Cliff Kings
Popularity
.atesTrophy

In a fine display of ring
generalship and boxing abil-
ity, the fighters of the Local
II Athletic Club won three
clear cut city championship
titles, Saturday night, in the
14th Annual Y. M. c. A. Boxing
Tournament finals.
Sammy Ross, Local II
bantamweight, captured the ap-
plause of the fans when he won
four bouts during the tourna-
ment all of them knockouts. In
the final bout, Sammy kayo'ed
Don Martin, Y. M. c. A, after
the latter had hit the canvas too
many times to mention. If there
had been a "fightingest fighter"
award, instead of a popularity
trophy, it should have been
given to Sammy Ross.
Cliff King, Local IL middle
weight, knocked out Austin
Roberts, listed from the Sham
rock A. c., in the final round
of their bout. King caught his
adversary with a right hook and
sent him to the canvas for the
count of ten. This bout was
fairly even up to this time.
Cliffs fighting display brought
a big hand from the many ring
enthusiasts and won for him
enough applause to win popu-
larity trophy awarded by Ed
Walpole, of the Toledo Boxing
Commission. However, Kings
vanquished foe also received a
great amount of praise from the
fans and was awarded SIMILAR
trophy although he was knocked
out by Cliff.
Art Rae, also of the Local IL
stable, won the heavyweight
title by taking the judges deci-
sion from Ulysses Nix, Cestus
Club battler, after three bruising
rounds of fighting Earlier in the
tournament, Rae won a decision
over Bill Scott, former stable
mate, and won the champion
ship, Saturday night, through his
superb boxing ability.
Other winners in the tourney
were: Buddy Carr, lightheavy,
over Buddy Shecklles, Shamrock
A. c.; Troy Johnson, Shamrock
A. c., won by default over
Mickey Gallagher, because of an
injured ear; Pat (Spunky)
Lowery over Jim Staup by de-
fault; Richard Mcconnell over
Whitney Shook by default be-
cause Shook broke his hand
in an earlier victorious bout
with George Badgley. Shook re-
presented the Y. M. c. A.
