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.
