ERNE BEAT
DESHLER

Young Erne Of this city last night
at Philadelphia served notice on all
lightweights that he is once more at
his best Erne met Dave Deshler of
Cambridge in the windup at the Wash
ington Sportin gclub. and put up the
best exhibition since he outfought Abe
Attell year ago.
There were moments when Deshler
showed that he has the punch which
has made him famous. but Erne was so
wonderfully clever and so fast that
Deshler had few opportunities during
the first four rounds TO do any dam
age.
The points belonged 10 Erne by a
wide margin. although in the nth
round. when Dashler made Erne's
stomach the object OF his attack, II
looked as II Dave would even up mat
ters before the finish.
Deshler made n splendid impression
but tonight Erne was in such great
form that Dave appeared slow in com
parison, although, barring the fact that
he was bleeding from the nose and
mouth during the closing rounds, Desh-
Ter was not damaged much by the
numerous blows he received.
George Cole had the better Jack
Williams In the semi windup. Jack
gave n good account OF himself in the
early rounds. but Coles body blows
told before the finish.
In one OF the prelinlinaries Eddie
Carter OF Germantown Knocked out
Kid Broad In the second round.
