BULLITT TOPPLES FAVORED GOLDEN GLOVES TITLIST IN N. E. 135-lb. CROWN

Climaxing a spectacular series of triumphs which have led him steadily up the amateur boxing ladder since his entrance into the New England championships, Johnny Bullitt of Dunster House last Monday night won a cleancut decision against former Golden Gloves light-weight champ Jimmy Sauer, of Cambridge, which brought him to the lead in the 135 pound division and within an ace of capturing the George V. Brown trophy awarded to the outstanding New England pugilist of the season.

The sensational Junior, whom Coach Henry Lamar has called "the most outstanding young boxer I've seen," has held the University light-weight championship since his Freshman year. In search of real competition he entered the New England amateur tourney this spring, after he was unable to find a contestant to oppose him in the College even when he chose to box in the open heavy-weight department.

Nephew of Ambassador

Nephew of the former French ambassador, and prize protege of Coach Lamar, Bullitt without a falter cleaned up in the trial elimination series for the New England championship and entered the open competition. Defeating three local boys from the Boston area and a sergeant from Fort Devens, he climbed to the finals where he faced Jimmy Sauer, Golden Gloves champ in the 135 pound department who was considered one of the outstanding amateurs of the year.

With Coach Lamar in his corner, Johnny Bullitt gave Sauer a decisive and brilliant whipping, taking the bout in the third round on a technical knockout with his opponent reeling on the ropes. Except for the second period, during which Sauer rallied and held a slight edge, Bullitt consistently out-boxed him and handed out terrific punishment with a left jab to the body, right cross to the head, and final left hook routine.
