BYRON LOSES TO CALLAHAN
IN BRISTLING BRAWL

In one of the feature contests of
ten-rounds, presented by Sergeant
Eddie Mack of the Argonne A.A., at
Mechanics Building, Thursday night,
Andy Callahan, 1873, of Lawrence re-
ceived a clipped-decision over Young
Byron, 141 IL, sensational Colored
welterweight of Roxbury. This setto
was a sizzler all the way and was
the termination of each round. Byron
appeared at his best against veteran
of many tough ring battles, forcing
the battle its gruelling route. Gala
han had threatened to stop the hard
plugging Byron early in the battle,
but before the first canto was half
over, the Lawrence battler realized
that he had talked himself into tor
rid fight. Byron sailed into his oppo-
nent in the first canto, failing him
with lefts and rights, la Armstrong,
forcing him to break ground fast.
Callahan had trouble landing a zip
ping right hook the head and long
left to the body. Byron's technique
worked to good advantage against the
cagey porksider. Byron slowed-up

Callahan scored with lefts and rights

eighth round spurts. Both scrappers
mixed things in lively fashion in the

ued to move in with rights and lefts

so. BERWICK, Mem the feature
bout of six-rounds held at the Palace
Theatre here Friday night, John
Henry, 144, Boston Colored welter,
punched out an impressive win over
his heavier opponent, Billy Wilson,
white, $50, Portsmouth. The rugged
Henry punched his foe from bell to
bell, sending him to the canvas eight
times from the impact of terrific
rights and lefts to the body. A right
uppercut to the chin dropped the game
Portsmouth fighter in thrilling 9th,
knocking him partially out of the ring.
Wilson met Henry in the first with
stiff left jabs to the mouth and rights
to the body, but the sepia mittster off
set this attack by shifting to bob-and-
weave tactics, moving out of range of
the Portsmouth's boys damaging
blows.
Jackie Corbin, 125 Roxbury sepia
featherweight, continued his winning
stride as he jabbed and hooked his
way to a technical kayo over Young
Maloney, white, Portland, in the first
round. Using a long pecking left jab
to good advantage, Corbin followed
up with shart right-cross that felled
his foe three times during the initial
frame, and caused the towel to be
thrown in by Maloney's aids as to-
ken of defeat.

JACOBS DICKERING FOR
ARMSTRONG-GARCIA BOUT

NEW YORK-A difficulty has sud-
denly overtaken a proposal in Cali
fornia to pair Ceferino Garcia, recog-
nized on the two coasts as world
middleweight champion, and Henry
Armstrong, welterweight champion Of
the world, in Los Angeles on Feb. %
for the 160-pound title. If the pro-
posed bout does not materialize, Pro-
moter Mike Jacobs may get the oppor-
tunity to stage the much-sought bout
in the East.
George Parnassus, manager of Gar
cha, is due to arrive here next week to
discuss terms for middleweight title
event for Garcia. Armstrong, next to
Joe Louis the greatest box office mag
net Promoter Jacobs has at his COM
mand, is scheduled to defend his well
ter title Thursday night against Pedro
Montanez in Madison Square Garden.
If present plans go through he will be
in there battling Garcia for the New
York California version of the middle
weight crown before the indoor season
concludes. Armstrong has repeatedly
limited that he would surrender his
welterweight crown to fight for the
middleweight title. This procedure
would be necessary under a commits
sion which bans bouts between cham
pions in different divisions, ruling
aimed at discouraging the idea of be-
ing a double or triple title-holder.
Armstrong might reclaim or regain
the 147-pound crown if he failed in a
bid for the 160-pound crown.

short right smashes to the chops.
Jason retaliated by spilling Dupree in
the second frame for a short count,
with a wild right to the jaw, Dupree,
however, came back stronger than
ever after the knockdown and had
Jason hanging on the ropes at the end
of the round. The third saw Dupree
