Cocoa Kid Forces Referee To
Take Him Off Bobby Britton

BALTIMORE, Md. - (SNS) -
Louis (Kid) Cocoa scored another
victory in Baltimore ring, Mon
day night, registering a technical
Knockout over Bobby Britton, of
New York and Florida, in the sixth
round Of the scheduled ten-rouno
main bout at the Coliseum.
Cocoa's triumph, while con-
vircing enough to spectators, was
tainted with irony as the Mary
land State Boxing Commission
suspended Britton after the fight
on charge of unsatisfactory per-

1t was rumored along sock alley
that Jacobs is planning a third
match between LOUIS and Bob
Pastor. Pastor, whose, fistic stock
scared high by virtue Of his eight
round kayo over Cleveland, O's
heavyweight threat. Lem Franklin,
is basing his claim to third
match with the heavyweight crown
by virtue Of the fact that he lasted
twenty lone rounds with the Detroit
Bomber. Dropped four times in the
second encounter, Pastor was not
counted out. The ref called the
bout to halt and awarded Louis
the duke, via the technical kayo
route.

Pastor, however, is hanging on
desperately in the top flights. Biv-
ins, on the other hand, is a shot"
natural. Everyone admits he is des-
tined to go places.
FLOORED PASTOR TWICE
After Bivins floored Pastor twice
in the first round and kept the
white boy in continual trouble in
the earlier stages of the fight, Pas

the Florida battler a threat to

after the fourth when hard body
punches followed by crashing

CUBAN STARS THRILL EXCITED SUNDAY THRONG
With BRILLIANT GA TRIUMPH OVER BAL TIMORE
Elite Sluggers Impress Folk But
Unable To Deliver In Clutch

Butts had thrown out Dunn and
Williams in succession Perez doubl-
ed hotly down the leftfield line
anu ronlped home on Worthys
single, his third hit OF the ball
game.
CUBANS STERLING AEIELD
However, defensively, the Cuban
Stars had it all over the Baltimore
ans here Sunday, committing but
one error against four costly mis-
plays by the Giants, two by Man
ager FELTON, Snow himself.
The well balanced Cubans really
were impressive when the chips
were down. Time and again, the
Elites seemed destined to take com
mand of things and win the ball
game. Invariably, the Cubans, by
dint of magnificent team play,
clutch pitching, and sparkling
second basing by Heriberto Blanco,
pulled out of the trouble in grand
style.
SCALES BIG BAT
The Cubans led 6-4 going into
the last half Of che ninth and things
looked dark as Kimbro popped to
Worthy and Butts lofted to VIII
liams in right. But Scales hit a
herculean three-bagger to the right
centerfield terrace, which, with the
dangerous Wright, who had dented
the signboards with triple earlier
in the game, at bat put Barnhill
in a very undesirable spot.
But Dunn raced magnificently to
deep right center and robbed Wright
with a circus catch that was dra-
matte climax to the thrilling con-
test.
SOCIETY BELLE PERFORMING
The game opened tremendously.
Miss Verna Mae James, very love-
ly and stylish West Side society
belle, swank in a plaid coat suit
with azure blue accessories, tossed
the first ball to Hugh Williams,
popular young Auburn Avenue
sportsman, with Alonzo G.. Moron.

and missed it. then lost" the ONLY
strike Verna threw.
The crowd was an enthusiastic
and colorful one Tt was more thar
well pleased and left singing the
praise especially of those thuggish
Cuban pitchers and those mighty
Baltimore hitters.
ATLANTA BOY GOOD
Butts, the former David L. How
ard and BTWHS all-folnd athlete
and glitter shortStop Of the Atlanta
Black Crackers, had great day,
hitting safely twice and handling
nine OF ten chances superbly. His
one error was made going too far
into short left and managers don't
scold kids for that; 1t showed at
least that he was really hustling.
Blanco, Cuban second bsseman,
shared the defensive spotlight With
Butts and Sllowboat Thomas was
clipper at first for the Pompez-
men too.
In the outfield, both Perez In
left who robbed Catcher Robert
Clark and Dunn in center who
cheated Wright for the last out Of
the game had one spectacular
catch.
At bat, Scales with 6 triple, doub-
lie, single, walk and two runs scored
was the outstanding stickman,
closely pursued by Worthy, Cuban
shortfielder, who had a triple, dou-
BILE. and single too in one official
trip more at bat. n addition to
Butts, Wright had triple and sim
gle and Third Basasnan Henry
Spearman connected for two sill
giles. Perez had a double and single
for the Cubans.
