the time but fumbles by the juniors

CHERRY MAY MEET NEIL
His Victory Over Feltz Entities Him
to a Bout With the Bantam
weight Champion.

New Orleans last week got back into
the list of cities where boxing is allowed.
and the first fight has given rise to no
end of discussion
Referee Violett's decision in giving
Broad the verdict over Tim Callahan
made the trouble.
Both men were on their feet at the
end of the fifteenth round, but the
official thought that Broad had had the
better Of the going and gave him the
decision on points.
Mr.. Violet may lave been right, his
decision may have been entirely honest,
but it is a bit difficult to credit that
Broad could outpoint the clever Tim.
Broad is rugged and hard fstter, but
he has never been famed for cleverness.
