PETROLLE BATILE *BIE TEST FOR KNG, Minneapolis Boxer Is Eager to Prove Last Win Over Billy No Fiuke. BY GEORGE A. BARTON. INNEAPOLIS, February 27. —Minneapolis, for the first time in many years, has a real contender for cham- pionship pugilistic henors in King ‘Tut, a squatty, aggressive, hard- punching, courageous fighter, who seems perfectly capable of knock- ing Jackie (Kid) Berg of England loose from the junior welterweight title if the Britisher only would grant him the opportunity. Since Tut knocked out Billy Petrolle of Duluth, whom he meets again in New York tonight, in 34 seconds at St. Paul recently, matchmakers of four cities—Minneapolis, New York, Chi- cago and Detroit—have made {futile efforts to obtain Berg's consent to & fight with Tut. The blond little Minneapolis battler weighed 1381 pounds at 2 p.m. the day of his fight with Petrolle, thereby proving he is & legitimate junior weiterweight, a class in which the scrappers do their- quarrel- ing at 140 pounds. And when Tut polished off Petrolle in less than a minute. he proved con- clusively that he was entitled to a match with Berg. It will be recalled that Petrolle won the decision cver ‘Tony Canzoneri in 10 rounds at Chi- cago September 11, exactly two months before Tony knocked out Al Singer in New York and ascended the lightweight \ghrone. Decision Unpopular. Petrolle followed up this achievement such_a sensational battle against Jackie Berg that the ring- worms in Madison was a draw. Ten days after his bout with Berg Petrolle sprang one of the prize upsets of a tempestuous pugilistic season by decisively whipping the highly touted .{,lmfiy McLarnin in 10 rounds in New orl One may gather from the foregoing e siapped Petzol o slep 1n M. tec: e sl to sleep sec- onds. This marked the third time ‘Tut had whipped Petrolle in five starts. dn their first fight, at St. Paul A it 1, 1927, Petrolle won on & foul in fcur rounds. They were rematched two ‘weeks later and Petrolle won the de- cision after 10 savage rounds. Promoter Mike Collins of Minneapolis brought the pair together in Mill Cit; for their third encounter October 16, 1928, Tut winning the decision after 10 rounds of vicious milling. Petrolle such a beating that the Duluth lightweight was forced to undergc an cperation, Billy being out of the ring gor eight months, Petrolle Severely Beaten. ‘The rivals were rematched at De- troit. September 11, 1929, Tut again Petrolle so badly his retirement from the ring. Petrolle came out of retirement early in 1930 and staged a sensational which saw . him defeat Canzoneri and McLarnin, along with fighting' Berg off his feet for 20 rounds. Tut’s right name is Henry Tuttle, knd he is of Irish-Bcotch-English parentage. He was born at Winnemoc, Wis, July 2, 1805. Tut is five feet five inches tall and is built like a fpower house. He is one of the strongest and most aggressive fighters I have seen in 27 years of newspaper work and refereeing. Tut remin gong and swarms all over his opponent, smothering him with pi d keeping everlastingly at it either wins by a knockout or completely exhausts his opponent, thereby enabling ‘Tut to gain the decision in the event ©f the bout going the limit. ‘Tut has made Minneapolis his home since 1924. He began his career as an amateur in the Mill City, where he turned professional in 1925, and durma the past five years he has fought in al ts of the United States, from New ork to San ), mee such topnotchers as Petrolie, Young Jack pson, Jackie Fields, Ray Miller, ‘Jimmy Goodrich, Bruce Flowers and Jishis, & Ainbespolls promoter ot ama: ., eapolis promof - teur boxing shows wished the ring | r of King Tut on the rugged B vl Tut Popular Fighter. ‘Tut is popular because he gives the! fans action. He is a small edition of the late Harry Greb, being rather un- orthodox but effective in his siyle of hting. Like Greb, he is clever in awkward manner. Tut has a bob- bing and weaving style that makes him an elusive target, and like Greb, he has mastered the snack of delivering punishing blows while apparently off balance. He seems gifted with un- limited endurance. * repuudlywn?;; stepped offers to fight Tut dur y he Rockford Sheik heid the ightweight championship. Tom An- drews of Milwaukee two years ago offered Eddie Kane, late manager of ‘Mandell, a guarantee of $40,000 to meet Tut in a 10-round fight, but Kane would have none of the Minneapolis maulér. I merely mention this to show readers the respect in which Mandell and Kane held Tut. Following his recent deeisive victory over Petrolle. Tut's managers made every effort to persuade Tom McArdle | to match him with either Berg or | McLarnin in New York, but McArdle | said both fighters refused to have any- thing to do with Tut. McArdle informed Tut's that Wew York's fans and boxing writers regarded the King's kayo of Prtrolle as a fluke and insisted upon the Minneapolis battler going to New ‘York and proving his mettle. This ex- plains why Tut will fight Petrolle at the Garden tonigh By the Associated Pres NEW YORK, February 27.—King Tut and Billy Petroile, two hard-punch- ing lightweights, renew their rivalry in Madison Square Garden tonight. Five times these warriors have clashed before, with Tut holding & slight edge over the “Fargo Express.” Petrolle won the first two encounters, then Tut capturred two decisions and evened score. Petrolle went into the fifth battle with plenty of sup- port. He had climaxed & brilliant comeback manager career. But Tut, not & bit intimi- dated by Petrolle’s sel series of triumphs, knocked out the PFargo slugger in half & minute of the first gound. Now Billy threatens to quit the ring for good if he fails to hurdle his Min- heapolis nemesis tonight. He's on the short end of the betti view of what has haj ed at the should be .

Six schools not represented in the meet last year have entered the coming affair, including Navy, Lafayette, St. John's, Johns Hopkins, Temple and Willlam and Mary. For the Ryan 1,000, which will be held for the first time this season and which it is planned to make the feature of the games in the future, Ray Conger, national mile champlon, of the Illinois A. C., Alfred Christaison of Lafayette and Lloyd Johnson of Wil- liam and Mary already are in line. En- tries also are expected from Jim Kennedy, former G. U. crack, now rep- resenting the Newark A. C, and Sam Martin, erstwhile Western High and Dartmouth luminary. ‘The race is named the Right Rev. James Ryan, rec- tor of Catholic University, who is hon- orary referee for the approaching meet. It was announced that Lafayette's one-mile relay team, which will meet Navy in the feature relay of the eve- nlng will be made up of John Ward, K. B. Creitz, Millard Libbey and Wil- liam Musser. Ward also is entered in the 880-yard handicap run and Creitz in the 440 open. Musser, in addition to running in the relay, will show in the 40 and 50 yard invitation sprint series along with John Lyons, C. U.'s leading sprinter; Capt. McKenzie of the Navy team. who has done the 100 in 9.4, and Mat Healy, & dash performer of proved worth. Sigfried, another Lafayette entry, will compete in the 880-handi- c ap. George Fisher of Temple University is among those who will appear in the 880 and the mile handicap events. Dan- fel Wilson of Hopkins will strive for honors in the 50-yard opea and the 40 and 50 yard sprint series. Schoolboy athletes of the District and nearby sections are taking a lively in- terest in the meet. Central, which did not compete in the affair last year, has entered a squad of 12 in the high and prep school class and Eastern, public high champion; Tech, Devitt, Hyatts- ville High and Swavely are among other scholastic institutions that will be rep- resented. Bill Foley, veteran and popular coach at Central, ever has been able to bring track material to the front if it is at hand. Particularly succéssful has Foley been in developing dash ma- terial. It's a sorry season for Central when it hasn't a few sprinters hangin, around who can really step. Centra has entered eight boys in the 50-yard dash in the C. U. meet. Some of them know little in sprinting, it's true, but they soon will if they ‘continue under Foley's tutelage. Anyhow, Foley’s going to give the following boys a chance to show their wares in the 50-yard dash: Grover Naylor, Frank Price, William Buckingham, Guy Crampton, _John Schorr, Harry Henning, Dudley Skinker and ~Woodworth Williams. Buckingham also has entered the 400- yard dash. Arthur Embrey will com- pete in the 880 and Robert St. John Fistic Battles By the Assoclated Press. BYRACUSE, N.

Washington's rassle colony went mathematical last night. Chief White Feather, champion razz- berry magnet of the D. and environs, has an annoying habit of taking a poke at his opponent, recetving a harder one in return, and then scurrying under the ropes and making faces at the audi- ence.
