“NO DECISION” SHUCCO-HEUSER BOUT BERLIN, Oct. 9. The German Boxing Federation has declared the bout between Tony Shucco (U.S.A.) and Adolf Heuser (Germany) to be a “no-decision” contest owing to the accident which prevented Heuser from continuing, combined with the referee’s disregard of Shucco’s questionable tactics. Heuser’s condition is not dangerous.
A cablegram received from Berlin on October 8 stated: Deputising for John Henry Lewis, the world’s cruiserweight boxing champion, Shucco faced Heuser for five vigorous rounds, after which Heuser fell senseless. It is believed that his spine was broken. The crowd hooted Shucco, whom the police escorted from the ring. The fight was awarded to Heuser and Shucco was disqualified.
