MICKEY WALKER DEFEATS RISKO Miami. Felt. 26. <U.R) — Mickey ’ Walker, weighing but 165% pounds, handed the 194-pound Johnny Risko j a sound drubbing here last night in the feature bout of "Pa" Strib-; ling s fistic carnival in the Madison ; Square Garden arena. The fight,; by the way, marked the second time Walker had taken a 10 round decision over the Cleveland boy. Walker, although he won seven of the ten tounds, had no easy time of it. The bout was a slashing afair from start to finish and many of the 25,000 customers resented the decision, believing that Risko deserved nothing worse than a| draw. Risko threw a scare into thei Walker supporters in the fi st round when he drove the New Jer-' sey middleweight all over the ring with furious rushes. Risko's other rounds were the fourth when he nailed his smaller foe with several hard rights, and the sixth when h ■' opened a nasty cut over Walker's ! left eye. Risko kept pounding away at the rest of the way, and ' Walker was not a pretty picture when the scrap ended. Mickey, however, did not let the! loss of blood worry him, taking thei seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth | rounds in order. The fifth round was the most spectacular of the lot. Soon after, the bell the boys stood head to ! head in the center of the ring and
