Clumsy Spaniard Easy Mark
for Lighter Man, But
Never Ceases His
Futile Advance.
(Aiw-elaM Pren Leaicd Wli) ' i
NEW YORK, Aug. 12 The Span-:
Ish menuco to American heavy- i
weight supremacy had drifted over
the list lc horizon today, temporar
ily at least, on the wings of as un
satisfactory and disputed a balllu
as the Dempsey-Sharkey fight.
Pounded but not greatly dam
aged by every clout known to flsti
cuffH, the title threat of Paoliuo
Uzscuduu, wood chop per of the
Pyrenees, faded when Jack De
limey's right hand wan lifted In
victory oh a foul, after 1 minute
and 57 Becouds of fighting in the
seventh of a 15 round fight at the
Yankee stadium last night.
Thrice warned by the referee or
low punching, Paolino was waved
to his corner after a fourth left
hook landed below the belt. The
result stunned the spectators, who
hud seen nothing untoward In the
milling, and left In its wake a con
troversy of "foul or no foul."
Dslaney Plainly Master
White tho fraens lasted there
was no question of supremacy, Ite
t,urning to heavyweight rankHvaix
months -after his defeat by Jimmy
Muloney, Dolanoy 'spoared Paolino
at will; cut hisface and bruised
his nose until his features were a
mass of blood. But bard and
straight ns (be punches flew,
Paolino refused to go down or
waver. Ho never once baited a
steady although futile advance.
Weighing 16 pounds less than
tho squat Spaniard, Delaney, at
177i was little over the weight
limit or tho light heavyweight di
vision, where he ruled as cham
pion before relinquishing the title
to cast his lot among tho heavy
weights. .
There . was little to thrill tho
spectators in the six rounds oi:
milling preceding the unsatisfac
tory ending. It was a cuse of De
laney, artistic boxer and master of
ring arts, matching nil his skill
against a powerful but clumsy op
ponent, . who bud little but a
swooping lei't hoolc and elbow de
fense in his fighting repertoire.
Occasionally Paolino caught the
tall, brou ed woodsman in a clinch
or surprised him with a sweeping
random shot In the head. In the
close range the basque drove stiff
shots Into Dcluney's body hut the
toll he paid was heavy in ripping
Jolts, jabs, and upperculH to the
head and ribs. Ai the close, Pao-
lino's mouth, nose and left eye
wore bleeding freely.
Protector Dented
Half way through the final ses
sion, Roteree Crowley pulled tho
Spun lard back to warn him that
his fists were sinking below tho
wutsl lino. There followed a clinch
at the ropes, with the gloves of
both fighters flying to tho body,
and the sudden waving of Paolino
to bis corner, the Spaniard us
much mystified as tho spectators.
Hats flow into the ring as thou
sands of spectators gathered about
the enclosure and jeered their dis
approval at (he ending. As Paoli
no bounced about. In a series of
acrobatic stunts on the canvas,
Peto Rellly, manager of the Itrldge
port warrior, dashed about the en
closure, waving a metal cup, groin
protector, that showed several
dents. Ringside opinion differed
but a majority of newtmaper men
agreed that Paollno's blows even
low, did not do enough damage to
merit disqualification.
Hitting In his . corner. Delaney
displayed no sign of Injury and
made no effort to appear hurt.

CHICAGO, Aug. 12. The house
hunters for Dempse have chosen
