Battle Lasts Through
Twelve Rounds; Both
Lose Round en Fouls
By SID FEDER
NEW YORK, March 8 VP)
Some time, Fritzie Zivic, the
"ba-a-a-d boy" of Bash boule
vard, is going to get lucky in a
New York ring over one of those
"ooh" and "aah" body punches
and then you're going to see
some fun.
Flat-nozed Fritz happens to be
a guy who doesn't get the bene
fit of the doubt about those
things very often. So, for the
second time in a month, the
"oohs" had it on the "aahs" on
a referee's score card against
him last night, and Beau (the
jumping) Jack squeaked through
by the narrowest of margins to
win a rough-and-tumble 12
round decision over the Pitts
burgh pounder. .
But the punch was so question
able and the edge the "oohs"
had over the "aahs" about that
body blow Fritz-eroo fired in the
ninth round which caused Ref
eree George Walsh to take the
heat away from Zivic was so
close that Promoter Mike Jacobs
started to smoke up a third tea
party between the two thumpers
today.
Naturally, the $71,346 "house"
the two warriors drew into the
big Eighth avenue soupbowl
from a record 1843 crowd of 18,
813 didn't hurt the cause a bit.
Nor did the whoops and hollers
most of Gus Fan's family gave
off when they discovered "their
Fritzie" wound up on the short
end again. They were more
than slightly annoyed about this,
especially after Fritzie's fast, fin
ish, during which he all but
jerked Jack's head off with his
sharp-shooting in the 11th and
12th sessions.
The referee and one judge had
it seven rounds to five at the
finish last night, and the other
arbiter had it six-five-and-one,
identical with the Associated
Press score card.
