so DAILY' NEWS, TUESDAY, MARCH 29, 1927 CLAIM 2,000 AC 2 He Does It! Promoting Peace, Etc, -By PAUL GALLICO- 10,000 Milling Fans Failed To Reach Entrances By JACK FARRELL. The battle of the Golden Gloves! The greatest ever fought in the history of amateur pugilistics! Really and truly an epic. This colorful event, fostered by the Daily News A. A. jammed the New Garden last night as it has never been jammed before.

Twenty-two thousand fans jammed every nook and corner of Tex Rickard's commodious temple of swat. An exaggerated estimate? Not a bit. The place has a seating capacity of 20,000. Every seat was filled, at 7:30 a half-hour before the youthful gladiators set out to stake their claims for the 14-karat mittens. Standing room was at a premium.

Aisles were crowded. While, and I admit it to my shame, I am still a stranger to the game of soccer football, I have made up my mind to acquaint myself with it at the first possible opportunity. Any contest which seem3 to stir up so many international complications as soccer is worth looking into. The only excuse that I can offer for having passed up the sport to date is that the athletes always hold their contests on my day off. Also, somehow or other, soccer seems to be tied up, in my mind, with bad weather.

It seems that I am always seeing pictures or reading accounts of the hardy athletes pulling off their games in a blizzard or a hailstorm or a cloudburst. i I Weather which is absolutely out of the question for a baseball game or a track meet and which causes even football crowds to stay at home is just an ideal day for the soccer players. If it isn't cold, nasty, disagreeable and slippery it doesn't seem to count. Your veteran soccer player on waking up on the morning of an important contest and cocking his eye heavenward is mightily put out if the ether is blue and cloudless and birds sing on the trees. Soccer is apparently a rough sport meant to be played on a rough day.

But that wasn't the half of it. Fans who negclected to make early reservations found it impossible to get within a block of the arena as early as 8 o'clock. Police estimate that fully 10,000 disappointed customers were turned away from the 40th St. and 50th st. entrances.

Main arteries of traffic were blocked by hundreds of autos, bearing fursighted customers with the Johnny Burns' right hand puncher from the Hud-, son Boosters, lays a sleep producer on Joe Click of Brooklyn no relation to the Williamsburg Clicks of professional fame in 55 seconds of the first round and boosts himself into the final bout of the 113 sub novice division. Here's another newly crowned champion: Johnny Burns, K. of C. Center, Astoria, licks A. Angelo, Creek-American A.

after three spirited rounds and the Irishmen in the upper eaves go into a paroxysm of joy when the glad news i3 announced. A tough looking Irishman, Jerry Barry, Holy Name club, steps in with A. McLaurin, a colored gent from Englewood, for the final of the heavyweight open class. Barry gets the duke after three hectic, free swinging sessions. But the colored gent is game and fires a menacing right hand right up to the final bell.

175-pound open between Albon Cook, Port Chester, and Joseph Oliver, but Cook saved himself for a last round spurt and got the decision. What ho! Two gamecocks have just been turned loose. Terry Roth of Seward gym and C. Raymond of Trinity club. The greatest fight, of the night! Terry knows a little more about what boxing gloves were meant for than Raymond, and he gets the decision after three rounds of nip and tuck battling.

Both lads fall cut of the ring in the second rourtd. They come up fighting and never stop until the final bell. The crowd gives those little boys a great big hand as they step down from the pit. And well they deserve it. A Knockout.

Here comes Mike Collins, the knockerout from the Holy Name club, with four notches in his gun. He runs true to form by knocking John Johnson, Court House A. However, quite the most interesting feature of the game seems to be the minor wars that spring up in its wake. When America played France at the last Olympic games abroad there was almost a mobilization, and only last Sunday afternoon in the ordinarily peaceful bailiwick of Newark, N. the marines would have been sent for if they hadn't had a previous date in China, when the game between the visiting Uruguayans and Newark ended in a riot.

There seems to be something in the spectacle of a lot of men running about kicking a ball and each others that inflames the onlookers with a passion to be up and about doing the same. The only other sport I know which causes the spectators to come to blows is boxing, although college basketball is frequently good for-a free-for-all. -f j. Ml Extra Round. The place is in uproar as Nick Collenstein, Boys' club, and Nick Bisagni, a belligerent citizen from Corona, start battling for the supremacy of the 126 pound sub-novice.

It's a whirlwind fight. The judges and the referee cannot agree at the end of three sessions and an extra round is ordered, much to the delight of the throng. Collenstein makes a mug of Bisagni in the extra heat and gets the decision. There are some thrilling exchanges in the semi-final of the While it is wrong to generalize from specific instances, as far as my recollections carry me back, the Latin countries seem to have more difficulty than the others taking their sports calmly. Mind you, I have seen many a country ball game in which players and fans were 100 per cent.

Nordics break up into one of these grab-the-nearest-bat-and-sock festivals when county rivalry became a little too keenly pitched, but for real international hatred and bad feeling there is nothing like a good football, or running, or other kind of contest between America and some Latin country. The spectators in Newark were American and South American, as opposite as the two poles. When the players came to blows, the spark set off the volatile audience as well.

The Newark man missed a golden opportunity.

He should have scored his kick and let them march. With all due respect to our guests, if they cannot accept a penalty whether they think they deserve it or not and insist on picking up their marbles and going home, I think that the courteous thing to do is to help them gather up their toys and speed them on their way. Instead, the Newark man deliberately kicked the ball wide and made a bum out of the referee. Joe hpatola. K.

Referee Casper Kirschner. I have never been one to wax very enthusiastic anent the benefits to be derived from these international contests. Outside of the large sums of money they invariably bring to the coffers of the promoters they are not very useful in promoting international amity and understanding. It all reverts- to the truth that when yon defeat some one right out loud before anywhere from ten to a hundred thousand people, the victim isn't going to love you and sing your praises. He or they ought to, according to the book and the legend of being a Good Loser and Taking Your Defeat Like a Man, only it never seems to work out that way.

If yoa don't believe it, talk to some of the Olympic athletes. Or, if you would rather go closer to home, talk to Princeton and Harvard, two universities that used to meet one another for the game's sake on the field of sport, at football, baseball, etc They now no longer tip their hats when they meet. If two such thoroughly American institutions cannot play games without sticking out their tongues at one another, what chance have the more inflammable peoples?
