Gallagher Comeback
Fails 10 Impress
Brown, Old Rival
Ready to Bottle Marty,
Who Shows New Tricks
In Beating Robinson

Marty Gallagher's checkered box
ing career was of on q new and
pleasant tangent today and the pom
derous, deadly serious Foggy Bot
tom favorite faced the future with
feeling bordering on downright
exuberance. He also faced an ear
splitting challenge from that ancient
gladiator, Matte Brown, who scoffed
derisively as the rugged Irishman
pounded his way to q decisive 10
round triumph over angular Jim
Robinson last night at the ball park.
It wasn't the old Gallagher that
some 1900 fans saw capture all but
two rounds on The Stars score
sheet, but new and more energetic
heavyweight who took all the life
out of his younger opponent with
a persistent two-fisted attack. A
ring of blubber around the midrif
betrayed Martins 80 years and
limited at his lengthy absence from
the ring, but his attack deviated
enough from the old pattern to off,
set this surplus avordupois.
Marty Has New Repertoire.
We're not trying to tell you that
Marty shook off a lifetime habit of
mauling at close quarters, leaning
on the opposition and generally
roughing it up; but you'll have to
take our word for it that he used
a couple of tricks new to him that
astounded his supporters. Frequently
he stepped back from clinches and
whipped over threatening right and
left hooks, and frequently he landed
At least twice he shook Master Rob-
inson to the heels of his scarlet
socks-which reached half way to
his knees-with such punches.
Robinson fought exactly as Gala
CHER wanted him to, walking in close
enough to be grabbed in an iron-like
vice and painfully pounded at close
quarters instead of standing of and
sticking the sullen Celt with his left.
He fought fitfully, coming out of his
legthargy infrequently to snap a
brisk right hook to Marty's jaw, but
as whole he was strictly on the
defensive, trying to meet Gallagher
at his own exhaustive game of in
fighting.
But natty Nathan Brown, who used
to battle Gallagher once month at
Portner's Arena in the allegedly
good old days, viewed his old part
ner's performance with pronounced
anathema.
Matte Is Disdainful.
"You can say for me-" he said
applying torch to six-for -a-nickel
Ell Hempo, THAT Gallaghers fight
ing affects me like a lately deceased
fish. I'm through with the game
but I'd be willing to train for one
more bout with him just to whip that
big tramp. And you can say that III
take him and his manager and RAP
their heads together. OF course
don't expect to have to go back into
training because Gallagher doesn'
want any parts of me, but any time
he does I'll be ready for him.
| Matchmaker Goldie Ahearr
thought such a match was out OF the
question-unless. of course, the fan:
demanded it. We have it on goot
authority he was working overtime
today trying to stir up demand tc
meet the supply.
In the other matches Pablo Dannc
scored a surprising 8-round decision
over AL Mancini; Maynard Daniel:
knocked out Jim Wilson in IS Sec
onds of the fifth round after puz'
zling over his southpaw style; Howard
Landgraffe outpointed Joe Lipps II
six; and Al Hart pushed over another
set-up, one Gene johnson, after
minute and So seconds of the second
heat.
