  • Rawson-Markey Bout Is Draw; Tame Fight - Big Boy Rawson of Boston, Massachusetts, and Clyde Markey of Burlington spoiled an otherwise successful return of the glove industry to the Memorial Auditorium last evening by drifting through a slow ten-round bout. The large crowd that originally witnessed the proceedings had disappeared at the time of Billy Ford's draw verdict. Rawson, apparently out of condition, failed to exploit his reputation while Markey, overawed by his opponent, put up a poor exhibition. Neither pugilist displayed any of the bruising tactics so evident in the preliminaries or any willingness to match punches. The saving grace of the situation occurred in the rest between the seventh and eighth rounds. Promotor Jack O'Brien announced that Tony Shucco, long a favorite here and abroad, would appear at the auditorium next Friday night against a selected opponent.
    The preliminaries, on the contrary, were fast, furious and highly appreciated. Kayo Casper, the "Fighting Blacksmith", scored a technical knockout over Jimmy Sullivan in two rounds of constant action. Sullivan pounded several overhand rights of devastating power into the Casper physiognomy before Kayo could take control of the stituation, batter the Boston fighter around the ring and take the bout as Sullivan withdrew with an injured wrist.
    Young Bressor, 129 pounds, and Young Fay, 127 pounds, boxed four fast rounds in the curtain raiser with Bressor's aggressiveness counterbalancing Fay's longer reach.
    Gerald Markey scored one of his best victories over the stocky Cowboy Goudreau of St. Albans, hitting with perfect timing, anticipating every punch and using his long, vicious left to great advantage.
    Flashing his powerful left to the face and body, Battling Fritz, 125 pounds, of St. Albans dynamite, banged out a clean verdict over Young Ladue of South Burlington. Fritz, more experienced and a better boxer, closed Ladue's left eye with a ferocious attack to take a wide decision.

  • In the Summer of 1934 the world was moving along at a fast pace. John Dillinger, the desperado, was slain - Babe Ruth hit his 699th home run - Hitler's troops took over Austria - thousands went to Plymouth to pay tribute to the late President, Calvin Coolidge - and there was snow in Vermont on August 6th.
    In the world of boxing the likes of Joe Louis (who would become heavyweight champion of the world in 1937), Max Baer (who trained in Speculator, New York), and King Levinsky filled the front pages. Vermont boxing meanwhile was relegated to the sports page of area newspapers like the Bennington Evening Banner and the Burlington Free Press and Times. Summer affairs such as the Annual Dansville Fair, the Lamoille Valley Fair in Morrisville, the Northfield Armory, and The Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction, held boxing events. Local favorites where challenged by pugilists from New York, Massachusetts and Canada.
    The Champlain Valley Exposition boxing card was particularly brilliant that year. The event, held during the last day of the fair on the evening of September 1, 1934, featured 28 rounds of exciting boxing viewed by a crowd of 800. Seven Vermont lads came away with an impressive showing of three wins, three draws, and only one defeat.
    Gerald Markey of Burlington, a lightweight at 130 lbs, was featured in the main event of 8 rounds against Frankie "Young" Weiss of Albany, New York, who weighed in at 134 lbs. Markey won a decision in eight. The first semi-final bout pitted Mike Davies of Burlington - a last minute substitution for "Rocky" Homer, the colored tornado who had just moved up from Boston - against Freddie Sexton of Glens Falls, New York. Despite a fifteen lbs. weight difference, they went the full 6 rounds for a draw. King Phillips of St. Albans was featured in the second semi-final bout with a 4th round TKO over Tommy Murphy of Albany, New York.
    In the first of two preliminary bouts Young Bessette of Burlington fought to a 4th round draw with Kid Fay of Lakeside (Burlington). Johnny House of Winooski won a 4th round decision in the 150 lbs. class against fellow Vermonter Billy Robinson of Burlington.
    Meanwhile in the southern part of the state, Emil Dupre, a Danby Vermont middleweight, was down at the Meadow Brook Arena, in North Adams, Massachusetts getting an early start to his 1934-35 fight season by going the distance in a 4 round decision given to Eddie "Pride of the Berkshires" Decker of Housatonic, Massachusetts, on the evening of August 23, 1934. The fights were sponsored by the North Adams Athletic Association. He would go on to compile a 1 win and 3 loss record, all by decisions, at the V.F.W. sponsored fight cards at the Union Street Auditorium in Bennington. He would register a 4th round decision over Charlie Shea of Athol, Massachusetts on October 18, 1934, but go on to have three 4th round decisions against him by Johnny McCarty of Wocester, Massachusetts on November 1, 1934, and twice by "Wild" Freddie Wright - Bennington's "Rising Star" - on February 15 and 28, 1935.
    Noteworthy items in the Bennington Banner of the day where the opening of Bennington College - "a women's college" - for it's third year - the cruise ship "Morro Castle" catching fire off the New Jersey coast - and Bing Crosby, Miriam Hopkins and Kitty Carlisle appearing for two days at the General Stark Theatre in Bennington.
