one TKO was scored, q first
round victory by Harry Mial in
the $50 pound class.
A crowd of 800 packed the
city high gym for the amateur
show and a majority of their
plaudits went to three successive
bouts in the middle weights.
The trio of defending champions
Bob Kolp, los, Elmer Peltier,
120, and David Inman, 130,--
all successfully defended their
titles.
With the exception of the
Bob Kolp-Dan Hasshaw 20 at
los, the show moved along with
out excitement to the 14O pound
division where Bruce Bostwick
and Ken Likens gave out with
the best fight of the night. In
fine condition, both boys went
the defiance with little trouble
Bostwick winning out in the fl
nal round.
GOODNESS COUNTS
Hard counter punching won
the first round for Likens, but
Bostwick's GOODNESS and poise-
despite a bloody nose-carried
him through the next two rounds
with a bare margin and he took
the final canto and victory with
a series of rights to Likens jaw
and eye.
Following hard on the heels of
this, Harry Mial, tough Negro
guard on the Bather football
team, hammered out a fast vic
tory over Milton Darling in
the 145-pound class. Mial caught
Darling flat-footed with his
first punch and proceeded to
blast away with a two-fisted at
tack which folded his opponent
flat on the floor at the end of
SIS seconds of the first round
for TKO.
CLOSE DECISION
Jackie Sierens and Julius Van
Develde met in the 100 pound
class, with Sierens taking a two
point victory in the most disput-
ed decision of the night. The
bout degenerated into a blocking
drill from time to time, but
Jackie-son of Johnnie Sierens
edged through with a slightly
superior show of boxing skill
and aggressiveness after the
fight was tied up at the end
of the second round.
Bob Kolp's smuggling match with
Don Hasshaw at los grabbed
the crowds fancy and the stocky
little defending champion drop
ped his opponent for a five-count
in the second and followed up
by flooring him four times in
the third round and twice again
in the final. Hasshaw captured
the first round, as he box
ed the cocky champ to stand
still, but his toe-to-toe efforts
could not match Kolp's round
house left and he lost the next
three chapters on points.
SUPERIOR HEIGHT TELLS
First bout of the night saw
Philip Plevek seize a decision
over Art Harms, using his super
ior height and q long left 20
stab out judges victory over
his blond-headed opponent in
the 90 pound class.
Jimmy Harris and Bill Collins
started their match at IS on a
smuggling basis, and Harris hard
hitting right dropped his ia
tigued opponent three times in
the fourth round to give him a
win going away.
The Joe Fraction-James Muir
raj match in the 100 pound class
was called off and in the 10
division, better condition and a
longer reach gave a slight edge
TO Richard Baxter over Bob
Stearns. Stearns fought on a
par with his rival until shortly
after the start of the third, when
fatigue slowed his punches.
FIGHT STARTS SLOW
Harry Reese inched by Junior
Housch in the lis pound fight
in a fight which had the fans
yelling for more action during
the opening two rounds. Reese's
harder punching gave him a mar
row m argin in the last two
rounds.
Elmer Peltier successfully de-
Tended his title in the 100 pound
division, pounding out an early
two-round margin which Don
Kolp-brother of Bob - could
not overcome despite his rally in
the last two frames. Kolp had
his foe bleeding at the mouth
but Peltier's telling body blows
proved a decisive factor.
FANCY RING POSE I
Aggressiveness and a looping
right which started in the CALLER
les gave David Hufstealer a vic
tory over Clarence Morgan in
the 135 bracket after an even
start. The winner pushed the
fight after the second round to
edge his foe, whose fancy boxing
pose had the fans in stitches.
