SPORTS

By Eddie Ash

IN A bristling bout between heavyweights at the armory last night the decision of two judges and the referee was a draw. . . . The adversaries were Johnny Denson, Indianapolis, and Bob Garner, Louisville’ s potentpunching Negro. Although Denson had the advantage of a heavy pull in weight, he was flattened for the count of eight in the first round when Garner hit the button with a right-hand haymaker. . . . But Johnny. survived the shock and put up a good fight over the scheduled eight-round distance. . . . As a matter of fact, he threw more leather than in previous appearances and actually forced the milling most of the way. Denson and Garner are known in ring parlance as ‘“counterpunchers” . . . they hesitate to lead . . . but they took turns last night but the local heavyweight was ahead in this respect. "The draw was a split decision. . . . From this corner the firstround knockdown scored by Garner and the fact that the officials took the fourth round away from Denson because of -a low punch prevented Denson from winning the decision.

There Was Some Blood-Letting

THE OPPONENTS put plenty of vigor into their work and both were bleeding freely at the finish, . . . Garner had a lot of misses chalked up as he tried desperately for a knockout... On the other hand, Denson scored with many lefts to the face and rights to the body. . . . Johnny's body punching probably escaped the view of many ringsiders . . . but it scored, nevertheless. It was the first time in local rings that Garner had to go all out. . . . In other matches here he won in quickie fashion and close fistic observers wondered if he could take it against a worthy foe. . . . Well, he answered that last might and the honors were 80 evenly divided that a return go between the pair looks to be in the offing. . . . Say for 10 rounds, instead of eight. - #..n =n sa = AFTER once kissing the canvas from Garner's right-hand wallop, Denson learned to slip away from it and Bob had a had night swinging his right and missing. . . . Johnny's left was his best weapon. . . . He was short with his right to the face although Garner had trouble evading his right to the bread basket. The boys earned their “cakes” and the ringsiders were convinced the match was worth an evening out.

Pfc. Shinn Stops Veteran Scully |

PFC. RICHIE SHINN of Ft. Harrison made short work of Sammy Scully, veteran junior lightweight of Chicago. . . . Sammy was no match for the agile soldier and was pounded hard in the first canto. , . . His left eye was cut by a flurry of Shinn’s punches. This bout was scheduled for eight rounds. . .. It ended in 1:12 of the second. . .. A right to the chin put Scully on the floor tor a nine count and shortly after he re-entered action, Shinn again hit the target and the Chicago veteran was counted out.

un ” ” ” ” Ed In the semi-windup last night, a six-rounder, Robert Simmons, local welterweight, decisiored Bill Parsons, Danville, Ill. . . . It was a stirring struggle and Parsons was in the resin for the count of nine in the first heat. . . . In a previous match, Parsons knocked out Simmons in the first round. Although Simmons couldn’t keep the Danville boxer down last hight he did evade most of Parsons’ roundhouse right-hand haymakers. . . . In the third canto, however, Parsons connected and Simmons staggered and held on until his head cleared. Simmons outboxed the visitor and annexed sufficient rounds to deserve the verdict.

Paul and Mills Mix in Thriller

EARL PAUL, Indianapolis lightweight, and Herman Mills, Chi€ago, staged an exciting go over the four-round route, . . . This department figured Mills the winner although the officials saw it the other way and Paul received the verdict. It was in interesting two-fisted bout between a couple of young gamecocks and they turned on a lot of speed and heat from the opening bell. . . . These lads threw lefts and rights all over the premises, with Paul a bit more aggressive, particularly in the last stanza. 8 2 =» : 8 8 8 IN THE opening prelim, a four-rounder, Marshall Allison, Shelbyvite veteran, decisioned Clinton Brooks, Indianapolis welterweight. . Brooks was flattened twice in the opening stanza and he was on the canvas again in the third. The paid attendance was approximately 2000.

No Brooklyn Manager Is Considered Yet

NEW YORK, Feb. 27 (U. P.).— With Manager Leo Durocher to be inducted into the army Monday, President Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers reiterated today that as yet he had not considered a replacement. “Not until

2:30 8:00

one minute after to figure on a new manager,” Rickey

said yesterday after returning from

Branch Rickey

a trip to the West Coast. “Reports that First Baseman Dolph Camilli would be lured back to Brooklyn by offer of the. job are entirely untrue.” Rickey revealed that he conferred with Camilli and six other Dodgers but barely discussed “baseball pbusiness.” “As far as Camilli’s retirement is concerned,” said Rickey, “I think he’s doing the right thing. I agree heartily with any player who remains out of the game if he thinks that by so doing he can contribute more to the war effort. I'll make no attempt to negotiate with any who tells me he’s more concerfied with war work—and that goes for Outfielder Dixie Walker, too.” Rickey revealed that Newt Kimball, winner of two games last season, has become baseball's first 1943 holdout. He returned his contract unsigned. Two who have signed are Pitcher Kirby Higbe and Second Baseman Billy Herman. This brings to five the number of Dodgers under contract. The others are Chet Kehn, Paul Waner and Johnny Cooney.

Hornets Come to Life to Slip By Washington i Tilt of Local Sectional Play

winner of the state high school basfrom one of the following teams:

Lawrence Central, Shortridge, Howe and Technical. Those were the four survivors today as the second round of play was completed at the Tech gym last night. Lawrence Central and Shortridge will clash at 1:30 p. m. today while Howe will meet Tech at 2:30 p. m.

The winners of these two games will battle for the sectional title at 8 o'clock tonight. Howe and Washington provided the thriller of the tournament as |far as the local sectional is coni cerned. The Hornets, after spotting the Continentals a 15-4 advantage at

halftime last night, roared back in|

the final two quarters to knot the {score and edge out a 28-27 vic- | tory that had the more than 5000 | fans at the Tech gym on their feet.

Southport Scares Tech

In other games yestreday afternoon and last night, Manual eliminated Sacred Heart, 35-18; Tech received a scare from Southport before winning, 38-35; Lawrence Central, defending champions, clipped Ben Davis, 45-35; Shortridge knocked off Beech Grove, 3926, and Tech blasted Manual, 4931.

thriller from the word “go.” The Continentals practically” ran the Hornets off the floor in the first two stanzas, holding Howe to a single field goal. The Irvington five connected on but one of 32 shots, while Washington made good on five out of 24. Howe came to life in the third period and racked up eight points before Washington found the range. From then on, the battle was nip and tuck with Whallon of the Hornets scoring the deciding goal with less than four seconds remaining in the game. Southport was leading Tech for the greater part of the first half but was unable to keep up the pace in the final two quarters. The Big Green had better luck with their basket eye in the Manual game.

Beech Grove Scrappy

Beech Grove put up a scrappy but futile fight against the Blue Devils while the Bears of Lawrence had little trouble with Ben Davis. Meanwhile the 256 surviving high school quintets throughout the state began to kill off 192 of their number, to leave 64 sectional cham-

-| pions by late tonight.

More than 100,000 fans packed 64 gymnasiums to watch tourneys that, so far, are unique in the 33-year history of the annual playoff—the upset demon still was inactive. Lafayette Jefferson and Gary Emerson tumbled last night in the only two major upsets of the cards. Meanwhile, South Bend Central, Columbus, Ft. Wayne Central, Muncie Burris, Jasper, Rochester and Indianapolis Tech, as well as the rest of the United Press “top 10” teams, advanced to semi-final (Continued on Page 13)

full 10-round distance for the first time in his career, 19-year-old Greco won the unanimous decision by an impressive margin last night over Shans, a tough, experienced Negro from Los Angeles. The experts said it was practically impossible for Greco to beat Shans if the bout went 10 rounds. They said he would have to knock out Shans in an early round to win. But the young Canadian soldier amazed the fistic fanciers and the 13,154 fans in Madison Square Garden with his thundering finish,

Battered Mercilessly

Jolting Johnny had Shans on the verge of collapse in the ninth round, and battered him mercilessly about the ring in the 10th, ending at full steam one of the grandest lightweight brawls staged in the Garden| in many a month. Shans, 25 years old and a veteran of more than 70 professional bouts, absorbed more punishment than in any previous engagement, but the Negro “iron man” shook off blows that apparently would have felled a horse and fought back from gong to gong—except in the ninth. The electrified fans were on their feet in nearly every session. Greco, a question mark fighter because his previous two Garden victories were first-round knockouts, proved last night that he has stamina, gameness and unusual strength in addition to a stunning punch in either fist. Promoter Mike Jacobs said afterward, “I'll match Greco with Beau Jack for the title as soon as possible.” He did not amplify this statement. Yesterday Jacobs matched Beau Jack for a title defense against Bob Montgomery of Philadelphia for the Garden May 14.

Accept Match Immediately

Greco's manager, Murray Elkins, said they would accept a match immediately with Beau Jack, or “if we have to wait until after May, we'll take on other opponents. Johnny will fight whenever he can get a furlough from the Canadian army.” The United Press scored six rounds for Greco, three for Shans and one even. Each was penalized a round for low blows.

Field of 11 In Handicap

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 27 (U, P.. —A field of 11, including every “name” horse in training except Calumet farm’s Whirlaway, will compete for the $25,000 stake of the New Orleans handicap at the Fair Grounds today, climaxing the most successful season in the 70-year history of the track. With Whirly being rested up for a busy spring and summer campaign, the Valdina farm entry of Rounders and Valdina Orphan will carry topweights and a large share of the public’s backing over the mile and one-sixteenth route. The Orphan will pack 126 pounds, his stablemate 124, and if both start they are expected to be a solid 8-to-5 favorite with a crowd of about 15,000.

Jimmy Collins Seriously Ill

BUFFALO, N. Y., Feb. 27 (U. P). —James L. (Jimmy) Collins, 70, considered one of the greatest of third basemen, was in Millard Fillmore hospital today seriously ill with pneumonia. Collins began his career with the Buffalo Bisons in the old Eastern league in 1893, and was purchased by the Boston Braves of the National league in 1895. He played

.the “hot corner” for the Braves un-

til 1901, when he went to the Boston Red Sox as manager. Under his guidance, the Red Sox captured the American league pennant in 1903, and was the first team ever to win a world series. In later years he managed the Minneapolis club in the American association, and Providence in the Eastern league.
