WEDNESDAY MORNING. JULY 30. 1941 POTTSTOWN MERCURY, POTTSTGWN, PA. Phone 2263 PAGE NINE Freddie Cochrane Grabs Welterweight Mit Title YESTERDAY NEWARK, N. July 29 Fred'iie Cochrane, a rugged redhead with a left-hand that works overtime, won the world welter- weignt championship from Fritzie Zivic tonight in a rough and tumble 15-round brawl at Ruppert stadium.

Z.vic weighed 145; Cochrane 142H. I'he husky little redhead who learned his of fighting as a neighbor of Mickey Walker, took everything the highly favored Zivic had to offer and then charged back for more he bounced left honks oif face all evening and then served up an occasional right. Before 10,000 tans in this ball park of the New York International league farmhands, won the decision of Referee Joe Mangold and the hearts every fan by the way he stood clos ng rush to protect nis lead. There are no judges in Jersey and the referee has the whole say. The bout was as close as it was rough.

At the finish the Associated Press score card showed each fighter with seven rounds and one scored even. Charley Wright, promising Newark Negro heavyweight, flattened Babe Ritchie, Lubbock, Texas, in the second round of one of the feature 188 to 192, floored the Texan with a right hand early in the second, and then dropped him for the full ten with a smashing left hook at 1:08 of the same heat Mickey Adamick, 135, New York, and Gu.s Vargo, 138, Orange, N. went four rounds to a draw. There were low blows, head butts, hitting on the break, backhanding and whatever else you can think of. But it was give and take in this respect, with no holds barred find the score about even.

Cochrane was penalized with loss of one round, the fourth, for a punch south ol the legal border. Though a four to one underdog, Red marched right into the vaunted Zivic guns which had ended gallant little llenry career the past November and had cut up my Davis less than a month ago. He was the aggressor all the way. He wound up with a gash at the corner of his left eye, from a long rijfht Fritzie tossed at him In the 12th, and he was tired as a soldier after an all-day forced march at the finish. But he was still taking Sunday shots and swinging that left.

Red started off like a ball of fire and piled up a margin over the first three rounds. Zivic, making only his second defense of the 147- pound crown, looked dull and did not seem able to with his punches, despite the pleadings oi his corner which started as early as the third heat and kept right on through the remainder of the bout. Fritzie stepped up the pace through the middle rounds, but the 26-year-old red-head, who has been boxing professionally seven years, stepped right along with him The Pittsburgher with the flat nose just get out of the way of that left through the first ten rounds.
