Rex Layne Knocked Out By Youngster NEV/ YORK, UP —Rex Layne, former heavyweight contender, still believed today he could stage a come-back although he suffered his third consecutive kayo Monday night by a youngster fighting his-first main event. Tommy (Hmn ricane) Jackson of New York. “I'm not hanging up my gloves!” exclaimed the battered mauler from Salt Lake City, who was stopped at 1:44 of the sixth round in Brooklyn’s Eastern Parkway Arena. » ”I’ll rest for a mouth at home and then try again," continued the 25-year-old veteran who. once had beaten Jersey Joe Walcott, Ezzard Charles, Cesar Brion and Bob Satterfield. ‘"He didn’t really hurt me. He Just tired me all out.”Layne. bleeding from a cut on the bridge of his nose and from a gash atop his head, was floored twice in the sixth round. A left hook dropped him the first time for a count of nine. Shortly thereafter he sank to the canvas under a barrage of blows. Then Referee Mark Conn. stopped the scheduled 10-rounder without attempting a count. i Jackson. 22 — who never had been slated for a Iff rounder before —was,.credited With a technical knockout. It was his seventh kayo and his 14th victory in 16 bouts since he turned, professional two years ago. Because Rex had suffered four defeats in five fights last year, the comparatively inexperienced Jackson went into the ring favored at 8-5. And Tommy's hurricane countering attacks upheld the odds.

Nats President Daniel Biasone said in Syracuse, N.
