Jealousy Causes Break
Of Former PoIs; Arena
Scraps Best Yet
By LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

BY LEWIS +. ATCHlSON.
Once upon time Chris Dundee
managed both Ken Overlin and
Tony Cisco. They trained together,
boxed together, lived together, ate
of the same plate and virtually
were brothers under Dundee's
watchful eye and tender ministra-
ton. Thus, it was a surprise to
hear the boys were mad at one
another and signed to settle their
grudge next Tuesday at Turner's
Arena.
The match had q tinny sound
until We had a word with Archie
Pirolli last night and got the low
down from that gentleman. Pirolll
was here to see that Gene Buffalo
got over Manuel Villa in one of
three 8-rounders that featured last
right's program. Archie is from
Philadelphia, now Cisco's head
quarters, and his story sounds au-
thentic.
"Chis managed Tony Until about
five months ago." he began, "and
then something happened-you
know how something always is
happening to these fighters and
their managers. So he comes to
me and wants me to do his business
and I says why? I don't like
Dundee any more he tells me. He's
got Abrams and Overlin and he's
showing them out in front. He
can't do me no good and I want
a manager who'll pay some attention
to me-
More Angles to Feud.
Besides" Archie continued.
there was some financial trouble
between them, Chris gave Tony
some money to open a tavern and
they had an argument about that.
SO Cisco came to Philadelphia
lookin' for a manager. When
wouldn't take him-I got my hands
full-he went to Jake Freedman and
Jake took him. Freedman is pretty
close to Herman Taylor. that's the
promoter, and Tony's been doing
we'll under him and he's satisfied.
"Of course. Dundee's done all right
with Overlin, too. so I guess he
don't care. But Cisco hasn't for
gotten the bum desl he thinks Chris
gave him. On top of that there's
a personal ferd on between him and
Ken. Why? I dunno. I know it's
on. though, because Taylor tried
70 get the match in Philadelphia
and Dundee wouldn't hear of it.
We were all surprised to hear it
was in here-althougn I guess
Dundee gets taken care of pretty
we'll, doesn't hep"
We wouldn't know about that, but
II Overlin and Cisco kick up as
much fun and excitement as the
boys did last night it will be a
rousing argument. The card was
the best concocted by Matchmaker
Gabe Manendez since his association
with Turner and there was enough
action to spread out over at least
three ordinary cards. The boys
even threw in knockdown of
Referee Ray Bowen for good meas
IRE.
There was only 1888 in the till but
both Turner and Menendez were
satisfied. as the show obliterated the
last foul trace Of last weeks fiasco.
Mcdowell Drops Spangler.
Roy Dunn scored the knockdown
over Bowen and followed up with a
technical kayo over Bobby Stone of
Baltimore Although Ray had
nothing personel against Ray, his
upset win over Stone avenged a
previous knockout at that worthy S
hands.
In the feature. Bill Mcdowell
slapped Joey Spangler silly in the
seventh round. putting him down for
no-count with a left high on the
head, to turn the tide of battle and
gain a unanimous decision. Nc
Dowell saved his best shots for
crucial moments and got close, but
clear verdict.
Buffalo won from Villa in the
second eight. punching the Mexican
almost at will early in the bout and
staving off Villas comeback in the
closing rounds to save the fight.
1t was Villas first start in this
country and he waged game battle,
but couldn't cope with Buffalo's long,
snakelike left.
Billy Banks lost to Victor Corchado
in the third eight and it did the
local colored boy more good than a
hundred knockout victories over the
brand of setups he has been getting
Corchado gave away six pounds and
a considerable advantage in reach,
but knew how to overcome these
handicaps. He whipped Banks at
his own game Of infighting and was
prudent enough to remain at a safe
distance from Billy's left jab.
Carol Alexander made a successful
pro debut, locally, winning from
Vincent Truminello in the opening
four -rounder. Alexander tired near
the end, but Truminello couldnt t
overcome his early lead.
