Pocatello Boxing Club License Suspended by State
The Welser Athletic club in Pocatello had its boxing license suspended until the end of the year by action of the State Athletic Commission. Reorganization of the club will be required before a new license is issued after that date. The suspension followed failure to announce a change in the April 3 boxing card, when Chub Sumpsky was substituted for Bob Jubb in a bout with Joe Corter of Boise. Cortes won by technical knockout in the 6th round after Sumpsky was deemed a preliminary fighter. The board later overturned a prior decision in a ten round bout between Cortes and George Budd, Washington of Pocatello, giving the victory to Washington as the referee declined extra rounds and two judges had noted Washington had won after ten rounds.
