NEW YORK, April This Is
Beau Jacks 23d birthday, and some
time before dusk he'll step into
Uncle Mike Jacobs Goth Century
Sporting Club Office and pick up a
$25, 900 birthday present.
And that is no April fool" gag.
The $25,000-or thereabout-will
be the ex-bootblack's bit of last
nights $87,802 gate receipts at Mad
ison Square Garden, where the
Bounding Beau pounded out a 10
round decision over Juan Zurita of
Mexico City, the NBA's new light
weight champion, who was making
his first Eastern appearance.
Makes Beau Miss a Lot.
The clever and straight-punch-
ing Zurita made Beau Jack miss
plenty of punches, but the dusky
Georgian whitfield out the verdict
by having much the better of the
linfighting and by forcing the ac-
ton all the way in the overweight,
none-title scrap. Jack weighed 1876,
Zurita 1891.
George Parnassus, pilot Of the
Mexican scrapper, said he thought
his boy won the fight. He also said
he wasn't booking any more Eastern
appearances right now, but was Ieav-
ing early next week for a rest in
Mexico.
Beau Jack, with the Garden
turned over to the circus, starting
Monday, must look for new gold
fields to mine. 1t looks as If he'll
|tangle with Cleo Shans in Boston
before long, and he also has a
tentative date in Philadelphia for
May against an undetermined oppo-
nent, possibly Ike Williams.
Jack Injuries Hands, Back.
Jack has been in the Garden so
often the last few months that he
should be paying rent. Last nights
fray was his 18th main 60 there
and his third appearance of the
month. The nights receipts, put on
the line by 1883 customers, booted
Jacks total 13-fight gate to 81 ,035,-
279, of which he probably has re-
ceived close to quarter million.
Beau Jack came out of the Zurita
fight with two injured hands and a
strained back He hurt his hands
hitting the Mexican and hurt his
back missing him, Beau said.
zurita's only marks of battle were
some rosy red spots around his mid
section, where Jack played a 10
round tattoo.
Beau's hands aren't hurt so badly
that he can't pick up that S25,OO0
check, however.
