Murphy Dares Chamr
After Bloody Victory
Over Bucceroni
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. IT. - Irish
Bobby Murphy dared Light
heavyweight Champion joey
Maxim to put his title on the
line today and then went out to
march with the st. Patrick's, Day
Iparaders.
The grinning, stout hearted
Iredhead from San Diego cele-
Ibrated st. Paddy's eve by blast
ling out a technical knockout over
Ilanky, green Danny Bucceroni in
81 seconds of the fifth round of
Ia bloody slugfest in Madison
Square Garden last night.
"A few minutes later. still in his
blood trunks, Bobby went
on a television network show to
tell the folks how he did it. Then
home for a warm bath and to pre-
pare his brown suit. green tie, and
a shamrock for the march up
Fifth Avenue.
Murphy Shows Stamina.
How the durable ex-gob can
soak up punishment the way he
does and come out smiling was
the wonder of the 6,726 fans
($22,835 gross gate) in the Gar
den and the millions of television
viewers.
Young Bucceroni, out for his
first crack at a major foe, threw
all of his 172 pounds at the
Echarging Bull of the West. He
hit him with dozens of rights and
tlefts. he shook up his 177-pound
rival, but he couldn't keep him
from coming.
! Murphy soaked up the punches,
shook off power-packed blows
that rocked his head, and stormed
on. He put his head on Buccy's
chest and walled away with a rip
ping left uppercut and a short
left chop to the head.
| In two rounds Bucceroni's face
was red smear. After three
rounds both fighters and Referee
Ruby Goldstein were covered with
blood. In the fourth, Bucceroni
Itottered and when Murphy pinned
his exhausted rival in corner in
the fifth and belted away with
both hands, Goldstein stopped the
blood-letting.
Bucceroni Is Cut Up.
/ Bucceroni, winner of 80 of 81
previous fights and the last 18 in
a row, was cut over both eyes,
under his right eye and bled free
Ily from the nose and mouth.
Murphy dripped gore from his
nose in the crimson battle.
There was only one knockdown
in the first round-and it came
with Murphy's first solid punch,
"a left hook to the jaw. Up to
the knockdown. lanky Danny had
! the crowd bowling with his iarring
.lefts and rights to the head. The
pattern continued.
The Philadelphia 23-year- old
] WOulQ come out swinging, and
landing, for about minute. Then
Murphy would swarm in, and
batter his foe at close range.
I Boy, he can hit" said the
amiable Murphy. He rocked me
several times, but I always knew
what I was doing. I was never
Idazed.
Nov I'd like to get Maxim for
the title" added the 28-year-old
veteran. IF not, I'd like Mat
jtheWS again"
;, Murphy was referring to Harry
Matthews, the Seattle contender
who gave Bobby a good pasting
in the Garden two weeks ago.

Chandler Likes Golf Gar Idea, But Pros Are Puzzled

Little, a committee member, said
that he did not know of any move
to get Chandler.
Clayton Haefner of Charlotte
N. c., when asked about the pro-
posal, said: That's the most alb
surd thing I ever heard. Does he
have the know-hoW?"
Chandler would have the re-
spect of the players, Haefnel
added but too many TECHNICAL
ties would be involved.
Johnny Palmer, prominent
tournament golfer. but not a
member of the Tournament Com
mittee, said he felt golf could use
a job such as commissioner. He
said he agreed with Haefner, how
ever, that it must be a man who
would know the ins and outs.

president, now at Bellaire, Calf.
In Jacksonville three PGA
Tournament Committee members

it was all news to them.
Lawson Little of Monterrey,
Calf, said that before anything
like that can be considered, ways
must be found to overcome the
big financial obligations it would
entail
He said expected finances would
barely meet expected expendi-
lures for the year and pointed
out that the PGA constitution
would have to be changed at the

 Seven Third Division Representatives made a great cry of sectionalism during the debate on the memorial
 If there is sectionalism in Legislature, we be- lieve the prime guilt lies in the Third Division.

power commission which he or ganized They recall that during the recent war and before he went to Germany as military governor Clay demanded of FDR that there be compulsory allocation of labor under labor draft.
 That was one reason why the five leaders went to see mobilization czar Charlie Wilson last week to try to keep civilian manpower under the Labor Department. They got nowhere. Wilson's attitude during the bitter meeting was I'm running things-we'll do it my way" though he didn't put it quite so bluntly.
 He didn't have to. On the way to the meeting the labor group had read news story telling of Will sons and General Clays plan to set up their own manpower com mission under Civil Service Com missioner Arthur Flemming-with Clay, however, as the real boss. Wilson did not deny the story. Nor did he seem concerned when the labor leaders reminded him that he was setting up a board to control labor without consulting labor.

the memorial We fail to see this. The statehood bill them 10 delegates to the convention The memorial asks that they be given 12 delegates. What they have lost and perhaps this is the real for their anguish is the opportunity to control the convention by electing their 10 dele gates plus six or the delegates at large We believe fitting that this opportunity be denied them It is exceedingly strange view of their present attitude that Third Divisoners made protest agansh the provisions of last years statehood bill
 We are speaking now of H. R. 331 It provided constitutional convention with 26 delegates nolud ing eight from the First Division four from the Sec ond eight from the Third five from the Fourth and one at large.
 It would seem that if the Third Division is injured by the 8412-3 representation requested in the mem oral, it was severely damaged by the provisions q H. R. 331.
 Now, a number of people from the Third Division testified before the Senate Committee Interior and Insular Affairs last April concerning II. R. 331
 They included Robert B Atwood Edward V Davis, Judge Anthony J. Dmond, Senator Gunnard Enge- breth John Hellentha Mayor Zachary Loussac former Representative A. A. Owen Jr4 MT. and Mrs. John Ryan and Nick Sablick.
 careful examination of the record of that hearing fails to disclose single protest concerning the apportionment of delegates to the convention as
  Senator Engebreth told the committee: T believe H. R. 331 satisfactory to the great majority of Alaskans" He was here clearly speaking for the Third Divison because he had previously told the committees Most of you know that our city of Anchorage and division represents great major ty of the total population of Alaska"
 Most of the Third Division witnesses at the hear ing directly expressed themselves satisfied with H. R. 331 and several urged that it be passed without change.
 In view of this, the present situation is very puzzling When the Third Division had approximately 3l per cent of the total representation in the Vention it was satisfied.
 But now, with some 39 per cent of the represen- ation it's screams of anguish terrible to hear. Many person has mind that is neither open nor closed It check valve that allows prejudces to enter but keeps from escaping.

 Well, we don't like proposi- tion like that" spoke up CIO Pre- sident Phil Murray. We represent the men and women who are en- gagged in war production work and we think we should at least have an equal voice in the governments manpower policies"
