— ++ —__——. ROSENBERG NOW CHAMPION ACCORDING 10 STATE BOARD Dave Has Phil Krug on Verge of Knockout in Bout for Title New York Commission Declared Vacated—Kid Wolfe Turns Tables on Frankie Jerome. By Ed Van Every. AVE ROSENBERG ts now the world’s middleweight champion K of the State of New York. At Yeast he defeated Phil Krug at the New York Velodrome last night for the title deciarea vacated by the New York Boxing Commission and, while the championship that still clings to Johnny Wilson may cover more terri- tory, the Brooklyn boxer, from what he dispiayed last night, Is not as poor @ champion as the aforementioned Wilson. This may sound like a doubt ful compliment for Rosenberg, so we hasten to apologize. We think Rosen berg a much better fighting man than he generally tmpressed last evening. Shades of Stanley Ketchell! This story will have little to say about the fight, but will deal more with the fighter. The fight was un. Interesting und the fighter is quite possibly the successor to the rest of Johnny Wilson's crown. This Hebrew boy from the Browns- ville section of Brooklyn may not look _ lke much of # fighter in the ring, but he does look like a mighty tough per- son to bow to any man's beating He has a face composed of pro- nounced features and apparently hewn from some impregnable sub- stance like granite or bone; punches make no impression upon either the face or its expression. His body ts chest, bone and « mass of musclex that ts apparently Impervious to the weight and sting of the heaviest blows. He is a most durable purty is Mr. Rosenberg. As to the art of hit, stop and get away, this means nothing to him; his ring repertoire consists of get hit and keep coming. Apparently he la muscle-bound, and this physical con- dition possibly extends above the shoulders; anyway, he lacks the men- tal agility that permits his tal.ing ad vantuge of his openings. He lacks that fine balance of the body neces- sary to the slipping or side-stepping of punches and the getting of snap into his blows; In other words, he ts not shifty. Blows to his head or his body are merely part of his defense. He blocks every and any thing with his face or any other part of his anat- omy. And the blows make no tinpres- sion on the durable Dave Rosenberg. they do not stop him from getting in close. And when he gets in close he clubs, rips and throws punches at his man with tireless monotony, and some of them land. They seem to lack dyna- mite, but they do’ damage, That is the only way he knows how to fight. It is not an interesting style. And his fight last night was not interesting, but It got the results. FANS PAID $20,133 TO WITNESS BOUT The State of New York added $1,006.65 to its treasury last night his amount was the tax pald the State by the promoters of the Rosen- berg-Krug fight. The gross receipts amounted to $20,183 and the net re- ceipts totalled $19,1 Phil Krug of Newark, his opponent was well beaten up tn most every round and was cut about the face, and bled from the nose and left eye. He seemed on the verge of a knock out near the end but managed to weather the storm of blows, and was fighting back at the end, Rosenberg weighed 160, and had a five-pound advantage, A far more interesting fistic enter tainment was provided in the twelve round semi-final that brought to- gether Kid Wolfe of Cleveland and Frankie Jerome of the Bronx in a re turn match. This pair of bantams fought an exciting twelve-round fray in the same ring recently, on which occasion Jerome scored a flock of knockdowns and gained the decision. Since that fight Jerome has been resting up in the country We don't know what country, but the rest has Rot been good for the Bronx boy, His Judgment of distance was very poor last night and he lacked much of the speed that stood him in good stead tn hie previous meeting with the near- sighted Cleveland boy Jerome had trouble evading Wolfe's counters and @ result he took more of a sock ing than he was able to hand out As a matter of fact Wolfe beat Jerome by almost ax wide a margin as he did Pal Moore in this ring last week Wolfe, therefore, must have been agreeably surprised last even ing when he was awarded the de sion, Wolfe weighed 121 and hag @ one-half pound advantage. Al Boyle of the east side and Danny Ross, welterweights, pounded each other about for four rounds in the opener with th pounding about even aad the decision a draw. Willie Davis of Elizabeth and Jack Stark of the Bronx, featherweights, crowded con siderable action into a six-rounde: with the honors going to the Jersey boy. Johnny Wilson was an interested epectator of the main bout for « while. He may not have overheard the remark of a spectator during the fourth round to the effect thit Rosenberg and Krug were almost as bad as Wilson, Wilson did not stay for the fifti round Dundee and Frush Ready For 15-Round Decision Bout Pancho Villa Also on To- Night’s Card at Brooklyn Ball Park.
