ASCOT PARK, Los Angeles,

Fidel La Barb, Los Angeles
high school boy knocked from the
head of Frankie Genaro here to
night the crown fwhlch the New
jersey lad claimed as wWld's fly
weight chanipion. w La Barba won
by waiting for Gennaro to come In
and by left handing him for nine
rounds then carrying. the scrap to
the easterner In the tenth. In
the opening session the Los An
geles fighter spent much of his
time backing away as Genaro play
ed for an advantage, r The Calt
fornian kept his left busy and
earned th edge fcn this round.
i The stocky Genaro' again open
ed the second with, a rush and
right and lefted La Barba to such
an extent that thje round went to
New Jersey. The third was an
vpn ' break ' In !thn fourth La
Barba slipped to the mat and the
, New Jereeyite yelled their approv
. al of the little easterner, but La
Barba backing and jabbing, took
the majority of points. Genarj
came into the fifth with repeated
jabs to La Barba's head, scoring
in this way as they danced around
the. ring and wrestled ' on the
ropes. I . i- ;
Magee was represented at the
coroner's inquest by his attorney's
R. 11. Hanna, former democratic
candidate for the United States
senate, and Fred Wilson, both of
Albuquerque, but neither lawyer
cross examined the witnesses. '
The departure of Magee to his
home in Albuquerque' was singu
larly marked by the absence j of
demonstrations which were staged
during his libel and contempt
trials in 1923 and mi before
Judge Leahy. When Magee was
imprisoned here for a day and a
night In July, 1924j by Leahy for
contempt of court, there was con
siderable agitation among his sup
porters in East La Vegas and Jt is
believed, only, the warnirg of na
tional guard officers then in en
campment' here, prevented troubte.
