CUMMINGS COPS RING 'DUKE' FROM
 JOHN D0UCW|LL0
Main BOuters Put on Good Fight; Ciarlo Wins Close
 GO-Prelims Good

Harder hitting and a shiftier att tack in the last two rounds won for Bobby Cummings, able New York negro 8 merited decision over John ny Dougwillo, the Marlboro, Mass, mauler who got a lucky TKO win over Cummings two weeks ago. The latter, by his victory last night earned himself another main bout next week against much tougher op- position, the slugging southpaw from Meriden, George Pape.
 Dougwillo, in good shape last night, started fast and by use of a good left jab, kept on top of Cum mings, who was missing his punches badly, poor timing allowing Doug- willo to earn an early lead. However, when Cummings did find the range he raked his opuonent with left hooks and hard right hand shots to the head landing enough in the last two rounds to earn Referee Louis Kid Kaplan's decision. A paying crowd of 1922 was on hand aug mented by about 150 cuff" custom CTS and charter members of the Fence Climbers Club. Both boys weighed IA pounds.
 Hard Fight
 Tommy Ciarlo, Waterbury who is rapidly making the welterweight di- vision, won nod over Francis Sharpe, New Rochelle battler but not before he was extended to the well-known limit. Sharpe, taller than Ciarlo and a good boxer block ed many of Ciarlo-s early blows, but Tommy got to him in the third round with some roundhouse right hand shots to the head that scored for the local boy, who also fioored Sharpe in the second round for a nine count. Sharpe scaled IA to 140 for the chunky Ciarlo, whose tim- ing was not too good.
 Eric Burke, the Oakville colored boy with the Swedish-Irish mon- icker tired enough in the third and final round round to get draw ra- ther than teh decision over Danny Rado of Naugatuck, 168 in as nifty a bar-room brawl as ever graced a boxing ring.
 Both boys were all over the ring like the canvas and threw enough "haymakers" to thrill every farmer from here to Minnesota, though Burke was on his feet at the finish without a knockdown as Rado ral- lied gamely after a second round knock down to win the third round | ond oy1 ayov, Ctot1hay, locicinp Other Bouts
