m~arkably poor success. The team was

seemed afflicted with stage fright. Jersey

Many disappointed sports were present
last night at the boxing exhibition of the

the principal event was to have been an
eight-round fight between Larry Becker
Of Staten Island and Joe Craig Of this
city; but which instead came to an alb
rupt ending after the second round by
Craig's refusal to continue the contest.
although there was no apparent reason
why he should not do so. The opening
round was tame and no injury was in
hicted. The only thing about it was that
Becker proved himself a worker and did
not intend to lose any time after the
bell n He got right down to bust
ness, and after a moments sparring
planted a hard smash on Craig's wind.
He put another on the same spot and
Craig made weak efforts al return. He
would rush at Becker with head lowered
and his opponent would easily get away.
That was all there was to Craig'S fight
ing. He displayed none of the skill that
came so near winning his hgh with
O'Neil. A righthand smash on the jaw
put Craig on the retreat. and he ran
around the. ring with Becker after him
all the time until the bell cut the round
short. Craig saw he was up~nagainstSa

preferred to take no chances of q lick
