ek O'DOWD WINS CLOSE DECISION OVER JEFF SMITH AT GARDE - By Thornton Fisher JUDGES DISAGREE AT END AND REFEREE DECIDES ON ~EXCHAMPION AS WINNE ———-+-——_—_—— . Draw Would Have Been Better Verdict and Not Unfair to Either Man—-O’Dowd the Plunging Aggressor, but Jersey Man’s Finer Punches Were More Effective Throughout 15 Lively . Rounds. ep ty By Vincent Treanor. N® judge said “Draw” at the end of the Mike O’Dowd-Jeff Smith fit- teen-rotind bout at Madison Square Garden last night. The other decided that O'Dowd was the winner. It was then up to the ref- eree, John Haukop. He said O'Dowd. There was no deafening applause © following the announcement of Joe Humphries. O'Dowd walked across the ring to Smith’s corner to shake his hand. There was nothing of the hop, skip and a jump that usually goes with a winner in Mike’s action, He looked like a man who was tak- ing something which he hadn't earned cleanly, Smith, shocked for a minute Dy - or 60 by the verdict, was plainly dis- appointed. He finally got {nto his bathrobe and walked slowly across the ring and out to his dressing room. Smith thought he had won the fight, and,so did hundreds of others aside from the O'Dowd rooters, who: wero in the majority. At the worst,| make. O'Dowd registered 166 and Smith'should have been given a draw.| smith 156%. This decision would have hurt neither and still would not have been unfair to O'Dowd.
