Beau Jack Risks No K O Record Against Bummy Davis at Garden
Abraham Davis and Sidney Walker book a St Patrick's Day ten rounder at Madison Square Garden drawing about 17 000 fans and a 100 000 gate. Beau Jack and Bummy Davis bring the Garden’s two top lightweight drawing cards as Davis seeks a kayo and Jack aims to outbox the Brooklyner. Davis, famed for a lethal left, has KO power to challenge the undefeated Jack who has never been knocked out. Davis weighs around 135 pounds to Jack’s 137 as the bout nears, with doubt about the Friday the 13th jinx arousing.

17 Year Old Boxers Barred From Pro Ring In Senate Vote
Seventeen year old boxers and wrestlers were denied permission to appear professionally after a Senate debate on lowering the age limit from 18 to 17. The measure, limiting 17-year-olds to four two minute rounds, was voted down 106 to 38 with eight Republicans and two Democrats in favor. Democratic Senator Elmer F Quinn of New York City attacked the bill as promotions peddling flesh and said it would attract talent to Madison Square Garden. Senator Richard A Dicostanzo said it originated with the State Boxing Commission and Department of State, while Senator Francis J Mahoney warned of unsafe matchups for youths and said the bill helps promoters. Nat Rogers of Mike Jacobs’ 20th Century Sporting Club said he only learned of the bill from the papers. Jacobs was not in the city.
