TOWEL THROWN IN

HEAVIES IN ACTION Neusel Beats Petersen WINNER DOMINATES BOUT 'By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright.) (Received 26, 1.20 p.m.) LONDON, June 25. At Wembley Stadium 50,000 saw Neusel repeat the performance of Petersen’s towel being thrown in at ths end of the tenth round. Neusel dominated the attack from the start despite Petersen’s clever scoring with both hands. Petersen’s left eyebrow was cut in the first round. Thereafter he needed constant atten- , tion, and his right cheek was cut in the fourth round. Neusel shook Petersen in the tenth with a powerful hook, and another left hurled Petersen to the ropes where a right put him almost out on his feet. Taking another heavy right, Petersen was about to fall on his face as tho round ended, after which Petersen threw in the towel. • Neusel was 21 pounds the heavier. For some years past it has been freely admitted that the quality of British heavyweight boxers has been poor. Just when it was thought to be al a very low ebb there came into prominence Jack Petersen, and ho was hailed as “England’s White Hope’’ for the world's heavyweight championship. Much was made of his success, but generally his opposition was actually of little account, nearly all his victories coming from “beating up old men.” The Australian, George Cook, gave him a big fright. However, in June last he was matched with Len Harvey for the British Empire heavyweight championship, and succeeded in lifting the title, which he still retains. Since then, however, he was pitted against Walter Neusal, of Germany, and the Continental heavyweight administered a big trashing, Petersen being virtually knocked out in the ninth round, the towel being skied. Many excuses were offered by Petersen and his Pa, who is his trainer, but it was generally acknowledged that tiie Englishman had made a poor showing, and ail thought of aiming for the world title was cast aside. Neusal is one of the younger heavyweights, and it is said of him that when he develops further he should be fair way to contest the world honours with Schmeling. —“Ringsider.”
