RedI's Streak Broken
Disputed Knockdown

that ruined Redl's perfect ring
record after II straight victor
les. He seemed to have the
round won until the knock
down. But all officials gave the
sixth to Kerwin.
HE got hit by a right hand
and both gloves touched the
floor" Napp said. The rule
on knockdowns is very plain.
Look it up. 1t says a fighter
is down when any part of his
body other than his feet is on
the ring floor. That's the way
I saw it and that's the way
I called it."
Vic Marsillo, one of Redl's
handlers. disputed the call.
"Only one glove touched" he
said. THE knee has to touch.
too"
The New York rulebook backs
up the referee who, incidentally,
was the only official to vote for
Redl. Napp had it Sal. Judge
Frank Forbes scored it Sal
for Kerwin and Judge Artie
Ardala Ga for KerWin. The
Associated Press was Sal for
Kerwin.
When all precincts we're
counted on a final ringside poll
of boxing writer's. it was a tight
fit with an 11-9 edge for
Kerwin.
Redl came out of the fight
with more than damaged pride.
He had a jagged cash over the
left eye that may require five
or six stitches. The cut opened
in the seventh and spurted
blood from time to time.
Redl weighed 1451a to Ker-
wins 1929 but the winner had
the edge in height and reach.
When the decision was an
nounced, Kerwin, the 7-to-5
favorite, turned cartwheels
around the ring. Redl scowled.

DeIony Meets
in
Boxter Mile

NEW YORK. Feb. Is (R.-
Runner meets racer tonight in
the Baxter Mile at the New
York Athletic Club Games in
Madison Square Garden.
IStvan Rozsavolgyi of Hun
gary is the runner. Ron Delany
of Ireland and Villanova is the
racer.
Down through the years the
racers usually have beaten the
runners. Glenn Cunningham's
almost complete mastery over
Gene Venske is a good example.
Furthermore Delaney, the
Olympic 1.500-meter cham
pion. has won 10 straight mile
races over the past three years
Of running on boards. He's
used to indoor tracks and pos
sesses a remarkable sprint
finish that has ground down all
MS opposition.
Hungarian Goes for Records
Rozsavolgyi, who holds the
listed world records at 1000,
$500 and 1000 meters, goes all
out at the start. Pace means
nothing. If there is a world
record listed for the event, he
goes for it.
He blandly admits he will
try to break Gunnar Nielsen's
world indoor mile mark Of
4:03.6. But he never has run
indoors in his life and never
even saw a board track until
he popped up at Manhattan
College for a workout a few
hours after landing here from
Budapest Thursday.
That Rozsavolgyi will be able
to make the transition after
working out on boards just
once The skipped yesterday in
favor of a jaunt in Central
Park is doubtful. But he GER
tainly isn't worried, and that's
a good sign.
Watches Chief Rival
Delany usually ignores the
lesser lights in a race and
concentrates on the fellow he
considers his most serious
threat. 1t seems fairly certain
that he won't let Rozsavolgyi
get too far out front, for he
doesn't know yet if the Hum
garian can do the final quar-
ter in less than a minute.
1t would be too much Of a
gamble for Delany to hang
back 20 or Is yards as he has
a penchant for doing. He'll
have to keep within hailing
distance of Rozsavolgyi and
that could lead to a record.
Jim Grelle. the 4:07.l Oregon
runnerup to Delsny in the
NCAA championships last
spring. will make his first in
door start in the race. Also on
hand will be Jim Beatty of the
Army, Burr Grim of Maryland.

Zbigniew Orywal of Poland.
Dave Scurlock of North Caro-
lima is the favorite to make it
three straight by winning the
Matt Halpin half mile. while
Charlie Jenkins, Villanova' S

The contempt sentences given
them in United States District

from their failure to appear In

pursuant to q surrender order
after the Supreme Court had
rejected their appeal.
They finally surrendered in

The three-year contempt
terms were in addition to the

In appealing their contempt
sentences, Green and Winston
questioned whether criminal
contempt may be punished by

that there was an abuse Of
