He was a victim of pneumonia, which developed from a fractured jaw sustained in a bout with Marty Gornick of McKeesport January 30 at the Moose Temple. Who's To Blame? The bout in which Cranshaw re ceived the fatal injury should have been stopped after second round, dur ing which one of Gorrtck's terrific blows fractured Bobby's jaw.
