Swift, No-Quarter Mix .
Is Close all the Way !
. By RON GEMMELL i
Statesman Spcrta ditor. ,,r
Powder Kid Proctor smiling and unmarked except for slight lip
and eye abrasions, emerged from Salem's armory arena, last nlgnt
with s decision jover Leo The. Lion" Turner after the swiftest It
rounds of iive-no-quarter fistic quarreling that have been staged there
for at least four years. :;."v j-v.,v )";':
With Eef eree Frfseo Edwards' decision went the right to meet Ter
rible Tony Kahut in the same enclosure March for the state middle
weight crown, ;:. '-1
It was a close fight all the way,
with Proctor emerging on the long
end of the scoring only after two
rounds had been -deducted from
Turner's tally for alleged illegal
use of elbows.
Stand Toe-to-Toe
Knowing the score was close,
both boys nudged noggins and
stood toe- to-toe to battle it out
with wining hooks and flailing
uppercuts for the final stanza.
The crowd, definitely a Proctor
gathering, urged them on but they
needed no urging.
It was the first 10-round at
tempt of Proctor's 19 years, and
amazingly enough, it was his su
perior condition that ultimately
told the tale.
Turner started strong, looking
like "The Lion" of two years ago
as he rocked the lithe Proctor with
left hooks in the first two heats.
From there he never looked the
same, although on The Statesman
card he held Proctor even in the
fifth, eighth and ninth, and won
the sixth.
Proctor's largest round margin
was in the seventh, when he un
leashed a two-handed attack that
put Turner on the ropes and re
peatedly staggered him about the
ring. But except for the first,
second and sixth, the Powder Kid
carried the fight to Turner and
never gave ground once.
Disregarding the alleged elbow
work, The Statesman , card read:
Turner The first, second and
sixth.
Proctor The third, fourth,
seventh and 10th.
Even The fifth,-eighth and
ninth.
Neither colored clouter pulled
a punch the whole route. Each was
terrifically fast -with his hands,
and each shook the other up at
times. Neither scored a clean
knock down, as each rolled with
the punching and staved off solid
leather.
Turner came in over the weight,
at 161, while Proctor scaled 154.
Logger Jack Hibbard, the old
trial horse, sustained a severely
cut eye and was forced by Referee
Edwards to retire, the recipient of
a TKO, in his effort to substitute
for John L. Sullivan in the semi-
windup. Hibbard, who had a
slight edge over Stan Virgis, a
surprising middleweight now liv
ing here, gashed his forehead al
most to the bone when he butted
it against Virgis' shoulder.
The fight was stopped midway
of the fifth round.
Other results:
Young Joe Kahut, 146, Wood
burn, was awarded an unpopu
lar decision over Joey Fields,
148, Chelialis.
Boxcar Kline, 163, Jungle

sation that Gus "took a perfect dive for Joe Louis and a call for an
inquiry by the senators themselves.. i ' i j
r!ried Senator John J. Haluska. back In legislative halls after;
night out in which he saw the pride of South Philadelphia fold und?r
the Louis gloves in the second round: f ; J
"We should investigate to determine if possible who was respon

that he knew a "perfect dive"
when he saw one. He used to be a
boxer. I
Joe Martino, manager of Dora-
zio, retorted: : i
"The senator is either1 blind or
crazy." He added mat nothing
would give him greater pleasure
than to watch "one of those sena
tors, take a punch like the one
Louis threw at Dorazio."
Demand No Surprise
Senator Haluska's demand for
an inquiry and his cry of "frame
up" came as no great surprise. He
was among a delegation of sena
tors , who watched the fight - as
guests of Senator H. Jerome Jas

a resolution to investigate the
Pennsylvania Athletic commission.
The senate judiciary committee
has referred the resolution to a
subcommittee.
Dorazio alone remained calm
and, though somewhat j out of
shape, apparently in fair health.
He was not one to shed much
light for he swore he "didn't feel
a thing." In fact he could not
even join the class of past Louis
victims now telling how hard the
Brown Bomber hits. Said! Gus, it
was like this: !
