The bid of Gabriel t Flash! El orde to rest the crown from the i rugged champioT, failed last week | when Saddler scored a 13-round technical knockout over his youn ger opponent. But Saddler's prestige may have suffered as a result of the fight. The largely partisan audience booed Saddler fre quently for what It considered iHegal infighting:. In the clin ches Saddler at times would get his right hand tree and whip it to the body, and on one occasion appeared to have hit on the break. However, the referee did not penalize him for it, Elorde, a southpaw fighting out of the Philippines, save Saddler considerable trouble in the early rounds. But in the eighth, Sandy opened a cut over Gabriel’s eye which bled freely. Sandy pressed the attack after that, and Elorde appeared to be running out of gas as the 13th got underway. The fight was stopped at 59 seconds of the 13th, after a con sultation between Referee Ray Flores and Dr Robert Louden, the official ring physician. * Sbcllie MrMHlon, Bradley’s j forward, center of controversy when the Peoria school play ed in New Orleans during the Christmas holidays, is lost for the. season.
