Jackson Gets Divided BoboNewsom
Decision Over Snapp
Son Francisco Veteran Of Ring Wars Hard To Hit;
Withstands Snapp's Knockout Try In Tenth Round
Emry Jackson took split decision from Jack (Ginger) Snapp In the armory innin rvent Inst ntisht,
hU second in a row over the Merrill boy. The right went 10 rounds without a knockdown and the ring
uvvy sained In 152 previous profcsslonnl bonus kept Jackson well up in the points and prevented Snnpp,
obviously the harder puncher, from ever landing a knockout blow.
The two Judges voted the light to Jackson, while Referee Wally Moss had It a draw on his card.
Quite a clown In the ring, Jackson bobbed, weaved. rolled, grinned and beckoned for Snapp to wade
on In. He cut Snapps Hp In the first round with stinging lefts but that was the only injury. Snnpp took
the second heat when he Jarred the San Franctsco negro with a good right to the face but Jackson went
ahead on points again In the third when he had Snapp In the ropes twice and was scoring with a counter
punch after Ursal's every bluw.
Snapp went out with a savage rush (o gain an edgo In the fourth in speedy clnse-up fighting and held

Jakson battered and pushed Gin- .

the sixth, then the tables turned and
Snapp had Emery on the ropes for
a flurry of punches. The sixth was
the best round up to that time.
In the seventh Snapp was tirlnr
from the torrid pace and was htt
repeatedly by the San Francisco
boxer's left hooks and bolo rights
The story was repeated In the
eighth. Jackson wasn't hurling
Snapp but was building up plenty
of points. Jackson really aimed
for a knockout In the ninth, land
ing a solid right hand smash to
the Jaw that must have hurt
Snapp Just before the round ended.
The final lap was a thriller and
Jackson had to use all his cunning

New York Should Reinstate Rocky
.
Graziano Could Get License Back In October
By HARRY GRAYSON
NBA Sports Editor
NEW YORK. July 33 vNEAl As a
knocked out challenger, Rocky Clra
aiano was Just another fighter whose
license was revoked by the New York
boxing commission.
All Chairman Eddie Kuisiiti did In
giving Oraalano the boot was send
the only big match of the year to
Chicago, drive a lot of money nut
of New York, Including a siable
sum In taxes.
But as middleweight champion and
tha man who came back, Oraalano
makes a laugh out of the New Yolk
board.
Championed by the National Box
ing association, he Is more than wel
come In every other state.
Eagan could have a further bad
situation by licensing Graslauo In
New York.
The commissioner admits the dis
trict attorney's office has nothing on
Ora alalia
Yet hs vrrmtttrd a publicity-seek
ing assistant district attorney to nut
a lot of words In the dead end kid's
mouth.
And then set him down In New
York for failure to report a bribe
for a fight that never came o((.
Anybody with an ounce uf boxing
knowledge knows that Oratiano be
ing offered S100.000 for throwing a
light to the , run-o'-nilne Reuben
Hhnnk Is a Joke, which Is precisely
what ItiH'kaby Kueky said he thought
It was.
New York licenses for 11148 are lo
bo Issued In October. Eagait would
be wise lo give Oiasliiuu one as a
matter of course.
Oiiixlauo won't light iiuulit before
then, and fighters being what they
are the 30th Century Sporting club
and New York boxing are badly In
need of his services.
The 3011) Century Sporting club
also needs a new matchmaker. Mike
Junius' orgaiilrjillon could stand a
good housci'lcanlng.
It wouldn't surprise this observer
If Jack Hurley, w ho made the Gra-alimo-Znlc

will be rernllrd as the manager ot
