ANGELI KNOCKS
CORDELL OUT
CROWD WITNESSES FIVE FAIR
FIGHTS
Kid Solomon Wins From Billy Walsh
in Four Fast and Furious
Rounds-Rube Jeffrles
Defeats BelII

With stinging right to the jaw Joe
Angel laid Jack Cordell low in the
sixth round of their whirlwind go last
night and closed thirty-two round ex-
hibition in which much of the amateur
entered into the sport.
CleverneSS was not a Superabundant
quality but enough grueling work oc-
CURED to satisfy the fair sized crowd
that gathered within the pavilion. With
the exception of Gorman-Mayfield go,
which at times appeared tame, the men
fought with a will.
AS fight. the Soloman-Walsh mill
was the prettiest while 1t lasted, but
the "Ghetto Kid showed too strong
for the game little Walsh lad and when
he staggered bewildered to his corner
after the fourth round, the sponge
went into the ring. Soloman played his
usual cunning game and when, in the
middle of the last round, Walsh tired
himself out desperately trying to force
him down, the Kid came back furf-
ously and Walsh took the count for a
good six. He was up again only to
drop before the wicked right of Solo,
man and was on the floor as the gong
sounded.
The first bout, which was between
Jimmy Davis and Kid Webster, was
hammer and tongs affair from the tap
x,
to work in the opening rounds made it
look as though the fight would not go
the limit. 1t was give and take, with
no telling where either would land. and
during the closing rounds Webster,
whose crouch saved him from much
of the punishment that was coming to
him, was little to the good in forcing
the fighting. When the end of the
tenth found both good and strong, with
Webster rushing matters, Referee Rob
inson lifted the boys arm, indicating
Webster winner
Rube Jeffries Has Easy Time
Rube Jeffries took round and half
to dispose of William Bell, and 1t was
only the gong that saved the wrestler
in the first round, for he hit the floor
three times before the whaling blows
of the lanky Rube. Jeffries jumped at
the bell and rushing the muscle-bound
matt man to the ropes, proceeded to
use him for punching apparatus until
Robinson in mercy stopped it. There is
suspicion that Bell hit Jeffries in the
first round. Some one said so and may
be they know.
A procession of celebrities passed in
and out during the short intermission
and received such welcome as the crowd
thought was necessary according 70
their respective status in the pugilistic
world
Jack "Twin" Sullivan was the first,
and in response to calls for a speech
said, Gentlemen, I am willing to meet
any middleweight in the world"
Tommy Burns was the next, and though
he received a loud invitation was not
equal to the occasion and slipped out
of the ring without saying who it was
he wanted.
Steve Harbin stated that he desired
to meet the winner of the Solomon
Walsh fight-that was before the fight.
Jack Johnson was introduced as the
champion negro heavyweight of the
world, hailing from Australia. though
the house insisted that Arizona was his
home.
SoIomon's Science Tells
Both Solomon and Walsh received a
good hand as they entered the ring
and after considerable play for an
opening started into a furious miXup,
both using a right hand wallop. 1t
was give and take with the honors
even at the bell. In the second round
Referee Eyton had all he could do in
tearing the men apart. Walsh threw
some telling rights to the Kids body
