Split Decision Ov

Danny Kapilow wasn't in there
with Sugar Ray Robinson at
Cleveland instead OF Jimmy
Doyle" announced Goldte
Ahearn, descending on the sports
department like a wounded

Doyle for the chance to fight
Robinson and wuz robbed-but
what a break for us. I could kiss
them judges. They give it to
Doyle by a half-point.
so we got Kapilow fighting
Smuggy Hursey Tuesday night at
the ball park and that poor guy
Doyle is dead from injuries in a
fight he almost missed by half
point on a judges scoresheet."
There was more to the story
than the robbery of Kapilow,
Goldie admitted in his own,
inimitable brand of the kings
bruised English. "The champion
tough luck guy of boxing" he
called Doyle. IF it was raining
500 bills he'd get hit on the head
with a cigar coupon"
Doyle had one bout here under
the Ahearn-Al WE'LL banner,
knocking out Ernie Butler In five
rounds at Uline Arena November
Is, 1914.
I'VE knew he was a top-notch
fighter and wanted to bring him
back, but he was going UP like
sky rocket - swoosh - and We
couldn't get him." Goldie con-
tinued. I'VE only got that fight
because Al knew his manager,
Tony Pallozola-or something
that sounds just as bad. Grip

wanted him in the Garden, in

Pallazola family moves to Los

Jimmy Doyle comes into the

He'd boxed some as an anna

all the time and Jack johnson,
the old heavyweight champion,

the kid all his tricks. made him

Johnny Mize, Walker Cooper and

But even the Yankee wrecking

Coroner, Meanwhile,
Presses Probe Of
FIGHTER 5 Death
sy III. A.see;o,.d Press

CLEVELAND, June 26. The
Cleveland Boxing Commission re-
ported today that Jimmy Doyle was
physically fit and ready when he en-
tered the ring against Ray Robinson
in the welterweight championship
bout that resulted in Doyle's death.
The report was prepared at the
request of Mayor Thomas Burke at
at special meeting called by Com
mission Chairman Andrew P,Itka.
DR., A. r. Hagedorn, commission
physician, gave his own testimony
and that OF other physicians that
the 22-year-old Californian showed
no injury of any kind before he
entered the ring with Robinson.
Coroner Spurs Inquiry.
Meanwhile, Coroner Samuel r.
Gerber said he was determined to
learn if Doyle had recovered sum-
ciently from a conclusion received
in fight with Artie Levine March
IL, 1916, to go through with the title
match.
He reported he would question
Paul Doyle, manager of Doyle. to-
day and Matchmaker Larry Atkins
and DR.. Hagedorn Saturday.
"A great deal OF unholy pressure
has been put on me to divert this
investigation" said DR.. Gerber.
II am going to make a complete
investigation. I will talk to any
one who had anything to do with
this"
DR.. Gerber did not elaborate on
what he meant by pressure.
The coroner opened his probe
last night by questioning Robinson,
his manager, George Gainford. and
two other handlers Of the cham
pion.
Robinson was accused during
questioning by DR.. Gerber OF being
"eyasive." So was Gainford, later.
Insists on Thorough Probe.
"+This is an unfortunate incident
and you are not to- blame" the
coroner said to Robinson. But !
want to know Doyle's condition as
observed by laymen, and want to
arrive at a conclusion without pres
sure from anybody. I don't want
a cloud on Ohio boxing"
His questioning led along three
major lines:
"Was Doyle really fit and the
right opponent for the welterweight
champion of the wor1d?"
WAS Doyle's earlier brain injury
shown In paralysis of one eyelid or
other parts of his body?"
"Was the floor Of the ring prop
erly padded?"
Not under oath, Robinson denied
he thought Doyle an unworthy op-
ponent. He denied having a voice
in picking Doyle. He denied TAX
ing Doyle's injury last year into his
fighting strategy.
Robinson said he would come in
to sign the stenographer's typed
transcript OF his testimony today
and would remain here for further
questioning. He was not put under
charges nor was bond fixed.
-. KO,d By Left Hook.
:, Doyle was knocked out when he
stepped into a stiff left hook and
died of brain injury II hours
later in Charity Hospital.
DR.. Gerber reported Doyle died
from cerebral hemorrhage. There
was general hemorrhage in the
brain, considerable In the back OF
the brain. There was conclusion
also
His head striking the ring floor
may have added to the damage
But the blow to the jaw or face
was the cause OF the injury to the
brain. The evidence of the old
brain injuries are there"
