Wilson Gets "a Draw with Dever.
Boxing is becoming an uncertain game.
Two weeks ago Eddie Connell was viz
tually knocked out by James Dever of
Washington in a battle before the Polo
A. c. and Saturday night Bobby Wilson
of this city fought Dever to a standstill
at time and easily outpointed him in.
cleverness Notwithstanding the decision
was a draw. Previous to these battles
in a contest at North Hudson between
Wilson and Connell the latter beat Will
son. This proves that it is very difficult
to get a line on fighters as is the case in
other games. When ConneIl was put out
in six rounds by Deyer and it was known
that Wilson had been matched to meet
him, sports predicted Wilson'S downfall,
but to the contrary he proved himself a
better man, and although he could not
hit as hard he left many marks on Dew
or's face and body and several times had
| him going, but his strength pulled him
| through. Wilson tired In the tenth and
| Deyer. who was the strongest, tried to
| get to him., but Wilson'S stiffness kept
him out of danger until the bell rang.
RodeD Defeated. u
Saturday Charley Roden was defeated
In his battle with Steve Flanagan of
! Philadelphia at the Broadway A. A., and
although he lasted the full limit of ten
rounds the Jersey City boy was badly
punished. Flanagan was too clever for
.Roden and a much harder hitter, all
though Roden forced the fighting for
three rounds the blows delivered by Flan-
nigan were very effective and showed
plainly In Roden's condition, 1t was
clearly the hardest punching Roden ever
received. and proves that Flanagan is
above the ordinary run of bantam
weights in this vicinity. He may be
i matched against Ward or Leon.
