Capitol Residents
Fight Restrictive
Covenants

WASHINGTON, d. C. (NNPA)
- Thirty-three owners of eleven
pieces of property on the north
and south sides of the 100 block
ON Adams Street northwest
brought suit in the District Court
last Thursday to have a restrictive
covenant covering all property in
that block declared null and void.
Two property owners, Arthur
Bishop, 1873 Adams Street, and
Miss Elizabeth Musson, lat Adams
street, both white, who did not
join in bringing the suit, were
named defendants. Mr.. Bishop
and Miss Musson were among
the white property owners who
fought to enforce the covenant
which has become imperative.
The properties involved in the
suit are now either owned or oc-
cupied by colored persons with the
exception of the two houses own
ed by the defendants, the plain
tiffs state, but the covenant re-
mains of record burdening plain
tiffs' title.

Beau Jacks Wins
Decision Over
Kapiiow

WASHINGTON, d. c. (NNPA)
- In complete command the whole
distance, Beau Jack, former shoe
shine boy of Augusta, Georgia,
blasted his way to a unanimous
ten-round decision over Danny
Kapilow, Brooklyn welterweigrt,
at Griffith Stadium last Monday
night, in one of the best outdoor
shows ever staged here.
A disappointing crowd of 1O,427
braved threatening weather to see
the brawl, paying gross of S42,-
437.73 and a net of $32, 003.46. The
liberty Athletic Club had expect
ed $4,000 and a gate of some
$4,000, but heavy rain shortly
before fight time cut the attend
ance. Beau Jack was given a
$4,000 guarantee.
The biggest handicap Beau had
during the fight was Referee
Harry Volkman, who kept break
ing the fighters for no reason at
all. Danny was no match for
Beau at infighting, but whenever
Beau got to wailing away at kap-
ilow on the inside Volkman would
break the fighters.
In the sixth round Beau be-
came enraged and vicious. He
belted Kapilow all over the ring
in this round and near the end
caught him with a left hook to
the chin. Danny went down, but
when the count reached six the
bell sounded ending the round.
Papilow's seconds finally got
him into his senses after working
on him in his corner for about
twenty-five seconds and pouring
bottle of water on his neck
From then on, Beau coasted, open

'If painted woodwork tends to

able assistant.
After cleaning the attic or Gel
lar, set the electric fan to work
there, too. 1t clears out odors that
seem to settle, discourages moths,
mice and such. A fan in the cellar
is an especially good idea If you
paint the walls frequently. or have

to congregate.
Paint Dries Quickly

1900 See Muzon
Knocked Out By
Montgomery

PHILADELPHIA (NNPA) =
A crowd of $4,000 fight fans sat
stunned at Shibe Park here Mon
day night as they watched Wes-
ley Mouzon tag lightweight cham
pion Bob Montgomery with a right
cross and knock him into oblivion
in LAG of the second round of
their scheduled 12-round non-title
match.
Monty, who entered the ring a
81 favcrite to teach the 20 year
old upstart his place, never had
a chance to get started as Mouzon
danced around him in the first
round flicking a rapier-like left
hand in the Bobcats face and oc-
casionally whipping vicious bolo
into the midsection.
Montgomery was able to land
only three blows during the entire
period.
The second round started as a
repetition of the opener but after
about a minute Bob, always bor-
ing in, cornered the elusive strip
ling and threw a barrage of blows
into the Mouzon midriff. AS Wes-
| ley came out of the corner he
threw a couple of left jabs and
then stepped in with right cross
that slammed Bib against the
! ropes.
To all the ringsiders the out
come of the bout was apparent
The champion stood, his eyes glaz-
ed, hands halfway up to his chin
and Mouzon, unable to tell if Bob
was playing possum, refrained
from coming in and laying him
self open. He stood back and
! then let go another left that Bob
partially blocked and Yves slipped
as he went back.
Bob moved around to the other
side of the ring but Mouzon, aware
that that his moment was at hand
bounced on Montgomery for the
kill.
He ripped volley of lefts and
rights to the hand and the cham
pion slithered along the ropes and
crashed to the canvas. His fight
ing instinct, culed from some 90
odd battles in which he had been
downed but once, forced the Bob
cat to try to rise and as Referee
| Charlie Daggert tolled the fatal
''ten" Bob was clawing on him
trying to pull himself erect.
A brief thunderstorm, which
started as the first preliminary
bout got under way, caused Box
! ing Commissioner Chairman Leon
Rains to order the main bout
put on Immediately following the
preliminaries.

event had reached the ring, how
