Solomon and Green
Box to Draw


the middleweight class last night long
enough to administer decisive beat
ing TO light heavyweight, winning
popular decision after twenty
rounds Of terrific battling with Mike
schreck Of Cincinnati, who out
weighed Twin fully sixteen pounds.
The exhibition was one of the pret-
tiest given in many months before q
Los Angeles audience and the clever
boxing of the principals was frequent-
ly the occasion for deafenng applause
from the excited thousands In the
Maud junction pavilion.
The battle was q hammer and tongs
affair from the tap of the gong ana
after the first two rounds Sullivan set
tied down to business and gradually
edged away from Schreck, and before
the tenth round was over the Boston
boy had a clear lead which Schreck
could not overcome.
Schreck forced the fighting in the
early stages and his superior weight
was apparent in his rushes, when he
frequently forced Twin to the ropes IN
clinches through main strength and
awkwardness.
Twins terrible left was working like
a trip hammer every second, and this
lab stick carried off the greatest por-
tion of the points and glory for Twin.
Sullivan landed twofold more effect
i've blows than did Schreck and his
leads were characterized with pre-
cision and smack which gave evidence
of their effectiveness.
Schreck Leads Wildly
On the contrary, Schreck was wild
and repeatedly swung off balance as
Ag
head and body. In clinches Twin had
all the best of the argument and regu-
Iarly landed uppercuts and leads for
the head in breakaways.
Schreck carried the fight to Twin
throughout and received n vigorous
drubbing for his trouble. Twin played
his usual waiting game and cleVerly
blocked or ducked all leads and coun-
tered effectively.
Sullivan put greater steam behind his
blows than did Schreck and in the sew
eral mixups with rights and lefts, Twin
scored heavily in point of effectiveness.
Sullivan was in his usual good con-
dition and fought clever battle, while
Schreck apeared to be soft and out of
condition. The contrast in the appear
ance of the two was great and Schreck
gave visible evidence of the effect of
the hurried taking off of weight.
In the mixups Schreck was slow and
uncertain and when he landed his
blows lacked steam and seemingly gave
Twin but slight concern. Occasionally
Schreck was able to get home a lead
for Twins head and kidneys which
gave rise to hope among the Cincinnati
boys friends that he would secure q
draw, but at no stage of the battle
after the first five rounds did 1t appear
that Schreck could win.
Hogan Explains
After the battle Manager Hogan ex-
plained the defeat of his scrapper in
the fact that he was forced to reduce
too quickly and by aid of Turkish
baths. and was proportionately weak
ened in the process
Hogan asserts that Schreck was
twelve pounds overweight Monday
night and took off this weight by the
hour of weighing in yesterday. This
rapid reduction was effected at sacri-
flee of condition and Schreck fought a
desperate battle to get draw, although
he was hopeful of winning when he
went into the ring.
Charlie Eyton refereed the battle and
gave satisfaction to all interested, and
his decision was popular and accepted
by the crowd as fair and correct.
The main event was preceded by two
rattling good preliminaries. Mauro
Herrera, whose chief fame heretofore
with the Los Angeles fans was his re-
lationship to Aurelio, made his local
debut in the ring against Kid West of
Pasadena.
Herrera outpointed West in the first
round and early in the second round
sent the Pasadena boy to the floor with
one of those celebrated Herrera hooks
made famous by Aurelio.
Police Stop Bout
When West regained his feet his
mind was wandering and he strode to
his corner with his arms at full length
by his sides and was much dazed.
Herrera rushed in and landed rights
and lefts to the jaw and again floored
West, this time for what seemed to be
the count but at this point the police
stopped the scrap and Herrera was
given the decision.
The main preliminary was the battle
between Kid Solomon the undefeated
and Joe Green of Chicago, who it is
said was imported for the especial pur-
pose of knocking off Solomon's block.
This event rivaled to some extent the
main event i'm point of interest and
lively ring work Solomon was up
against his match and with all his
cleverness and ring generalship he was
only able to get draw with the Chi
cago lad.
Green was constantly mixing it up
with Solomon and gave the local boy
no chance to get in his fine work which
has won so many battles for him in the
past several months.
1t was give and take, with Solomon
having an edge in the fighting in
clinches, but Green overcame this slight
margin by his effective leads and upper
cuts and in several instance it seemed
that the Chicago boy would win via
the knockout route, but Solomons recu-
peratiye ability stood him i'm good stead
and saved him the humiliation.
They fought ten fierce rounds and
both We're unsteady and tired after the
fifth whirlwind exchange There was
very little fiddling in this scrap and
constant rain of blows was the rule.
1t was one of the best exhibitions
ever given i'm local ring and both boys
are dissatisfied with the result. 1t is
probable that another match will re-
suit and each win have large follow
ing If they are brought together again.
