HANION LOSES
IN FIRST ROUND
Some Doubt As To Whether He
Was K. O.d Bv Strib Or
Floor
4.
A--
Young Stribling won in the first
round of his scheduled 10 round bout
with Eddie Hanlon, of Atlanta, in"
the main event of a boxing exhibi
tion card sponsored by the Ameri
can Legion in the Rylander theater
last night.
Versions differ as to the events
that led up to the sudden .ending
of the bout, for it was all over with
in two minutes after the men had
shaken hands in the middle of the
ring.
Both men hall been exchanging
punches and Stribling after leading
with a hard right to the head, was
forced into a clinch by Hanlon. Ref
eree Asa Tift, of Albany, stepped
between the two men and ordered
them to break. He pushed them
apart and as he pushed Hanlon away
the latter was seen to trin over Tift’s
foot and be fell sprawling on the
floor on the opposite ifiide of the
ring, his head striking hard upon
the floor of th? stage. When he
failed to come to bis feet the ref
eree started counting and although
he hesitated at the count of four,
as if undecided to go on, he contin
ued when Stribling insisted on the
count and Hanlon was counted out
and Stribbng declared the winner.
These are the facts. Now the
Stribling adherents set up the claim
that the right to the head' dazed
Hanlon and that the latter was out
on his feet and when the referee
pushed them apart he simply col
lapsed.
i Hanlon’s friends, and that includes
! about everybody from Americus who
I was at the ringside, insist that Han
| lon was the victim of a fluke and
’ that when he tripped over the ref
i erec’s foot and bit the floor he was
I knocked out by the force of the blow
when his head come in contact with
! the floor. Stribling, it was said,
! admitted that he did not hit Hanlon
j when the latter fell. Hanlon claims
that up to the time he landed on the
i floor none of Stribling’s blows had
done him anv damage. He had tak
j en a number of them, following out
I his plan of hattie to accept all that
' Stribling could offer him with the
view to landing home one good blow
to the body which he believed wwuld
end' the fight.
The fans were disapopinted in the ,
result -of the fight and ma.ny were
of .the opinion that the fight game :
here would have been better helped j
| if the referee had given Hanlon a
i chance tn recover from the effects ‘
, of th fall that he beyond .any ones- '
tio nreceived through the careless- :
ness of the referee.
However, Stribling was strictly !
j within his rights in accepting the !
I decisioh of the "referee who counted «
i the Atlanta boy out and awarded ;
j him the fight.
The preliminary fight showed .Ba
by Stribling and Young Pringle, of 1
Macon, in a fast go that was called
a draw, although it looked* ns if
Young Stribling had eonsiderabl- of
■ an edge in this scrap.

match was so wholly mismatchfell
