II was an extremely self satisfied
crowd that filed from Maud junction
pavilion last night after Referee Eyton
had raised Harry Bakers arm in token
Of victory over game little Kid Dalton
who had done his best to get under the
clever defense of the San Francisco
boy.
Championship events are not to be
tapooed but the card carried out at the
north end house last night was all that
could be desired from standpoint of
excitement. With the exception of one
go every man on the bill entered the
fun with a firm belief that he would win
and sufficient gore was spilled during
the six events to have lent eclat to any
fistic attraction.
Although tame in comparison to some
of the preceding affairs the ten round
go between Harry Baker and Kid Dali
ton proved the star attraction of the
evening. Baker demonstrated the fact
that he is one of the cleVerest boys in
the business, lacking sufficient punch
Ing power to place him far up the lad
der as a ringster Dalton endeavored
during the earlier portion of the bout
to meet Baker at the boxing game and
thereby lost a possible chance of WIN
ming from the northern lad.
The Kid was not a match for Baker
when it came to handling the gloves but
toward the latter part of the go threw
caution to the winds and rushed the
Olympic boy about the ring with his
greater strength. 1t was too late, how
ever, and Baker was able to elude
danger and at the same time come
back with his tantalizng left to the
face.
Van Court, the veteran instructor of
the San Francisco club, was behind his
protege and throughout the ten rounds,
guided the boy with a practiced hand.
When Baker hesitated too long before
the charging Dalton it was move
around Harry" from Van Court. At
will he sent his left to Dalton's face
and at times rocked the dark boys head
with successive tatoos. There was not
sufficient steam, however, to worry
Dalton into staying away and though
he came back with untiring persistency
he was met with rain of jabs that
frustrated every effort to reach the
slender feather to any effect.
The opening of the sixth round gave
promise of stirring times, as Baker
with whirlwind start went after Dali
ton in Joe Grim style. The onslaught
was checked, however, when Baker,
for one of the few times during the go
whipped in his right three times in
rapid succession.
During the last three rounds Dalton
waxed strong and made a desperate
attempt to batter Bakers guard away.
1t was all to no purpose, however, and
the latter gained a well earned de-
cision by the time fat Al tapped the
gong at the end of the tenth Dalton
put up game battle and was given a
hearty hand as he left the ring.
Fight for Gore
The go between Tommy Leahy and
Jack Walsh was suggestive of the
Burns-Hart fight so far as gore en-
tered into the proceedings For five
rounds young Walsh and Leahy sprang
at each other like tigers, and though
Walsh forced the money-winning
Irishman young Leahy was fighting
like mad at the end. 1t was a spec
tacle of never-say-die ringster en-
deaVoring to swing countless haymak-
ers at a clever lad who stung inerci-
lessly with a well directed left that
seldom failed to reach the willing mes
senger boys physiognomy
Leahy'S face was sight to behold
in the third round, with bright Grim
son flowing from cut under the left
eye and badly bruised lips. There was
fire in his eye, however, and back he
came for more of the cruel jabbing. He
hurled his strength into countless
swings that went for nothing, as
Walsh side-stepped or ducked. 1t was
discouraging, but Leahy would not
stop.
Walsh was Irish but it was a Celt,s
blood flowing over his own shoulder as
he clashed with a gore-smeared coun-
tryman: Leahy didn't mind the rights
and leftS so long as he was able to
come back, and although Walsh did
most of the landing both boys were
staggering at the end of the third
round. The fourth was a repetition
Walsh again ripping in with his left,
Leahy watching and waiting for a
chance to thrust in damaging right.
Eddie Robinson's decision awarding
the decision to Walsh proved popular.
The first affair terminated rather
suddenly when "Mr. Locke" as An
nouncer Cook introduced him, planted
noisy left in Fred McDonald's eating
regions during the second round. Me-
Donald had been smiling and enjoying
uHiocli CNVcSuiHbly Wnen Ine inter-
ruption occurred. Several encouraging
wallops We're needed to send him un-
der the ropes. Eddie Robinson had
hardly tolled off the fatal ten when
Freddie was on his feet with wry
face regretting that the fun had come
to an end.
Billy Walsh Wins
1t was great night for the Walsh
family and Billy added to the family
fame by placing Kid Barry in such a
condition that the affair was stopped
hi the second round after Barry had
gone down for the count of eight and
then received considerable body punish
nent upon resumng his position in the
ring.
Both boys were clean cut, handsome
appearing youngsters and put up a
lively exhibition during their short STAY
between the ropes. In the second round
young Walsh commenced a tattoo on
Barry's kidneys that ultimately told on
the pink checked opponent. Half wrest-
ling and half hitting Wash sent Barry
TO the floor where he remained while
Robinson counted eight. He was evil
