' Greco Holds Jack To 10-Round Draw New York, Feb. U-HTi— Jolting Johnnv Greco —a brawny, dark haired, glittery-eyed welterweight from Montreal — was regarded with new respect today because his smashing holy attack had slowed up Beau Jack •'The Dixie Dynamo'' and held him to a 10-round draw before a sell-out crowd of 1X,911 at Madison Square Garden. The crowd paid 3118.152 —largest Indoor gate for non-heavy-weights in boxing history— for the privilege of witnessing an excellent fight. The first five rounds were electrifying, as both principals went all-out In trying for a knockout. After that the pace let down, and some of the fans whose appetites were whetted for a kayo began yelling for action. This bout between Greco, a 3 1 underdog. and brown-skinned Ja< k. former lightweight champion from Augusta, Ga., proved: 1 That Beau will have plenty of trouble in the talent rich welter division which Includes such worthies as champion Marty Servo. Ray ‘‘Sugar" Robinson. Tommy Hell and Jimmy Doyle: ami that the Beau, ambitious to he a successor to the great Henry Armstrong, lacks the ruggedness, stamina and punch of "little perpetual motion." 2— The Greco, an in-and-outcr of the past. Is a far more formidable fighter than he has been rated. 3— That the Imxlng boom is gaining momentum because the gate of 3148,152 was the third largest in the garden's history, being surpassed only by two heavyweight bouts: Jack Delaney vs. Jim Maloney with |2ff1,613 in 1927; and Joe taiuis vs. Buddy Baer with 1189.700 in 1912. I—That draws can happen in Garden bouts, despite the point system which was Introduced last April In New York state to bolster the round-by-round system. This was the first Garden draw since the introduction and the first main event draw in the state. Greco, enjoying a weight advantage of 145 U pounds to Beau's 112, was the Htronger physically. He forced the fighting throughout. constantly bulling his ,<t>pponents about the ring, and he finished fresher than the weary negro. However. Beau put up an excellent. game fight. He gashed Johnny's lower lip and (doodled his nose and mashed his left ear. —— ■*—e Veteran Highway Engineer Resigns Indianapolis.
