Athletic club last evening was the scene
OF three excellept boxing bouts. m which
the spectators got their fll OF clever work,
and there was hardly member who could
find fault with the entertainment which
had been provided. There was a dispo-
sition on the part Of some TO criticise
Referee Jack Shsehan OF Boston, who de-
cided that Kid Powell OF woonsocket was
entitled to the decision over Kid PAUL Of
Fail River
There were many Fall River members
on hand, and as PAUL had never had
decision given against him. they were
sorely disappointed In their man, and
while the referee judged according 10 hts
knowledge OF the sport and with long
experience OF ring matters, the Fall River
men believed that II should have been
draw.
The bout between Monk. the Newsboy
and Young Clark OF Fall River was even
q better exhibition than the main bout
and this time the decision was satisfac-
tory. The boys met al li0 pounds and
though Clark was the heavier, the News
boy trimmed him down To his size and
left no doubt I'm the minds of the specta-
tors as To who was the better man
The opening bout was betwes Rfngod
OF Providence and Brady Of Pawtucket
who took the places Of Hugh Doyle OF
Brooklyn and Jim Kelly OF Worcester
The boys put up six rounds OF friendly
pleasing work. both showing up well and
going the limit In n msnnsr that was
highly satisfactory. The boys kept NOV
ing and were clean and sportsmanlike.
MAIN BOUT GOOD ONE
The main bout was next put on TO give
the principals a chance 10 leave for their
homes, and they went 10 rounds. PAUL
is a huskily built young man and Powell
Is more on the Jim Corbett plans and
specifca tions. and the latter had the ad-
vantage of height and reach PAUL was
apparently the heavier and stronger. The
bout was under Queensberry rules. and
the men took advantage OF the rules 10
the limit.
In the clinches PAUL hammered away
at Powell's ribs and Powell did the Cor
bett act of sprinting around the ring and
ducking swing after swing cleverly. But
occasionally he would turn and land lab
and swing that stopped PAUL effectively.
From the opening PAUL started to force
the work and he got right after Powell.
but Powell handed out straight punch
that gave PAUL an idea that his rushing
was not feafed7-
PAUL kept at his man. however. and
while Powell blocked and guarded we'll,
PAUL had the better OF the round. In the
second round PAUL did the better work
and II looked all his way, though PAUL
was cautioned by the referee for punching
low. and the men started TO rough II. In
the third PAUL kept up his rushing and
Powell would dance away, and when OPP
portunty came would turn and land
swings and jabs that were effective.
PAUL began to swing wildly and Powell
blocked these cleverly.
PAULL's RUSHING TIRING.
In the next two rounds Paul had ap-
ha hat of
his rushing was tiring him and there vas
fast work done, but the inhghting MAS
not damaging. The sixth round saw
Powell get back good and hard and his
swings more than once stopped PAUL.
who was following his man. a straight
counter, followed by right swing. was
the forte OF the WoonsocSet man.
In the rounds thai followed the men got
together good and hard. PAUL being the

Gaping by ducleing and frequently landing
tabs In the eighth Powell easily had the
better Of H. for he forced the work and
handed out a couple Of hard lefts and
used both hands effectively on Paulls
head.
Both men tried for a finish I'm the ninth
round and the men played foe each other,
but they let opportunity after opportunity
escape. PAUL began rushing In the last
round and while he landed a couple OF
swings, Powell got in his hooks and jabs
and he kept away from Paulls wild leads.
The bout between Monk. the Newsboy,
and Young Clark was the finale for the
evening Mike Tierney. HOWE Hodgkns
and Joe Murphy were behind the News
boy and Hughey Clancy, Mackey and
Riley attended Clark The men started
I'm the work carefully. but Clark forced
matters from the start and he had things
all his own way for FIVE rounds. He was
stronger than the Newsboy, II appeared.
and he used his strength 10 good advan-
tage.
The Newsboy made speciality OF
cllnching and the men were hanging on
10 each other all through the bout. and II
required constant work on the part Of the
referee to keep them going. Clark was
cool and did fine work In the first FIVE
rounds The Newsboy would duck and

good Judgment. Time and time again the
Newsboy ducked into wicked left swings
and In the fourth round Il appeared that
the Newsboy was all In.

thrown away, and the Newsboy began TO
get back for he had allowed Clark to do
all the forcing and the FAN River man
was tiring Monk then was better able
10 take care OF Clark's leads and swings,
and he did not duck into the lefts that
Clark had been handing To him earlier In
