$685., 800 in Bonds
Gate Record as Jack
Shades Montgomery
BY the Associated Press.

=
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Pvt. Beau
Jack won the decision, Pvt. Bob
Montgomery didn't lose his light
weight title; $35, ,S64, 900 in War
Bonds were sold, and the 1881
customers, including several hun
dred wounded veterans saw . whale
of fight show.
So every one was happy today
about last nights fight card In
Madison Square Garden, in which
the two GI guys, both Of whom
have held the New York version
of the lightweight laurels twice,
battled through 10 interesting
rounds. .
Record Gate for Boxing.
The gate was the largest ever
piled up for a fight show. The only
way to get In was to purchase a
bond with maturity value Of from
SIS to 100000. Hundreds Of per-
sons bought bonds, and left their
tickets at the box ONCE to be dis
tributed to servicemen, or sent them
to hospitals or service centers.
All the fighters. promoters, man.
ayers. referees. judges and others
connected with the show donated
their services, and the Gillette Razor
Co. paid all the other expenses.
Beau Jack, the ex-bootblack from
Augusta, Ca, who lost the title to
Montgomery, won 1t back from him,
and then lost 1t to him again, was
really a hghtin' man as he punched
out his decision In the non-title
scrap. The referee and one judge
favored the bounding Beau while
one judge called it even.
Go IS Rounds Upright.
The two gladiators have fought 55
rounds to date, and despite the con-
tinual slugging there hasn't been a
knockdown. Each has won two de-
cisions, and the count on rounds is
almost as even as that. Counting
total Of 165 votes for the S. rounds,
two judges and the referee voting
on each. 1t stapds: Beau Jack, 78;
Montgomery, n; even, 10.
Jack won last night by piling up
an early lead with slashing body
attack against the slow-starting
Montgomery, and then staving of a
late rally by the champion. Al
though he won, Jack was the only
one to show any marks of battle
He had q bloody nose and mouth,
and a damaged eye, while Mont
gomery was unhurt.

Ben Chapmans stormy baseball
career had new slant today as
the newest Brooklyn Dodger saw his
name posted In the National League
books as q pitcher with q 1000 WIN
ming percentage and = 500 batting
average.
Temperamental Ben from Nash
ville led the American League In
base stealing four times, lifting 81
in 1881, and played shortstop, third
base, second base and outfield in
his advance from Asheville to the
New York Yankees, Washington
Senators, Boston Red Sox and
Cleveland Indians.
1t remained for the Piedmont
League to bring out Chappy's tai
ents as a side-arm hurler with q
good "downer" as he went to the
mound for his Richmond Colts
when q string of double headers
disrupted his pitching staff.
Starts With = Bang.
Chapman's record for Richmond
inspired major league interest. de-
spite his penchant for jousting with
the umpires. Deacon Branch Hickey
lured him away from Dixie with a
cash payment and Rookie Pitcher

Chapman wasted little time re-
porting to the Dodgers. He went to

While Chapman was taking the
bows, Bucky Walters climbed back
on the win wagon, stopping st. Louis
for the fifth straight time to hand
up his 10th victory after four futile
efforts. Cincinnati's margin was 5-3,
with Al Jurisch, the first of four
st. Louis hurlers, getting the loss.
Fitzsimmons Protests Game.
Hal Luby's 10th-inning homer gave
Bill Voiselle and the New York
Giants q 4-3 nod over the Phillies'
Ken Raffensberger. Freddy Fitz-
simmons Phils finished the game
under protest as they absorbed their
10th straight loss. Chicago held
fourth place by beating Pittsburgh,
4-3, on Bill Nicholson's oath homer,
coming with a man on in the ninth
as Paul Derringer took the win from
Max Butcher. 1t was the 10th
straight Chicago triumph.
Connie Mack's 5Oth anniversary as
a manager was spoiled by the
Yankees, who took h 10 game be-
