AND TOOK THE DECISION OVER
PURCELL
Several other Little-Known Sluggers
Show More or Less Skill in
the Ring

STOCKTON, Oct. 3.-Before the Stockton
Athletic association tonight Joe Reay OF
the Olympic secured the decision over
Frank Purcell of the San Fancisco Ath-
letlc clubI in a fast ten-round go. though
it was not a one-sided match by any
means as Purcell put up pretty fight He
relied on a swing TO put his man out. while
Reay kept sending in> his left with good
effect or, Purcell's jaw from the opening
round till the fight was over. He has i'm
proved wonderfully since he last appeared
before the local club, and it was his clever
defense that saved him from the wicked
swings of his opponent.
There was considerable clinching in sew
eral of the rounds and although the men
agreed not to hit in clinches, both of them
forgot themselves three or four times and
resorted to short arm punches when one
glove was free.
It was give and take for three rounds,
with Reay on the aggressive. At the close
Reay had landed almost twice to his op-
ponent's once. From the fourth to the
seventh Reay was on the aggressive and
used his left with good effect, stopping
some vicious swings. In the last three
Purcell tried to even up, but only sue
ceeded in holding Reay even for the
rounds ard the decision was given to the
latter.
Ed Toy secured the decision over James
Higgins in the tenth in what should have
been draw. Jack McAIahon knocked
Vickers out inside of minute in the first
round with a left on the chin. Harry Gel
der and H. NJ Platt, featherweight wrest-
lers. were on the mat for sixty minutes
and neither was able to secure fall

the 126-pound championship, but the fight
lastetd a little less than ore-fourth of the
intended distance, White being the winner
by long odds. Whites reach was big
advantage to him and from the first round
it was apparent that he would get all the
money. Mcbride was game to the core,
but he was outclassed In the sixth round
Mcbride was sent to the floor three times
in quick succession with heavy right
swings on the jaw. and the referee merci-
fully stopped the bout then and there. in
order to prevent Danny's being knocked
out and probably seriously injured
