Godfrey v. Munn

There is always a blackamoor in the pugilistic woodpile. Recently Harry Wills, for many years dark menace to the supremacy of two-fisted whites, was dismissed from the woodpile by a knockout at the hand of Paolino Uzcudun. The place of Mr. Wills was last week acquired by George Godfrey, 228 1/2-pound blackamoor actor* of Leiperville, Pa. Mr. Godfrey disposed of Monte Munn, onetime Nebraska legislator, onetime wrestler, whose alma, mater is the University of Nebraska. Messrs. Godfrey & Munn were scheduled to fight twelve rounds. The referee checked the proceedings in the fourth, out of sympathy for Mr. Munn. He had been knocked flat in the third for the count of nine; was tired, bloody, outclassed.

*Mr. Godfrey played well as the Negro cook in the spectacular film, Old Ironsides. He is also potent at football.
