WARRINGTON WINS IN
RRTSTI INC AFFAIR

BRISTLING AFFAIR
In one of the best heavyweight
scraps seen in this area in quite some
time, "Tiger" Terry Warrington, of
Liverpool, N. S., and Boston, and Roy
Lazer, white, of Newark, turned in
willing and thrilling performance, to
the delight of packed house, at the
Mechanics Building last Thursday
night. Lazer sported ripping right
hand, and wasn't reluctant to throw
same, whenever the opportunity came.
Although he was outweighed by q
pounds, the hard-bifing Nova Scotian
proved very early in the bout to be
too fast and clever for Lazer. Lazer
succeeded, to the dismay of the fans,
in sending the Colored battler to the
deck, with sizzling right-hand smash
to the chin at the opening of the first
canto, for a three-count. But the
Tiger" who is a game and deter
mined warrior, arose from the mat
and took a serious stride in the affray
From that point on he had things
pretty much his way, constantly stag
gering Lazer with jolting shots to the
head and body, ripping him up badly.
Lazer blazed forth with a furious
lunge in the ninth chapter, and hung
vicious right on Warrington's chin,
the "Tiger" dropped from the impact.
but gamely staggered up at the count
of nine, and managed to hold on for
the remainder of the round He came
out as fresh as the mornings dew in
the tenth chapter, and with renewed
zest won that canto and the unanimous
decision. The score sheet gave War
rington eight rounds and two went to
Lazer.

LOUIS MEETS ALL COMERs

There is no question about the Bonn

ers to his crown. Neither Louis nor
his managers try to pick out his oppo-
nents, he merely takes them as they
come, fighting anybody. The Bomber's
camp regard Galento as a particularly
soft touch.
While the master minds are work
ing out the details for the proposed
skirmish, "Two-Ton" constantly holds
court and is willing to demonstrate to
any passer-by how he will plant his
vicious left-hook, and send Louis into
fistic oblivion. Since his third-round
kayo of Abe Feldman, Tony has as
sumed an invincible air. He promises
to be in superb condition for the Louis

LOUIS CoLLIDEs WITH GALENTo


"Two-Ton" Tony Galento, boxing's
much-publicised freak, has been named
the next ring opponent for Joe Louis,
Heavyweight Champion, after the
BROWN BOMBER meets Jack Roper
Los Angeles fighter, in a coast bout
on April 18.
Louis and Galento will decide istic
matters in Madison Square Gardens
the last week in June, probably on
Wednesday, June %. The scheduled
distance is Is rounds, for the Worlds
Heavyweight Title.
A difference in the New York State
boxing rules from those of the rest of
the Nation adds a peculiar twist to
the proceedings. Should the Bomber
meet defeat at the hands of Roper,
his setto with Galento would have no
titular significance to other than New
Workers. But in New York the bout,
in that event, would go on with the
winner declared heavyweight cham
pion of the world, disregarding Roper
altogether
The complicated, and seemingly con-
Trajectory requirements of the New
York State Boxing edifce, is the direct
cause for this crude clause in this
championship tilt. 1t recognizes moth
ing as titular under a scheduled fifteen
rounds, the California law prohibiting
anything over ten rounds. The Louis
Roper skirmish is just another work
out for the Bomber, in the eyes of the
New Workers..

MOST NIMRODS REPORT
THAT GAME Is SCARCE
Foxes, Cats, Dogs And PheasantS
Believed Responsible

The open season for shooting quail
and rabbits opened in Delaware on
Wednesday of last week, but, from
reports of sportsmen. no one would
know that il was an open season,
judging from the bags that have
been made. Hunters. in the first
place have been confronted with dry
weather which prevents the dogs
from trailing. Then again there is
not the abundance OF game that was
anticipated during the summer
months. Pheasants. foxes. stray eats
and dogs allowed To run at large at
all hours of the day and night de
stroyed many OF the young birds and
rabbits. Sportsmen contend that
foxes are the greatest menace with
which they have to contend. They
say that foxes destroy more game
than dogs running at large. Of
course. the rowing cat. they contend,
plays a part in the destruction of
both young rabbits and birds. The
solution of the problem, il is stated,
is up to the Delaware Game Com
mission. Unless the situation is CON
trolled. il is said, there will be TO
good cunning in lower Delaware.
Game is said 10 he plentiful in spots,
hut those spots are few and far be
