Matches with New York
By FRANK MARSHALL DAVIS
for The Associated Him Praia
pHHJAQO, HI.—Flailing fiiti of nine sepia sluggers brought
« u many victories to the Chicago team which kajoed the
hopes of the New York squad, 14 to 2, in the 16th annual inter-
city Golden Oloves championships before 20,782 spectators at
Chicago stadium Wednesday night.
The inter-city matches are composed of 16 bouts, two in

one of aeveral Impressive an<l out-
standing fighters Invited to com-
pete for the honor. To win an
intercity championship Is one of
amateur boxing's highest goals.
several champions on both teams
were unablo to compete because of
military activities or war Jobs. That
accounts partially for nine Negroes
fighting among Chicago's 18 gladi-
ators, plus four Aframerlcans and
three Puerto Rlcans of various
shades tossing leather for New
York. The Golden Oloves tourna-
ments In Chicago are sponsored by
the Tribune, and In New York by
the Dally News, both newspapers
owned by the same syndicate.
Results Involving Negroes:
George Adams, Chicago, decl-
sloned James Caraway, white, New
York, 112-pound alternates.

Two of the evening's most sen-
sational boats were In the light
heavyweight class. Bronsteln, nor-
mally a middleweight who was
eliminated In last month's tourna-
ment by Powell, fought In the high-
er bracket and was almost kayoed
In the first round by Rochester.
But the white boy, a rushing, ter-
rific bitter, came hack after being
dropped to send his dusky foe to
the rosin twice in the second and
once again in the third befon the
knockout.
Evans, who had already distin-
guished himself with his devasta-
ting punching power, took just 57
seconds to send his opponent to
dreamland. As the hell sounded,
EvanB circled his opponent and
then waded Into him. A tight to
the head sent LaRrocque, an army
corporat, to the floor. He got up
at three and again Evans caught
him with a right, the white boy
going down for tbe full count.
Also Impressive were Hunter, a
smooth boxer who was up against

Bombers
Lose
Opener
Showing signs of a lack of prac-
tice, the Kelly Field Brown Bomb-
ers fell easy prey to better condi-
tioned Kelly War Workers, the
Workers blasting out a 13-5 vic-
tory In the season's opener at Tccli
field Sunday, April 4.
The Bombers paraded five pitch-
ers to the mound in nn effort to
stem the heavy slugging of the
War Workers, but Captain Blevins,
who pitched the last three Innings
was the only one who proved ef-
fective. Blevins struck out five
In his thrce-innlng tenure and
gave up only one hit.
Middleton, who started for the
Bombers, was wild as a March
hare, walking two and giving up
four hits and the same number of
runs before he was relieved by L.
Johnson.
Johnson did fair for an Inning,
but the Workers began working
on him, and he was relieved by
"I-efty" Calnndcr. But the same
thing began happening to him and
in came Albert Johnson.
Johnson stood It for two Innings,
but when the Workers stnrted solv-
ing bis stuff, Blevins came In to
stem the tide,
The War Workers pounded out
a total of 17 hits and committed
two mlscues. Tbe Bombers hit
safely 10 times and erred three
times. BlevA's two triples and
James' double were the most dam-
aging blows garnered by tbe
Bombers.
