.Furr's Decision Over

Go With Benoise
Almost Has Quick Koyo;

Draw in Furious Bout
Ry LEWIS F. ATCHISON.

Phil Fur, the antique gladiator.
won a unanimous decision over Gene
Molnar last night at Turner's Arena
in the finale of an all-star card, and
If stoney-hearted Referee Eddie La
Fond had listened to reason" might
have scored a technical Knockout in
the second round instead of going
the full eight-round distance.
In that fateful inning Furr, who
still carries a lot of authority in his
dukes. exploded right on Molnar's
chin so hard Genes knees wobbled
like couple of loose banjo strings.
Phil tried to apply the coup d. grace,
but his fighting equipment was a bit
rusty, and Molnar staggered away
to apparent safety. Again Furr
caught him with that Furnishing
right, and this time Gene sagged to
canvas like an overloaded freight
elevator.
He took nine and came up. wobbly
and groggy, but still on his feet.
Furr wound UP and pitched some
more woe at his opponents dazed
features. but without visible effect.
He nearly worked himself into a
lather trying to put Molnar away
and couldn't. Finally he turned to
LaFond with an appealing look in
his eye that carried plea to stop it.
After all, Molnar was taking a lot
of punishment, and Phil was getting
awfully tired.
Recalls Past Happening.
But La Fond evidently remem-
bered the night Fur scored a tech
nical knockout over Steve Mamakos,
knocking down the Greek seven
times before hostilities were halted.
On that epochal evening Mamakos'
persistence in coming off the carpet
was beginning to assume a serious
aspect for Fur, whose stamina was
worn pretty thin. 1t was almost a
question of whether Phillip would
fall down before he had another
chance to knock down Steve.
So last night La Fond decided
Molnar wasn't hurt sufficiently to
justify stopping the fight and Furr
had to 60 the full eight rounds
which was more Furnishing than all
of Molnar's blows.
BY proving he can stand up that
long Furr may have gotten himSef
into more trouble-a bout with
young and tough Steve Belloise.
Matchmaker Gabe Menendez en-
phatically reiterates that he has Bel
loise promised for an appearance
here later in the month and Furr
seems to be elected as his opponent.
Jeffra, Archibald May Fight.
They introduced Harry Jeffra
from the ring last night and a
report soon went the rounds that
the Maryland featherweight cham
pion would be rematched with joey
Archibald within the next couple of
weeks. Neither Promoter Joe Tur-
ner nor Menendez had anything to
say about that.
Jimmy Webb. Chris Dundees
promising light-heavyweight chal-
lenger, knocked out" Al Stephany
in the second round of their bout.
The unsavory finish left his BRIDE
groom managers ears redder than
a fireman's pants. Stephany went
down and "out" in blow that ap-
peared to be about 4 feet on his
starboard beam
Bill Mcdowell and joey Spangler

and were Immediately rematched for

12-round victory over Billy Speary

Harry Jeffra a two-month layoff
from ring action.
The long rest was prescribed by
DR.. Raymond F. Helfrich, physician
to the State Athletic Commission,
after he examined Jeffra's right
hand yesterday. DR.. Helfrich said
Jeffra's hand was sprained and
badly swollen, but he did not believe
any bones were broken.
Because of the tendency of this
injury to recur with each bout in
which he engages, I have advised
him to rest his hand for about two
months" DIR. Helfrich wrote Stanley

to do so.

Ard if Mr. Conn has not retired,
It's hard to say what he has done.
His agreement with Louis calls spe-
cifcally for no more fights until he
meets Joe in June. This means
that Sweet William will go year
without defending his own title,
which means in turn that he is
not the kind of active champion
the public deserves.

deny him a claim to the title, since
most people consider him the best

another case of conflicting claims.
