JIMMY MOORE IN DELAWARE HIT

Gains Another Draw in Bout With Rocky Luciano at T&C Show

Jimmy Moore, local middleweight, is becoming quite a crowd pleaser and show stealer in the weekly pro boxing bouts down at Wilmington. Paired last night with Rocky Luciano, of Harrisburg, Moore and his opponent staged a brawl which made the windup look like a pink tea. The verdict was a perfectly just draw. Thus for the second week in a row Moore had to be content with an even break but he also stole the show for the second straight week.

Moore and Luciano fought six of the hardest rounds of the summer in their semi-windup at the T. and C. Arena. They punished each other severely with vicious body attacks and speared each other continually at close range. But neither puncher could show to any great advantage and there was one vote-for each and one draw vote. There were no knockdowns in the 18 minutes of action. They maybe rematched in the near future.

The windup, which came as an anti-climax, found Dusty Brown, of York, taking a one-sided decision from Angelo Meola, of Baltimore, who had a five-pound pull in the weights at 144.
