RYAN GIVES WEST
 SEVERE DRUBBING
Bloody Prize Fight Takes Place
 at Louisville

For Six Rounds Tommy Ryan Made a Neritable Choppine Block of West. Several Persons Were Nau.
 seated by the Sight.

Louisville, March 4-Tommy Ryan of Syracuse was tonight given the decision over Tommy West of Brooklyn after seventeen rounds of a twenty round contest, Vests seconds throwing up the sponge.
 The fight took place at the Auditorium, under the auspices of the Southern Ath- letic Club, and was the bloodiest and most desperate ever seen in Louisville. The men had been training for weeks and were as fit as possible They entered the ring at catch weights and each weighed in the neighborhood of 157 pounds. Tim Hurst was the referee. After the tenth round West was assisted by Terry Me Govern. In the first round honors were about even though both went right in for business. Both landed often and hard, West getting in several hard jolts on Ryan's nose. In the second round Ryan was knocked down twice and seemed all but out when the gong sounded. At the first knock down Ryan took almost the full count. The third and fourth rounds were Vests and the fifth was Ryan's, swinging wild.
 
 was open and soon his breast was crim- son. Then West landed on Ryan's nose and there was more blood. Ryan was the aggressor in this round, but West blocked and landed at will and but for the gong might have finished his man. In the seventh Ryan's lip was split and Vests nose was broken, his right eye places and his cheek split. Blood poured from his wounds, time after time Ky an landed on the injured places. He played continually for the broken nose and for the next half dozen rounds made a veritable chopping block of West. The punishment West took was wonderful, blood pouring from nearly dozen of his wounds. Vests corner looked like slaughter house and the fight announcer actually had to wipe blood from the floor with mop. So bloody, indeed, was the fight that several persons near the ring were nauseated and had to leave the hall. Still during round after round West came up, only for pounding on the nose, eye and cheek. In the seventeenth round when 1t was seen that West was fighting @ hopeless fight Terry McGovern threw up the sponge for West, and, therefore, gave the decision to Ryan.
