PAGE SIX One Round Kayo Starts National Amateur Boxing Tournament 16 KNOCKOUTS [Roland Ma FEATURE FIRST NIGHT OF MEET Tommy Lown of New York Well on Way to Fourth Na- tional Title NAVY BOXER LOOKS GOOD Only 56 of 135 Preliminary Bouts Run Off—Extra Day Is Added Boston, April 24.—(AP)—Tommy Lown of New York, ore of the greatest amateur boxers in this country, today was well on his way to his fourth national title. He started out in an auspicious manner in the A. A. U. championship tour- nament last night by scoring a one- round knockout in his trial bout in the 147-pound class. Lightweight champion in 1925 and 1926 and 147-pound titlist last year, he is the only champion who re- turned here this year to defend his title. The other 1927 champion in the tournament, George Hoffman of New York, who won the 175-pound crown last year, has grown out of the division and he fought with the heavyweights last night. Lown started his march to his fourth title by knocking out Frank Miller of Buffalo. Throws in Towel Hoffman also made an impressive start by tae the handlers of Walter Layer, Pennsylvania | mili- tary academy student, to toss in the towel before the start on the third round, The boxing afternoon at 4 o'clock rnd at 3 a. m. this morning, after but 56 of the 135 preliminary bouts had been run off, the committee in charge decided to add a third night to the tournament. a about 50 more preliminaries will be run off and the semifinal and final rounds will be on Wednesday night. nen knockouts were regis- tered during the first night, in each of the eight classes, which range from the 112 pounders to the heavy- weights. Courage Is Shown Charles McDonnell of San Fran- cisco,. welterweight, survived his bout with Eddie Burke of Chicago by an amazing display of courage. Nickey Adams of St. Louis, floored in the first. xound by Bud Hammer of Gary, Ind., staggered to his feet and got the decision. _ The best prospect in the 160- pounds division appeared to be En- sign Harry H. Henderson of the Naval academy, who was the inter- collegiate middleweight champion during his plebe days. He defeated John Begley of San Francisco, who was a head taller and had a much longer reach. : Another exceptional contest was the battle waged by Ensign John A. Charlaon, of the Navy team, and Robert B, Beattie of West Point. Charlson sank the cadet with a right cross to the jaw in the first round of the 135-pound class. HAVE TEAMS ENTERED By WILLIAM R.

But England has another ace in J. W. J. Rinkel, the Cambridge crack, eager to carry on where Rudd and Liddell left off. Twenty years ago the 400-meter final provoked one of the biggest elbowing controversies of all time. In fact chiefly as a consequence of this race British and American ath- letic ties virtually were severed and a feeling of unfriendliness aroused that existed for years afterward. It all happened because J. C. Car- penter, Jr., of Cornell was dis- qualified after finishing first, Brit- ish officials charging he “bored” or peneet and elbowed Lieut.
