DAVIS NO MATCH
 FOR zIVIC IN FISTIC "FLOP"
One-Sided Bout Ends in T. K. 0. in Tenth; Less
 Than S37,OOO Gate
' tile
BY JACK CUDDY Limited Press COrrespOndent)

NOAAANGA 1 AN4D ANDNb8AAAAgA4SV
 New York, July 3-(UP)-- The real winner of last nights Zivic- Davis floperco were the thousands upon thousands of fans who had sense enough to stay away from the Polo Grounds.
 For everyone else 1t was Q double barreled disappointment
 Promoter Mike Jacobs took c worse beating than Private Bunny Davis, who suffered Q technical knockout in the 10th round fater blocking we1terweight Champion Fritzie zivic's left jab with a bloody schnozzola all evening.
 FlOperOO
 Summed up, this scheduled 12- round non-title bout was probably the most complete flasco in the history of 'fbig time" outdoor New York boxing.
 The fight was 8 lop-sided dud, and the surprisingly small gather ing of 8,968 fans contributed Q gate of only $36,185 for the questionable privilege of witnessing 1t.
 These figures proved solar plexus punch to Promoter Jacobs pocketbook. He had guaranteed the Army Relief society $10,00o of the gate in return for Private Davis services. Or at least, that's what his publicity men stated. A 24- hour postponement and last nights threat of rain were factors in the debacle.
 Hit the Deck
 The opening round found moon faced Bunny on the canvas for the first time in his career. A short straight right achieved the lone knockdown of the bout, and Bum my was just rising at the count of seven when the bell rang.
 Thereafter Pittsburgh Fritzie contented himself with playing ''Taps" on the artillery mans bugle. No matter how or where zivic thrust his left jab, Davis adroitly blocked it with his nose or mouth. No better catcher ever i appeared there on the Giants ball field.
 After the fifth, it became ap- parent that it was merely O ques- ton of how long Davis could last -or how long Referee Arthur Donovan would permit Zivic to continue sharpshooting at his bloody target. Came the eighth, and Bummy's nose looked like 8 squashed tomato and his lower lip seemed to have been slasl1ed with 8 sabre. Donovan wanted to stop the butchery at the end of the eighth, and again at the end of the ninth, but he listened to the pleas of Bummy's handlers.
 He had to halt it at 2:12 of the 10th, after two body smashes ale most jack-knifed Bunny, who was reeling around the ring, holding his mid-section. It was Bummy's first kayo.
 zivic, who out-weighed Davis by the small margin of 1491a pounds to 148, merely got g fair workout in preparation for his next two bouts. He meets Jimmy Barbara of Chicago in a non-title 10-round- CT at Philadelphia on July IA, and on July 28 he defends his title against Red Cochrane of New Jer- sey at Ruppert's stadium in New ark.
 Davis, on furlough from the army, returns to Uncle Sam on July 8.

Chicago, July Exchanging trains on our way to Denver and the P. G. A. championship we found this midwest metropolis dangling nerv- ously on tenter hooks and wonder. ing out loud what the governor is going to do about that bill.
 That bill" is a legislative device which would legalize wide open bet- ting on the horses in downtown stores, suburban pubs and even in the far flung hayseed districts of Illinois. The bill has passed both houses and is now on the governors desk awaiting veto or signature.
 Opinion is confrsedly divided as to what the governors action will be. Some of the local sports writers we talked with are of the belief he will give it the green light. The top bookie in town, an AcQuAi11t- ance of mony years, and 8 gentles man who usually knows all the an- swers, politically and otherwise, doesn't think it will be signed.
 "The governor must think of the next election" pointed out MT. Rookie, land too many of the bet ter people are opposed to the bill" {" Still, there was a possibility MT. Rookie admitted, that the governor might automatically ignore the bill thus permitting 1t to become law without his signature. "I11 that event he could at least say he didn't sign it." explained MT. Rookie who knows all the amusing angles too.
 Good Governor Green
 The governor in question is Dwight Green who is known as a clean government man. He's the gent who broke up the Capone mob (if indeed it is broken up) and helped put the fabulous Al behind

| wonder why!
When 'Jonesy and his lady
FIRST got married, they in
tended TO live happily or
ever and ever. Whatever the
intention, the romance went
hlooev. And recent court &c
ton revealed Jones suing for
divorce. claiming that he was

Which plea however. rated
exactly nothing with His
Honor. So Jones is hitting

citizens giving him the razz.
Again, ] wonder why?
Why should it he any more
shameful or silly for a di-
vorced man 10 sue his wife

to sue him?
No can sec. Personally, I
think this whole matter OF
alimony is a blot on any
civilized record. Nor can l
understand how any woman
with a shred of pride would
accept support from a man
with whom she did not live
and for whom she refused 10
make a home.
