Marine Boxers Win
Over Harvey Point
In Initial Match
Sgt Ray McKnight and
Sammy Magro Fea
ture Attraction
Marines of the local air station
won their first boxing meet of the
season by defeating a strong Harvey
Point outfit 4-3 Saturday night at
Harvey Point. The bill consisted of
eight bouts of three minutes each,
seven of which were decided by de
cisions. The feature attraction was
a bout between Sgt Ray McKnight
aid Sammy Magro once rated fifth
among the welterweights of the
country. This bout was extremely
interesting, both showing good
sportsmanship and a hard, clean
fight.
The Marines started like a whirl
wind, winning the first five fights,
only to be calmed and dropping the
last three.
G. Smith won a decision from
Potta; J. Bujold won a decision
from Dowd in a very close match; G.
Jones dropped his man twice to the
canvas in the second round, which
proved to be the only knock downs
of the meet; P. Lingo slugged his
way to win over his opponent; A.
_ Sainato dropped a very close de
cision to G. H. Horsley; C. Miller
one of the best fights of the
evening only to be defeated by
Lucky Tilton in the last round; D.
Scalese fought one of the gamest
fights only to drop the decision to a
more aggressive fighter.
