Plans Cannon Match
With Weller Ruler

Joe Cannon, the 18-year-old
Northeast boxing master, will get a
shot at Welterweight Champion
Freddy RedD Cochrane in Griffith
Stadium this summer if current
negotiations of Matchmaker Gabe
Menendez are successful.
On the surface it might appear an
impossible match, but actually it has
interesting possibilities. Cochrane,
recently discharged from the. Navy,
is overweight, not in the best of
shape and troubled with stomach
ulcers. He's in no condition to
cope with such duration" welters
as Ray {Sugar) Robinson, and a
series of warmup bouts with promis-
ing lads such as Cannon might be
in order before he makes the weight
for a title bout.
Cannon, who has piled up nine
straight wins since turning pro,
meets what may be his stiffest op-
position to date in Jerome Pratt
on the Monday night card in Turn
ers Arena. Pratt holds a decision
over Irish Johnny Taylor and is
nobody's "stiff." !"

their last hockey game of the season

NEW YORK, Mar. 24.-Lt. Col.
Eddie Eagan, new chairman of the

sion, has banned draw decisions at
big time fights in New York.
The ban, as significant as the no.
foul rluing a decade ago, was start
ed at last nights Tami Mauriello-
Lee Oma heavyweight l0-rounder in
Madison Square Garden, where
Mauriello, 3-to-1 underdog. sur
prised a crowd of 1921 (gross gate

Still puzzled by the Jimmy Bivans-
Melio Bettina draw of a week ago
when the three officials voted three
different ways, Col. Eagan explained
his action at ringside before the
Oma- -Mauriello bout started.
Il have instructed the officials"
the colonel said, Ito keep a point
score along with the round-by-
round method. If, for instance,
they have each fighter winning five
rounds, as happened on one card
last week, they are to determine the
winner on the total point score In
this way all draws will be elirni-
mated"
The word draw was scratched
off the back of each card given the
officials. For point-scoring they
were told that if man won a
round by a shade they should score
that round 10; if a man won def
initely it should be 20; if the round
was one-sided, 80, and if very one
sided (meaning if any knockdowns),
40.
The new system made no differ
ence last night as New Yorker
Mauriello, looking fit at 1884,

both rounds and total points. Judge
Joe Agnello called it 80 in rounds
and II to 3 in points. Referee
Johnny Burns called it 7-3 in rounds
and 1913 in points. Judge Harold
Barnes voted To and one even in
rounds and AL in points The As
sociated Press had it 7-2-1 in rounds
and l4-3 in points
The victory put Tami ahead, 2 to
l, in his series with the Detroit
boxer who jumped into prominence
by splitting even with Mauriello in
their previous two bouts. Oma said
afterwards he felt he had trained
down too fine at 181 pounds, but
''he hit me with everything and I
