advantage over the 179-pound Tony
to shove and throw him down or
through the ropes. Several times
the mammoth threw punches that
might have done serious damage
had not Shucco masterfully ducked
them. Hart. did connect solidly with
right-hand smashes in the fourth
and seventh, when Shucco went to
the canvas without being pushed.
Not a round was scored in Shuc-
cos favor, but the slim crowd OF
1901 that wanted to see David beat
Goliath, rooted for him all the way
and booed some of Harris tactics.
In Harris behalf, ringsiders point
out that it's hard to carry around
all that meat and fight a crisp,
clean welterweight style of fight.
Hart today was being accused OF
using football and wrestling tactics,
and the Shucco camp complains of
his falling on top of Tony when the
Bostonian was in the ropes.
Big AL might look okay in there
against Melio Bettina, Lee Savold
or Larry Lane, and at least one of
those possibilities is in the cards
for future ball park date.
Pratt Wins Best Fight.
Best fight of the night was the
semi windup, in which Jerome Pratt,
148, Baltimore, decisioned Irish
Johnny Taylor, 146, Washington, in
six rounds. Taylor, although the
loser, made great scrap of it, with
a ring manner reminiscent of Make

Collegiate footballs super spec
tacle, the Army Navy game, prob
ably will leave the rural hinter-

tional metropolitan setting this year.

It's the Nays 'home" game this
season and the choice of q locale
will be made by the Admirals and
lesser lights who run the academy
at Annapolis. But the Army, of
course, must concur in all arrange
Iments.
The Navy always has been in
favor Of the crowd-luring type of
contest, staged in a metropolis. In
the year following Pearl Harbor,
however, the Army clamped down,
as did the Office of Defense Trans
portation, and ruled the game
should be held at either Annapolis
or West Point, with attendance re-
stricted to residents of the immedi-
ate area.
That meant that instead of the
usual crowd of 10000 or 10000 fans
and the colorful fanfare that nor
mally accompanies such a spectacle,
the service game in 1912 and 1913
drew under 1900 customers. 1t was

game lis the Nays pigeon" but
limited that, insofar as he knew, the
Army would fall in line with any
plans the Navy has for reinstating
the contest as big-time affair.
High Navy officers said they would
consult with ODT representatives
before making decision. They
made it plain though, that the
service classic would not be played
at Annapolis If they could help it.
Transportation would not present a
problem in Eastern cities of a mil

pointed out.
