Peacock Fights Gauli
For North American
Bantam Title Tonight
By tha Associated Brass
NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—The
neglected bantamweight class, a
lively boxing division in the days
of Pete Herman, Joe Lynch and
Tony Canzoneri, makes a come
back tonight with a North Ameri
can championship match.
Brooklyn’s Eastern Parkway
will be the scene of the 12-round
bout between Henry (Pappy)
Gault of Spartanburg, S. C.,
North American champion, and
Billy Peacock, former Phila
delphia amateur titleholder now
fighting out of Los Angeles.
(The fight between the two
118-pounders will be tele
vised in Washington by WTTG,
channel 5, beginning at 9:30
p.m.)
Jimmy Carruthers of Austra
lia holds the world bantam
weight crown on the strength of
two knockout victories over Vic
Toweel in South Africa. The
National Boxing Association set
up the North American cham
pionship to stimulate interest in
the division with Gault defeat
ing Fernando Gagnon at Quebec
last October in the tournament
finals.
Gault, 24. has made four suc
cessful defenses and has lost
only one of 10 starts this year,
a decision to Robert Cohen at
Paris.
His career record for 46 fights
is 39-6-1. He has 10 knockouts
and was stopped twice. He’s a

Whitfield Attacks 400 Record
After World Mark in 1,000
By the Associated Press
ESKILSTUNA, Sweden, Aug.
17.—Mai Whitfield, the former
Air Force sergeant from Ohio
State who has been making a
hobby of collecting world track
records, today set his sights on
the 400-meter mark.
"I plan to shoot for it later
this week at Copenhagen,” Whit
field said, “and maybe I’ll be
able to break it.”
He already has smashed five
marks this year—including the
1,000-meter standard yesterday
—and nothing would please him
more than to win the Sullivan
Award at the end of the year.
“I’d certainly like to win it,”
Whitfield said. “After all, no
member of my race ever has won
it before and I would consider
it one of my greatest honors if
I became the first colored ath
lete to take it.”
He was clocked in 2:20.8 for
the 1,000 meters yesterday in
finishing far ahead of Reggie
Pearman of the New York Pio
neer Club and Sweden’s Sune
Brostroem, second and third, re
spectively.
The recognized world record
for the distance is 2:21.3, set by
THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. C.
MONDAY. AUGUST 17, 1953
Olle Aberg of Sweden last Oc
tober. Stanislaw Jungwirth of
Czechoslovakia claims to have
run it in 2:21.2, but the record
never has been submitted to the
International Federation.
“That was a wonderful feel
ing,” he said, “but I think I
could have run it even faster if
I had more competition. Pear
man set a good pace for the first
lap, but then he fell back and I
had to run the rest of the race
by myself.”
He added that from now on,
he will concentrate on tha 400
meters and 1,500 meters. In the
process of setting the 1.000-me
ter record, Mai crossed the 400-
meter mark in 49.9, just one
tenth of a second off George
Rhoden’s world mark. The listed
1,500-meter record is 3:43, held
jointly by Sweden's Gunder
Haegg and Lennart Strand.
Whitfield’s world records now
include the 500-yard indoor
(56.6), 600-yard indoor (1:09.5),
the 500-meter indoor (1:02.9),

“I felt I would be able to set
