Bainbridge Sailors
Take Every Trophy
In Golden Gloves

The sailors from Bainbridge
Naval Training Station cleared
out the town last night, taking
every trophy there was to take
from the District Golden Gloves
boxing tournament back to their
post Just the other side of Bal
timore.
They won the senior and
novice team championships, pro-
duced the outstanding novice
and senior boxers and came up
with the outstanding service
boxer. There wasn't a prize
left for any one else.
A crowd Of about 5000 at
Uline Arena was treated to a
wild night all the way through
in the windup of one of the
best Golden Gloves Journeys
ever held. There were knock
outs and split decisions, one of
which was so loudly protested
by the crowd it was hard to get
the program moving again.
fThere also was one beaten and
disappointed fighter who swung
on his opponent after the de-
cision and nearly caused a riot.
; Bainbridge Loses One Bout.
Bainbridge had fighters in all
of the three final senior division
bouts, and won two of them to
lock up the team title there.
Middleweight Warren Peterson
gave Robert Stevenson of Camp
Pickett such a beating that
Stevenson wasn't able to come
out for the third round. In the
hght-heavyweight class. Charles
Butler knocked down Ralph
Meador of the CYO twice in the
first round and won on a techi-
cal knockout in the second.
! A complete sweep was missed
when Heavyweight Dan Logan
Of cambridge droppe da deci-
Sio nto Warrenel Lester of Fort
Meade in the windup.
Peterson earned the Times
Herald Welfare Association
watch as the outstanding senior
boxer, and Butler took the James
A. Sullivan Memorial Trophy as
the outstanding service boxer.
In the novice division, it was
Welterweight Joe Grippen of
Bainbridge who won the Fred
Hartley Trophy as the outstand-
ing boxer there after a split de-
ciSion victory in a slugging
match against James TAFT of
the CYO.
Decision Protested.
What caused deal of trouble
In the novice division was the
windup heavyweight bout which
went to John O'Hanlon of Balm
bridge on a split decision over
Len Kanthal of CYO. It gave
the team title there to Balm
bridge by only one point, and
Kanthal'S numerous supporters
protested loudly. If any one had
to get a decision in that very
close bout. however, O'Hanlon
probably earned it by being more
aggressive against the counter
punching Kanthal.
The two senior defending
champions who reached the
finals kept their titles. Flyweight
Billy Hill Of Northeast AC, who
also is the National AAU cham
pion. barely made it by taking
a split decision over Ahmed Shah
Of Merrick Club in a fast and
close bout. In almost as close
a fight, Joe Gilchrist of the
Twelfth Street YMCA success
fully defended his bantamweight
title against George Davis of
Fort Meade. Davis, the ALL
Army champion. was decked in
the second round to make what
difference there was in this bout.
