Moore outpolnted the Los Angeles lad.
The last round. the fourth, was slower. the
terrific pace set by Moore firing Davis
out. After each round the applause fair-
ly shocked the building.
The crowd had not finished talking OF
the go when Jack Moore, the clubs

bell, another clever fast featherweight,
entered the ring. Before they were given
the gong the lads were cautioned by the
referee to break away when ordered, and
both promised TO do so. but their promises
were like those OF politician. forgotten.

as he always does. but there was boy

Moore's was the most accurate. Camp
bell had q habit of holding on with his
left arm In a clinch and beating tattoo
on Moore's ribs with his right. The latter
soon got on to this. however. and there
was a double tattoo. The mix-ups were

In the second round. Both boys were tired
at the end. but were repaid by the gen

impression Is that Moore would win hand

The next pair to shy their castor INTO
the ring were Herb Sullivan. OF the b. A.

Founders. They put up good. clean set

favor of Wright. Both are fairly good

At the conclusion of this bout the crowd
shifted to the upper end OF the hall to the
