4 OlAC 4dAAo
who thought Ciaccio earned the
victory, and at worst draw.
The turning point in Abrams
favor was the vote of Referee
Charles Reynolds who penalized
Ciaccio in the second and fourth
rounds for fouling. According to
Reynolds, Ciaccio was guilty of
hitting on the break, butting and
one low punch.
The verdict Of the two Judges
was split. Frank Schuyler voted
for Tony and Bob Eller favored
George. Reynolds said he believed
the fight was even, making allow
anceS for Ciaccio's alleged infrac-
tionS, until the last round which
he scored for Abrams.
The Times score sheet showed
five rounds for Ciaccio and three
for Abrams. A poll Of reporters

today threatened to bar four
Southern Conference champions
and two of Catholic University'S
mainstays as well as approx
mately 80 per cent Of the nations
outstanding college boxers.
The "joker" in the rules Is the
clause which states in part: mo
entrant shall have participated in
public boxing contests with the ex.
ception Of interscholastic or
recognized NCAA competition.
Also excluded is participation IN
Olympic tryouts."
FIRST TIME
This rider to the regulations ap-
pears for the first time this year
and was instituted, it is believed,
to keep competition on a more
even basis and bar boys who have
clause which states in part: mo
had several years experience in
amateur ranks.
The Southern Conference cham
pions definitely affected are Joe
Fisher, 135 pounds, North Caro-
lima; Danny Farrar, 145 pounds,
Duke: Hugh Rogers, heavyweight,
The Citadel, and Maryland'S
Benny Alperstein, present National
intercollegiate lightweight cham
pion, who won the conference
featherWeight title last week.
Fisher is a veteran of the anna
teur ranks and has fought anna
teur bouts, outside the prescribed
college competition, all over the
country. Farrar was National Am
ateur Athletic Union champion in
1884. Rogers has engaged in
many exhibitions" forbidden
under the present rules) through
out the South. Alperstein com.
peted in Baltimore's Golden
Gloves tournament.
TWO AFFECTED
|
Those affected from Catholic
University are Fred Slant, 1866
FOUNDER, and Jay Turner, light
heavyweight. Slant won the Nor.
folk Golden Gloves title in 1886.
However, he was competing in
Olympic tryouts and Eddie La
Fond, Cardinal boxing mentor, be.
lieves Slant did not violate the
rules. Turner has engaged / n
Boys Clubs bouts and Golden
Gloves in the District.
Under the strict Interpretation
Of the rule, both Slant and
Turner, as we'll as the above-men-
toned Southern Conference cham
p1ons, would be ineligible. LaFond
has sent complete record Of both
Of his boxers to college authorities
and is confident the rule will be
set aside or amended.
The full significance Of the
clause is noted when other col.
legeS are considered. In the Mid
west and North, for instance, there
is often little intercollegiate com.

enter outside amateur contests
without college sanction. Most
