ELDER JONES BOY
GAINS REVENGE ON
IT BROTHERS
Tony Jones put all 211 pounds of
his hulking frame Into one tremen
dous wallop last night In the armory,
and as that blow connected with tlie
chin of Floyd Brltt the s;ore In the
current family wrestling feud became
Brltt 2. Jones J. It was the first
victory for the Jones family over tne
house of Brltt In the two weeks they
have been acu fling hereabouts. But.
so decisive was It that it more than
made up for Alvln Brltt's win over
Tuffy Jones in last night's middle
bout, and Floyd Brltt's conquest of
Mike Jones last Monday evening.
The main go last nlht, the Tony
versus Floyd grudge squabble, lasted
Just a few seconds over one minute.
So sudden was the ending that the
huge crowd (500 couldn't obtain
seats) was unable to realize what
had happened for several minutes.
When It finally did, however, it
sounded like the armory was being
torn apart a stick at a time.
It was Floyd Brltt's own fault that
he was knocked colder than a frozen
herring. He exploded the Reg of
dynamite when he tore into Tony
long before the opening bell sounded,
when he and Tony were listening to
Referee Eirl Yoakley's instruction!
regarding the Illegal use of the ropoa.
The three were standing near the
hemp, apparently peaceful, when
Floyd suddenly went Into action.
He grabbed Tony around the heod
and began gouging eyes. The official
attempted to pull Floyd off the sur
prised Tony, but gave up the Job
after a few seconds of futile effort.
Floyd manhandled Tony for a spell.
pouring on a vicious Btrangle hoM
and massaging the elder Jones' glim
mers. Tho Brltt meanie had tlie
advantage for only a few seconds,
however, for Tony soon grabbed Brltt
by the head and hoisted him clear
across the ring.
Tony slammed Brltt to the carpet
three times, then unleashed his
knockout punch as Floyd, st'll not
realizing the folly of getting within
shouting distance of the power.'ul
Tony, came In close. Tony started
his clout from right field, after wind
ing up In the bull pen. It was a
huge uppercut that curved skyward
toward Brltt's chin and crashed
against It with devastating force.
Br.tt sagged at the knees and dropped
dead, cold to the world. Bleed' ng
from tho mouth, he lay on the can
vas for several minutes before he w.y
carried to the dressing room.
The first Brltt versus Jones fight
of tlie evening, Alvln against Tuffy,
ended In a two out of three fall win
for the big, mean Br.tt. At east a
dozen times during the match Ref
eree Ycaklcy tried to award the
match to Tuffy on fouls, but the
latter refused. Brltt has never been
so mean as he was In this match.
Tuffy employed his back-crunchiaj
bear hug to win the first fall In the
opening canto. In the third round,
after breaking Tuffy's arms and neck
over the ropes and slugging him with
doubled fists, Alvln applied a surf
board to even the score. Tho match
ended In the fourth heat, and a.?alu
It was a scries of armbreakers ovar
the ropes which forced Tuffy to
give up.
Little Brother Mike Jones defeated
Spider Kelly of Oakland. Cal., in the
opening event, two falls to one. in
a sparkling exhibition of clean and
legitimate grappling. Mike grabbed
the first fall In the second round
with eon nen bergs, a dropklck and a
body press. Kelly took the next tum
ble with a rolling leg-split, and Mike
came back to win In the fifth round
with some more dropklcks and a
body press.
From beginning to end, the pro
gram was undoubtedly the best scrn
here In six months.
