SQUEEZE PLAY
BY FIGHT MOB
Commission Overlooked
Mazza's Lack of Ability
BY FRANK BUCK" ONEILL

Dy AsEA4NN ACOAA OANAAAA
In the records it will live as O
two-round knockout for Joey Arch
ibald over Jerry Mazza. joey is
the choice of New York's boxing
commission for the featherweight
championship of the world. Jerry
Mazza comes from Brooklyn. He
hasn't fought very much since
he was stabbed in a brawl some
time ago. and certainly no one
in Washington ever will know
whether or not Mazza has the
fainteSt conception of how to
fight.
A crowd of patrons who filled
most of the seats in Turner's
Arena left the building shouting
their protests against the odorif.
erous performance in the ring.
The fight fans growled that they'd
been robbed. I'm through, never
again. was the composite howl
of the boys.
If you think that boxing is worth
a little serious consideration, the
clinical records will show that the
manly art of busting beaks was
stabbed in the back last night.
Some rustic Antony who will come
to bury, not to praise, boxing will
lift the sports stained tunic and
say, Look what a rent the ruth.
less Archibald made"
AHEARN DEFENDS MATCH
Goldie Ahearn, matchmaker at
Turner's Arena, defended the
match. He denied that any of the
various forms of squeeze" en-
ployed in the fight racket had
been brought to bear upon him. He
said that he selected Mazza to
fight Archibald. And that. to be
sure, is entirely possible. Mr..
Ahearn did not explain how he
came to know of Mazza, although,
as promoter, he doubtless knows
the whereabouts of many fighters.
1t may be just a coincidence that
Jerry Mazza is managed by one
Tom Cont. It would seem that
Mr.. Conti's fighters have had
very bad luck against Archibald.
There was, for instance, that af.
fair with one Schibelli, a Cont
fighter, who was knocked out in
two rounds. Seeking revenge, per-
haps, Cont sent one Mirabeli
against Archibald, only to lose in
nine rounds. No doubt Cont
screamed, Vendetta, I'll send
MaZza after that Archibald"
Washington is known around
the circuit as Archibald'S home
town" Until recently the patent
leather haired kid was laughed
at every place but here. AL WE'LL,
Archibald's manager, guarded his
protege's interests with the ut
most care. In fact. he refused
to let Archibald fight Petey Scalzo
here, and in view of recent events
in New York, you can't blame him.
We have had enough of WE'LL and
his fighters for all time.
MORE LIVES THAN CAT
If that knockout" of Mazza
doesn't put the finishing touches
to boxing in this city, then you
need have no fear as to the future
of the sport. If it pulls through
this time, it has more lives than
q cat.
Beyond the questionable phases
of the "fight"-and it will live in
my records as entirely question
able-the affair must stand as o
serious indictment Of the District
Boxing Commission. Here we are
