Ike Williams TKOs Titular Fight Is Halted In Fourth Round ' Mexican's Boss Cries r "Foul," Charging Negro With "Eye Thumbing" LOS ANGELES, July 22. UP) The championship dream of Mex ico's Enrique Bolanos was shat tered by a lourth round techni cal knockoui from the furiouj fists of deadpan Ike Williams but the result brought a qui:k charge of "foul" from the Latin's manager.

Some 18,999 . spec tators paid $108,274 to see the fierce beating, promoted for the benefit of the Lou Costello Jr., youth foundation. Williams weighed 135 pounds and Bolanos 133. Early today, George Parnassus, manager of the defeated chal lenger, said his boy has been "thumhed" In the eve and thus blinded by Williams, a charge which the champion quickly de nied. Referee Jack Dempsey, like wise, said he didn't see any foul play with the thumb. But Par nassus said he would take his accusation before the (jamornia Athletic commission In formal protest. It Is no secret that Bolanos' left eve trouble marked the be ginning of the end. It started closing early in the third and was shut completely by the end of the round. Parnassus said that Bolanos complained as early as the first round that Williams was giv ing him "the thumb." Parnassus protested to Dempsey In the third who relayed the protest to Wil liams. Eye Injury Serious Dr. R. J. Carrcon Jr., an eye specialist who looked at the dam aged orb a'ter the ficht, said the Injury was serious.

J Negro and his third defeat at the hands ot the 25-year-old champion.., Champion Ike, appearing fast er and stronger than in the'r firevlous matches, started wing ng at the opening bell. He had the end In sight at the close of the third canto when Bolanos' left eye was shut tight from Jolting right smashes. Bolanos persuaded his corner to let nlm go out for the fourth where he battled on even terms for the first minute. But then the sky fell on him. - A withering left hook "to En rique's chin dropped him to both knees. He was up at nine, but Williams, with rocking blows to the head and body, sent him to the canvas again. Referee Demnsev and Bolanos' handlers hailed the proceedings simultaneously with 20 seconds left In the round. Til Nrw Rudif-Rti It's a FREEMAH Shoe , ... ond what o lot of shoe it is for the money.

Performance Of PALS Draws Heavy Applause By DAN MINDOLOVICH News-Review Sports Writer Mickey Pease, PAL club di rector, proved last night at Fin lay field what can be done with a group of boys when given the opportunity to develop talents that might be wasted but for such an organization as he has launched. Spectators agreed by their heavy applause that the partici pants in the two-hour tumbling and boxing show put on a brilli ant performance that compared favorably with the "performance of professionals. Johnny Rokstad, 12, and Blon die Stanley, 14, amazed the crowd with tumbling acts on both the trampoline, a rectangular stretch ed canvas device bordered by springs, and the seesaw. Aided by tumbling coach Jean Dunn, the young couple went through a routine of intricate maneuvers that were thrilling and spectacu lar to behold. Little Johnny turned flips while jumping two ropes one swung by Dunn and Stanley, and another turned by himself. While Jumping both ropes at i the same time, he also did Hips, turns and belly flops on the trampoline pretty hot stuff for a 12-year-old who has been with the organization only four months. Boxing Also Thrill A retinue of ambitious and hard-working boxers provided many a thrill, in spite of the fact that no KO's were recorded. Fast action and grim determina tion, with no punches pulled, made up for lack of spilled blood. Sportsmanship was evident throughout the fights. Although many of the contestants were Negroes, fighters were not backed on the basis of their skin color ing. The underdog was usually cheered, color notwithstanding. In this respect, the troupe set an example for others to follow. Pease offered proof-positive that a boy with "something to do" has little time to become a statistic in a juvenile court. He also has little time to con sider the merits of a natural or acquired suntan. positions will be Dick Jacobson, Dick Lytle, Don Debernardi and Larry Henninger.
