ZuIueto, Lightburn
Stage Another Of
Their Close Bouts

NEW YORK, July IA (P.-If
Orlando zulueta and Ludwig
Lightburn fight Is times, the
scoring probably would go GA or
Sal every time. Last night at
Madison Square Garden it was
Zulueta, the 28-year-old Cuban,
who won all the votes, GA, by
Referee Petey Scalzo and Judge
Joe Schecter and Sal by Jack
Gordon.
A low blow by Lightburn, the
3-to-l favorite from British Hon.
duras, cost him at least a draw,
Referee Scalzo took the seventh
round from Lightburn for the
blow and that turned out to be
zulueta's victory margin.
The small crowd of about 1900
for the nationally televised bout
seemed to like the decision but
a ringside poll of newsmen
showed 8 of Is voting for Light
burn.
Zulueta's Tapping left piled up
points early and Lightburn's
body punching drew him even in
the middle rounds. Lightburn
missed often and failed to apply
constant pressure to the fancy
Cuban.
