Glowing Ring Future
Seen for Con,isky,

Young Heovy Who Routs
Cost Lud Not So Far
From High Ranking
BY LEWIS ATCHIsON.

Pat Comisky may not be the great
est heavyweight in the world, but he
proved his track. ability by over
taking Silent Jim Hill, the California
youngster, and reducing the quiet
one to a warped and mangled heap
of soggy protoplasm in the eighth
and final round Of their bout last
night at the arena. 1t was q tech
nical knockout, Comisky winning 80
seconds after the start of the session.
His time for the 440-yard run was
not announced.
A young giant with q handsome mug
and physique any swain gladly would
give his right arm for, Comisky set
out after his quarry in the first
round and almost succeeded in
bringing him down with one Of his
first shots-a chopping right to the
temple. He charged like a rookie
cop trying to impress the sergeant,
sending kissing left hooks in search
of a vital spot in Hills tummy, and
sledge-hammering him about the
head with hammy rights. But he
couldn't find an opening in Silent
Jim's Maginot line for the telling
punch.
Hill Manages to Go Long Way.
1t was obvious from the third
round that Hill was in no danger of
upsetting the Paterson puncher and
most Of the customers who turned
out for Goldie Ahearn's initial Of
fering settled back in the pews for
the inevitable knockout. But as
each succeeding round passed it be-
came increasingly evident that Jim
had no intention Of being flattened,
but was in there to 60 eight rounds
as advertised.
He hid behind an ENHANCEMENT of
arms, elbows, shoulders and gloves:
he clinched and held, ran and
ducked. He rolled away from Pat
rick's left and bobbed under his
right. He did everything but call
the police and still absorbed gobs of
punishment.
Comisky shook up his opponent in
the first with a right to the head
and had him bleary-eyed in the
third. He left him in a neutral cor
ner dazed and out on his feet at the
end of the seventh with Hill obvi-
ously unfit to continue. But Jim's
board of strategy hauled him in for
repairs and showed him out for the
eighth, intent on seeing him stand
up under the heavy bombardment
and it was outspokenly disappointed
when Referee Ray Bowen humanely
called a halt Hill was as soft as
unbaked bread when Bowen finally
stopped the bout.
Comisky Full Of Promise.
In winning, Comisky clearly DEM
onstrated he has the makings for a
potentially top-ranking heavyweight,
although he's far from the challenge
round. Two or more years of school,
ing would do him no harm, and his
agent. Bill DAILY, probably knows it.
Comisky's ring generalship leaves
something to be desired. His defense
isn't adequate, but he has ambition,
a good left, fair right and an abun-
dance Of physical strength. He'll be
heard from in the not so distant
future.
Phil Furr won the six-round semi
final from joey Spangler, shading
the Richmond boy in an entertain
ing bout. The decision was roundly
hooted, but Furr appeared to have
the edge by virtue of his sharper
punching and early body pounding
