Neither Man BADLY Punished.


The bout was remarkable for its freedom
from noticeable punishment for either man
FeltZ received the only mark Of the battle
in a cut 10 and badly cat eye which a
savage left from Regan opened in the last
round.
in the first ttlrec rounds the men went
directly into cllnches. working desperately
and showing each other about the ring as
they sent hooks. labs and uppe-cuts into
each other with one arm free FeitZ tried
again and again short-arm jab while hold
ing with the other arm. only TO find fore
arm Of Resan blocking the blow. while the

stomach

The fourth round was AL Regan's by a
good margin and he sent Feltz to the floor

down with a punch. He staggered Tommy
badly with a right punch to the FACE when

by Feltz's aggressiveness but the sixth
was all the New Yorke--s He rushed
Feltz. and, getting in savage hooks and
right and left jabs to his face, had Tom
my's lip bleeding at the close.
The seveIth found Johnny still clever and
aggressive. with Feltz willing to work at
long range whenever possible and to bore
in and then get away when a chance pre-
scented. In the eighth and ninth Reyan
