THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1947 PACE EIGHT HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON Grazicano Mew Champion Zale Groggy As Bout Ended In 6th Round CHICAGO, July 17 Wt Rocky Qraxlano, tough, tousled - haired youngster from the streets of New York who looks Just like he had sneaked out of an alley, reigned today as middleweight boxing champion of the world. The 35-year-old Orazlano. fight ing to redeem himself from the stigma of suspension In New York state, battered the 33-year-old title holder Tony Zale to pitiful help lessness In llie Chicago stadium last night. Orazlano, himself previously on a verge of a knockout, was declared the winner on a technical knockout 2 minutes 10 seconds after the start of the sixth round. The finish cam at almost the exact stage that Zal had come from behind to knock oul Oratlano In their first engagement In New York last September 27. The a v a g e 1 y-fought battle, scheduled for IS rounds, was wit nessed by a sweltering, howling crowd of 18.547 which established an all-time Indoor gate by paying $422,918. Zale, champion since 1SM, came to the end of his trail with tragic . suddenness. Dp to the end of the fifth round, two judges and Ref eree Johnny Behr had voted him leading on points by a safe mar gin for carrying the attack to the challenger. Zale had gashed a cut over Graxiano'i left eye. His right ye was rapidly closing and his nose was bleeding and cut. In the third round Zale, who weighed 1j to 155 for the chal lenger, had all but finished Grail -ano. Bleeding Rocky was badly hurt and staggering under Zale's punishing blows to the head and body. A short right to the chin had floored Graziano but he was up be fore the count started. In the fourth. Graziano drove a terrific right to Zale's body a dev. astatlng punch that started Zale to his finish. Zale, however, coura geously tried to carry the battle to his. opponent but the, punishing power of his blows was fading. Zale started to wilt In the fifth. His tempo slowed. He lashed but with the pride of a falling cham pion, but failed to hurt Graziano and at the end of the round he was visibly tired. Then came the dramatic sixth and 'finish. Zale stin rushed to stuck and pinned the challenger tn Tony's own corner. As Zale moved in, Gratiano countered with a blast ing right to the. jaw, thrown with all the power of his youth. Zale reeled backwards, his hand dropped to his side. Gratiano knew that Zale was hurt and he opened up In a fury of blows, connecting solidly with a left hook and a right to the chin. Zale's eyes glased and he stag gered back, groping blindly for support. - Once Zale stabbed with a left in a vain attempt to halt Graziano's charges. But Rocky swept in with another right to the jaw, and Zale, completely helpless, sagged under the top strand of the ropes. Referee . Behr pulled Rocky away. : As the timekeeper shduted "three," Behr pushed Graziano to a neutral corner and ended the light.
