Woodcock and Mills,
His Victim 10 Seek
Contests in j. ).
BY the A.soeioted Prsss

LONDON, June 5.-Bruce Wood
cock, British heavyweight boxing
champion, and Freddie Mills, whom
he outpointed last night in a 12-
round consolation" fight three
weeks after their knockouts by
Americans, both looked to the
United States today for further
hopes of fistic fame.
Mills. the British light-heavy-
weight titleholder who was dis
charged from the Royal Air Force
three months ago after more than
a year in the Far East, and his
manager, Ted Broadribb. will leave
for New York by air Sunday.
1--WE are going to see the Louis
Conn bout and all other good
American fighters we can," said
Broadribb, who took Tommy Farr
to the United States in 1887.
Although we have no fights
scheduled, if Mills is in good enough
shape we may take on a bout or
two outside New York. None of the
big boys, though. Freddie is better
than he looked against Woodcock.
He's still got India in him"
Woodcock lost far more blood
than Mills, who was aggressive to
the final round and damaged his
opponents mouth and nose, al
though he was outweighed 10 pounds,
191 to 181.
Woodcock rocked Mills several
times with lefts and rights and
opened cut on his left eyebrow
in the second round but failed to
topple him.
BY winning, Woodcock saved his
title which probably would have
been ordered vacated under British
rules for failure to defeat a man
in lower weight classification.
