conner The dinge has everything a
fighter needs and in time should develop
into topnotcher.
The BOYS were fighting for 800 side
bet and the purse offered them by Tom
McCarey. and Webster, who collected the
change, certainly earned what he got
He wasn't in danger at any stage OF the
game. but Bubbles was just about good
enough to make him work all the way
In the first round it looked very much
like Robinson. as the negro tore in with
great burst of speed. Webster's clever
ness stood him in good stead, and he let
Buddy whang away without offering TO
return a punch. Danny laughed at the
dnge for half round, and then ne went
after him, causing the blood to squirt
from Robinson's nose before the period
was over
In the second spasm Dannie wasted no
time, but chased Robinson all over tne
ring landing body punches at Will. Tney
didn't seem to bother the black boy, al
though he bled a little from the sore
nose. The following period Danny reached
the boogies beak with few well directed
labs, and Buddy appeared to be in trouble
But he took his punishment ike man.
and was there at the end, occasionally
reaching Webster with short arm hooks
Webster slowed down In the tourtn,
and although he tried to get to the white
hov Robinson was unable to do mucn
damage He reached Danny's beak with
a nice one and started the claret to trlcK-
ling In the fifth Webster returned the
compliment by swapping over rev nay
makers and cutting Buddy's lips. Botn
fighters were a little tired and the pace
was whole lot slower than in preceding
rounds.
Webster Takes It Easy
The next two rounds saw Webster TAX

forced the fighting, but could not make
an impression. The referee did not hesl-
tate to grab Webster's arm, ana the
crowd was convinced that, altnough
Bubbles is a conner, Webster's game was
a little too hard for beginner to tackle.
Leonard Lauder cashed a lucky bet
when he was given the decision over
Young Dempsey in the last ten round
bout on the program. What propaply

the better of the pair can be charged 10
the whirlwind finish Lauder put up, and
also to Dempsey's inability in the CLOS
ing round to do any damage.
Until the closing period the mill was not
a nretty one to watch, for the boys did
very little open fighting. Dempsey usual
" did the leading, and clinch followed
every exchange of punches. Lauder was
a lof more willing to stand up and fight
than he was when stacked up against
Knight, and every once in wnile ne

second Lauder started something that
sent Dempsey into the contracting busi- |
moss Lauder started off with rush and
Dempsey was there TO meet him, the re-
suit of a left swing being a little shanty
on LADDERS left eye.
Dempsey connected with Ladders nose
in the fourth and the claret began to
trickle from that member. In the clos
ing part of the period Leonard got back
at his opponent by slamming one home
TO the bread basket that hurt the other |
boy.
one of LADDERS gold teeth shifted its
moorings in the sixth act, when Dempsey
swung over a neat one but the local boy
didn't mind little thing like that and
landed some neat shifts to the stomach
and face. Dempsey had all the best of
the eighth, but in the ninth Lauder went
after his man, and in the tenth was
fighting at a faster gait than his oppo-
nent. Walsh's decision was fair, although
a draw would have done no harm.
rretty Little Battle
scotty johnson and Eddie Menney put
up a pretty battle for ten rounds, and at
the end Menney received poorly earned
decision Johnson fought a cool battle,
and had Eddie bleeding all the time, but
his clooness and the fact that he landed
the cleaner blows didn't get him any
thing at the end.
The only knockout of the evening oc-
nice draw in their little six-act session.
gram, when Guy Martin got his from
Young Terry McGovern in the third round
of their battle.
McGovern opened the first round with
rush that carried Martin off his feet, but
no damage was done, and the Pasadena
lad stayed down for the count on advice
from his corner. He almost stuck around
on the mat too long, for Tommy Walsh
tolled off nine seconds and then had to
ask Martin If he didn't intend to get up.
Martin was all right in the second
spasm and in the busy fighting which
occurred held his own. In the opening
of the third McGovern started with a
nice swing that staggered Guy, but the
Pasadena boy was game for beating
boys were swinging both hands like wind
mills when Martin stuck his chin in the
way of a wicked punch, and the show
was over.
Harry Rose and Jake Arnold fought
of the battle he used nothing but left
Up to the fifth round the going was easy,
and the crowd began to hoot the fighters
for being so tame. Then they got busy,
and the fifth and sixth spasms were hum
mers. Rose was pretty tired at the end,
but he managed to stick around long
enough to tear Arnold's nose open and
start some juice flowing.
Tommy Walsh gave a good decision at
the end of the fight between Martin
Leahy and Jimmy Austin, but the crowd
hooted on general principles. Leahy did
not know that he had two hands until
late in the game, for in the first part
Of the battle he used nothing but jeff
lab which served to keep Austin from
coming in too close. In the last round
Leahy found his other init and knocked
Austin down with right on the jaw.
The boys were both strong at the end
and the draw was satisfactory.
