The Texan was off in his timing and the Ohio Negro was too for him to find a target. . . . In the 10th session Marshall lly connected with a solid right and Walker was staggered. . . , Buckeye recovered quickly, however, and peppered his foe with ‘of lefts to the face and short rights to the body. The action fell far below expectations due to the fact that Mar. all was outboxed from the opening bell. . . . It wasn't long before ‘Texan was so far behind that only a haymaker could have saved ‘and he was unable to produce.

Jot it down that Marshall is too slow and muscle-bound to stand & chance with the smooth-moving Buckeye belter. . = Attendance at the five-bout program took a nose dive and the total was approximately 1500. ne . & =» ss » @ semi-windup, staged after the main go, Colin Chaney, young Negro heavyweight, decisioned Mickey McKin‘pees, St. Charles, Ill, in six rounds. . . .

McKinness was severely punished by both jarring lefts and ‘fights and the ringsiders were generous with applause over his gourageous showing. . . » Chaney had the superior reach and height and used both to advantage. . . . McKinness made a fight of it by wading in and throwing leather, although he failed to win a round.

_ IN THE second prelim, a scheduled six-rounder, Jerry. Pittro, Chicago welterweight built like a fire plug, flattened Tommy Merritt, Union City, Ind., in 2:32 of the fourth round. . .. This was a torrid punchfest in which Pittro set a swift pace with both hands. It was a hit-and-clinch affair and -resembled a barnyard fight 1 a couple of game cocks. . . . But Merritt was unable to keep ‘Blitro from charging and eventually the Chicago lad cut through tHe Hoosler's defense and popped him with a potent punch in the gok. . . .

Four-man hockey was the style again shortly when a melee broke out on the ice and the Caps’ Tony Buckovich and Buller drew major

Sherritt took the boos and the penalty he drew with the same demeanor—his question from both the penalty box and the ice was: “How's Detroit doing?” Sherritt, while playing rough in the American league, still hopes to follow the trail of his fellow skaters Vie Lynn, Nakina Smith and Red Kane to the bigger, if not better, National league.

Sammy Angott Is 3-1 Choice

NEW YORK, Dec. 17 (U. P.)— Slammin’ Sammy Angott, the National Boxing association's lightweight champion, is a 3-1 favorite to spank the ring’s “problem child,” Young Bobby Ruffin, tonight in their 10-round non-title bout at Madison Square Garden, Ruffin became a “problem child” on Oct. 4 by winning an upset decision over Beau Jack. Since then his prowess or lack of it has puzzled the experts; he burned himself with a sun lamp, causing postponement of tonight's bout from Nov, 29, and he has been bickering constantly with Beau Jack, Angott and Promoter Mike Jacobs. Angott is the lop-sided favorite because he hasn't been beaten by a legitimate lightweight in five years, and because most of the experts regarded Ruffin’s victory over Beau Jack as a fluke, caused more by Jaek's injured knee than by Bobby's boxing skill.
