Alexander, Victor Over
Archibald, to Fight
Again Next Week

Promoter Goldie Ahearn. who
operates boxing for the Liberty
Athletic Club at Uline Arena, be-
Ieves there's an upswing in in
terest in the ring game here, and
plans to cash in on it by running
shows every Friday hereafter in
stead of twice a month.
A number of interesting programs
recently, both at Uline's and at
Turner's Arena. has brought a
slight increase in attendance. The
best Uline crowd in some months
turned out last night-2,25O Gus
toners paid $2,740-to see Carroll
(Kid) Alexander, 22-year-old local
boy. outpoint Joey Archibald, twice
a featherweight champion, but who
no longer has the speed and zip
he displayed in his heyday when
he was a Washington favorite.
Alexander Fights Next Week.
Ahearn will bring Alexander back
as a headliner next week, and de-
clares I'm going to get the best
featherweight available for him."
The fans didn't approve entirely
OF the Alexander Archibald bout
last night. 1t was slow in spots
from spectators standpoint, with
frequent clinching and holding.
Archibald, about pounds over his
best fighting weight. seldom made
lead, being content most of the time
with tying up ris green opponent.
The slow second and third rounds
brought forth boos and stomping,
but action picked up bit thereafter
as the kid tossed more punches from
outside
Many of his lefts missed as Archi-
bald ducked under and inside, but
in the sixth Alexander began to
bring his left down and made several
effective connections.
Balloting Is Divided.
There was no doubt about the
winner. Alexander taking at least
five rounds, but still Archibald re-
ceived the vote of Judge Jimmy
Sullivan, while Judge Bob Eller and
Referee Eddie La Fond declared for
Alexander.
In the semifeature, Louis Kid
Cocoa survived cut over his right
eye, received in the first round, to
outlook Kid Robinson, a slugger
from Philadelphia. In the third
eight-rounder, Herbert Marshall
stopped Tom Campanella in 254 of
the third round.
In opening four-rounders, Jackie
Goodman decisioned Herschel Todd
and Jimmy McAllister knocked out
Willie Mack in 2:45 of the third.
