Johnny Dwyer outfought and out boxed Bert Reyes last night at the Sharkey A. c. and won by margin of mile.
 The much-touted Reyes certainly has punch but until the sixth and last round of the battle last night couldn't connect It.
 Dwyer, fast as'lightning, clever as start and was right on top of his man at all times. In the sixth Reyes did flash for minute and did some damage which, if the bout had gone ten rounds, might have worried Dwyer.
 Dwyer, fast as lightning. celver as the best of 'em, lacks knockout wal Top on account of bad hands, other wise Reyes would have gone to slumberland early in the battle.
 Reyes missed forty wallops by an inch, Dwyer getting out of danger every time, excepting in the last round. when an awful hook on the head bothered him, but even then Reyes couldn't follow up his advant- age and put his man away.
 Twelve hundred spectators saw the battle and were swept of their feet by the fast, clever work of Dwyer.
 Reyes admirers were keenly disap- pointed in their man, but found some consolation in the fact that he wasn't knocked out and had a shade the best of the last round.
 In the preliminaries Mickey Donough had shade on Dick Miller in four rounds. Willie Mango out pointed Louis Brown, but the van- quished man received an ovation when he left the ring for his clever work with a veteran like Mango. Jimmy Moran had the best of Willie Jones and the bell only saved al knockout. Frankie Paul had the high sign on Young Kid Broad, and the latter took whole lot of punishment, but was all in the bell for the end of the sixth round.
