CARNERA’S PURSE HELD AFTER FIGHT Near Riot Starts When Second Tosses in Towel in Sixth Oakland, Cal,, April 15 (# — An investigation of reports that the Primo Carnera-Leon Chevalier fight aked” was begun today by the California state boxing commis- sion, which withheld the giant Ital- ian's $10,000 purse. A near riot broke out in the sixth round of the ten round fight last night when one of the negro's sec- onds tossed a towel into the ring, thus conceding the contest to Car- nera on a technical knockout. The second, Bob Perry of Holly- wood, immediately became the cen- ter of a milling mob, which handled intimated also Simmons would not|him roughly and inflicted a gash| over one eye. Hundreds of Carnera’s country- men shouted their anger at the sud- den ending of the fight, crying “fake, bring Carnera back and make him fight it over again.” Ringsiders protested vigorously that Chevaller, who weighed 216 pounds, was not in distress, and some fight critics said they bélleved he was in better condition than Car- nera. Tossing of the towel by Perry was said to be illegal, as California box- ing laws permit only the chief sec- ond to halt a fight in that manner. Tim McGrath, manager and chief second of the negro, said he was so surprised at Perry’s action that he talled to protest to the referce. Carnera, weighing 276 pourNs, was after his 15th consecutive American knockout when he enter- ed the ring. oppgnent, and immediately began swinging punches. The canvas on the floor of vinz was slippery from rain, and nera fell to his knees in the first und, but jumped up immediatel Chevalier reached the giant fighter with several lusty wallops.

M. C. A. and it appeared probable that the entries in the circuit would be in- creased to elght before the league was closed up. It was tentatively planned to start the season on Mon- day, May 12, and play twilight ball on Mondays and Fridays for two rounds, closing in August. Another meeting will be held at the “¥” on Monday evening, April 28, at which time the membership of the loop will: be definitely made up, a sched- ule prepared, and other plans com- pleted. The St. Matthew’'s Cerman Luth- erans, champions for the past two years, will again be represented this summer, as will the First Lutheran, South Congregational and Trinity Methodist churches, all of which were in the circuit last season. The Stanley Memorial church, another old member, is almost certain to have a team in the fleld, while the St. Mark’'s Episcopal church an- nounced last night that it would be represented on the diamond for the first time this year. The First Baptist church, which withdrew last season, is expected to re-enter the fold. No statement of intention has been received from the Swedish Bethany church, which completed the six-team league last summer. Other churches which are being approached include the Center Congregational, St. John's German Evangelical Lutheran, and Kensing- ton Congregational. President K. E. Parker and A. E. Morton were appointed a committee to secure equipment for the coming season. The league will be financed by having each team pay an entry fee. PROBABLE BATTERIES By the United Press.
