PAGE SIX THE PORTSMOUTH HERALD. TUESDAY. APRIL 4, 1933, WHO'S HIDING IN THE BRUSH? htes Of Local Interest They say that the bigger they are the harder they fall, but nobody could have fallen much harder than K. O. Langford of this 'city last night in' the Arena A.

ring after Tiger Tom Dixon of Dover connected with the local boy's jaw, Earlier in the fight Dixon had protested against Langford's mouthpiece and when the local boy refused to take it out Dixon proceeded to knock it out, which he" did in the third round, The first round was all for Langford, who went in fast, popped Dixon and came out again. Had he con- ttuied this mode of lighting he woif.d have won easily, for he spilled the upriver boy in the first round. Dixon came back strong and had "Smooth" on the floor at the bell for the end of the second chapter, Tiie third chapter ended rather quickly, with Tixon catching La.ngforo'. in a corner and uncorking a terrific right to the jaw which sent the local boy down with a crash. Dixon, while slow moving, still has plenty of arm power.

The first round was just a mauling match with no one doing any real boxing, in the early stages of the second round an alleged low blow was landed and Chester went to his knees, later protested, started to square off to con- tlmie and then collapsed.

During those two rounds the Makie boy caught Hermes as he came in, sidestepping him and bringing up a left or right to'the face.

There, waa plenty the last round when Hermes opened of action throughout, particularly in up. Jackie Collins of Haverhill had everything his own way with Kid O'Brien of Kittery in an extra bout. Collins -was a perfect fighting machine throughout the four 'rounds and O'Brien showed himself to be a nice worker and able to stand up and swap with him. At though, O'Brian was given a good boxing lesson, Collins didn't seem to force himself at all and kept on top during the whole fight to win the decision. Dick Hudson, showing plenty of grit and determination, managed to last through a gruelling round, number two, in his fight with Young Riso.

of Dover, and came back strong enough to win the decison. Hudson had taken the first round easily, but wore himself out and took quite a beating in the second, going down twice. The third round was about even, with both boys 'nearly to drop. Risko did almost no leading in the last.round a.nd covered up whenever Hudson made an advance. Sam Langford of Richmond floored Mickey McGraw of Haverhill in the second rojnd 'of their battle, the opener.

McGraw had a nice left, but was hit once when he was on his 'kuces and this took- any fight he had in him out. SCTION APLENTY WHEN PHILLIES If is a soma colorful baseball la In prospect this season.

It is understood that there is considerable activity at the track at 'jri-anite State Park in Dover.
