Boxer Turned 5|ugger,
'Lesnevich Rules Ring;
Quickly Kayoes Fox
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 6.-The new
Gus Lesnevich, $3.50 boxer turned
ring tiger, is the hottest thing
around the fight game. Now he can
call his own shots.
At the age of 80 when most fight
ers are looking for the carpet slip
pers, the durable light heavyweight
king can write his own ticket for
the future. He used to be hit
d-get-away guy. Now he pegs
bombs, righthanded.
There are rumors he may go tc
London to pick up some loose
change after his explosive first
round knockout of Philadelphia s
Billy Fox in 158 last night in Madi-
son Square Garden. Nothing is
definite.
Lesnevich may never again fight
as light heavy. He had terrific
tussle with the scales yesterday
pairing off ounces to make the 175-
pound limit.
The seil-out crowd of 18,453 which
paid $149,519 got big bang out of
Gus power display.
After a few seconds Of sparring In
midring, Gus nicked Billy with q
straight right. AS the challenger
scrambled out of range in confusion
he slipped and fell on all fours, TAX
ing no count.
Carefully looking for his chance
Gus maneuvered Fox toward his
own corner. AS Billy threw right
hand, Lesnevich countered with
right to the body.
Il don't remember what I hit him
with after that" Gus said in the
dressing room, smiling happily and
bubbling like boy with a new toy
drum.
Then, he threw the book at Billy
boy. A right to the head, another
another and six in all. Fox sank to
the canvas. He wobbled to his feet
at six and Lesnevich rushed after
him, tugging at Referee Frank
Fullam who was trying to wipe the
resin dust off Billy's gloves.
When Fullam let them 60 at II
again, the champ drove home a
murderous right that draped we'll
beaten Billy over the bottom rope
Helpless he rolled to the floor, tried
weakly to get up but couldn't

baseball, but was showed into the
big time while I was still an in
FAINT in a baseball sense.
There were too many things I
didn't know. Mr.. Griffith corrected
one big fault when he told me to
stop galloping after grounders. /
was bobbing my head, taking balls
on half holds, rushing slow ground
ers too eagerly. I learned to glide
instead of gallop and to take my
time when fielding.
'Rooming with Kuhel was one of
the best breaks I could have gotten.
Honest, the fellow knows million
angles about fielding and hitting.
But the ball club was understanding
with me. There's only SO much in
formation you can shove at a young
ster or he becomes confused. They
didn't give me more than could
grasp at one time, but it does take
time to absorb the little niceties OF
the game.
Il think I'm ready now. I've been
waiting for this opportunity and l
believe I can make good. I didn't
hit for much of an average last year,
but my hitting was timely and I'm
convinced Ill be better hitter"
Father of a 6-year-old girl and a
4-year-old boy, the 27-year-old Sui
livan attended the University OF
Wisconsin for a year on a football
scholarship, but was injured. He
had baseball trials with the Chicago
White Sox and Chicago Cubs be-
fore being invited to work out with
Chattanooga in the waning days OF
the 1910 season.
He impressed Manager Kiki Guy
Ter, who instructed Johnny to report
for spring training the following
year. Johnny was signed and dis
patched to ThomaSville, Ga, for the
194l season. In June, 1912, Sullivan
was summoned to Washington after
only two months experience in an
AA league. He had much to learn,
but was forced to learn 1t the hard
way.
The Mats worked out only briefly
yesterday before rain drove them
to cover. Weather permitting, drills
will be intensified starting Monday
when the entire squad is scheduled
TO be on hand.
Due to report today or tomorrow
