H0UL|HAN RALLY WINS N0D OVER DICK TURCOTTE.
Bout Thrills 2,7OO Fans Buff Beats Elm; Perrin
 Held Even

It takes a real fighting Irishman to come back from the verge of a knockout suffer a knockdown in one round, have an eyebrow broken open in another, and then come back to win. Yet that's exactly what daring Danny (N,ever Say Die) Houlihan of Newark, N. J., did last night to electrify more than 2,6O0 paid pa- irons who cheered the winner to an echo over the local boy, Dick Tur- cote, who had Houlihan out in the first round, but was nearly that way himself in the third and final beat.
 Popular Victory
 Some thought the decision of Ref cree Bill Conway should have been a draw, but the Houlihan victory pleased of 10 fans who have be- come weary of seeing Turcotte belt out opponents about as fast as they can be dug up. for him. Houlihan, who weighs IA, and works in a subway, against 140 for Turcotte, the fighting Frenchman, inmedi- ately agreed to give Dick a return bout, as soon as the cut over one of his eyes heals. Therefore, when and if they meet again, the local lad should at least outpoint his fearless opponent, for when Tur- cote wants to box, he is very dif- ficult to catch up with.
 Last night Dick won the first round going away with a knock down from a stomach sock that kept Houlihan on the floor for g and 3-4 seconds, then cut Danny's eyebrow with a punch in the sec- ond, but from that point on, Houli- han came back like a Jap bombing plane and finished much the strong CT of the two, which is why he got the nod from the referee. Their next meeting will sell out the show as sure as shooting.
