Nothing definite came of the long scssion, except that any announcement would ‘come from Clark. Both Chark and Carey - were extremcly reticent sbout what went on and Jacobs, exer- cising the verbal prerogatives of a man- ager, was the only confsree to do much talking. ' _ From Jacobs’ conversation and ths| fact that the revival of discussion of | the bout was held in Chirago. it was | indicated that Scldier Field will be the | si's of the battle, and ths date prob- | ablv June 19. ‘While things that will happen were | nct freely discussed, something that | is not likely to occur<a championship | fight involving Schmeling and Mickey | ‘Walker, mmdlewelght title holder—was mentioned by Jacobs.

Clinnin, chairman of the Tllinois State Athletic Commission and | president of the National Boxing Asso- | ciation, and that &s long as the N. B, A. | considered Stribling the foremost con- | tender, he would not consider a bout| with Walker. Indication that the Illinois Legisla- ture will pass a bill legalizing 15-round | championship bouts had not only ened Chicago’s bid for the title tht, but caused Jacobs to come up ith ‘the first prediction of the outcome.

Shows Class in His First Major Bout—Spectator at Ringside Dies. By the Associated Press EW YORK, March 31.- | ful new figure had cro the ranks of the heavyweight parade today—Stanley Poreda, | D a straight-shooting youngster from Jer- | sey city. | ‘Meeting his first major opponent after a long string of victories over lesser |lights of the division, the big, black- haired Pole established himself as a comer last night by pounding out a clean-cut win over old Johnny Risko, the Cleveland rubber man, in Madison Square Garden. Risko rallied in the | closing rounds, but could not overcome the long lead piled up by his young opponent in the early stages. | The excitement attending Poreda's surprising victory was too much for one of the 8200 spectators. Rudy | Hasse,. 50, who attended the bout as| Poreda’s guest, died a few minutes after | the verdict was announced, supposedly | of heart failure. Referee for Risko. Although the Associated Press score | | sheet_credited Poreda with six rounds ‘J\nd Risko with only two, the decison |of the three officials was not unani- | mous. The two judges named Poreda, | but Referee Kid McPartland picked | the veteran Risko. | " After stopping 'Risko's initial rush | with a hard right to the chin that set | the Cleveland battler back on his heels, | Poreda continued to swarm over the | | baker boy for the first five rounds. He jarred the veleran repeatedly with a | long left and crossed wicked rights to |the head and body. Risko had much | | cifficulty connecting with a looping right, his principal weapon. | 'When the youngster slowed up in the | sixth, Johnny charged him all over the |ring,” taking plenty of punches, but landing a few on his own hook. The result was that he earned a draw in the |sixth and tenth and had an edge in | the seventh and ninth. There were no knockdowns. | Poreda entered the ring at 198); pounds; Risko, 194.

After 10 Years in the Tire Business at the Same Location We Are N SHARKEY-CARNERA BOUT HELD LIKELY Announcement of Scrap Is Expected Soon as Primo Is Reinstated. By the Associated Press. EW YOFK, March 31.—A rather general whisper has it that Jimmy Johnston is all set to promote a heavy- weight duel between Primo Car- nera and Jack Sharkey at Ebbets’ Field, in Brooklyn, this June, and that formal announcement awaits only the reinstatement of Primo to good standing in this State. On the face of it, the match looks like a “natural,” but none of the parties concerned can be induced to admit that any negotiations have been started. Carnera has been on the barred list of the New York State Athletic Com- | mission for a year —ever since his match with Leon Chevalier out on the West coast. The fistic fathers may de- % | cide at their meeting today that Primo | has been punished enough. Carnera's reinstatement, those sup- posed to be in the know say, depends upon his agreeing to box for Johnston and with charity as the chief bene- ficlary. ~Sharkey, according to Johns- ton, ‘already has agreed verbally to three matches this Summer. A Sharkey-Carnera bout might be re- garded in the light of a semi-final round match, rivaling the battle be- | tween Max Schmeling and Young Strib- | ling to be held in June. Then the survivors_might clash and produce a | fighter who could gain unqualified rec- a | cgnition as heavyweight champion. Announcement of a definite site and | date for the Schmeling-Stribling match | is expected from Chicago within the | next few days. . Lake Quinsigamond, at - Worcester, Mass., likely will be picked for the 1932 Olympic games rowing trials. | | Wood’s charges.
