NEW YORK, May 16 Oh Back Into

out KnoCK out me eouin American
giant in their ten round bout In
Madison Square Garden last night.
Tommy received the unanimous ver
dict of the referee and two judges
and an ovation from the crowd of
10.000.
The victory put Loughran back In
the high place he held in the heavy
weight picture before he was stopped
by Jack Sharkey two years ago. He
now must be given equality with
Sharkey, Max Schmellng and Young
Strlbllng and probably will figure
In one of the big outdoor heavy
weight shows this summer.
Caiiipulo LiMHH out
Campolo seems to have lost his
chance of edging into the picture.
He made a sorry showing against the
nimble, smart Loughran and at the
end was much more tired than his
littlo conqueror.
Caught napping by Campolo's
opening rush. Tommy took plenty of
body punishment throughout the
opening stanza. That round, and
l tne ninth, were the only ones that
. L-ampoio won.
j Campolo had been labelled a heavy
rignt nana puncner but Tommy took
shls best punches without waverlnir
perceptibly.. And Tommy, notoriously
one oi uie ngntesc n liters in tne
business, several times nearly floored
the giant with straight rights that
landed on Campolo's chin as he
floundered In.
; In the eighth round, the rivals
collided head-on and Loughran came
out with a deep cut over his left
eye.
Blood poured from the wound as
Campolo carried ;he fight to the
Philudelphtun in the ninth round
and Tommy took a bad beating be
fore the bell came to his rescue. In
tho lust round he drew blood from
Campolo's nose with a hard right
Just before the final bell.
Loughran weighed 184 pounds;

were all washed up.
"What about your engagement to
Neil Albert Miller?" a questioner
asked.
"Pou." she replied. Reporters
stared blankly. The actress laughed.
"Pou." she explained, "means In
Honolulu all through, finished, all
washed up I'm going to stay single."
While in Honolulu, a marriage li
cense was issued bearing her name
and Miller's but the wedding was
never held. Nor did Miss Mackaill
explain why.

company's report that one out of wmmmm
six adult persons injured in ac- I : : -r.
cidents of all kinds last year was '
hurt while engaged In sports and
recreational activities. )
A quiet afternoon on the golf
course, It seems, is apt to be the
most dangerous spot in all fields of
competition. More adults were In
jured while playing golf than In j
any, other game, 12 per cent of tho
total accldefits having occured last .
year on the links.
"More than 60 per cent of the in- j
Juries suffered by golfers were the '
result of slips and falls on uneven :
ground," says the report, "while the I
next largest number of golf accidents .
was aue to Deine struck by living oo-'
jects."
Goners undoubtedly would con
sider football much more hazard
ous, .but the rougher and tougher
gridiron sport produced onjiy two
per cent of the uccident quota, as
compared with golf's 12 per cent,
Daseoau s 1 1 per cent, and basket
ball's five per cent.
Picnics, outings and dancing, if
they are , included In the recrea
tional fold, accounted for 10 per cent
of the mUhaps and winter sports four
per cent.
7 he moral, if any. seems to be to
take out more insurance If you play
golf.
