winning the fight eventually by these
tactics.
Castro started in 70 lead in the sixth
but a terrific jab on his ribs caused him
To plaster his right over the sore spot
while Modlin hit him at Will. He was
going when the gong ended the fight
and O'Meara gave an excellent decision
in giving the fight to the soldier.
BARRY AND KELLY.
There We're some who argued last
night that as Kelly and Barry were
going up on the same steamer the
fight must be faxed an imputation
strongly resented by the many friends
of Barry who are willing to stake
everything on his squareness. Dave is
a manly fellow who has always acted
squarely whether in the ring facing
his opponent against whom he never
bears malice or in his private life in
which he has made himself a universal
favorite The fake criera', were prob
ably chagrfned at Barry's failing TO put
out Kelly, one OF the toughest PROPOSE
tions on the Coast ia three or four
rounds and We're probably the same few
who wanted Barry to punch Kelly when
he was down before he got his feet.
though the rule enforces the stepping
back of ten feet.
There was not a suspicion of taking
on either side as Ke1Iy's loose teeth
and broken lip might testify. Barry
was unable to knock him out from KEEL
ly's stalling tactics and the strength
needed to continually throw off
heavier man. Had hitting in clinches
been allowed the end would have come
sooner but Kelly, as he did with Niger
Woods, made a rush at the beginning
of every round and then logged it out
by embracing Dave. There may have
been half a dozen dissatisfied folks out
of the thousand odd who saw the fight
but certainly no more.
ROUND BY ROUND.
Barry stepped into his corner at 1915
looking fit with arms and face showing
tanned against his white chest from his
Waikiki beach training ground. Kelly
seemed fat. Barry halfway through
the round sent Kelly against the ropes
through which he part way fell and
Dave helped him out of the tangle.
SECOND ROUND.
In the second Kelly came dp fresh
and some brisk exchanges took place.
Kelly started to hit in the clinches and
Dave retaliated. Kelly would lead to
Dawes jaw time and time again only
to find a glove blocking it while Dawes
return got home hard on KeIly's neck
and jaw. Kelly got in a low punch
which caused Barry to protest and
seemed to cause him trouble after he
got into his corner.
THIRD ROUND, FOUL BLOW.
In the third Cyclone offered to shake |
hands with Barry. who replied. That's |
all right, Cyke," and the fight went on /
with Barry allowing Kelly to hit his |
head piece in the hope, usually fulfilled |
of getting in a swing to the jaw in re- |
turn. Dave does not claim helly's foul |
was intentional but an accident that |
might happen to anyone. All the same |
he began to force matters after receiv-
ing it.
FIRST KNOCK DOWN.
In the fourth Kelly opened with a |
rush and landed. Mix UP followed in |
which Barry stood up and used a |
straight arm work to good advantage. |
knocking Kelly down for four seconds. |
SECOND KNOCK DOWN.
In the fifth, Kelly rushed once more.
but was forced back by Barry who
finally placed his left close to the belt |
by one to the jaw which sent
Kelly down again for six. seconds, this
time protesting on a foul. Referee Fox
cautioned both men against low
punches.
KELLY TAKES FULL COUNT.
In the sixth, the fight seemed all over.
Kelly started in cyclonic style but
Dave had adopted jabbing tactics and
'ound his mark. KelIy's mouth was
BADLY swollen and he went down groggy
rom straight left, taking the count.
Barry tried hard to finish him, infiicting
nasty punishment in the corner, but
he gong found Kelly still on his feet.
KELLY RECUPERATES.
In the seventh Kelly rushed and land
d two heavy swings which staggered
Barry for while and both men were
beginning to lack steam. Dave took a
un to the resin box and showed one
cot into it while Kelly was dizzy and
inished the round landing at viii
A STUBBORN RESISTANCE.
In the eighth Barry kept on hitting
s he wanted apparently with Kelly
very little while attempting a smash.
Kelly was very groggy but game.
THE SPONGE GOES Up.
In the ninth and last Kelly made his
sual rush but was brought up with i
hot one on the stomach followed by !
to the neck and jaw
which sent him to the cloth. Six was .
ounted and Kelly was on his knees,
own but not out, whipped but game,
s his second seeing him bested and
adly punished threw up the sponge.
