Gardners going downs came like clock
work, until the crowd yelled to Ack-
erman to let up on him. When Card
ner went down for the last time his
face was a CORY sight and the life
seemed beaten out of him.
Castro and Modlin proved a disap-
pointment, for in the first round Castro
received a blow on his right side which
broke rib and he threw up the sponge.
While the fight lasted, however, it was
an exciting go. Castros peculiar
crouch and his straight jabs into Mod
Inns neck We're terrific. Modln was
vsibly Jared. He had a terrible
right which swung as he made an ag-
gressive rush. Both of his fists swung
on both sides of Modlin's head. Then
Modlin got in his work. A few blows
went to Castro's wind and one, just
before the gong sounded, smashed him
in the ribs, crushing one. That finished
the bout.
When Barry stepped into the ring he
was received with a shout. Barrys

skin and the red flush on his cheeks,

Barry was suffering from an attack of
malaria. Murphy looked to be in good
condition. fifteen round contest was
announced by Referee Jimmy Fox.
Murphy scored the first blow, landing
right on Barry's face. Barry went
for the wind. Light blows We're eX-
changed and then Barry got in two
heavy strokes on Murphy's wind and
neck. In scrimmage Murphy fell but
quickly recovered himself. There was
hardly an instant that gloves We're not
crossing. One of Barry's short rights
staggered the Australian, the latter
leading for Barry's wind. At close
quarters Barry got in some jabs on
the wind, Murphy being unable to re-
spond.
In the second round Murphy led and
seven times in succession got in right
swing on Barry's head. Head blows
are Barrys delight and he did not even
put up a guard. Then Barry mixed
and made things interesting. Blow af-

steady on his pins. Barry began to
hook and caught Murphy over the kid
neys. Murphy received terrible pun
ishment and was kept close to the
ropes. Barry's left went for the face
and his right for the wind, the dose
being repeated several times. Murphy
grew weak and failed to block blows.

! In the third round Barry dealt some
heavy blows on Murphy's wind as a
starter. At one time while Murphy
was staggering Barry was merciful and
failed to give the blow which would
have knocked him out. Murphy seemed
to get his wind back again and his
right slugged Barry in the wind. He
crowded Barry toward the ropes but
the Irishman recovered quickly and
sent Murphy reelng. Murphy fell or
short left jab. 1t Is the short jabs
that make Barry so formidable. A
right handler sent Murphy through the
ropes and before he could recover the
gong mercifully saved him. Murphy
was clearly in funk.
The fourth and last round brought
terrible punishment for Murphy. He
surprised the audience, however, by
smashing Barry three blows on the Jaw
which would have knocked out a less
hardy opponent. Barry then hooked
