NEW YORK It took Paddy DeMarco nine years of fighting to learn self-control, but when he did) it brought him the world light- weight championship, Paddy, a cocky, flat-nosed little guy from the tough Navy Yard section of Brooklyn, supposedly on the downgrade as a boxer, won the title last night by decisively outpointing Jimmy Carter in 15 rugged rounds at Madison Square Garden, : It was an astounding upset in| the eyes of the slim crowd of 5,730, which rooted DeMarco in, but Paddy had a simple and logical explanation for it. “It was my smartest fight,” he| said. “I held control, did what I was told, boxed and jabbed him.” Carter, usually the calm, confi- dent fighter, apparently didn’t know what to make of all this. He was counting on DeMarco to fight in his usual style—bull-like rushes and wild swinging that left him open to hard counter-punch- ing. Paddy just didn’t. The upshot was that Carter, the slow-starter, never could catch up and DeMarco just breezed in to win the unanimous decision of ref- eree Ruby Goldstein and the two! judges. Goldstein’s card, the closest, gave it to DeMarco 7-5, with three rounds even. Judge Harold Barnes scored nine rounds for DeMarco and six for Carter while Judge) Arthur Aidala made it 9-6-1 in fa-| vor of Paddy. The Associated| Press scorecard had it 104-1 for DeMarco. The victory didn’t bring any| great financial reward for De- Marco, who at 26 has been fight-' ing professionally for nine years, But it did bring a lot of satisfac- tion, Oddly, it was DeMarco who was supposed to get the title shot when Carter won it from Ike Williams) three years ago. But he was taken sick and Carter got the chance to/ win in an upset as surprising as| last _night’s. | When DeMarco finally got his| chance, the experts made Carter, a 4-1 favorite and were picking him to win by a knockout, just as he had in three title defenses last year. DeMarco, with his. handlers re. Peatedly warning him not to get excited and to fight as he had planned, took charge almost from the start. He made Carter fight the way he wanted, piled up an early lead and when Carter tried desperately for a knockout in the closing rounds, Paddy did a cool, | sees job of outmaneuvering im, Club Raided “BALTIMORE W — When police raided the Eton Social Club they | found a dice game in one Toom, | a slot machine in another and two nude women in a third room. Police testified at a hearing yes-| terday that as angry wife’s tip led to the raid. The wife told police she didn’t like her husband visit- ing the place. After the hearing, five men and two women were held for grand fury action. ” Grade 4 Key West Kennel Club Results FIRST RACE ; i Pam i indle B., May, 1952. High Cotton—Queen Roya!
