For seventeen years overlin has
taken his nights and his fun where
he found Them, During the seven
teen years he has had, according 10
the record books, l7S fights, And,
during the seventeen years, by his
own admission, he has had $4,000
drinks.
Now a man can't have that many
drinks without learning something
about fighting, and OVerlin evident
ly remembered everything he had
ever learned, He used 1t all against
Garcia, who Is q younger man, a
stronger man, O better conditioned
man, and harder-hitting man.
From where I was sitting Overlin
seemed to have o punch for every
kind Of drink he'd ever had. His
left hand was q Stinger. His right
hand was q rock and rye, His up
percut was q gin sling, and when
ever Garcia threw his famed belo
punch he used an effective d'aiquiri
duck, In short, Overlin proved that
he was not Green (River) In the
ring, and knew lot about old fash
ions,
Before you get the mistaken opin.
ion that I, too, know something
about liquors, perhaps ! had better
dry up and give q technical descrip-
ton Of the fight,
No Kayo
IT was another triumph of the
boxer over the sluggey, Garcia was
one to two favorite because he
carried q knockout punch In his
right hand, Everyone In the slim
crowd knew oil he had to do To
win by kayo was to land Just once,
Overlin knew this too and his skill
In avoiding such ha, Z sning was
what made the fight II. eresting,
He kept Garcia off balance with
q left hand, He tented him out OF
position by cute movements of his
body, eyes and feet, He slapped
him, cuffed him, and, on those rare
occasions when he was hurt, quick
ly and carefully tied up the Fill
pino so he could not get set for q
punch, When he got tired-and he
reached this unfortunate stage as
early as the third round-he con-
cealed it was a skill that pulled the
wool over the eyes of the slow
thinking champion. Boxing has
never had a champion whose mental
processes were quite as slow as those
Of Garcia. His refleXes responded
as slowly as the buds Of a century
plant to the sun, and from the time
he cooked his lethal right hand I'M
til the time he loosed 1t a spectacle,
almost had time to go into the lobby
and have a soft dring and sand
Wich.
Garcia was like fast ball pitche,
without a ball. He would &c
through all the motions of throwing
his right and then stop. All Of q
sudden. can imagine him wax
ing up today, looking down at his
right fist and saying:
Hell I'm going out and hit that
guy with this"
No Moral
I'd be the last person to say that
Overlin won because he refused IL
keep training. and because he drank
immediately. My guess is that he
won despite his playboyfulness. Hac
he been in condition he might have
stopped the dull-minded Filipino
long before Is rounds were com.
pleted.
But let us stop trying to find q
moral.
There scarcely ever Is one TO bs
found in a prizefight.
Boy, bring me vanilla Tom Col.

Boston, May 24.-CUP)-A fight
fans fancy, an underdog, attempts
tonight to become the fourth chal-
lenger OF the month to dethrone a
world champion, but his chances are
considerably less than any Of his
three predecessors.
The shortender Is Ralph [Ripper)

clashes with world welterweight

round title bout at Boston Garden,
Armstrong, the nations swiftest
puncher, rules q 1913 favorlte to

The Sepia superman who once
held three titles and the 25-year-
old challenger, come-back-bound AZ
ter q long lay-off caused by boils,
have been pronounced In top shape
by their handlers. zannelli prob

vantage into the ring,

In q return bout June 10 at New
York before taking on other OPP
ponents. Jacobs will be at the
ringside.
Three Champs Beaten
The third champion OF the merry
month OF May toppled only last
night when Ken Overlin won the
New York. California version OF the
middleweight title by deeisioning
Ceferino Garcia. Previously light
weight King Lou Ambers lost to Lew
Jenkins and featherweight titlist
joey Archibald fell before Harry
Jeffra.
But the chances OF on upset OF
even the bout going the distance TO-
night seem slight. Armstrong, vet
eran OF about 800 amateur and pro-
combats, will shoot for q Knockout
from the start to avoid the posi-
bility OF further injury 10 his
Scared left eye, his only mark az
ter II years In the ring,

tactics and experience should ter

seventh round.
Zannelli, n native of Utica, N. Y,
has won about three quarters Of his
So professional bouts by the knock
out method. He has lost five fights
but never has been kayoed and
floored only once for ,lo-count.
Since he stripped Barney Ross Of
the welterwe!ght diadem two years
ag In New York, Armstrong has
defended the title 10 times, more
than the combined total Of the ten
men who preceded him.
