LOUGHRAN IS STILL CHAMP By George Kirksey < < I’. I'. Staff Correspondent) Wllkesbarre, Pa ~ July 17—Ome again Tommy Loughran has retained his light heavyweight title by a dose margin. In the heart of the "Black Diamond" coal district last night Loughran Stood off the almost constant barrage of blows by Pete Latzo, the courageous shiv. At the end of ten rounds of furious fighting. Loughran was awarded the decision. Twice within seven weeks Latzo has made valiant but unsuccessful attempts to win the title from Lotigran. Each time Latzo lost but his margin of defeat was never decisive. night almost always on top of Loughtan, flailing away with both fists, Latzo kept him moving backwatd m st of; the time. The former Scranton miner started i slowly, losing the first three rounds. | But in the fourth, lie almost drove the champion out of the ring with a brilliant burst of fighting which taised a crowd of 15,1100 persons to its feet howl Ing for a knockout. Loughtan came back to win the I fifth by his constant jabs to the face with a ligbtrfing left. Latzo couldn’t keep that left out of his face, which perliaps is why Longhi an is still lightheavyweight champion. Latzo started another rally in the seventh round and continued it' through the eighth and ninth, winning ; each round on agressiveness. At the finish, Loughran was badly I spent so tired that he dropped his . weary arms at every opportunity. Lnt- ' zo too. was tired, but n t quite as much I as Tommy. Despite the closeness of the battle I . both judges. Michael J. Sim, Pittsburgh boilermaker and Edwaid Zweible, ' sports editor of the Pottsville, Pa., Re- I publican, voted for L ughran.
