the United States Navy, de-
feated Joe Smith of the Brew
ster A. c., Detroit, in a very
close match which found the
battlers slugging toe to toe at
the final gong. They weighed in
at 167 pounds. Heminger is a
former Golden Gloves title hold
er and won the light-heavy-
weight championship of Treas
ure Island while stationed there.
Dick Morris, a member of the
Toledo Industrial Unit of Local
IL, appeared on. the card for the
first time and lost a close deci-
sion to SHINY Harris of Toledo.
1t was a fast slugging match
from the first bell until the last.
Morris tired fast, due to lack of
gymnasium work but says will
be in better shape for his next
bout.
One of the best fights of the
evening saw Chuck Spiecer, of
the Annunciation A. c., Detroit,
tangle with Earl Harris, Brew
ster A. c. This contest brought
applause from the fans because
of the clever boxing mixed with
bruising blows delivered by
both of the men. The three
judges gave the nod to Spiecer
who hasn't lost fight in his
career. The fight was so even
that the boys have been matched
for a return bout in about two
weeks. They both weighed in
at 155 pounds.
Another outstanding fight on
the card was between Frank
Palizzi, Annunciation Club, who
won the close decision of the
judges, and Clinton Isom, of the
Brewster A. G. The lads are
bantamweight. 1t was a nip and
tuck affair with Palizzi proving
the stronger of the two. Two
other Detroit boys, Frank Grif-
fin, 120 pounds, Brewster A. c.
and Howard Pettigrew, Lincoln
A. c., fought on even terms until
the last minute when Griffin
forged ahead a few points and
took the decision. The bout was
so we'll received by the fans
that the boys will appear again
on next Tuesdays show.

Ray Mizzi, of the Highland
Park Boys Club, won all the
way from Walt Smith of the
Brewster stable of Eddie Futch.
Ralph Diffendorfer of the An
nunciation A. c., kept the good
record of his club when he
knocked out Frank Brousseau of
the Lincoln A. c. These boys
scaled 126 pounds. Lester FELTON,
o. the Detroit Brewster club
knocked out Toledo's Sammy
Ross in the second ind of their
scheduled three rounder. FELTON,
was just too clever for Ross, who
weighed 118 pounds.
George Lane of the Brewster
clan put in his initial appeaE
ance in Toledo and won by
knockout over Casimir Kotch,
of the Kolbe A. c. Kotcf is a
game and willing lad but just
needs more boxing experience.
Another T / e d o boy, Billy
Temple, made very good
showing even though~he lost the
judges decision to Tom Mathews
of the Brewster outfit. The boys
were we'll matched and put on
a very good and a very close
fight.
The judges for the fights were
Jack Brady, vel known boxing
enthusiast, Hush Zimmerman,
who formerly handled the fight
ers of the Boys Club here, and
Jim Patterson, coach and in
structor of the Y. wi. c. A. bat
tiers for the last fifteen years.
Referees for the matches include
Red Mcdonald, Laverne Keller,
and Joe Lohman. Bill Denman,
who has been fight promoter
and manager in Toledo for some
years, acted as timekeeper.
Another first class card is be-
ing arranged for Toledo's fight
fans for next Tuesday night at
the Civic Auditorium.
