Tommy Loughran Holds Off Giant DespiteCut Lip NEW YORK, Nov. 23 P) With the aid at one of th most surprising notions over taken in tv New York ring, Tommy Loughran, the veteran boxer from Philadelphia, has demon strated that - the young giant, Bay ImpelHtlere, Isn't ready to become a heavyweight title contender yet. The big moment of , the battle, which otherwise was mostly a dem onstration of Loughran's well known 1oxlng skill, came In the ninth round. A right uppercut caught his mouth and cut lit ibadly. Referee Pete Hartley wasted no time about halting the proceedings. After one look at the stream of blood pouring down Loughran' chest he raised Impelli tlere's hand In token of victory. At this point General John J. Phe lan. chairman of tho New York Stato Athletic commission took a hand, Fighting his way through the howl ing crowd of 6,000 to the ringside, he ordered the fight continued. No one at the ringside could recall a similar situation In which a com missioner had over-ruled a referee. Tommy was patched up between rounds and promptly lit Into his oversize opponent and never stopped punching until the fight ended. The "Imp," however, showed sur prisingly sound boxing form. He Jab bed his long left at Tommy's face, used his right uppercut well at times and made the Phtladelphian open up with every bit of his best boxing to got anywhere.
