Only one Of the four ten round bouts at the
Greenpoint A. C.'s show last night WAS fought
to the limit. The scrapping was fairly good,
but was too tame to suit tho crowd. Most Of
the boxers were local men.
Joe Cain and Jack Kemp. both o. Brooklyn. at
122 pounds. entertained the crowd IN the open
ing bout. Cain MS soon as he put up his hands
convinced his admirers that he could fight. and
bowlldcrei his opponent with vicious swings
and puzziing feints. When it was evident that
Kemp could not last through the round Tho
referee intcrfercd and gave the decision TO Cain.
The second bOut was a ludicrous affair. Ths
principals were Joe White. a son OF the late
Frank White. and Harry Kyle. colored. OF tins
