 Maspeth, L. l.. Dec. 3o.-The final bouts in the tournament for 115 and lS5- pound classes were decided tonight at the Empire Athletic club. There was only very small crowd,
 Bennie Leon of New York and Dave Wall of Ireland" who drew tie on Monday night, were the next pair in the 115-pound class. Wall was announc- ed as the champion bantam of the green isle. Leon had Wall completely at his mercy in the first round and started the Irishman's claret flowing freely with a right on the left eye, In the second, third, fourth and fifth rounds Wall in a series of Tushes hustled Leon around the ring. Leon was Walls su- perior in the fstie art and landed far more blows, but Wall took his punish ment manfully Wall did all the fight ing in the sixth and last round. Hon. ors were even and the referee ordered another round. The men then fought fiercely all around the ring, The ref cree could not choose between them and another round was fought. The men in this round went at it hammer and tongs, and Wall's bad eye started to bleed afresh. Still he was game. The referee gave Leon the decision, but it was a very close one.
 The star bout was then brought on. IL was between Dobbs of Minneapolis s and Hill of Boston, the "pickannIny," in the final round at the lightweight limit, 135 pounds. The bout was ten rounds for the championship Of New York state. The first round was devot- ed to hddling until just before the tell rang, when Hill rushed and nearly knocked his man down with a left handler on the neck. Neither of tie lads showed inclination to come to close quarters until the third round when a left handler from the pickaninny that was suspici6usly below the belt made Dobbs wrathful and the spat"ing be- came more lively Dobbs landed d stinging blow in the wind and ool1 right and left on the neck and ribs
 Hill inthe fourth round swung his Sleft on the head too often for Dobps' comfort Ins the next round. after a hot rally, the t'pick" crossed his left on the wind The 'pick" rushed lis man in the sixth, and Dobbs went down twice in trying to get away. The ''pick" used both hands with advantage, and had Dobbs very tired Tn the seventh round, Dobbs tried rushing tactics, but left in the ribs and a right in the wind steadied him The pick sent in right and left with tell ing effect and had all the best of the round. In the next round Dobbs had forcing orders from his seconds, but his efforts lacked steam and the pick anninny stood him off. Dobbs rushed at his man like a cyclone and slip ping, fell all over himself. When he got up there was a partial clinch and the pick" swung his left on the neck and foored his man. The referee stop ped the bout and gave the decision to Dobbs on a foul. Hill was very wrathy and stigmatized the referee and club as a set of robbers. The Boston boy had decidedly the best of the fight when the alleged foul took place.
 The last bout was to have been the final in the bantam class between Maxey Hugh and Bennie Leon, Leon refused to go on and Hugh was de- cared the winner in the 115 pound class.
