Win AAU Bouts

KANSAS CITY. May 6 (P.-
The Armed Forces fighting men
proved their fitness in the open
ing session of the 9th National
AAU boxing tournament last
night by scoring victories in Is of
the SO fights.
The Air Force moved seven
fighters into Ntonight's program
at Municipal Auditorium in
Kansas City, Mo. The Army
team advanced six fighters from
the opening bouts conducted be-
fore a small gathering in Memoir
ial Hall in Kansas City, Kans.
The only loss charged to the
service teams was against one
of its more highly regarded boys,
Jimmy Hornsby, in the 1872
pound class. Hornsby was out
pointed by Kenny Morris of
Kansas City who is fighting with
the Spokane, Wash, team.
Among the more impressive
fighters last night were Nicholas
Akana, of Honolulu. Hawaii, who
knocked out Dominick Palazollo,
Detroit, in ITO of the first round
in their 125-pound scrap, and
Bill Anderson of st. Louis, who
outpointed Charles Lincoln, of
