SPORT S. 1mmm NEGRO ONE OF FEW T0 REGAIN CROWN Closed Eye Forces Freeman to Sqrrender Welter Title ~ In Twelfth, BY CHARLES DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. EVELAND. April 15.—Young Jack Thompson, Oakland, Calif., Negro youth, is back on the throne today as welterweight champion of the world. Thompson regained the title he lost to Tommy Freeman six months ago by scoring a techni- cal knockout over the title holder in the twelfth round of their scheduled 15-round encounter in Cleveland's public auditorium last night. Freeman, with his left eye swollen shut, was unable to respond when the bell clanged Xflr the start of the twelfth round. to swell in the tenth and by t.he end cf the eleventh it was tightly closed. He protested that he was unable to see and surrendered u; the nh(;lmm'nh Negro on the advice of a sician. By his victory Thompson exploded | the popular belief that they never come | back. His performance in winnin, buck the title he 105t takes rank witl achievements of the late sunley and Pete Herman, who won ir championships after losing them. Ketchel knocked out Billy Papke back in 1308 in 12 rounds after Papke two months previously had stopped him in the eleventh round of their middle- weuht. engagement. Herman retrieved his_bantamweight uueh from Johnny boy ain't that som P grinned Thompson as he sat in dressing room after the fight. “I got my champlonship back. I never should have lost it, but I'm sorry I won | Doutfiss it the way I did. I would like to have Qrsat knocked him out.” For a championship fight the battle ‘was highly disappointing to a crowd of | Gelbe: 9,000 spectators who paid $46,670 to wit- ness it. It was dull and so uninteresting at times that the spectators booed, deman action. e contest lacked the thrills usually expected of a championship battle, prlndrflly because ‘Thompson fought cautiously and Free- man waged a boring-in attack th&t wn expre m?fi disa al 1 th express pproval as early as the ninth round, and kzpt yelling until the entirely unexpecmd Freeman over eartbroken loss, but expl-lned it was useless for him 1o continue as he could not see. In fair- | ness to the beaten champion, he wanted to continue, but quit on the advice of his handlers. ‘Thompson failed to reveal the flash- ing performances that enabled him to knock out Joe Dundee and batter Jimmy McLarnin to defeat. He was perhaps too cautious, because he wanted to save his damaged hand for & knoekout smash if the cpportunity had presented itself, l 200s0Rmmnond | sooucasmosuwa™ | wooormwmmmmmo 2l coconwSunmnd u £l somon ot no0ua0s0ms! 415 Totals ...

MONTREAL, April 15—For the fifth time in its long and varied history as emblem of hockey supremacy, the Stan- ley Cup has come into the possession of Les Canadiens of Montreal. ‘The flying Frenchmen, who Iast year brought the world's championship tro- phy back from the United Statcs, re- tained their title last night as they de- feated the Chicago Blackhawks, 2 to 0, in the fifth and final game of their champlonship series. The colorful Canadiens first won the cup in 1893. It m presented as an amateur mflh Lord Stanley of Preston. This was long before the Na- tional Hockey League was formed in 1916. They captured it again in 1919 and in 1924 before last year's triumph. Last night they completed one of the greatest comebacks t even such a famed team of “money players” has ever made to win the title for the fifth time. Outmanned and often outplayed all through the final series, the habitants rose to the heights of hockey. They were the battered underdogs at the start of the series and were conceded | hardly a chance of victory after Chicago | had taken the lead by winning the first game in Montreal. Yet they won last Saturday's game, to tie the series at two games each, and scored a deeisive victory in the final clash last night.
