Billy Delaney's great big, awkward
boy, AL Kaufman, won his battle with
Dave Barry last night in the fourteenth
round. the fight being stopped by Ref
cree Charles Eyton because Barry was
down and out.
Although the Green Solomon bout
was the first on the card, COMPRISING
a split double event, local interest at
tached to the first appearance In Los
Angeles, fKaufmann, who has been
touted as the boy wonder and the COM
ing heavyweight champion of the
world.
Kaufman exhibited his punch. that
fearful right which has sent FIVE aspir-
ing heavies to clumber in the first
round, and the exhibition was satisfac-
tory to the 5000 persons who witnessed
its execution, yet the prime result OF
the battle is that Kaufman is yet far
from being a champion, as he lacks
ring generalship and ability to know
when he has an advantage,
Barry stayed with Kaufman four
teen rounds because he is more experj-
enced in ring tactics and generalship.
although four times sent to the mat
for the count.
The fight should have ended with a
knockout to the credit of Kaufman in
the fourth round, when he sent Barry
to the mat with a succession of rights
to the jaw that resounded like a rock
thrown into q deep well.
Although Barry was down for the
count in the fourth round, he came
back and fought until the gong tapped
the signal for him to take a rest be-
cause Kaufman did not realize his adj
vantage.
Again in the tenth round Kaufman
sent Barry down for the count, but on
the recovery of Barry the kid wonder
die not follow his advantage and al
lowed his opponent to stay until the
gong came to his rescue
When Barry went down in the tenth
he was very groggy and all but out,
but his remarkable recuperative powers
and generalship saved him for the sec
ond time, as he stalled out this round,
Once more, in the thirteenth round,
Kaufman sent Barry down with that
dreadful right jab and it seemed as
ie the battle was ended, but Kaufman
once more failed to come back and
annex his advantage by finishing the
work.
The end came in the fourteenth
round, however, when Barry was twice
knocked down by a right cross. On
the first down, Barry listened to the
tolling of the count until mine" was
pronounced by Referee Eyton, when he
sprang to his feet and Immediately
went to cover, but was unable to stall
off the application of the blistering re-
peat which Kaufman sent in, and
again he went down.
When 1t became apparent to Eyton
that Barry was done for, he stopped

knockout.
Kaufman showed his ability to
punch, 1t also demonstrated his lack of
ring experience against clever GATHERS
and until Billy Delaney shall teach him
the value of following up his advantage,
Kaufman must be content to scrap
with second raters.
Barry made an excellent showing
against long odds and his generalship
and foxiness saved him many times,
when he would otherwise have been
down and out.
1t was a case of an experienced
boxer and rough house fighter against
a fighter who does not really possess
the necessary experience for one who
would be real champion.
Green Beaten
The first event on the card was the
and Kid Solomon, the pride of Sonora
town.
Twice before these clever and hard
hitting 1875 Founders have met without
having shown sufficient difference for
a decision and this third meeting was
expected to settle the question of SUI
periority between them. And it did,

times and early in the battle he closed
Green's right eye.
Until the seventh round there was
nothing to the scrap except Solomon.
He forced the fighting and landed the
only effective blows to this time.
Green woke up in the eighth and
fought back, but it was an even toss
from that time until the tenth round.
However, from first to last, Solomon
greater effectiveness than did Green
and Green showed the effects of the
punishment administered throughout
the battle.
Solomon displayed his usual clev-
erness in avoiding punishment and in
the infighting. When he emerged
from the battle as the winner he had
scarcely mark upon him to account
for the seventeen rounds.
That most important element of the
fight and which won for Solomon was
the effective and accurate manner in
which he used his left jab stick. II
