ripen t. Owis GOLDEN. GLoves is UNDERWAY The Flint amateur fight scene is under full swing with the op-| @ ening of the 1959 Golden Gloves last Tuesday. at the IMA Audi-| = torium, the largest entry since g the 1940~s will participate in- this | 2 really enjoyed fights between Paul Pierce of Berston and Church Burnham of Civic Park. Burnham chopped a split deci sion over Pierce in a blood free-: their arms at the final bell. During the course of the fights many comical comments, events were made by fighters, trainers and{ fans. In the previous mentioned bout, Pierce, with a blood spattered face, Cavett, ~I~m not /hurt, just tired.~ Another outstanding bout and perhaps the most outstanding of the night was in the Novice Fly* weight class between Bill Shefsky, Grand. Blanc and Jimmy Williams of Martin School. Both boys hammered away at each other continuously With Williams going down twice in the first round for an 8 count. Shefsky was the unanimous winner in this bout. In all, there were 25 bouts that consisted of 6 split decisions and 8 T,K.O.~s and the rest came by unanimous decisions. The outstanding boy of the night, in my opinion, was Andy Byrd of Martin School, a youthful ~looking Flyweight, who looked very impressive in his bout with Sam Fluerney of Elm Park with Byrd getting the decision. In the 13th bout bibween Curtis Jones of Berston and Sam Tornes of Martin, Jones told: his trainer ~I get tire of chasing that guy,~ after being told several times to catch up with his opponent. In the following bout, trainer Dick Dibbler of the Lapeer Club told his charge, Walt Snowden, ~He~s not hurting you.~ One of the fans sitting nearby remarked ~you had better keep an eye on that ref because somebody just gave your boy a bloody nose.~ In the bout between James Miller of Martin.and Joe Yarborough of Berston, the boy that assisted the trainers by taking the stool out of the ring gave every -6ne a laugh when _ he pulled Yarborough~s ~ stool to Tigers Sign Two ~Two Allen Park, Mich., boys, a southpaw pitcher and a-left-handed hitting catcher, have signed contracts with clubs in the Detroit Tiger minor league system, Ed Katlinas, director of scouts, announced today. The hurler is James, Richard Fekete, 18, who stands 6 feet, 2 inches and weighs 165. Fekete, signed to a Birmingham (Class AA) contract, starred in high school and American~ Legion ball for four years and rounded out his sandlot career by posting a 4-2 record in the Detroit Amateur Federation last Summer. OL TIMER Zz 2 ~Worry is like a rocking ehair~gives you something to de, but doesn~t get you anywhere.~ ) i told manager Dee}. quickly, thus sending the gloved gladiator sprawling to the canvas. This marked the _ second time in the night that the Berston fighter got the seat of his pants dusted, as he was down for an 8 count in the previous round. Miller won the vote of all ring officials in this Sub Novice Welterweight battle. Today, because of the large amount of entries there will be two programs, an early matinee from 2 to 6 and a later show at 8 p.m. tonight. Be sure to see all the bouts you can because this is one of the most entertaining sports events of the year.
