SPORTS. "A—14 | Rock Knocks Furr Out of Fight Plans : Louis “Kayoes” Detroit Celebration * i * L0SS COSTS PHIL DUBLINSKY BOUT D. C. Welter Champ Badly Beaten—Wilson Hands De Santos a K. 0. BY JOHN B. KELLER. APITAL fight fans today were putting Phil Furr on tae shelf with the other boys who were good when they had it and the Turner-Ahearn combine was busily engaged in revising its pro- gram for future fistic offerings as a result of the startiing and decisive de- | feat of the District wellerweight cham- pion. The gorgeous shellacking rugged Tony Rock gave Furr last night at| Griffith Stadium in the finale ot the | best fight card put o in Washington in months completely wrecked the | build-up for a match between the welter titleholder and Harry Dublin-; sky recently begin by the Turner-| Ahearn promotional interests. ‘l 1t also made unlikelv a rematch for | Furr with Bobby Wilson, the tow-| head who polished off Johnpy De Santos to get a technical knockout | in the fifth round. It was victory | in a battle with Wison last Fall| that earned Furr his District crown, but last night Phil's per{ormance! was so inferior to Bobby's that the | A couple of samples of the actionful card at the ball park last night.

Outside of a lot of pounding on the Scranton boy's back Furr did not con- nect with a dozen swings during the | fight. Taller than his opponent and having the longer reach, Phil never was able to keep Tony away. The stockily built Rock, who at 1453 weighed 1'; pounds more than Furr, repeatedly got inside Furr's feeble de- | fense, and every time Rock did he punished Furr plenty. Rock Punishes Furr.

Before the sixth round was over Furr's left eye was considerably puffed and his nose was spread all over his | face. Phil steadfastly refused to carry | the fight to Tony until the seventh, | when with a driving left he backed his foe to the ropes.

Barringer, Managing Editer “Stsel” Magazine #At the moment, only HUDSON and TERRAPLANE actually mount an all steel body. All other cars have either a soft top or use wood somewhere in their body construction . . . Woe to the maker trying to get by with a soft top in 1936.” You needn’t wait another day for the safety that experts agree all cars must sooner or later pro- vide. You get the complete pro- tection of America’s first bodies all of steel in any Hudson or Terraplane — now. Steel inner structure, steel sides, steel pil- lars, steel floor, steel roof! But this is only one of many features which date Hudson and Terraplane far ahead of their time. Police-tested brakes, which have set safety stopping records the country over! The Electric Hand (optional at small extra cost) for easier, safer driving! Proved performance— backed by 77 American Auto- mobile Association records! Proved fuel economy, long life and low upkeep costs others are still trying to match! And all-year ventilation—for cool comfort, without drafts, in summer driving. Hudson-built cars, with most that is really new in 1935, stay new in performance and appear- ance, too—any owner will tell you. Drive a Hudson or Terra- plane today.
