O O Todc/s Sports Parade | By Oscar Fraley | Rag. U. 8. Pat OR.) | O — O New York. June 29.—(UP)— Light,hitting Allie Slolx wasn’t light-weight champion of the world today but be was all square with the gallery gods. For the second time Stolx lost his chance for ring greatness test night when he failed to dethrone the hard punching Bob Montgomery. He had fsiled once before

against Sammy Angott. and this time he was stretched flat at 2:54 of the 13th round. Bit Allie didn’t go down easy and It paid off in defeat the dreams of a boy In peanut heaven. Because It wasn’t so many years ago that Allie, then a youngster whose parents thought he was at a Newark movie, eat entranced up there In the high reaches of Madl son Square Garden and thrilled to the fistic courage of such battlers at Tony Cansoneri. U»u Ambers and Jimmy MeLarnin. Always a fragile youngster, AIBe still was a natural athlete. He could have been a golf professionsi or a Imsketball star, sports In which even at an early age he showed great aptitude. But the kid's heart was down there in that little white patch of light and he yearned to show the raw, red courage of the furioua figures wlnimlll Ing In the current of vUcm. No. Allie didn't win laat night. Hut be paid a lot of other youngsters In full his debt to the gallery gods.

There have been whlepers from lime to time that the Newark fighter didn’t have the moxie. the stuff he used to admire from up there In those hard wooden seats. They won’t ever say It again. Allie proved that no gamer battler ever drew the heart-stopping roar of approbation Cram admiring fans who usually clamor tor a knockout. For Montgomery wag throwing them from the outfield—and there were very t»w that Allie missed. He was down for a two count in the second and then for the toll of seven in toe fifth, and they were ■ saying: "not long now." In the ( sixth he was running out of gas and still, somehow, he stayed in there and weathered the etorm. Through the seventh, the eighth, the ninth and the tenth, be couldn’t hold the arms up anymore and a bob and a weave was all that kept his head on hM should»ro That failed, too. In the 11th, and a slashing right sent his tired body spinning to the floor. Somehow at six he was on bis feel and out on them, too—only to go down for another count of two. “Rub my arms.” he muttered In his corner. They did and Allie eent out for the IZth hardly knowing what be was doing. There waa barely an effort at defense now. Stolx simply walked In with bls arms down al bls sidro, trying to bring them up and throw a punch, but they flapped wildly like a bagger’s sleeves In the wind. There was no exprear lon on bls face when the final inevitable blow chopped In to the chin and stretched him un tbe floor. And even; then the old meraortes of other 1 men making game efforts in a! little patch of white light boredInto hie brain and Allie tried to I rise again.
